Thank you for this. That first one in particular is probably exactly what I needed. I guess the one downside of having lots of documentation (and third party guides/tutorials) is that it may take some time to update when there are sign

As someone coming from Node who has only recently (with .NET 6) taken a good look at the ecosystem, it appears to me that there have been a lot of breaking changes to get where they are now. On one hand, I love that they’re trying to reduce

I agree that the seasonal storytelling is better but they have a very real problem with the game becoming Bounty Collector. They also have basically abandoned Crucible, which makes me think the new IP is where all their top PvP talent is cu

There was a run of excellence on the N64 (Goldeneye, Banjo Kazooie, Diddy Kong Racing, Jet Force Gemini, Perfect Dark) but Banjo Tooie and Donkey Kong 64, in retrospect, are very bloated games. As a kid, I loved them because there was more

That compatibility break between Windows Phone 7 and Windows Phone 8 was brutal to their momentum. I had multiple friends with Windows Phone 7 devices, and only one with an 8.

Every online course that requires you to use a public cloud to deploy something should first have you set up a billing alert that notifies you when costs start to creep past something reasonable, like $20 or $50 (depending on the course and

I’m someone who generally doesn’t enjoy dual booting. I realize this is my specific preference rather than practicality, but I like being able to context switch without a reboot. I also like that I can keep a lot of my development tools sep

Is it weird to have nostalgia for sitting in a download queue for patches to Half-Life and its mods on FilePlanet or FileShack?

I had a much more stable upbringing and family life than the author, but one area that I can relate to is being incredibly bored as a kid - most of my friends lived across major roads or outside of walking distance in suburbia. The internet

They pivoted to Hangouts to boost Google+ when they were chasing Facebook. This is also why they killed Google Reader. So much collateral damage with nothing to show for it.

Yes, it would definitely be an uphill battle. But I wonder if you could build a platform where a progressive web app felt enough like a mobile app and therefore enticed more app developers than requiring them to learn native tools for anoth

The nice thing about Game Pass is that after a game has been on the service for a number of months, you get a 20% discount if you choose to buy it. It's useful for instances where a game you want to keep playing is about to leave the s

Do they still use Java to teach object oriented to newbies? I remember being absolutely puzzled about all the boilerplate in my first coding class in high school. What do public, static, void, main, String[], and args all mean? The teacher

Yes, it's quite clearly this. Millennials have been out there for nearly a decade yelling on social media about how ridiculous their student loans are. Kids on the precipice of college have started paying attention. Combine that with t

I think the article begins to touch on it with autonomy and doing cool stuff, but one thing I believe should be called out is that engineers really like to learn new stuff. If you’re the type of business that has a use case for new technolo

People forget that Google had a perfectly good messaging service called Google Talk that lived inside Gmail (the biggest product besides the iPhone at that point), interoperated with XMPP and AIM back in 2007, and threw it all away in 2011

One of the most interested/underrated side effects of the pandemic is that it has forced a lot of people to become somewhat knowledgeable on things like camera quality/positioning, lighting, and sound/noise cancellation. I wa

The idea is that the teacher doesn't have to keep their eyes on a laptop screen and can mostly move about the classroom in the normal way that they would teach a lesson.

I don't fault any schools for struggling from March 2020 to June 2020, being thrown into the pandemic and remote learning with no warning. But I was absolutely astonished to see that most administrators took the summer of 2020 off, ass
