I avoid the Microsoft store on Windows but I use Steam all the time. I've also used Steam on MacOS for those few games that run on MacOS that I wanted to play. I'd can see myself using other stores on iOS depending on the store. I

Question: If I change my password from mydumbphrase to mydumbphrase1 and the system says "too close to your previous password" is that proof they kept my password in plaintext and that their service in insecure?

Sounds like a YC startup idea to me. Small bots that carry waste through the dry sewers. I'm both joking (haha), and I'm not joking (maybe there are tech solutions)

The point is Canada's water is not close enough to the places in the USA that would need that water for it be compelling to invade Canada for their water.

I found it extremely frustrating in that what I expected/hope for was that I'd write a function that got called with some object that had the headers and body of an HTTP request to which I'd output a response. Instead what I

That's very exciting! A nit: > For example, I have not encountered hardware for reading vertex attributes or uniform buffer objects. The OpenGL and Vulkan specifications assume dedicated hardware for each, so what’s the catch? That

What is the stealman argument for FLoC? I don't agree with the argument that "no tracking" is better than semi-anonymous tracking because I believe "no tracking" is effectively impossible. Only in some fantasy world

I enjoyed Alyx but ... I wish there were more AAA VR games that were not horror (scary) games. I almost didn't make it past chapter 3 of Alyx where you're in the dark with zombies and a flashlight. And, I think I played most of th

This is a much bigger problem than just Counter Strike. I'm pretty confident there are 1000+ games on the steam store that have vulnerabilities where a simple link or network packet while gaming can exploit a user's machine. Both

If Apple was consistent with this I wouldn't mind as much. To be consistent they'd have to ban twitter, reddit, safari, chrome, firefox, Apple's music service, all the other music services, the Podcast app, other podcast apps

Most of my finances are just strings of 1s and 0s. My company pays me. They don't send pieces of paper to my bank. It happens via 1s and 0s. From there, 80-90% of my expenses get paid automatically (rent, most taxes, electricity, inter

The bigger point is it's not free. Otherwise you can claim any part of a Mac is free. You're paying $999 for an OS and getting a free machine. You're paying $999 for a keyboard that has a free computer attached to it. Etc.. n

and yet 10s of thousands of people make games in a new hours in Unity. Go see all the game jam games. So no, Unity is not "too complex" and it's very suitable for hobby use.

So I'm curious. I live in Japan and have a Japanese number. I have a USA number via Google Fi. I get several spam calls on the USA number but zero on the Japan number. Any idea why? It it just luck? It is scammers don't target Jap

I agree with all of your points. The counter argument would be seeing the success of WeChat in China and wanting to reproduce that success AND expecting that if they don't do it someone else will do it and take their market. Whether th

It is different. It's as different as books+magazines vs the internet. TV on the internet (ie, video) has basically an infinite supply. I couldn't binge 70hrs of Game of Thrones followed by 70 hours of Breaking Bad before "T

I had this discussion with a AAA game studio recently. They have a hit game will millions of players and it's been a hit for many years. It uses a custom engine. They've been releasing new games. Those new games are in both Unity

Unity is just fine. 1000s of shipping successful games. The latest hit game made in Unity is Valheim. I don't choose games based on their engine I choose them based on if they are fun. Same as I don't choose movies based on what c

Are there any short videos (under 2 minutes) that would be better to pass to non-tech friends? Most people, myself included, would tune out of such a long video.

So have I. I can assure you there is scaling in every game and VFX I've worked on since the late 90s

unfortunately, IIUC, GA doesn't handle scaling. It's ironic the picture of a T-POSE in that article is a cartoon like character. Cartoon animation is full of "squash and stretch" which means lots of animation of scale.

This is nice but ... the real "fun" of animation is handling all the variations of how to mix the data. It's easy to take a full set a bone animation data and apply it to matrices. The challenge, not sure challenge is the rig
