He's not talking about rejections from recruiters... he's talking about getting too many crappy recruitment mails. I get about 5 mails per week pimping some junior job to me that would probably pay 40% less than my current job. I don't repl

> so would math and chemistry Anecdotal evidence here: I'm pretty good at math, but failed several chemistry exams in high scool. I just didn't "get" it. Maybe I would be able now, because I'm better at thinking abstractly and systemati

That probably only applies to single player games. You can compare single player games to movies: you can't "lose" in a movie. Multi-player games are more like sports, in which case losing has a different meaning.

As soon as you're doing anything beyond CRUD on a database, you will probably have to worry about them. Unless Erlang blablabla...

I'm not sure. Is there not a big difference between someone competent enough to copy-and-paste and integrate javascript snippets, and someone who can write decent javascript code? And unfortunately, the difference incrases as you go. For in

Congratulations! Do you have any idea of people might be simply stealing the code? Any way to prevent that (I guess not)?

What do you mean by "hackable price"? One can easily download the source code of course... He did wrap it in a frame or something to make it somewhat nontrivial.

I'd think CSS sprited PNGs are much preferred over anigif, not just because of playback control but also because of non-shitty translucency.

I'm pretty sure you couldn't see which of your enemies were dead. Not sure about your own team. Did you ever play the AQ2 Single Player mod? We basically put a bunch of standard Q2 monsters at interesting locations on the AQ2 maps so you co

I don't think there's ever been an astronaut who did it for the paycheck. All of them would probably pay for the opportunity.

In my view there is nothing mundane about lifting people safely to orbit. For lifting cargo you might have a good point.

Mods like Action Quake 2 went even further, back in the day. Not only was there no respawning in a round, you were even not aware of who (allies & enemies) died during the round. So all you had to rely on was that which you heard or saw

Good example. I've just realized I saw something in my line of work too. One of our customers is planning to sell a premium version of their product that has their logo removed.

That's not very different from stock with a vesting point, right? Except the amount you gain is predetermined.

The original Mali tech was developed by a startup in Norway (Phalanx, or something) and purchased by ARM somewhere in 2006 IIRC. The product benchmarking on the original Mali happened at the office where I worked. I remember being pretty ja

Love trailers, hate advertisements. I can't help but think that showign trailers must be much more economical than advertisements. During ordinary advertisements I just shut my brain down, but when I see a trailer I like, I will almost ce
