I mean maybe, but it's just as the person you replied to said: Lot of us grew up playing videogames with all of our free time. We are adults now. People in our age bracket who watch Twitch video game streams often probably do so to rep

Your post's content is the crux of the problem from my POV. The powers that be and the bodies that make decisions about the legality of substances and scheduling of them seem much more interested in general profit and preventing the av

I've heard it causes pretty significant constipation in some cases. I guess that's undesirable.

That's so awesome. Thanks for the exchange you two had. I love seeing the technology permeate through it's different causeways to become a useful and tangible product for more and more people. It's a thing of beauty to watch

MY GOD that is painful to take in. I feel for you :( . I've shed a tear for a fellow programmer in the thick of the "shit".

True, you are right and I've never thought of it that way. We all have our strengths and weaknesses and surely without everyone being "classified" as something we are all incapable or terrible at doing certain things while we

For lack of another comparison it reminds me of dirty cops pulling over a suspected criminal or known criminal and acting like they are doing the person a favor by taking all of their drugs, money, and loose possessions. It's a fucked

I would assume a lot of recruiter-types or folks just getting their feet wet into programming would assume C++ is just a newer or more powerful "Edition" / "Version" of C.

I was thinking how awesome it is when developers think of all sorts of players from the very start by ensuring that their entire game, game system, and controller systems are configured for full customization from the start. It's somet

The only thing I can surmise is that they either just want no part of competing in the music arena (there are definitely folks within Google that want to, are working to compete, and probably have made some great things to boot) but it defi

It's not in their favor to find you an ideal, direct hire / non-contract gig. There is no chance for future money from a client if they find you your perfect fit / long term career type job. Not to mention most of the one&#x2
