Thanks a lot for sharing. I love your approach for smaller games with faster cadence, and that it worked as full time job. I know the market is tough, but I hope you can make it work as long as you want.

Not telling my friends that I love them. I was 28 the first time a friend told me "I love you" in a pure friendship way (and while sober), and without being a part of a special situation. I've also done it afterwards, and bec

That's still $20k above what they have to pay for the right of usage of the library. What donation amount above would you consider reasonable? Or how would you budget Spotify's donation accross all open source projects that they u

I acknowledge I stretched a bit your comment. I meant it as a way to try to find the line on what's OK with these new AIs rather than ill-intended O:) Regarding your point, I wonder how different is it to break the "terms of use&q

Why is it fair use if you train a model on copyrighted material and use its transformative output, despite going against the will of the author? Can we all legally pirate educational books since it's for self training and producing tra

"Everything has a value". Earlier this year I was drunk at a bar, using the urinal while staring at the wall in front of me, which was full of stickers and scribbles. Then I saw this message, written by who knows who, and it reall

When they launched Overwatch 2, you couldn't play if you tried to verify your account with a prepaid phone. This was problematic since they closed Overwatch 1 servers (it's a paid, online only game) for Overwatch 2, a free to play

I can't find the source now, but i recall reading that if you're obese by the time you turn 18, there's very low chances that you'll ever go down in the rest of your lifetime. It's not impossible, but really tough.

I wonder if having a swarm of people buy these items, then returning them since they clearly don't match the expected result from the description, would hurt the sellers enough so they would stop doing this sort of scam.

SFML can export to Android, but to me the biggest drawback is lack of Web export. In the current gamedev scene, web export is super popular for tiny games (specially for game jams, where it's just more convenience and also secure to sh

I think about these kind of activities and their motivations a lot. Money is too valuable and rewarding that many people will constantly chase these hustle practices no matter the ethical implications or if they are shady. Even more so if t

I hope for regulations to protect consumers by not allowing to advertise this as a "buying action" if you later have to through the entire lengthy terms and services to figure out that they are not really selling this to you, but

I really thought that Spotify Duo allows 2 people to keep their respective accounts, just that one person pays for both. Are you sure about the one device restriction? I can't find it anywhere.

The 10x delta exists. You just have to compare the L5 engineer from the lowest paying region with the L5 from the highest paying one. And for the same effort and output.
