We're a small team of a bit more than 10 people and slack has definitely improved our lifes. Before there was always someone moving around to talk to someone else or internal E-Mails which are equally bad. We use slack sparingly and on

An A380 is already full of screens where touch input could be introduced. All major airplane manufacturers are definitely experimenting with touch screens in the cockpit [1]. I guess not for flight critical systems for different reasons, be

Yeah, stuff like this is bad. As a parent you need to stop this. Gets harder the older they are. But how? A few steps: - Control yourself emotionally. You're a role model for your child. Your child can't control their emotion and

There are many resources for game design. But I have to tell you honestly that I think it's questionable just to read about it. You can read books, podcasts and blogs about it for years, but that alone doesn't make you a game desi

The first lego sets I had are still great. They are more basic and allow more open play than the current sets in my opinion. The lego pieces today feel a bit better and are easier to connect and pull apart. But I do not like the way Legos t

The patterns described here are: Guidance (Leading the player), Safe Zones, Foreshadowing, Layering (Combining multiple enemies and hazards), Branching, Pace Breaking. It's a good list which can be applied side-scrollers, top-down game

Yeah this is a good one. Telling children what you want them to do rather than what you don't want them to do puts the focus on the desired action. A positive outcome is more likely. It's fascinating how those communication skills

The way you describe a timeout makes sense. There can only be a meaningful interaction among both parties when emotions are under control. I also tell my kid to take a minute off and calm down first if necessary. There was a german parentin

There are a few things which helped me get better at parenting: * Timeouts rarely work. Try to respond with something which makes sense. Like if your kid throws around things, they need to clean up (with your help). * If things get out of h

I sometimes see them being used as an archive format, where PDF's are converted to tiff beforehand. Each page on a separate layer.

But why only for 18 days? Artificial scarcity? Would there be any drawbacks to sell them without a deadline? After those 18 days the music will probably be available through other means anyway..

Is there a good, crossplatform, embedable browser as an alternative to cef? As far as i know there's gecko which is outdated and servo ain't there yet...

On the other hand, there are many who believe, that automation got us into this. The more we automate, the more we depend on it which leads to problems if exceptional situations occur. [1] Maybe the 737 Max is just too complex and relies to

There's one thing I don't understand while looking at the flight recorder data: After flaps are retracted for the final time, the altitude seems to stabilize. So why the sudden drop before the crash? Why couldn't the pilots j

We call them Flip Floppers. We do a lot of integration testing, more so than unit testing, and those tests, which randomly fail, are a real headache. One thing I learned is that setting up tests correctly, independent of each other, is hard

One thing I don't understand is why political leaders aren't all over this? Think about a nation going full green and the effect it could have on neighbouring countries? Or a president understanding, that this problem was of highe

Interesting symptoms. The coffee consumption, mood swings and cyclical depression and also symptoms other commenters described like needing lists for everything or overthinking things are a perfect match for someone close to me. The only th

Very nice. But I wonder why they did encrypt assets or save files in the first place for a single player game? Is this ever useful?

Actually I'm really excited about wasm and WebGL inside of the browser. One build target to rule them all. But we're still far, far away from utopia. Unreal and Unity web builds are not production-ready yet. The cross compilation

There are 2 problems with this license. 1) Sometimes it is hard to tell, if an entity is regarded to be commercial or not. Is a hacker, who receives ad-money and donations a commercial entity? What about a university? It's unclear and

Maybe your company should provide the optimal hardware which everyone must use? Each employee using a similar environment is a productivity boost. And I can tell you, that if everyone would use the same system, even windows, you would have

Something like this happened in Basel, Switzerland in 2007 [1]. I remember that during their work on the enhanced geothermal system small quakes were triggered in the region. They had to cancel the project thereafter. [1] https:/&#x2F

I keep repeating myself, but there is goaccess [1] which is powerful enough for most use cases. It creates a nice realtime, html report of your apache or nginx logs. It can even show you a report inside the terminal. [1] https://

There's also GoAccess [1] which can monitor and parse your nginx or apache logs to show you realtime stats in a html report or even directly in your terminal. The numbers do not fully match google analytics numbers, but I love how it l

I blame inheritance of wealth and the possibility of unlimited accumulation of richness for this. In my opinion, property and money, which someone amassed during his lifetime, should automatically be devoted to the common good after that pe

Does this somehow apply to git-lfs, too? This is quite important for game development, where binary assets grow faster than you can think. Azure DevOps includes unlimited, private lfs-storage for small teams. [1] I also wonder how microsoft

While working with the PDF format I sometimes get the impression that this complexity is what Adobe wants. As a result, Adobe Reader is the only viewer that implements the entire spec and can handle all (or most) quirks. This is especially
