You can't bench your finished game before it exists and you don't really want to rock the boat late in dev, either. It was a fundamentally sound default that they revisited. Then they blogged about the relatively surprising diffe

In so far as comparing levels of complexity, you're correct. But that's not the salient part of the the parent comment. A tool with a vaguely defined goals and no stakeholders is easier to make than a tool that must meet certain

Issue isn't about game devs it's about non-game devs backseat programming. If you spend a week in these engines you're well aware of the garbage collector.

It seems contradictory to move to new and rare technologies with clear customer outcomes. Would it be wrong to say the advice is to hype chase, lean into new stuff and bail quickly when it's not working out? They hand wave away hype c

I mean, we have had the tech to crank out some little app for a long time. The point of the Saas used to be that you had a neck to strangle when things went south. I guess these days that's just impossible anyhow and the prices aren&

Looking at the comment, I would argue that it's fairly vague. Maybe it's clear if you have done it but not clear to others type thing. Then you undercut the advice by adding "I've always wondered if <confident suggest

I haven't seen your original comment but "It could work if they did it better" is in general a low value comment.

Ehhhh.... Is an AI driven feed not UI changes? Those are incredibly successful but the buttons change every refresh. UIs do not need to be static. The key is that there is a coherent pattern to what's changing. When you look at it th

I'm not sure any realistic definition of free market would mean your actions are free from consequence. The global market is anarchy in the literal sense and no one is bound by a higher authority. Coercion and cartels are part of a fr

Isn't "process improvement" just solving other people's problems? Seems like it got hand waived by but it's the crux of the situation, no?

You could always make cinema quality environments in a traditional pipeline and render the splats offline for later realtime consumption.

> What is more convincing is when someone invests heavily (and is involved heavily) and then decides to stop sending good money after bad (in their estimation). But Watson doesn't count?

You expect somebody to be heavily invested currently and also completely openly pessimistic about it?

Ironically, servers should be the most disposable and easily to replace from scratch after a bad upgrade but the world is a silly place.

C# works like this as well, no? In fact C# can (will?) run the async function on the calling thread until a yield is hit.

by jayd16 11mo ago
Actually it seems like they just colored everything async and you pick whether you have worker threads or not. I do wonder if there's more magic to it than that because it's not like that isn't trivially possible in other lan

Why have managers and reviews and non-automated promotions and security groups if you trusted them enough to hire them... Well because obviously that trust only goes so far.

You're comparing a subset of passionate users that was supplementing in-person collaboration with the general population and no in-person. It's not going to be as good as the self selected users.

If something hits a wall and then takes a trillion dollars to move forward but it does move forward, I'm not sure I'd say it was just bluster.

Can I get this in an ant-farm mode where I can see them doddle around a cube-farm office?

by jayd16 11mo ago
If true, then the question of "who pays for this race" is even stronger, no?
776.
by jayd16 11mo ago
Who pays for it? It would be pretty funny to try to borrow from China... So even if its just a jobs program with a neat outcome, we'd have to deal with tax reform first, I'd imagine.

There was an era of mobile chips where they would clock very high for burst performance and get very warm, then throttle, and then repeat the cycle. It might be an issue of not properly getting into "sustained performance mode."

Hell, if the connection timeouts are long enough and you're waiting for some pooled DB connection, you could run out of ports even if your throughput was high enough. There are actually a lot of little things to tune if you can't

I don't think people generally turn off their phones so it would be interesting to learn exactly what the difference was.
