A lot of modern games that offer convenience features like GPS navigation in GTA or the quest markers in Skyrim. I prefer playing GTA with the GPS turned off because it forces me to actually learn the lay of the land.

Intro to computer science freshman year of high school in 2004 was still using turbo pascal and it was great. Dropping into BGI graphics mode was a great beginner friendly way to draw shapes and make some cool things. It's what got m

Does this effect 2FA auth at all? Will I need to remove all existing authenticators to accounts and then reenable after the factory reset?

Yes, Naughty Dog's internal scripting language has always been their own Lisp flavor and I imagine that they use the same scripting language to define game data.

I'm totally capable of having interesting conversations with strangers thank you very much, but Uber rides almost inevitably lead to one of 4 out 5 topics with rare exceptions. Frankly I'd pay extra for an option to say "I p

I commute via Uber so the idea of having to talk every time is awful. Plus after a while every Uber conversation is exactly the same.

I ultimately cancelled Blue Apron because the recipes as written were awfully bland. I also found the prep times listed on the recipes to be absolute fabrications. I felt like I could make simpler meals with less prep and cook time that t

I finally switched to Chrome from Firefox just last week. I just couldn't take the hang ups anymore. Here I am with an absurdly beefy game development workstation and it's hitching switching tabs and scrolling pages. Absolutely

Tone down the condescension. Obviously zoos and aquariums can do great work but there are animals in this world that do not live in captivity very well and if they were capable of properly weighing the options I'm sure many would choos

Right and my assertion is that because the whales are incapable of understanding their "sacrifice" for their species they are simply kept in a state of anxiety, trapped in a too small enclosure for the remainder of their days and

In what universe can you possibly explain to an anxious, confined whale that their non-ideal living conditions (read: conditions which kill them) is at least beneficial to their species? How does this make the practice any less cruel? Readi

Quick, someone explain this to the whales! Give me a break.

Based on my discussions with other game programmers over the years, I can conclude that it is not an uncommon story.

Everywhere I've ever worked has been strictly (and almost religiously) a Maya shop. It's more than likely inertia since your content creators are almost always completely slammed and making them change up their workflows just isn

Unrelated but I felt compelled to share a similar sentiment: > It was the worst while I was in school, since teachers and professors just thought, "oh, he's unmotivated" when in reality it was more along the lines of, &quo

Also you can keep a "queue" of tasks along the bottom/side of the monitor or maybe it ends up representing some sort of pipeline and before you know it you have your own personal kanban setup.

I've heard a Trump presidency described as a "productive apocalypse" which honestly I wish we could have avoided entirely but maybe just maybe we'll get some progress out of it in certain areas in the end.

Yeah my mom has been in marketing analytics for the last couple of decades and given some of the spreadsheets, tables and graphs I've seen her work on I'm skeptical of anything coming close to replacing Office any time soon. Outs

To add to your argument because I agree with you quite a bit: A post-it stuck on the side of one's monitor seems vastly superior to any sort of app based reminder. It helps that creating the post-it and sticking it somewhere is itself

If the only moral quandary you see with Minority Report is that they do the arrests before the crimes happen then I sincerely hope you're never in a position to guide public policy on anything really.

The thing is that even in rural areas the logistics of autonomous cars allow you to get away with just one for an entire family. The fact that the car can come back home and pick someone else up later means that even if there are still peo

Well I certainly care if my commute gets longer regardless of how I'm commuting because there's a lot of things I can't do with my time while I'm commuting.

It became very difficult to override the position of the pin after the GPS decided it just had to know where I was instead of me. Also the tracking you for 5 minutes after a ride is completely unforgivable.

Fully autonomous fleets of cars will push societal changes we can't yet predict. Right now everyone shows up to work at about the same time. Is that a fixed position society will always uphold? I don't know, there's a lot
