I absolutely love the idea! As a movie geek I'm personally offended when someone says "oh, it's from 2017, it's an old movie!", or "I don't want to see anything from 90s, yuck" - and that's prett

I see two distinct problems here: (1) false advertisement Companies like MS and Apple are telling their clients they offer a way to encrypt and secure their data but at best these claims are only half truths, mostly smoke and mirrors. This

Not an Googler, but my, probably way too much romanticized, understanding of Google was that they never ask you about specific tech because for everything there's an in-house version. The problem is that too many people drank too much

It is. Motivation is a whimsical thing. The fantastic element that explains the appeal of games to many developers is neither the fire-breathing monsters nor the milky-skinned, semi-clad sirens; it is the experience of carrying out a ta

Call me grumpy but 20 years ago we were making fun of smarty - a template engine made in a template engine - and now everything looks like a solution looking for a problem.

fun fact: last BigCo I worked in had an elaborate architecture/security bar for new applications/features but offered a clever workaround - you could use a pre-approved solution and skip numerous quality checks and approvals, so e

I'm not sure that's entirely true. I'm getting "bring your adventure" vibe, similar to The Witness. Take Thomas Was Alone for example - seemingly simple platform puzzle game with deep and engaging story where you&#x

I would go even further. For me design patterns are more of vocabulary than a tool. It's not about - hey I found this book and we'll be using these building block from now on - rather, it's about having words that everyone im

"Servant leadership" is not a buzzword but it's been misused and abused by Big Corporations to the point that it basically lost its meaning [1]. For me - personally - the idea is about being less of a boss and more of a night

Pretty immature to be honest. I won't stop taking the bus because I don't agree with its drivers political views.

Main benefit of Ryzen is that previously I was aiming for something like Atom or N300 for low power consumption - now, with Ryzen I have CPU with 10x computing power, powerful integrated GPU, that idles at 1W, and I can do serious gaming wi

Totally random rant. I have a lot to say. About lot of things. I don't blog because, most of the time, I'm worried about what people might think. Sometimes I speak up in public and people are confused, so - I think - it will only

Main problem with highly competitive games is that you can run them inside a container and have full access to memory. Most games will share all the data with every client which makes it trivial to display positions of every enemy on the ma

I see where you coming from, but that only tells half of the story. I've been sporting the same model of Ecco shoes since high school. 10+ models over the years. And every new model is significantly worse than the previous one. The one

Oh sweet summerchild. When OG games were released we were playing on LAN with BNC terminators. That's why the Q1 netcode is so bad. When we moved to online we didn't had the infra we have today. Bonus point: CS at one point just h

I skipped through TrueNAS and FreeBSD straight to Windows. YMMV but for my use case I have my NAS hooked up to a TV in my living room that also works as HTPC, gaming console, and occasionally a spare PC for visitors.

I wanted to join the NAS club for so long but it was always either bang for buck for prebuilts ($1k for 4 bays, with 4Gb RAM and the CPU is slower than my previous phone?!) or lack of availability for 4+ SATA boards. Last year I had aha mom

As someone who has been described as "mister Wolf" (Pulp Fiction reference) several times I'd say it's hard to market yourself and getting hired as a joker. If you're THE guy, like when Google hired Guido, then it&#

It is precisely that! My version was wireframe and I can't recall the dragon, but everything else is exactly like I remembered it! For me this serves as an example. Few years later VFX1 was the hype, years later Occulus, etc. But 3D gr

Yes! The booth depicted on the 1000CS image looks exactly how I recall it, and the screenshot looks very similar to how I remember the game (minus dragon, and mine was fully wireframe), but the map layout looks very similar. It has this Q3D

Yes, I get that, wiki has a nice lineage graph, but again, if I don't care about all flavors of Linux distributions, why should I care about BSD? How are they different? And how does it really matter in the grand scheme of things? I m

Rory made an excellent remark about how Rolls-Royce stopped showing their cars at car shows and instead shifted towards private jets and yachts events. As he put it - when you're shopping for a $100M yacht, a $2 car is almost an impuls
