Meta is an aspect of strategy, but the terms aren't interchangeable.

I developed it with a Vive and WMR headsets. It should work on Oculus with the right setup, but I haven't tested that.

In my opinion the rules about requiring or forbidding parentheses are fairly arbitrary. Sometimes it's really nice to fit three panes of code on a single laptop screen. Long lines can also indicate a code smell. It's ironic that o

I've had a few vacations turn into work trips. It's really easy (at least for me) to work a lot in the morning and spend the late afternoon at the beach, park, or museum. If all you need is a laptop and internet then there's

The quote I provided shows that the authors want other people to study the US or other countries to see if the results apply in a general manner. The paper in no way attempts to generalize the US other than that large companies typically tr

You're beginning to sound like a conspiracy nut. The paper is very upfront that more studies should be done in other countries: "the data necessary for the analysis, such as paygrades, demographics and manager assignments, are pro

The study was very upfront about the limitations. A better analogy would be someone trying to debunk the theory of relativity by claiming it doesn't cover perpetual motion machines.

Are you suggesting that one player could win by running out the clock? Classical gives players 30 more seconds after each move so it becomes unlikely to run out the clock.

I'm not following the benefit of excluding code in the first place. Your method seems like more work, more error prone, and more likely to leave unintended gaps in coverage.

by nimblegorilla 7y ago
Seems like 50% coverage is better than 0% coverage and 75% coverage is better than 50% coverage. The author argues about the horrors of going from 80% to 79.9%, but I don't see how that is any different from the suggestion to explicitl

Dude... I have and am using asset packs. If your design schtick is looking as cheap as possible then it's not very hard to get what you need.

Everyone already acknowledges the current art has no consistent direction. It makes no sense to pay extra money for bespoke artwork that looks worse than what you can get by just going to what's already available.

It's faux intellectualism masquerading as intellectual diversity. Calling it diversity is like saying Subway has a diverse menu. Sure you can get ham, turkey, bacon, or meatballs on 6 different kinds of bread, but at the end of the day
