I believe he's saying that in the past, engineers would take a lower salary and work longer hours due to the prestige of working in the industry, or on a specific game. If they made those sacrifices and the game never even shipped, it

I'd be interested if anyone knows anything about this. Especially given the recent updates to for running .NET core on Linux/Mac, a company like Google could make great use of C# without needing to shell out for Windows licenses.

It looks like a lot of those effects are possible because when outputting to composite, the horizontal rows are well-defined, while the vertical columns are not and unlikely to precisely match/map the output. For instance, there are a

To be fair, though, Google is a company that exists in a country where shareholders have the legal right to say how a company is run. Google (for better or worse) does not belong to the world, it belongs to its shareholders who _paid_ for

That's a really interesting proposal, but I'm afraid it would be difficult to implement in practice. If this third dimension were actually encoded into the number that represents each character, you'd end up with a lot of wa

Perhaps it is fortuitous that music isn't 'in tune' with everyday background noise. The fact that the frequencies (now consistent) are entirely separate from the buzz of a transformer or garage door opener puts music in its

That flashing background effect is a little off-putting. At first I thought something was wrong with the fluorescent lights in my office, then I realized I don't have any fluorescent lights in my office...
