Agree, I saw a startup where I worked go down because of too much money. They had a very good seed round and raised $2M. They used this to develop their first product, which did really well. After 2 years we had 50 employees and were breaki

Its not discrediting, its asking for proof. There are some very harsh accusations here. And if there is one thing that I learned about the Internet, that its full with trolls. Just look at some Reddit dramas on what lengths people will go t

I don't think so. I use Spotify a lot on the go, and YouTube is not suited for that. (can it even play stuff if your screen is locked?) Also Google doesn't want to cannibalize their own Play Music sales.

I think Spotify will die in 5-10 years, but not because of royalty fee woes. We will not go back to the "buy a song for $1" model of the early 2000s. But it will die because of the moonopolistic and anti-competitive practices of t

I dontknow, what are you trying to prove? Its a fact that from the new, low-level APIs (Vulkan, Metal, DX 12) Vulkan has the most widespread support: Vulkan: Its on most Windows PCs, most Linux PCs, on newer Android devices, and on the N

Then which vendors do you care about from the Microsoft ecosystem (which this thread is about)? Vulkan is supported by Nvidia, AMD and Intel, I think this covers >99% of the Windows landscape. Windows phone? or Xbox? Hololens?

and the next sentence goes "However, there are well defined mechanisms by which IHVs can ship a Vulkan driver on any version of Windows. But it will be as it is the case now with OpenGL. That is, it is up to the application to negotiat

lots of things: - Implementing OpenGL drivers is very complicated, this leads to huge drivers full of bugs and performance issues. Just look at something like this: https://dolphin-emu.org/blog/2013/09/26&#x2F

Why come up with a new API for this? Why not use the one supported by Google, and MS, Vulkan? We dont need another (a fourth!) API for the same thing. Introduce a web variant like Khronos with with WebGL (its almost like OpenGL ES, which

Not really, because slots and other casino games are much more deceiving. The whole thing is engineered so that you believe that you will win lots of money. But the reality is very different, this is how they must be built: - There is a sta

Then something is wrong with your hardware. My brother runs it on a 10 year old (!) laptop with 2GB RAM and an Intel Dual Core CPU (these were before Core 2 Duos) Windows runs okay, but scrolling lags like hell on more complex sites and you

You can do CD without releasing, its not pressing the release button that matters. CD means that you can press that button any time. Do small changes, test continuously, work on master. If you make small changes and test them (using aut

But if feature branches can live less than a day then why not get rid of them altogether? They are just extra bueurocracy that just slow you down.

If you release only a month or 2 you are doing something really wrong (or need to work based on some insane spec). Read the basics about CI and CD, read the clean code book, read about modern organisation practices (e.g. Github releases se

Long lived branches add complexity too, it's just hidden in GIT. The main issue with feature branches are merge conflicts: they are the most evil operation one can imagine. First you have your code, that you understand. Then you have o

Also this thing feels like a cheap knockoff. Whats with the shitty website (looks like a mobile only site on my desktop) and the low quality graphics/photos? Also isnt this supposed to be a Linux machine? Why does it have a Window

totally agree with the naming, 'container tabs' is bad. Also I dont like the separation, like having one for banking and one for personal stuff. Arent they the same? I'd have the following: personal: For personal banking, gma

Unit tests just make the mess a bit easier to solve, but are far from a perfect solution. Wanna move and rename a function? Do it, then spend hours fixing your 10 broken tests, writing new ones, and test you app for hours because unit test

I agree with you, but not fully. 1) Well, this is only a case if the project is short enough that its not worth switching. Learning a new tech for a team takes months, only switch if the project is taking years. 2) Again, only use them for

You are not doing agile. In a daily scrum you cannot have conversations, its just everyone stating 3 things: What I was working on yesterday, what I will do today, and whether I need help today from someone. For a team of 10 people (a large

IMO this is the price to pay for a dynamically typed language. 60K LOC is not much in a static language, you can use tools to refactor it easily or to visualize the control flow. But with a dynamically typed language? Its a nightmare. Yo

That means Chrome is a very important strategic asset for Google, perhaps their most important one that end users can run. Imagine there was no Chrome and say FF held 70% of the browser market share. They'd would hold Google by th

Why the downvotes? I just stated my opinion. I thought that this site was a little less childish than this.

I dont think that many websites will be made in webassembly. Its more made for full webapps and games. CSS/SVG is used for websites.

Also what about editors? In my experience writing graphics this way (via XML files) scares off 95% of the artists. Programmers can do it, but they make crap art. A designer who is good/interested enough in doing these is very rare.
