   Do you have any evidence that there are less artists that can make a living in the current environment vs the old one? Is it possible there are more artists making a living in the current environment ?

   I lived in SF. Stayed at several buildings. Never once saw the compost bin (green) used correctly even though SF people seem to pride themselves on their "greenness". Similarly I worked at a company with 10000+ employees in SV. Ev

   As someone that's written C++ for 15 years and C for 30 I hated JS too. Now after several years of JS I can't stand C++. Things that I can do in 3 lines of JS take 100-300 in C++ Just one example: http://twgljs.org

   I'm really curious about this. There are places like say Balboa Island and Newport Beach that have had hundreds of vacation rentals since I was a kid in the 1970s. The same is true of Venice Beach in LA. I would have assumed the same w

   It's not about saying please and thank you. It's about actions. Chinese mainland tourists stick out like a sore thumb in Tokyo in particular. They are very loud and extremely rude in behavior. They don't seem to give a care a

   I agree with you. I also feel kindness breeds kindness. I don't give out charity and expect something back. I don't look at it as "hey, I just gave you $100. If you ever do anything you must do the same". I just give the

    I'm old school like you? I've been programming since TRS-80/Apple II,Atari 800 days. I know C/C++ and OpenGL, DirectX and can certainly get a simple game running faster with my own code than with Unity or Unreal at this

    I feel the technical debt is in UE's court. They're an engine designed for 100+ person teams where they assume you're a AAA developer and have lots of programmers to support your artists/designers. Unity is an app for ma

    Vulkan is still an abstraction. Most PS4 developers I know would prefer the stuff they already have which is closer to the metal. Something that uses the actual instructions for the PS4 GPU and not some cross platform API that then has to b

    I know it's just my own anecdotes but I find that really hard to believe given how painful my back pain has been. It was so painful once and lasted for about a week that I seriously considered that I would end my life if the doctor tol

    I guess I don't see obfusticating my own code as a good pattern. I gave the debugging example. Similarly serialization? With the closure solution I just do var Person = function(first, last) { var serializable = { f

    I guess I need to be schooled by why not just use closures? var Person = function(first last) { this.fullName = function() { return first + " " + last; }; this.rename = function(newFirst, newLast) {

    I'm really curious what most people do now-a-days. A long time ago I started a company with 3 friends. We were advised to divide the company basically by shares/points/option. We each got 1 point for each month we were with t

    I don't know what's normal now but a long time ago, 1997, I moved with a complex with 300 garages each with a remote. I opened the remote to change the battery and noticed only 8 switches for the code. 256 codes, 300 garages, drov

    1. Make it cross platform Swift is useless to me if I have to re-write code on other platforms. In such cases I will always use as little as possible and then switch to some other portable language for the meat of my code.

    That really spends on the movie. I don't feel like Ratatouille is really a kids movie nor is The Incredibles. I'd even argue Toy Story and Toy Story 2 are pretty adult. I could certainly relate to Woody's feeling scared of th

    You might find it interesting that crème de cassis is the top mixer in Japan. Nearly every bar and drinking place serves crème de cassis and orange juice as well as crème de cassis and oolong tea. Both are great and I'm a little surpr

    There's many kinds of ramen. Pork is one of the most common. There's chicken ramen. There's salt ramen. There's soy sauce ramen. There's miso ramen. And there's every combination. Soy+Miso+Chicken, Chicken+Pork
