Hmm well, from my perspective, none of them are even really playing the game, they are just taking random actions. Any human, even a small child, would be much better. And re: ages…

As a former competitive MtG player this is really exciting to me. That said, I reviewed a few of the Legacy games (the format I'm most familiar with and also the hardest by far), a…

I can't see any movement, at any distance. How likely is it something weird with my vision vs. something weird with my monitor/computer? I'm on a 360hz monitor at 2k.

I agree that maintaining web apps is an entirely different set of skills, though in my experience (mostly small and mid size companies) PMs come in with massive projects and huge c…

I think this article discounts the reasons behind frontend decisions... priorities are absolutely fast execution time and ease of hiring. There is very, very little reason to care …

I felt this way for a long time and used a heavy mouse for daily use then switched to my lightweight mouse for gaming. I changed my mind very fast when I started developing carpel …

Love the idea and technology - I’d much prefer if the output of this was an MPC order since that’s how almost everyone is making proxies these days. Getting my entire cube printed …

You are basically charging money for things that frameworks like Django already have built-in, and have already had built-in for decades. There are so many good free options for th…

Macaroons are the coconut cookie. Macarons are the fluffy egg white ones. Very different things.

When I googled your company the only results listed total comp under $100k for software engineers. 120k is slightly better than that. Equity is worth zero at private companies unle…

Impossible to find? You don’t have salary info on that listing and a quick google shows that your salaries are something like half what I’m making as a remote RN engineer. Very unl…

Not related to your actual point, but I researched corporate boards a few years back and found many instances of people on boards of two direct competitors. In fact, I found a coup…

Yep, this is where I'm at too. 13" is just not enough space for me to get anything done productively. On my 13" MBP with my standard font size, my code editor can't show a full lin…

This is 100% cheating based on Riot's rules, only because of the Spike Timer. The rest is mostly ok. The reason for that is that there is no visual indicator in-game for the spike …

You used to be able to do that, but they removed it in the most recent update.

I've never heard of that combination, I can try it out. I googled this yesterday and searched for solutions and never saw that mentioned anywhere.

Tried playing on my Macbook, but ran into problems since it requires an Esc key in a bunch of places, which Apple has for some reason basically removed completely. It looks cool th…
