Very interesting concept as well as technical execution by encoding the whole thing into the PNG pixels :) Also cool to see myself featured there, so in case you need another homeb…

Considering that pretty much all multiplayer games in existence perform some sort of local prediction / state interpolation to hide the lag on the local machine, cloud only multipl…

I actually wrote a Asteroids "Clone" that uses Vector Graphics last year :) [0] But I agree, tooling is complicated. I'm currently adding the finishing touches to the rewrite of my…

That however goes both ways, making it also far easier to install a dictatorship etc. because you don't have to replace tens of thousands of police officers with regime loyal ones.…

Plus the fact that you can't directly write to VRAM at all times and have to wait for the corresponding access windows. But it's also a big contributor to the general art style and…

Factories in Orbit, pretty much. There might not be many products today which will benefit from this ability, but a free fall environment brings many benefits to things such as cry…

They are simply ignoring the real world economic impacts though, which is stubborn to say the least. The world is no utopia, and as long as money / economic gain is the utmost prio…

Currently a lot of fincancial products can be created and managed in London, since once approved there, they are automatically approved in all other EU member states, too. This of …

It is actually the other way around. Internal producers simply cannot compete with external ones who can produce in multiple countries, in giant quantities at very low overhead cos…

Compared to the current situation of writing a few lines and then having to wait for a vendor specific day one graphics driver update to have your game actually running at halfway …

One could assume that they are either simply lazy or incapable of designing such a system on their own. By taking a look at their "index" which consists of one giant directory in a…

This would definitely be very interesting in regards to language study. Repeating the experiment with people which are actively in the progress of learning a new language every few…

Point here is, all of this doesn't matter. The market doesn't care about "ethics" or whatever. The market only knows one thing: Demand. And it will do whatever it takes to satisfy …

This is mostly about linters, makeprg's and things like Ctrl+P / Command+T, git-gutter etc. I recently switched to NeoVim and it really _does_ make a world of difference, saving is…

For smaller projects I definitely agree with having both unit and integration tests, especially for libraries. One thing to look out for is the fact that you can always "cheat" in …

I in part agree with the pinpointing, though in my experience this really boils down to an issue of scope and how much of the data you want to test in each of your tests. E.g. an A…

One good way to the limit breakage in such cases is to solely perform black box tests on the API level. In case of our Node.js based Backends we don't ever write a single classical…

Yes, they use AdBlock, but there's still a difference here, right now they're seeing the tweets of their peers in-order, with ads intermixed - which makes the ads trivial to filter…

Most of my friends actually use it as a async, direct and realtime communications channel, pretty much like Whatsapp, just with more "social integration" (read: the whole internet)…

The real problem here is the fact that there is missing oversight on these court orders, since it might be the case that the judge handing out the order does not have sufficient kn…

For anyone interested in the talks from the recent RustCamp, the videos are now available: http://confreaks.tv/events/rustcamp2015

Yes, nuclear power does have a safety problem, but not a imminent one. The real problem does not come from operations, but from the waste these operations leave behind. Minimizing …
