Never underestimate how much damage a single high-ranked idiot can inflict on its own ranks.

The GP was trolling.

One will be long dead when a desired fundamental change finally completes. So any suggestion to stay and wait it out is plain disingenuous.

Good time to mention TwinMotion - a real-time archviz software from Epic, built on top of Unreal Engine. Free for personal and small-scale commercial use. https://www.twinmotion.co…

It is vastly superior to Khan. Had my kids go through both, so can compare. That said, on higher levels there's some cruft that trains mechanical skills, and that's on subjects tha…

If said experience is subpar, e.g. when it happens with 30+ student classes when 80% dgaf, there's no harm in offering an alternative to those who wants it. And the rest can contin…

This sort of anecdotal evidence tells more about you than Telegram ;)

Nice little detail - WhatsApp was a $1/year subscription before they sold to Zuckerberg ... with the exact subscription cost now conspicuously missing from the app's Wikipedia page…

Way outdated info, but back in mid '00s when I was interviewing with EA, the recruiter guy who happened to like me said - "be careful when entering gamedev domain, because it's ver…

Twice a year

The main issue with Gnutella was - IIRC - that it didn't scale. At least the initial version, not sure if there was a revised one. Basically, if you open the log window and look at…

AltaVista had so much noise that it was basically unusable... which exactly the issue Google solved and why it still exists and AV doesn't.
