I disagree with the importance of source code. I've saved weeks of time diagnosing issues when given the 3rd party source code compared to attempting to work with the 3rd party vendor without source access. Also, Unreal 4 compiles in

As someone who has worked in startups, web shops, and now in games, I definitely feel like I fit in better here. A lot of my peers are talented but socially awkward. I don't even feel like there's any political maneuvering going

I've interpreted Kahn's main objections to be that the dome shape is difficult to efficiently partition for human living. Any conventional appliances placed against walls would leave large gaps. You could put some plumbing and e

"There can be a lot of projectiles, they appear and disappear quickly, and every time that happens we incur the cost of allocating/deallocating memory multiple times." I write a lot of shoot-em-ups (both 2d and 3d). I never

I really want to see one serious double blind study where someone extracts oil out of snakes and tests its effectiveness on various common ailments. Not for scientific rigor. At this point, I just really want to know what would happen.

I find this really encouraging, as 8 to 10 years ago, I used a Markov-chain type strategy to complete a novel for me when I didn't have time to enter NaNoWriMo. I did a combined corpus approach with Project Gutenberg copies of Sense a

One could be pedantic and say that the article correctly explains why he deserves to be "classified" as the best Scrabble player on Earth. The very last line says that he knows every legal Scrabble word. The article also claims t

I find that when working on large projects, the code does get rewritten... in a totally different location in the source tree... and we can never delete the old code.

I extended Python SimpleHTTPServer as a data store server for some web games and also as a cross-site XML server for said games. Knod would fit that niche just fine.

When we were in Shanghai for ChinaJoy, we stopped at a Yunan beer bar called Southern Barbarian. Our appetizer was a plate of deep fried crickets, meal worms, and bees. They all had a nice potato chip feel and taste. The bees made my lip

I even tried to fly through the sector in reverse to see if I could do something weird like assaulting the rebel homeworld. Not a thing you can actually do.
