I'm sure you put a ton of work into this, so it's really unfortunate that I can barely tell what this really does or why we should care. Also the "Ready to go pro?" thing seems very rushed and presumptuous. Like, I'

This is a valid question, idk why you're being downvoted. You're thinking of SolarCity which was bought by Tesla. There were promises of these kinds of solar cells that I was excited about. Not sure what ever happened to them.

My credit rating is now excellent, but at one point was so bad it was impossible to get credit. Only Affirm would extend me credit. They helped me rebuild my score when nobody else would. Hearing this news is saddening, hope they make it th

I wish this was flamebait hyperbole that I could downvote, especially as an ex-employee, yet here I am now avoiding Google as much as possible. Transitioning to providers like Fastmail and my own home cloud; even switching to Kagi for searc

They probably launched this for free as marketing to increase visibility into their startup! Enjoy it while it lasts before the service is paywalled Note I've been using Kagi happily for several months and it has successfully replaced

I've had this with another company, Intuit I believe. Someone used it to issue an invoice to me disguised as a bill from Intuit itself. It took me a solid 10 minutes of investigating before finally realizing what it was. Closest I&#x27

You're thinking this in a very capitalist way which seems completely unrelated to these two gentlemen. These guys are now profiting off the game out of necessity, not because they're finally "cashing in" on all their &qu

You might applying very specific kinds of business mentality to incompatible verticals. Not everyone has "career growth" desires or expectations, or if they do, it is in very different ways. I don't think people go into the m

You're right, there is a lot to admire! It seems a key issue is that he often speaks in terms of what others should or should not do, rather than inviting others to see what has worked for him. Objectivity versus subjectivity. What mak

No I think you're right and that I was mistaken. The only navmesh implementations I've seen do not use Astar, with Astar only being used in grid structures. But now I see that was a coincidence.

I just got into the weeds of this for a hobby game I'm working on. What I've learned is that A* is largely deprecated these days. Modern games mostly use "navigation meshes" for "any angle" pathfinding to addre

I agree with this and would add (perhaps partially and naively in the hopes of some Disney executive seeing this) that I feel very little excitement at the idea of watching any more super hero / jedi movies anymore. Somehow the brandin

I think the economics of it is basically like, Disney spends so much on creating content that Disney+ just doesn't bring in enough money to cover cost, because users get a subscription to binge / burn thru several things in a sing

I've been using Unity for a few months now and what is most frustrating is how lazy and unprofessional the company presents itself. They basically found that the Asset Store is such a huge source of revenue for them that they now compl
