I took a photography class from this guy! Ohio represent! On topic: I've experienced exactly what he's talking about in the field of indie game development. The entire gamedev industry is on Twitter. It was an endless treadmill of

Worse than package dependency is platform dependency. My code runs on top of 10 million lines of Kubernetes insanity that no one really understands, including the thousands of authors who wrote it. In theory, that means at the drop of a hat

Note: most games are also 2D with a bit of 3D visuals thrown on top. True 3D controls are super tough for new players.

Absolutely agree. GEB constantly tries to prove the cleverness of the author, complete with winks and nudges. It stacks so many unintuitive analogies on top of each other that I spent most of the time trying to recall which real-world conce

That's reductive. Food and education are very different industries, and the scale of subsidies to individuals is HUGE in education compared to food stamps. Plus, the nature of the subsidy is important. State-sponsored universities don&

Completely agree. This is a common problem with object-oriented code bases. You've got hundreds of 20 line source files and the only way to decipher them is to trace the execution all the way from main() down to the last util class.

Perfect example is that article about the Facebook messenger database migration earlier today. Messenger transitioned from an email-like system to an instant messenger.

They overhauled permissions so that the app will ask you for permission right when the app needs it, rather than 50 permissions all up front. So you try to upload a photo and Android says "allow access to photos?" It was a huge an

I prefer a more focused version of this principle: you should organize your data in a way that makes the design apparent. The code will follow later. This principle still works with the author's example. Most of the refactoring he did

I've had pretty bad tinnitus my whole life. In a perfectly quiet room it sounds deafeningly loud. I use a pink noise app in bed at night, but otherwise it doesn't really bother me. Point is, don't worry about it, your brain c

What technology visible on the 50 year horizon can compute anything of significance in 1 nanosecond? Right now it's more like the opposite: 1 second of brain activity takes 10 million seconds to simulate, and we're probably doing

What are your thoughts on the "rest" of Frederickson's research? You seem content to debunk only Losada's math (charitably characterized as a "brain fart"), where this article seems more willing to lambast posi

Some video games are great. Video game culture is... not great. I think this guy is upset with the culture and companies in gaming rather than the games themselves. Surprised he didn't say anything about loot boxes.

I think tech is hard to predict because it's more about economic and human factors rather than the actual difficulty of research. New tech doesn't truly change the world until it hits mass market.

Thanks for the tldr! > 3. Proposes that a [software] system's interaction with the outside world is a larger problem than the system itself [i.e. UX tougher than code] I hate this mindset that tries to divorce UX and code. If you&#x

This one took roughly a full work day. I'm a slow writer, and had to record a few new gifs and Inkscape up the camera diagrams.

This looks pretty amazing. Question: if two people are sharing code and one of them hits "Build", whose machine builds the project?

I feel the exact opposite. Reaching for the mouse and aiming the cursor takes forever. I almost never use number prefixes like "10d" for the same reason you dislike them. There are so many other options. } to skip to the bottom of

I think the strongest arguments for vim are: 1. The main benefit of vim or any editor is not some fancy feature like macros or visual block editing. Although vim has those and they are great, they only become useful in about 20% of situatio

Jeesh, take it easy. I took the numbers to be rhetorical. Of course you'd want to use intuitive icons instead of just numbers. What I'm curious about is what kind of prevailing more intuitive system you had in mind.

I always wondered: would a direct hit from a coronal mass ejection wipe out all hard drives? It will be... interesting if we have to rewrite all software from scratch.
