That's a good pool of questions to choose from. How long do you think would not take an applicant to fill all of the questions? My questionnaire for the same purpose (hiring) has 30 similar questions, yet including some that query soft

Ist just remembered only "xvzf" 20 years ago, not knowing the meaning of each switch back then.

Wow, this is pretty sophisticated and commendable. I'd love to have the resources to do something similar. In contrast to 'standard' application development, automated testing is really rare in the non-AAA games industry. At

Really interesting. Only two weeks ago we've been told by an AWS Architect that "if you need persistent TCP connections to servers avoid the ELB and connect straight with your [scaled] EC2 instances". This was for a higher lo

Yes, I preordered the PS4 VR, that's going to be awesome.

Game Dev CTO here, having worked with Spil already I'm curious with what he will come up. I totally agree that we need a change in mobile game design. I love the tech behind the games, designing backends which quickly have to serve mil

If you'd find out the Uber app is sending home your browser history, this is big news already! I'm in CEST, if I wouldn't be sleeping right now I'd start up Burp, Charles or Fiddler to check.

I agree. Yet this is Hackernews, and if the creators don't do it we can.

Unqualified comment, I admit, but GoDaddy as well as other domain shops seem to be stuck in the late 90s. With UI, tech and support quality. Also Namecheap, which I'm using primarily. They just put a fresh UI on top of parts of their c

Come on guys, where are the academics? Instead of overreacting please just reverse engineer, get the facts and check WHY the Uber app actually requests these permissions. I mean, it's still Java, so you got the source. I don't th

Not exactly sure what you mean, but the funny thing is that there seems to be no single-word translation from the German "performant" ("with high performance") to English. Or is it?

Much appreciated! Girls behind me in the train were already freaking out about the message which popped up in the chats. I guess they don't really understand the value :)

That's awesome, and very fast indeed after Microsoft's acquisition of Xamarin. Thanks to all involved, I was waiting a long time for these moves!

I agree again, it smells like premature optimization which is bad practice (been there).

Documented technical debt is not a bad thing. If it's undocumented (aka everybody except the "debt creator" is unaware), it's hell.

I absolutely agree if you're planning to have a long living project.

I liked the part about "technical debt". Yet I don't like this statement: "You should aspire to upgrade your dependencies and frameworks all the time". It's too generic. I'm thinking about third party depe

RAM is so cheap, why not upgrade it on your build boxes.

I feel the same. Using Jenkins since 5 years now on a daily basis. Yet I also feel it may be coming too late. During the past 5 years our projects have grown to a size were we're expecting to have more than 1m DAU end of this year, and

Some time ago (10 years) we implemented this as 'continuations' into our own game engine. E.g. see https://felipec.wordpress.com/2008/09/28/continuations-in-c-... and http://c2.com/c

Maybe you got to have them inserted, yes, but they can be empty. (My HP OfficeJet 6500A Plus also prints with empty color cartridges. I just replaced them today after weeks of emptyness).
