We haven't started using it yet but we've been thinking about using the Architecture Decision Record pattern as presented in the ThoughtWorks Technology Radar [1]. The basic idea i…

I believe Activision uses an studio dedicated to multiplayer servers called Demonware: https://demonware.net/ Maybe they have some information on some of the methods they use, when…

DHH made a nice post about it a few years back (2015) https://medium.com/signal-v-noise/reconsider-41adf356857f

Actually it's a debate my wife and I had for a while but our situation became more strange than that. We now have the bed in the living room and we just turn off every power bars w…

Exactly this! We got rid of out dinning table because we were always eating in front of the TV or the PC. We got rid of the couch because we were always watching TV from bed. We di…

I looks as if they started their calendar year with January 1st on Sunday. Maybe they just never even bothered to align the dates with the week days.

Regarding the "bragging" posts, according to this Hidden Brain podcast [1], it has a more negative effect than anything and is usually not the truth about people current situation …

Interestingly, there seems to be an equality bias[1] where the experts opinions weight no more than any other person's opinion. So apparently the reasonable heuristic isn't always …

Maybe, but I see "aware" as noticing things external to myself as opposed to "conscious" or "present" where it has a more spiritual, intra-personal meaning. Or maybe I'm not unders…

It took me about an hour. I used hugo [1] with netlify [2] to publish and forestry [3] to edit, and everything is on github [4]. [1] https://gohugo.io/ [2] https://netlify.com/ [3]…

Given what I started and how I've been thinking, maybe "aware". Being aware of what's happening around me, of the thoughts I have, of the progress I make, doing the mental process …

I decided to note on a daily basis what I learned over the day. To commit to it, rather than being a note in a note book, I made it as a blog[1] on which I post daily. It is badly …

I worked in QA on some AAA titles and I remember being told that the hours the team was putting in testing the game (nearly 300 people over several months of over time) would be ma…

The biggest upside compared to other code challenges I tried (HackerRank, CodinGame) is that the code is ran on your machine, and the pass/fails are from unit tests. So you code us…

I have a similar configuration, a KeePass file synced across my devices with Syncthing and it's pain free. I never think about Syncthing every since I configured it. My only worry …

But that only works well if the PR is up to date with the targeted branch. AFAIK, you have to manually merge the targeted branch into the PRs to be in an equivalent situation. Also…

I configured a SyncThing[1] between my devices with the taskwarrior file included in the synced folder and it's been working well, without having to setup a taskwarrior server. [1]…

I had a similar moment a few years back when I saw a video of a WoW player quitting [1] that brought me to tears. I felt really bad for a while and slowly stopped playing. After I …

For Red Alert, there might not be much problems to do it since they made it a freeware[1] years ago and there are already plenty of projects around it. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org…

I wouldn't mind having company over. I'm on Medivh Alliance side and my character name is the same as my HN name. Edit: I'm only playing casually.

The best way to deal with that is to see a new expansion as a new game altogether. What I enjoyed during Vanilla isn't the same thing I enjoyed in BC, etc. Right now, with Draenor,…

I've been running Ampache[0] for a while and been very pleased with it. It's on an old PC and I never have any issue when streaming from my workplace. [0] https://github.com/ampach…
