The problem with Socialism is the requirement for others to forcibly partake in it, otherwise it doesn't work. It's not just about forcing everyone to pay higher taxes, at its core it's about rewarding everyone equally, despi

I think this is related to how games are increasingly live services, therefore approximating the product development of web and as a result adopting some of the practices of that industry. Even for offline single player games, 'early a

Arguably the tech at the time did not allow Mark Twain to be properly captured at all, so even the original contains imperfections that distort the image. A high res AI version that restores it based on statistical training is still better

AI could do a 1080p with sharp details. Someone just needs to process the frames, and use something like DALL-E or stable diffusion with the right settings.

Looks really cool. I've been wondering why these kinds of mechanics aren't in more games. Of course it's probably harder to design and implement than "hardcoded" mechanics, but I could see action RPGs have a system

I can see this for Haskell. It probably ends up looking like a math exercise problem.

Are online user revolutions a thing? I can see this happening if the future continues on a dystopian path. Maybe users would organize and threatened to leave or have a change of power structure. Our online accounts are increasingly becoming

That doesn't sound right. It seems culture determines how people choose their leaders. When the culture changes, different people rise to power, not the other way around. At least for democratically elected leaders.

It's just a label at this point, and it really means technical product owner. I'd be ok with an engineering license, because maybe then it would be clear what kind of tasks engineers should be engaging in.

In my experience the software industry does not optimize engineering roles based on technical metrics. Getting promoted rarely involves demonstrating how you have grown technically. Instead it's about how well you communicate to the te

I was speaking a little more abstractly. For 2D, even if you use an intermediate coordinate system, the transformation between the two can be mapped 1:1 with the controller (in theory, not that you need to), because controllers are 2D in de

Employer is an ironically sinister way of putting. Given their infamy with brutality, I can't imagine how the "employees" are treated.

Would you rather have cartels or prisons?

I think the difference is that 3D is inherently continuous (because it is simulating a 3d space) and requires another layer of abstraction on top of the controllers to work intuitively. 2D on the other hand is pixel based which is usually d

I would think the roadmap is fully owned by managers just like the code is fully owned by engineers. Do we ask the product owners to be aware of the code the engineers are writing, just in case there are inconsistencies with their specifica

Unfortunately that is a common expectation for any engineer higher than junior level. It's a strange attempt to get engineers to own vertical slices of the company, as if they were managing their own business within the business. The p

Yes, it's all art and entertainment, and every medium has products for every age group and target audience. Somehow many people still hold the notion that games are for kids, or at least not for adults, when there are movies for kids,

Whatever works for you. It is possible to play a few hours every other day though. I'm 60 ours into BG3 and play 2-3 hours every few days. Binge consuming anything is not ideal, although of course it's fun.

Sure, then there is a distinction between criminal suspects and poor people, which means those mostly affected by the bonds are poor people who are also criminal suspects. The question is then are the majority of those criminal suspects gui
