There is exactly zero inbound communication that I will action via the incomming communication method. Email, text, phone call, etc, I will follow up with people I know on a separate channel. That's just for requests, of course I'

I have found the same to be true in game development once all the pieces start coming together. There is no substitute to just using the thing. Maybe you don't find bugs/splinters, maybe you realise that it just doesn't feel

If you like this kind of urban exploration of infrastructure, but you can't get out and do it; I cannot recommend the game INFRA enough. I believe the company who made it originally did 3D visualisations of infrastructure for companies

I think the games are so clearly different in mechanics, audience and design that, all they have is character likeness infringement. But there are literally hundreds of pokemon, and I have a hard time suggesting Pokemon should be the sole r

To your point about first impressions, I appreciate hearing a similar outlook about such circumstances. I have pretty severe scarring from a thing I am afflicted with, and it's very noticeable. I will often cover them up for the first

Parasocial relationships don't require interaction, you could just watch a twitch streamer a lot. I think if we defined it by requiring interaction we would underestimate the percieved impact of these social phenomenon.

I run a linux laptop, which I hook up to a USB dongle and hdmi cable each day. At work it's all sitting there ready. At home I have a USB hub with all my peripherals which I simply unplug from my "fun personal" desktop and in

Cheating on what, the computer vetting process? Maybe companies should actually interview people in person, then they wouldn't have a problem anymore. Good candidates are swirling around in the limbo of bad faith automated vetting tool

I kind of did do that when switching from the full layout keyboard to a 58 key layout, it was indeed big a distraction for a few weeks as I learned where things were. The accuracy was the big slowdown, I was mistyping a lot, rather than slo

Beautifully put. I didn't give it serious thought until perhaps 5 years ago, at which point I started gearing my tools to keyboard only input. I had always found the mouse clumsy, inconcise and a distraction if it was needed. Without g

I "touch type" at 120-140, it doesn't help me program, at all. I got that fast because I spent my teens in chatrooms, but it's not homerow style, it's any finger anywhere at any time hover touch typing. This was a r

I have stopped calling myself a full stack developer, because the meaning and the role are kind of ambiguous now. Clients don't know what they can talk to me about (everything), and PMs seem to be unsure of what I can be assigned to (a

They were talking about ye olden day I believe. Webmasters used to do every aspect of web development, hosting and all. There are still people who do that at smaller companies, but you wouldn't call them a webmaster anymore.

We are really good at mis-estimating scale. So we know brine decreases sharply from the point of outflow, but do we know what 50 years of brine outflow at tens of thousands of locations around the world would do? If it's profitable, it

Same, although I am surprised because busses in cities skylines are usually still affected by car traffic issues. Trains would run perfectly though.

This has been my observation, I think people will get caught up in the details but most dev workflows I see now are either containerised (docker etc) or serve themselves (rails, node, even PHP can serve itself with no webserver) I see less

Make sure you are kind to our crow friends, judging by the trajectory of these articles I fear their intelligence is growing as fast as ours is dropping. While that's definitely a joke, I wouldn't be that surprised by a human gett

It's interesting engineering problem, I wouldn't imagine LLMs as they currently are could work directly on the whole codebase without breaking it just as often as the APIs. But perhaps you could have it maintain connectors/in

I tried to build something years ago on a similar foundation, and I found maintaining the API list to be impossible as a solo dev. In a pool of say 30 APIs, at least one would break their "contract" as a public resource daily. Shi

Indeed, but that doesn't effect most people since most people are not on high salaries. It should help for people like my mother, who get paid sweet fuck all but are expected to work 10-12 hour days, where 1-3 of it is homework and the

Semantically you are correct, contextually it had the potential to be rude. Words morph and twist in meaning all the time, based on context and individual interpretation. It was not that weird to apologise for calling someone entitled. It i

Agreed, unless you need access to the plugin ecosystem perhaps. Most things are about as difficult in ES6 as they are with jQuery, so there's no huge benefit to jQuery in my experience.
