I worked at a game studio that was contracted to help with an AAA military sci-fi first-person shooter. The protagonist in the games has usually been lionized for using technology in war, and I didn't feel comfortable working on someth

I mean, like, I was happy that I did well and all, but I don't think I was intrinsically excited about that kind of thing as a child.

Not earrings, but I’ve done it with clothing, hairstyles, jewelry, etc. and it’s brought out us being friends. I don’t think it’s that uncommon between men. At the same time, I’ve met women that haven’t made as many friends with other women

Would you say a Pixel 2 is a status symbol too?

We have a similar thing going on here in Vancouver. The computer controlling the cars centrally manages their location and velocity, as to ensure that there's a breadth of passenger coverage around the metropolitan area. It's also

I think Jeff is pretty invested in his craft in general, but it’s just that he focuses on making an ideal product with the resources and abilities he has available to him.

I'd love to hear about this difference between the new Hugo-awarded novels and the authentic Hugo awards of old. Would there be any good examples of this? I know you mentioned you didn't want to single out anything particular, but

Sorry, could you explain how fighting is akin to "discipline and dedication to mastery of one's psychical self"? The former strikes me as something that involves other people, while the latter you've described seems like

A lot of performance-sensitive code involved in game development usually eschews garbage collection, as pause times can affect per-frame performance budgets non-deterministically. It's partially why Rust and modern C++ are getting a lo

Scott Meyers also suggests the same sort of thing in Effective Modern C++ when not using an IDE. Personally, I use the technique a lot for debugging template errors in the language.

I think in this case, they're attempting to keep the "inked" look where lines start and stop. Pixel doubling would result in aliasing (or, rather, a "pixelated" look) and bilinear filtering results in a "blurre

I hope this attitude remains, as the reduced demand will let me scoop up Sartori BellaVitano on the cheap.

Thanks for posting the studies. This might be considered bad faith but the parent comment struck me as anecdotal and I wanted to press where those sources were coming from.

Interesting, I had no idea the rate was so high. I’ve seen one study[1] that sampled for ~7%, but not 25%. Do you have a link I could read? [1] https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2904453/

I'd imagine Japan's attitudes have changed the same, as well.

I live in a larger North American city and short-term rentals via companies like Car2Go are much more cost-effective than owning a car for me. Given, I'm childless in a city and rent so I could understand why a parent would potentially

In earnest, I do not believe that a lack of population is the biggest hurdle in ensuring that people won't go extinct. I would suspect that climate change, geopolitical tensions, and poverty are larger factors.

Really? It strikes me as a great way of not validating the interruption to me.

It's a lot less centralized than it used to be (eg: Flash Portals), and you're right that there isn't the same iconic replacement as Flash's WYSIWYG editor, but I think there are a lot more browser-playable tools and opt

I have dog allergies and work in a workplace that allows dogs. It's not terribly fun, and I feel like I'm fighting a politically-uphill battle to not be seen as the bad one while still having a decent space to work.

At the end of the test, the author talks about automation programming for a nuclear power plant. I don’t think I could ever sleep the same at night after writing something like that.

If it's "all shades of grey", I feel like that leaves a lot of room for the feelings and discussion for how and what light they want to view their historical figures. I think "Never meet your heroes" is a popular sa

Herb Stutter mentioned once that an advantage of the STL is that it gets you good general-purpose performance initially, but tries to stay out of your way if you want to replace it for something more specialized. I think you’re right about

I haven't really used either Lisp or Rust much, but I didn't find the code too bad. Given, everything seems quite well-named here, and that helps a ton.

It’s not usually what comes to mind when I think of the word “censored”, but I don’t think it’s unrealistic for a forum or conversation to set ground rules on what’s acceptable speech and isn’t.
