I’m a game developer. Lots of work in that area but it’s hard work with lots of competition. Lots of time spent optimizing performance so you can run on weaker hardware. Insane use…

Theory: The cloud took over the same way most trendy tech took over: resume driven development. Everyone on all the teams pushed for it because of how much value it adds to their r…

It used to be missing occlusion culling, which is a big deal. I think it either has it now or else it’s in v4 though? It was sparse on tutorial content from the community too, but …

Godot seems nice so far. How is the c# support? The docs? Is it hard to do x if you look online for how to do so? Performance? Occlusion culling? Last time I looked into it, it was…

Isn’t it likely that patent law is going to lock ai down? One company will finally crack something general-enough in a way that gets it way ahead, will patent it, and will use that…

HackerNews is a community of skilled professionals engaging politely with each other. It’s great for entrepreneurs and technical people. Is there somewhere similar for writers? Esp…

These discussions always remind me of some talks by Jonathan blow where he argues rust doesn’t solve the hard problems he needed it to. There are podcast episodes with better discu…

This is apocalyptic. Imagine something 100km from where you live, and that whole span between you and there being under water tomorrow. in a movie, that wouldn’t feel real no matte…

Notice is says “for ads,” and not in general. The terms sneakily allow them to still profile you or use your content in other ways, like training ai systems or reporting you to the…

That’s due to swelling batteries, which is apparently common in the xps line

How Orwellian. It’s like newspeak: make it impossible to express certain thoughts

My mom wasn’t hacked, but she lost her password and can’t get a human to talk to for the life of her

Speaking of upping their game, I have a friend who worked in photography, and photo and video editing. Over the years, the tools got better and better and more user friendly. The m…

I wish Canada would do a similar call for comments

I’d rather have a portable device that doesn’t need a separate keyboard

Out of curiosity, why is it only 5M and not 500M? You would think the same vulnerability applied to every server, not just one or one cluster, if they are using automated deploymen…

I recently turned down a m1 mba for $1100 in favour of a 2015 mba for $500. The keyboard is so dramatically better in the 2015 model, I couldn’t believe it. The battery is great, s…

Off topic, but I just learned that the author of Watchmen (Alan moore) wrote some superman stories. The one I’m trying to track down right now is “for the man who has everything.” …

Removing affiliate codes is arguably a privacy feature. People don’t especially like having so many sites know where they just came from. I know some people who rely on those affil…

> I’ve seen great games fail because they tuned their compulsion loop to two minutes when it should have been an hour. Nobody tries to hide anymore that a lot of game companies jus…

Again, what does this have to do with being blind? Whether you can see or not, summaries are nice to have; and whether you can see or not, you still need to read the code in case t…
