Curious what people think about the ethics of this study? The researchers describe running an experiment on the public without opt-in consent. They also describe allowing an algorithm to do the editing. That raises questions about the kind

Typing can certainly be more productive. However, it can also be error prone. You might checkout Blockly (the lower level language used to implement the current version of Scratch). A lot of the stuff we type out in code is syntax and templ

Wii actually had a web browser and JavaScript API for the Wiimote controller. This comment made me remember a basic website I made for it back in the day. It was cool to use the Wiimote to interact with the page! The web games didn’t really

What motivated the choice of AGPL license? OpenDroneMap has dependencies on GDAL, Proj4J, GeoPackage, SciPy, Python, Nginx, and Django, among other packages. Those foundational libraries tend to have more permissive licenses (PSF, MIT, BSD

Are maps created by the OpenDroneMap community catalogued anywhere? I may have missed the obvious answer, but only found docs about creating maps (which is, of course, extremely cool!).

One thing to do is to show your estimates as distribution curves instead of averages. It can be helpful to choose estimates from a Fibonacci scale. Set the pessimistic estimate high enough that it’ll rarely be missed. Edit: I change the uni

Really nice site. Works great on mobile. Assuming the jobs are a json array, it would be cool to add a simple text filter box to the job list.

People who aren’t software engineers don’t really care about exotic language features. They care more about packages, developer experience, documentation, tutorials, and how difficult it is to share code with teammates.

Python had PyPI and scientific packages. It’s an attractive language for people who want to integrate existing packages into a solution instead of creating everything from scratch. Poorly written software that correctly implements science&#

My goal was to illustrate the arc, from indie bootstrap to AAA success. I don’t recall Chair as a AAA studio in 2010. The development of PUBG, which began as a mod of another game, might be a better example. I did messed up here by mixing c

Yes, and you’ve made me wonder if I may be mixing up bit of Free and Long Tail. I’ve read and recommend both.

Here’s what a Long Tail business model looks like in video games: Start working on an indie game. Along the way, record Unity tutorials to begin building an audience. Post some texture packs to the Unity asset store, then some level packs,

Edit: I’ve double checked & I was thinking of “Free” (2009), not “Long Tail” (2006). Thank you Ghaff for pointing that out. “Free” is based on the idea of selling by products or unedited work at lower prices and moving up market. My com

One possible explanation… Patents go to the first to file. The prior art search focuses on prior patents. Patent examiners can’t consider something prior art until they know about it. It is possible to invalidate a patent after the fact in

Valid point. There are certainly negative scenarios and those need to be considered seriously. I was born in a “conservative state”. For me, it wouldn’t be cultural colonialism but, rather, moving home. For my cousins and friends who are ju
