> I think this is especially important for developers. Our jobs are very intellectually complex, we have to constantly maintain a mental model of the code as we trace a bug back from the place it manifests to where it originated, as well

Or whoever swipes right (left? I don't know) on Tinder, or whoever emails you on dating websites. Going on dates with random people that exist outside of your social circles feels like it's more normal than perhaps it once was.

In my experience it really shines with turn-based games; I've played way more XCOM, Civilization, and South Park: Stick of Truth from my couch with the Steam Link + Controller than on my PC. My biggest complaint is finding games that I

If you're too numb or stubborn to learn the tools that your programming environment provides for writing higher quality code, I have little sympathy and would suggest that such a person fond another line of work. If, for instance, some

You have a more optimistic view of the average level of skill and knowledge of developers than I would. Basic concurrency bugs strike all the time, and a lot of people don't know what they don't know, until they've been burne

I'd be pretty happy to never see another terrible chase scene that has been crammed into a movie where it didn't need to be, just to justify showing the movie in 3D.

And assuming that A) the docs for the libraries do exist, and B) that, if the docs do exist, they don't look like the output of a million coked-up monkeys, that was then run through an automatic javadoc generator. It's just stagge

DirectX isn't exactly as much fun as a barrel of monkeys, but it's less painful and crufted up with less legacy junk than OpenGL. I can see why approximately no one writes games for Linux and Mac if they aren't already using

In a society technically advanced enough for time travel to be a reality, I would expect that the StarTrek holodeck or some other incredibly immersive VR system is already widely available. Why go through the hassle and potential danger of

Not to mention the idea that isolation in a country as large as the US is kind of irrelevant, where goddamn near every natural resource that is required is available domestically

I would read "buffaloing" somebody as a less vulgar version of bullshitting, which is also a way of lying about something, mostly to get them to buy something they don't actually need.

Unfortunately, that does work in most cases. I'm curious what the success rates would be if all zithromax (?) prescriptions were replaced with sugar pills. I've gotten that drug many times for what may or may not have been strep o

The 2.X => 3.X transition really appears to have been bungled here, which is a shame. I really liked Python before I got deeply into the .Net world, but it has become less than enticing with this fragmentation. Meanwhile other languages

A proportional penalty based on the salary of the position would make more sense. If you're hiring at McDonalds at minimum wage, $2000 is a bigger penalty than if you're hiring an engineer.

If you're teaching a course in X using Y , I don't think it's out of line to expect someone to be proficient in both X and Y. That's kind of their job.

Not least because their militaries have so atrophied under the aegis of NATO that they would be scarce able to occupy a single province were a European war to break out.

All the time? Human beings, on average, are more apt to think imperatively by default than otherwise, unless they've been explicitly trained to think otherwise.

From what I've seen, it's still a leg up on the idiocacy of JS-only developers. I'd almost like to see anybody that wants to wear the title pass a proficiency exam in C first, as an absolute, rock-bottom baseline.

This is what always fucked me up with Haskell. To introduce printf debugging, you get sucked into the morass that is the IO monad, and all the clusterfucking that involves.

I was doing a very similar schedule for about six months a year ago. Come in on Monday, do all the status meetings and email and planning work for the week, all the low-concentration, collaborative stuff, then work from home the other four
