Wow I think that site has the 1st decent GDPR popup thing I've seen. Just two buttons, accept cookies, reject cookies, u click one and then it goes away.

How easy is building to mobile in Godot? I have been a Unity dev for years and my main reason for using it is that I can build to most platforms with relative ease from the one engine.

I was so pumped for Oculus. I was following them way before Carmack joined. I had a DK2. What facebook did to Oculus is a good enough reason for me to hate them intensely forever.

I'm suprised they go to so much effort to get peoples info in 2022. Surely u can scrape as much of that as you want from social media or just buy it en-mass? Then u can spam people to your hearts content.

I think engineers can sometimes become hyper-focused on a single metric eg. speed. A webpage in 1992 or today just needs to load fast enough. Theres a whole rake of other factors that may be more important than speed.

I mean, anyone who believed the bullshit back in 2005 was being hopelessly naive, to put it mildly.

It's really not. For example C# has no guiding principles imo. It's just a hodgepodge of any and all popular language features all lumped together. Java was popular at its inception so it stole lots of Java, as new things have bec

The atomic element of code is the function. If I just religiously stick the fundamentals of good programming, tiny functions, avoid coupling, avoid duplication (within reason), then I am at least half way to having nice maintainable cod

I'm a game dev and usually program in C#. I love C# and honestly some features of OO (like objects and classes) are great for programming games. But inheritance is just a shit feature imo. Situations where it would be beneficial are

Yeah the tone of LOTR is oppressive, reserved, alien, post apocalyptic. I read the novel many times as a kid and loved it, so I hated the 2001 film. Imo visually it was perfect, it literally looked like the books did in my imagination.

"but bitcoin could be seen as a way of exporting abundant renewable electricity from isolated areas." The electricity is simply wasted, not exported. It cannot be used to do work anymore.

Instinctual human behaviour. We're programmed to divide into groups of us or them. Being part of a group leads to benefits from that group, but, freeloaders could just profess loyalty, get the benefits and move on. So we have an instin

Ok, I thought maybe the author is going to work getting 8 hours sleep etc. And spends their free time napping and watching youtube. I thought maybe they are software dev moaning about how they are not working on their side project in addi

You seem very certain. Several of the links in that wall o' text are merely to surveys where a number of psychologists are asked whether they think IQ is a valid measure or not. The reddit post just shows that some (maybe even a majori

I thought IQ tests were pseudoscientific anyway? If the number doesnt have any rigorous meaning then who cares if it changes, up or down, could mean anything.

I assume some corporations are lobbying for it. So they can harvest more data, and maybe sell the tech that will do this. In the past some stuff like this has either gotten through of been attempted, and its usually in some trade deal with

I would be suprised if such a thing doesnt exist in the fancy programs professional movie poster making people are using nowadays. If not, then totally sounds like a product with a clear business case, customer #1 James Cameron.

Go ahead, this site is so filled with shockingly ignorant upper class silicon valley groupthinkers that commenting is like banging your head against a particularly stupid brick wall.
