The latter is more likely than the former, and I’d suspect reconnaissance to add to that support. We’ve driven the west-coast corridor a bunch and contemplated several getting a different brand EV to go with our Tesla. Often seen/watc

I agree with your view point - however it’s hard to see any other outcome for the AAA franchises. Player expectations of a modern title are increasing - as are the time, human, and fiscal capital required to ship a modern title - years of e

This is a really great resource. I wrote a DNS Server in C# once upon a time, it was hard, I wouldn't suggest it to anyone unless the benefit weights up as $millions. I could have killed for a tool like this, instead I spent a tonne

Yes, it reminded me a lot of when I first started in computing. Today we are so abstracted from the horsepower that produces our experiences, to the extent that most Software Engineers don't actually know how their code works. Not sa

While preserving binary “playability” is important, the rapidly increasing longevity of titles and fighting bit-rot is an equally large challenge for both the game and software industry. A game is rarely just the binary execution itself, bu

hits tiny staple with enormous sledgehammer While it is possible to use ES as your primary store, doesn’t mean it is a great use-case. Pushing ES to durability takes resources (people, time, compute) and rigor. For a blog site this feel

My tier 3 team is on 1-week point-Dev rotations. Roughly 1wk in 9 on primary, same again on secondary. They take about 2-3 calls per primary+secondary. I’m on Tier 4 in mgmt roster, and on call every other week. Take escalations and fal

Person of the year should go to Amy Hood - she brought the divide under control by starving funding and driving consolidation. It’s hard to have internecine fights when you can’t afford the guns.
