Agreed. And if more high income professionals pursued this path, it would tip the balance of power in the workforce away from employers. That's a win for all except those at the to…

Keep in mind that for me it was before the FAANG companies became the new evil tech overlords, and to some extent even before the Great Financial Crisis of 2008. Back then it was m…

High achieving college students.

This article has a narrow definition of passive income, limiting it to these low-barrier-to-entry schemes. Other parts of the FIRE world have emphasized being a landlord or flippin…

Shouldn't this be great news that the government is banned from using Anthropic? I don't know why suddenly the narrative here turns to spinning this as "Trump is evil" when this is…

Not at all. Network issues make everything in games more complicated, not just bullets going through doors. Everything in games can be complicated: physics, doors, AI, network. Eve…

It's called becoming a curmudgeon once you have dealt with enough bullshit in your life. I think much of the HN community can relate to that.

Except network issues were not mentioned in the video. Moving the goalposts.

I noticed that most if not all of these questions are applicable to doors in even simple 2D games. Whereas the physics engine and real-world realism aspects are what the video talk…

Good thing I had the foresight not to "follow my passions" and work in big tech instead of game dev or academia, which is why I'm retired and don't need to worry about either regre…
