I think similarly with video games. However very, very few of these ever has a considerable impact on improving my wisdom or changing perspective. It would be crazy for me to subscribe to something like Humble Monthly Bundle with this reali

Ronin is probably a good fit: "The application is a cross-over between Vim and Photoshop, where every change to the canvas is inputed as a command." http://wiki.xxiivv.com/ronin

What I love about the Witcher stories are how well they can be looked at as a fantastical commentary on modern life, especially with business and politics. Right now I’m playing through 3 and seeing Geralt as a monster-slayer consultant tha

It’s not that unrealistic if the team is willing to let go of the idea of finding someone that’s perfect in all three: UX, design and front-end. Teams just have to find a person that’s effective given their existing team and their immediate

It’s been interesting seeing the pricing difference between tech’s take on monetizing meditation (cheap subscriptions or high-priced lifetime access) and those done by the mindfulness “thought leaders” or Sounds True (varying levels of life

Seems like a natural progression given video games. When I saw that photo I immediately thought about the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. video game series. That gave a lot of gamers an idea of what walking around in the exclusion zone was like, albeit a ve

As others have said, do some trials at a few and see how they work out. Though from past experience it’s difficult to judge the long-term experience of a space by a 1 or 2 day trial. Ask if you can get a week at a reduced rate. Coworking sp

I’ve been concerned about predatory freemium games for a while. They seem to extract immensely more value from customers while providing little in return other than quick dopamine fixes. What can we - specifically engineers without the powe

Your expectation assumes that workers with home offices would replace the times they’ve spent commuting or socializing outside of their community with traversing around and being present in their community. Personally I think it’s a crapsho

Might be a mix between rose-tinted glasses and acknowledging that games these days aren’t always made with the same intent[1] that studios from years or decades ago had. [1]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13165780

It’s a question of intent by the business as well. Blizzard and Wizards of the Sword coast, despite getting into similar mechanics as F2P games, are still companies that largely extract value from customers as a byproduct of providing them

Sure, prices for doing this in VR are astronomical compared to photos today (the article mentions this being one of the “commercially insignificant this year” use cases). But knowing that the required technology, like 360° cameras, spatial

This only works for me in certain situations and I’m not sure why. If I’m in a coffeeshop and there’s a hum of noise I want to drown I’ll listen to some music. AFAIK I have no problems focusing or collating the text while doing this. But if

Most of my clients pay via credit card (really Xero invoice + Stripe integration) unless they happen to be in my city. No complaints and I usually prefer it anyway versus dealing with cheques and wire transfers even with the Stripe fee.

Although less conspicuous, there’s a similar story with Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2’s box art depicting a NYC skyline being bombarded (also released in 2000).
