I’ve been a Game Engineer for 15+ years and there are many things that can help improve your toolkit. Experiment, learn new tech, and selectively copy. Experiment: make micro demos…

What difficulties did you experience? I’ve upgraded many projects from ancient C# v2 and more modern versions. There are always some things that need to be addressed, but as long a…

I know that a lot of companies (I’ve worked for and colleagues worked for) were asking Microsoft for an all-in-one solution like slack that would integrate with their office and sh…

What was the product? How did teams bundle kill your growth? Office already bundled Skype and teams was a natural progression for Microsoft in response to slacks and zooms growth i…

In my experience, VR is hindered by a new “boys club”: a group of people that aren’t game developers, but invested early in VR tech. Issue being that this group of developers can b…

IEnumerator is how Unity implements coroutines.

In a case like Unity, low latency stuff can be moved to the job/burst system. Coroutines are generally for gameplay logic. Things that need to be done overtime in a single context.…

Where you getting this information that tasks and IEnumerator can’t be used for games? I’ve been using Unity for 10 years and tasks and Ienumerators are used as coroutines all the …

Buying preowned furniture can save a lot of money. I bought a 4 piece sectional couch, in great condition, for $600. The set originally cost $4500.

I have a lot of fond memories of Shoes and the project that spawned it Hackety Hack. I used shoes to make dnd character sheet creators, munchkin score cards, and guis for lots of b…

I have 2 Vizio tvs and neither is connected to the internet. I don’t use built in tv functionality because they all perform terrible and show unwanted content. I use 3rd party stre…

Sorry, no one is gonna prefer to watch flag football over full contact tackling. This is an absurd article. And the fact that the Olympics are holding a flag football event is a jo…

The part where they had a poll was very unscientific, it left comparisons to random audio equipment on the listeners end. Results would be based on the listeners situation more tha…

The article says otherwise. It says that many concerns were disregarded during that time.

That’s a bad process. The review of the feature should start before it’s merged into main branch, not after. It totally reasonable for people to be upset with a breaking feature in…

My partner works for a company that uses thin clients to aws instances and they get about half of the hardware back. They don’t even attempt to get the monitors back.

I use Jellyfin on Roku and Apple TV and the Jellyfin apps work just fine. Sometimes the Roku app loses its credentials, but they’re working on these issues and the apps keep gettin…

Depends on the field, in real-time application and games it’s gonna mostly refer to data driven design more than domain driven design. Honestly haven’t heard domain driven design i…

The new phones aren’t more compelling than the one I already have. I have an iPhone 11 Max Pro and it’s been great since 2019, the newest iPhones just aren’t compelling to upgrade,…

So how would you solve the AOT (ahead of time compiling) problem without code generation? An entire ecosystem (Unity) that uses C# requires that code must be AOT for supporting IL2…

You’re just wrong, Amazon controls around 35% of all US e-commerce. Not being able to sell on Amazon instantly removes most of your available customers. The second largest is Walma…

Even so, a lot of those corporate web applications rely on .net frameworks for integrating with shared point, ad, and many other established enterprises services and applications s…

Been a few years since I’ve used Go protobuf library, but it left a sour taste. First memory allocations are awful and slow. At the time there was no way to reuse slices for serial…

You can change the offset in the Lua C source. It’s gonna break every single table you reference, but you can use your 0 based indexing in your scripts. Why though? I’ve used Lua f…

Is this device specific? I have the RT-AX82U (great router by the way) and haven’t had any issues.
