If at any point you had the motivation to write a quick post or comment detailing your Vulkan recommendations for beginners, I and many others would definitely appreciate it. I've been bitten by exactly the issues you mentioned, and ha

Right, this is the neoliberal slogan, “the market will sort the problems out”, we vote by choosing who we do business with, and so on. The problem is, this often doesn't happen. The employee being paid too little (or working too long,

I disagree! You see this argument repeated around a lot: “well, the employee accepted this job, so since it's their choice, there's no injustice, they can always decide to go somewhere else!”. I think this is missing the point. Do

You seem to be stating, with the authority of a highly experienced subject matter expert ("the reality is…"), that disclosing salaries will cause employees to act "irrationally" and "get the entire business derailed

It's obviously difficult to sum it up, but there are two main factors that come to mind. The first is the economic situation you mentioned, along with the fatigue that comes with the feeling of working a lot but still not being able to

I'm from Bucharest, and I've always felt like, if you ask Romanians whether they're happy to be Romanian, most will reply in the negative, and describe being born in Romania as a misfortune. There's a popular song from a

I don't know if string handling has been improved, but it's one of the few things stopping me from using Zig. I look forward to 1.0, which will hopefully have proper strings. [0] [0]: https://github.com/ziglang&#x2

I'm all for simple technology, and I use wired headphones. However, I can also understand that people like their wireless headphones, they like noise cancellation and so on. I think it's fine to increase complexity when it's

Fair enough, that makes sense, maybe it's just my being allergic to legal combativeness.

I find it repulsive that his first recommendation to “inventors” is to file for a patent. Really, the most valuable piece of advice you have is “make sure you secure legal protection in case other people rip you off”? By all means, that&#x2

Has anyone benchmarked Go's garbage collector lately? I like a lot of stuff about Go, but a lot of my work is in video games and real time audio, and I am extremely hesitant to use a garbage collected language for those things.

I would love it if we could get such clear-cut results from the numbers, and just be able to say “this strategy is good, if we do that everything will be fine” (not saying you're saying that), but I really don't think that's

It's a low-level, non-garbage-collected language, which is what you need for game development. There are currently very few alternatives in this space. Simple as that.

The point is not that extremely small living spaces, which you flatteringly describe as “economical”, are intrinsically bad. The issue here is the imbalance of power. I can say with near certainty that very few of the students who would be
