I'm pretty sure it's because it's in fact 'just' a cool side effect to a common network architecture optimisation from the time where you could'nt send the 'state' of the entire ga…

Not from the article : Before you walk in, a supercomputer predicted which choice you'd make, and put $1000000 in the opaque box if it predicted you'd take just the one, or $0 if i…

I don't get the 'choice' : the content of the box is aldready defined when you take your decision so taking it won't change the content of the black box and the open/transparent bo…

Nextcloud is great !

Was really helpfull when making international phone call to services like IRS or sometime good providers. Trying to spell out my french name and long adress or some order number wi…

Funny, I always thought that phrase was ironic and actually a joke against IBM bad quality/pricing ratio but abundant and aggressive marketing targeted at non technical managers. (…

I bet (litteraly, founded an xr game development company in february) xr/vr games will indeed became a mainstream gaming platform in the next 5 years, maybe even next year. If or w…

Never watched him but honestly, that would be pretty standard mature workflow. In most video games productions, efficient coding is basically conceptualizing a dsl from the game de…

I assume most of losses come from headsets R&D, and subjectively i would bet on them too, the progress are amazing, a today 350$ headset have better quality than 5 year ago 1500-2k…

Unless you specifically need a lot of the dot net library (and in this case you can probably theoretically 'just' use a plugin for access) I would encourage you to try gdscript. I …

(Probably, why take risk) Can't tell the bank name (but yeah, in the top 4 by size) and not trying to defend your bank but the SMS validation thing is actually on the state 'fault'…

I'm glad and don't see better solution than to use an algorithm to decide this over personnal choice. I understand the choice of using software. What I don't understand is why this…

I dont know if you are joking but when managing i do exactly that and that work (with a factor of 3 to be precise, with most people, some aldready take that into account). Works al…

I have no clues about what's better but as a french I'm amazed by the idea to delegate banking operations to a cloud provider. Last time I worked in bank IT political requirement a…

The trick is as a player you are not really the main customer of steam. You are the product. The customers are game developers, and they are as predatory toward them as any big cor…

Is it because we're all just writing junk code as fast as possible and say fuckall to technical debt? My guess is : probably, I love taking time to make architecture because it's f…

I think the parent was referencing fake non profit organization, I don't know for USA but in europe it's a 'classical' tax avoidance trick going from 'having a charity which goal i…

In fact they do. Barely any development FOR the french government is done internally, all is externalized to "specialized" extern private companies (a known exemple Cap Gemini). I …

I'm not sure that's right. Video game customers are wrong (or dishonest) about what they think they want. They want to see themselves as intellectual gourmets, only in research of …

Hot take : fully cooperatives board games are either bad wargames or bad role playing games. But good social activities neither less and good introductions to the genre. And yes, i…

Certainly but totally not leaded by theses companies, whose practices are the reason union should exist, a lot more than Unity. You think a 20cent fee per install is revenu canniba…

I laught when I read the names, Voodoo and Homa game are "movie bad guys level" souless hightly predatory game publishers (don't know the others). It's a PR stunt.

I never tried with Godot specifically, but i (and fellow varied developers) did it a lot in Unity and "it worked". The main points were : - Relative ease of use for us (especially …

"I won't give names but trust me", VC funded tech companies with 3-10 bros 'who have or not a vague technical background but more see themselves as high level thinkers' between fou…

A bit ranting : Working with unity for some years, I think the problem is not specifically the fee in itself, it's the context. It need polishing, there are edge case and abuse pot…
