If you have the time or resources, try doing something that interests you in programming that doesn't have any "super cool feats of hacker ability" or commercial value. It might be more artistic or maybe just silly, but the v

I worked at a company that was contracted to do an expansion for a computer game called Age of Empires II. It was more or less my first job out of university, and I was tasked with expanding the UI and JSON file loading so people could make

I think it might be for graduates like Alexandr Wang who went to good schools and have more or less lead comfortable lives. If someone's had a less privileged upbringing and a career in software enables them to improve their lot, maybe

I think the article is suggesting that PG's writings are presenting a romanticized narrative of being an industrious entrepreneur for the purpose of encouraging young computer programmers to apply to Y Combinator.

Yeah, I wasn't familiar with the author before, but I more or less agreed with the contents of the article. I appreciate that Church recognized the unpopular nerd narrative in PG's essays. It always felt flat to me.

I think the commenter is using a paradigm where value is a function of labour. There are other viewpoints that disagree with that paradigm, like what you're suggesting.

Service dogs tend to have pretty regular grooming regimens to minimize dander exposure. They're also well-trained not to make as much noise or interact with people.

I get sick around people's dogs from allergies like your wife. Thanks for voicing your comment; I feel like pet owners usually don't take things very seriously when I talk about getting sick from dogs.

I visited Taiwan and noticed a similar setup. [1] To be honest, I really liked the idea as I feel like it could help the average person with personal budgeting. [1] https://guidetotaipei.com/article/taiwan-receipt-lotte

You're right that humour can help bring certain things to light where a more courtly scenario might not. I'd posit that the opposite is also true where a space with more formality can also be helpful. Each sort of space has its st

I think only really the SNES/N64 years embodied the cutting-edge solutions associated with novel games. Their whole ethos to entertainment (especially the handheld line becoming the core product in a way) still feels embodied in Yokoi&

I'm so happy I learned that there's a "line rider demoscene" today.

I'm a little surprised you're being downvoted. I thought you captured the philosophy of neoliberalism well and explained how that mapped onto the US political parties.

I can see in the article you linked that Weinstein is using said claims in his public perception campaign, but I can't find any other resources about the "some people" part. Maybe I'm not in the know about the film indus

It's miles away, but I kind of feel like System76's Thelio tries to inch a little in that direction.

I think Flash's editor and scripting abilities had a more accessible "on-ramp" for creating interactive content. I think the technical knowhow and discipline is a little higher with JavaScript compared to Flash.

I'm not an American, but Sheriffs are typically locally elected, correct? I'm curious how that can depend from county to county.

I think that range ebbs and flows over time, to be honest. I'm not American, but it seems like there was less polarization in the US the 1950s than there was in the early 1900s, for example. I don't think it's unfair to not a

I can't comment on Apple laptops or AMD processors, but game consoles usually try to operate with a Razor and Blades model[1]. A manufacturer such as Sony likely wants to get the install base of a PlayStation to be as big as possible a

I'm quite bearish on VR as a mass-market product, and to get my point across I usually replace the term "virtual reality" with "Nintendo 3DS strapped to your face". I think you've kind of touched on my point we

I think a pure ECS has its state manipulation well-encapsulated and organizable. Part of me thinks that sort of design would mesh pretty well with Rust’s ownership system.

I can imagine reworking the x86 processor should be straightforward, but I'd be curious about the cost of emulating the proprietary hardware inside the Original Xbox (eg: render pipeline, memory architecture, I/O, etc.). An exampl

When you talk about having a "decent shot at a normal life", I think you're assuming what's desirable for you is what's desirable for other people. It's hard to imagine someone finding fulfillment in being the
