You're missing that the point of being around people for some of us is to "interact" with them. I can easily interact with co-workers. I can not easily interact with strangers at a co-working space. Also I work on console gam

Do you have any links to data that people at Google work more? That's certainly not my experience or understanding

Didn't work for me. The fact that we work on the same thing gives me more reasons to talk. I can't ask random people at a co-working space to help me debug an issue or to brainstorm a solution. They aren't familiar with my pr

I agree it's true for "some" people. Not for "most" "spending time with family" - no, I'm single and alone and so are most of my co-workers "living in a nicer / cheaper location" - no,

For me, either I can go to the office 90% of the time or I can burn out from being alone at home and only talking to people via chat/video. My personal live is qualitatively better when I go to work most of the time. There are tradeoff

Disagree completely. All metrics at my company, gamedev, show throughput is down ~66% since WFH Me, I want to go back to the office. Like hanging out with my work friends.

I'm so glad. I trust running whatsapp.com, messenger.com, slack.com, discord.com, bluejeans.com, zoom.com etc.. I do not trust installing the Whatsapp app, slack app, discord app, zoom app, or bluejeans app. In the browser I have cont

I agree. I used Reader a ton and was upset when Google cancelled it. I signed up for a few different paid readers, one in particular was trying to be a clone for Google Reader. But, in those few months, my behavior changed and I no longer f

Failed for me. I use Chinese and Japanese. There are no spaces to split on. I also search code where this also fails. I know it was meant to be simple and illustrate some points. I think the point it fails at is that this is actually a much

what part do you find distracting? Does it go off with sound or vibrations? I set my phone on the table/desk and completely forget about it. 4hrs later I see I missed 6 messages, a few I would have prefer to respond to when they arrive

It's not about the bugs. It's about one person putting 16k hours time into it instead of 100 people each putting in 160hrs each (yes I know that's not how it works but something is arguably wrong if it takes 16k hours of one

Just a guess. I have no idea how to make a mortar shell nor how to aim it accurately. For a drone I just tape some explosives to it and then fly it remotely via camera to the exact thing I want to blow up. I probably don't know enough

That sounds like a bad architecture and a bloated app. It's like if VSCode decided "we don't do plugins, everyone commit your idea directly into our main repo" A sensible plugin architecture would let you do either

Java got it wrong IMO. There are many things that need the same management. C++ allows this vis destructors. You can auto-manage memory, auto manage locks, auto manage files, auto manage GPU resources, auto manage video players, audio playe

Not quite. There was a post on here that Uber's other big advance was the fact they don't own taxis and via demand pricing they incentivize more people to drive during high demand times. A Taxi company can't do that. They can

Honestly, if we could get a group of people, 4chan?, to try to complain about apps and get lots of them banned maybe there'd be more legal pressure to stop Google and Apple being the arbiters of what's allowed on your phone.

Hard pass. I used a site that did something like this. I found it extremely frustrating not to just be able to look at the entire document with multiple code samples. This to me is fluff and animation because you can, not because it's

While certain tech companies say they haven't seen a reduction in performance via WFH, all my game dev friends say performance/velocity is 1/2 to 1/4th speed with WFH. Their thinking is that game devs (artists, game desi

While you're collaborating with your teammates, if you reference anything external or get it wrong or don't come up with an answer in 45 minutes you're fired! Still stress free?

Shadertoy is the absolute worst way to learn graphics. It's a puzzle designed for experts to show they can pass the puzzle. Production graphics almost never use those techniques. Production graphics don't limit themselves to fragm

In my imagination, teen girls would love to be able to use AR to talk to their friends with their friend appearing like a hologram in their room over their friend appearing on their phone ala facetime.
