Robinhood only allows you to trade for an hour into after hours. WeBull, another retail platform, and I believe thinkorswim (TDA's offering) allows you to trade the full after hours length of time which ends at 8pm EST. edit: These are

I also like the digital twin concept as it applies to sci-fi. Sometimes I daydream our universe is a digital twin built by an advanced civilization meant to simulate the universe's history looking for clues as to what lead to a calamit

UO was my #1 gaming experience and sadly like others have mentioned: probably won't have that exceeded by an MMO again. However, there was a brief moment when Sierra had more control over the LOTR MMO (known as Middle Earth Online) and

Make no mistake, it's still a dumpster fire. Just maybe less raging.

True, Google is at least trying to make it easier to bind to C++ [0]. It's still pretty experimental, though. 0: https://github.com/google/autocxx

Rust has good C interoperability. So from C++ it’d look like a C library. You can either write your own glue code or use something like cbindgen to autogen the header file.

The free market didn't deliver seat belts. Regulation had to step in and Ralph Nader lobbied the US govt to get it passed.

Hamilton Richards (maintainer at the time of the EWDs on the site) was my analysis of programs professor at UT. I had arrived there in 2003 as a freshman, the reverence and impact of Djistrka was incredibly palpable. I remember some of my c

I've heard horror stories of trying to develop a game and also maintain an up-to-date Unity install. AFAIK it's best to just live with whatever Unity version you've started your game in and be careful of upgrading point relea

AMD has caught up to Intel but still lags behind nVidia (on Windows at least). I'm just not sure they can fight a two front war. Something has to give.

Do you have any sources to back this up? Particulary the hordes of grandmothers & teens downloading the app in record numbers?

Hopefully Nintendo releases the SDK? It's been a decently active platform for indie titles and homebrew games. I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think the 3DS is covered by the same NDA as the Switch in terms of toolchain/d

Have you seen the bloodshed in the NASDAQ lately? It's wiped out quite a bit of wealth... although it was fairly overheated and tech was due for a major correction, but damn watching those gains come down was painful. :/

It was back in '07-'09, we would take a few server laptops and a whole bunch of loaner laptops out to internal corporate seminars/conventions at like Bank of America, Hilton, etc. It appears to still be active but using more

I used to work for a company that made simulation based corporate training games. All the data was modeled in Excel and served as a database to read from and write back to during runtime. The frontend was written in Flash. I was the sole fr

I moved out of Austin, Texas because it's pretty awful on rent these days... $2100 for a 1 BR in the Domain... oof. I mostly lived around the city center in a house until the high rise condo developers came.

Lately, I've been having thoughts about this a lot. I've yearned for a simpler age in technology. I grew up on the internet around 96/97ish, mostly because I wanted to play games over dial-up. In those formative years, I forg

I learned this lesson recently, and I am sure I will continue to learn this lesson in the future as I've already learned it in the past. Just in many different contexts and ways!

I think bidding government contracts is a lot more complicated than just picking the cheapest option. There's a lot of other dimensions of validation that bids move through other than cost. For something like this, I'm sure there
