That all sounds good. Maybe you personally can make it work. In reality, for most people it's a cycle of buying new big hardware (consoles, desktop, laptop) every few years, using them very sporadically and then turning them to e-waste

Headless CMSes are great for when you want to consume the managed content on multiple clients. For example, if you have a bunch of the editorial stuff that you want to present on both an app and websites. We even use the headless CMS for ma

That sounds like a nightmare. I'm glad you got out. It's so sad to hear these stories. Game development has such great potential to be a stimulating workplace in the mix of tech, storytelling and art. On paper it is a fantastic bl

You sure make a lot of absolute claims. How do you arrive at that conclusion?

Nowadays it seems that "trolls are free outrage fuel" is more apt. How else would we power our tribalism generators?

When it comes to compulsive gambling, the monetary risk is an integral part. People who suffer from it get their fix not by winning but by putting things on the line. This is why gambling is almost universally regulated, and yahtzee is not.

Sounds like you have an interesting perspective. Was there any specific events that led to you changing your opinion? What do you think about the future of the games industry?

So you would equate a digital blackjack game without real money involved to actual casino blackjack? I don't know if it's an expression in english, but it seems to be a case of "degrees in hell". Contributing to video g

I'm not sure that the drone has an uplink. If not, it would have to relay images to the rover over a 200kbps zigbee connection for transmission. Unlikely to be video in that case, more reasonably highly delayed still frames. Would be m

As others have pointed out, this is a good illustration of why you need accurate data during development. I bet that the data set used during development was dirty with duplicates and way too small. It was faster and more convenient to just

Thanks! Seems like I've misunderstood the concept a bit. My apologies.

AFAIK a fat binary is just a binary with all dependencies included. It would still be compiled for a specific platform. The magic part about this is that it's a single file compiled once that can be run on most platforms. And it also a

Having only been to the US a few times I'm floored by this. You mean to tell me that there are actual printed ads in public places for _fighter planes_? I can sort of understand the rationale in DC, but it just seems surreal to me. Tho

You call your resident "cloud team" or "infrastructure team" for help. Unfortunately, those guys are busy having an existential crisis looking into the abyss of machines, queues, cache layers and databases that are suppo

If a large company is not updating their site very often, then you do not have a great value proposition anyway. Your core product is ease of updating/editing and customization, no? Makes sense to charge based on that aspect. Of course

If you could use heuristics to discard automation such as search engine indexing and open graph lookups, then the limit is probably fine. I'm not sure I'm a fan of the pricing model in general though. If I were you, I'd look

When it comes to the per-visit limits, what exactly counts as a visit? Being crawled and indexed can quickly consume hits if they are simply renderings of the page. Even the business tier seems really limited if that is the case. Especially

If the causality is correct, then this "new" reality is already here. Hence, adaptation is too currently happening. Big policy changes to curb plastic use is only a favor for our grandkids.

Shorter attention spans, more lethargy, lower overall intelligence. You could point at a number of cultural and political developments over the last decades and argue that these neurochemical changes could be a contributing factor. However,

I might be crazy, but for me it's faster and more convenient to download and run Etcher than to read up on dd command arguments and device paths. Storage space is plentiful for me. RAM isn't an issue as it's only run once in

It feels like these NFT evangelists are shooting themselves in the foot by using "paintings" as an example. I don't know why that is the go-to example. It's so outlandish to most people since digital images are the poste

Perhaps I'm a total boomer, but I just can't imagine feeling that way about an "original" JPEG. A signed baseball card is truly unique, and the signature is an almost (albeit weak) physical connection with the signee. I

Can you not run out of sockets though? I know it used to be a thing anyway. Maybe it's handled somehow nowadays.

Thank you for an amazing piece of software that I use daily! I got a question I've been wondering about. When I first encountered VLC, most other popular media players had very embellished UIs with tons of chrome and bitmaps everywher

"Personium" sounds like a valuable ore that can be mined for great profit. Not the best association given the subject at hand.

The Winamp (classic) skinning was so brutally effective, considering how simple they were. AFAIK the bulk of the skin consisted of two or three .bmp-files which were spritesheet for all controls and fonts. Literally anyone could make one wi

I agree! A lot of code editors are using them in a nice way to display version control info or errors/warnings. Chrome is using it to a small extent when searching using Ctrl-F, showing where in the page the results are. In both cases
