Well this sucks. I bought a Chevy Blazer last year, and it’s the best car I’ve ever owned. Great balance of design, gas mileage, comfort, etc. I was definitely planning to make my next car the EV version of this. Part of that package is fla

I think it’s the latter. Because, as you point out with low poly models, there’s so much that goes into the fidelity of a game beyond just output resolution - there’s polygon count on the models, resolution of the textures applied to those

I feel like Spotify going after big celebrities like the Obamas is a bit tone deaf specifically with regards to the podcasting audience. At least anecdotally speaking, my experience is the podcasting audience largely seems to seek out fresh

I’m beginning to dislike this anthropomorphization of AI, and tech in general. I feel like it’s contributing to a further misunderstanding of what it actually is and how best to use it or think of it.

It’s really unfortunate that the author started with the most controversial of rules, because I find much of the rest of the article to be quite the helpful summary. Particularly padding and margins - I’ve only recently taken the time to st

The owners are both engineers, primarily back end, while I do both front and back end. I suspect they are partially motivated (as other commenters suggested) by not changing too much of what they themselves built personally. Partially out o

Very encouraging to hear!

Thanks for the advice! I looked it up, and https://interviewing.io/ is indeed the place. That sounds like exactly the kind of thing I need to gain some confidence. I’m sorry for what you’ve been through as well. I can relat

That’s a fair question. I honestly haven’t “fought” for my projects probably as much as I should. Some of this is a result to how their criticisms are shared. Often, they will initially softly praise my efforts (“that’s a good idea, but we

Thank you for sharing. I can relate. This is my first “real” full time job, and I’ve now been there 10 years with little to show for it, and not for lack of trying. Software engineer for a small company, report directly to the owners. Repea

To me, the paradigm only works if both sides are labeled in both states. Light [* ] Dark This is essentially how a physical switch would be labeled, and is the best way to prevent ambiguity - the current state is the label that the

Sure… I read that. The instructions do a great job of explaining a few cases of what is definitely a digital asset, and they explain what you and I both know are obviously included. The instructions “include” a few obvious things. They don’

Maybe a dumb question, but how does or doesn’t this apply if you have played virtually any modern multiplayer video game in which you receive digital assets from loot boxes, or from buying cosmetics? “Digital asset” seems like a VERY broad

Thank you for the informative reply - I stand completely corrected. I can definitely see now why this would be problematic.

So many comments here and I’m still struggling to see why this is so noteworthy.

I’m as anti-Electron as the next person, but my arguments against it are due to the bloat and disrespectful resource usage of using an entire web browser to show local app UI. But if what you need is an actual, literal web browser, then I’m

First I’ve heard of your game is via this comment, and as a fan of old Windows 95 / DOS games, this looks great! I’m eager to buy it once I’m able to load up some Steam credits. I’ve been down your road before, and it sucks, but ultima

So requiring people accept Google or Apple’s terms and conditions and being forced to own and use one of their products, on a whim, during a crisis, is less egregious than doing so long term? “That ship has sailed” essentially means that it

As someone from the US state of Michigan that has at least two competing demonyms, I actually find the idea of everyone using a different form based on preference to be charming.

As an added bonus, many have an array of color options, which makes it easy to change the lights to suit Halloween, Easter, Independence Day, or any other holiday you want your house to observe.

I’m definitely going to try this out on a personal project soon. I had forgotten about Imba. I recall trying it a few years ago, and I loved it, with the exception that it wasn’t capable of doing something that I considered rather crucial a

I’m very sorry to read this. I went through some similar times with my mom after a stroke. Exercise, seeing people, and helping her feel useful helped a lot with the symptoms, but convincing her to do these things wasn’t always easy. My mom

Just purchased - I loved the Game Engine Black Book Doom, and as someone who's always been fascinated with the CPS-1 and CPS-2 and the arcade scene that I just missed as a kid, this is even more up my alley!

This feels like the equivalent to the busywork example in the article. Instead of sweeping the already clean floors just to appear busy, we're scurrying to show frequent progress towards the impetuous goals set from the previous demo,

Additionally, it seems to be a stark contrast to Twitter, which seemed to favor pitting people of opposing ideas against each other to increase engagement. It felt designed to create a powder keg. This seems to solve two problems -- #1, the

Doesn’t a hot job market and social safety net equally provide workers freedom to choose an alternative to the supposedly exploitative gig without regulation? Generally, if a job market is hot, it means employers are incentivized to not be

What's crazy to me is that the NBA is banning a specific shade of cream from one team, on the basis that it may interfere with court keying in some locations, when several possible solutions are proposed in the article. But then the NH

This license, and alternatively the JetBrains licenses, are awesome. I will always try to support them! Being given the freedom to install this on whatever computers I own, regardless of OS*, for one very reasonable fee, is amazing compared
