I credit Blender for starting my career as a software engineer. I had programmed a little before starting to use Blender, but never really got into it past making some silly text-based adventure games and the likes. In the latter half of th

I hope raytracing will enable some remasters of amazing old games. No need for new content, changing the stories or gameplay, just vastly improved graphics. I always preferred the Quake series for multiplayer, but Half-Life was great single

Hey, thanks for the link! It seems odd to structure things this way but looking through that thread you linked to it seems they opted for simplicity. Not sure why this is simpler than 15% on the margin though.

Being an alumni of a particular institution might in itself provide value though. It doesn't now obviously – it's too young – but over time if it turns out this organization produces quality devs then employers may very well use

Is it 15% of everything above $40k or does it include the $40k as well?

I’ve had much better success with online retailers’ chat boxes than trying to get someone on the phone, whenever I’ve had an issue with an order or shipment. That’s the only useful use case I’ve seen.

My point with mentioning Plan 9 was that even with luminaries such as Rob Pike, success is not guaranteed. Having a huge organization backing you doesn’t hurt. (Ok, granted, plan 9 had bell labs but I posit a research arm is altogether diff

Some other things I do with sublime that might be quirky: - My font size is 22 or 24 points. Not because I'm blind, but because it forces me to not type lines too long, or files too big. It keeps my code concise and to the point. Also

I really don't understand what all these fancy features are that are so necessary. I use a stock sublime install, with a couple of syntax plugins and the material theme because I think it looks pleasing. That's it. It's super

I've never been much of a fan of Porsche interiors, but Mercedes have always felt quite intuitive to me, and very comfortable seating. I quite like the central wheel thing they've had forever, more so than the new touch pad thing

Agreed. I was interested in Tesla before I took one for a test drive. It handled fine and it was nice to drive, but the interior really felt lacking for such an expensive vehicle. Drop the same for a Mercedes and you'll have a very c
