Same, but games run uncompressed assets as an optimization measure to trade disk usage for CPU usage, depending on which is the bottleneck for their particular game (iiuc) So it'd …

Can you elaborate on Unity wasting disk space on gigabytes of zeroes? How did you discover that? Is it intentional on Unity's part? Percentage-wise, are we talking 2% of a 100GB ga…

I got a light interrogation as a US citizen. For the record, I have Global Entry, NEXUS, and TSA Pre-Check. I handed the border agent my US passport and the conversation went like …

> normally, you can visit the PRC for 15 days, you're railroaded throughout your whole trip, and you're required by law to stay in a select few hotels where the staff speak English…

Wait, huh? The article is light on hard figures, but the homicide rate in Sweden doesn't seem to have changed much at all in the last 30 years https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/…

I don't have anything insightful to add, I just want to add my voice to the choir of people saying that after using sum types, working in a language without them feels unnecessaril…

As a very junior developer, I once worked on a chatbot for purchasing flight tickets. You know the ones, the annoying windows that pop up when you're trying to navigate a (hopefull…

Same. Expedia asked me to test production ticket booking flows using my personal credit card. It was a flow where you can use a special code to book a refundable ticket. I asked wh…

Tangentially related, but I don't understand. From light googling, a quick-release steering wheel seems to be a steering wheel that you can simply remove by pressing a button. So f…

This particular question doesn't seem like a fallacy to me. I, like most people intuitively answered b). Given the explanation on the Wikipedia page I went "oh, of course, yeah", b…

The previous point is very reasonable, and I think your response is overly flippant and confrontational. I've had coworkers hounded by managers from unrelated teams because my cowo…

There are a lot of assumptions baked into your position. 1. The employer pays for your time, not your expertise or output. It'd only be stealing from the company if the company car…

No. I am almost certainly an outlier, even among my peer group. No kids, taking a break from work, very few responsibilities. When I have a full time job my playtime drops, but 1-3…

I want to echo this sentiment, albeit for different reasons. When I have a particularly bad day as an adult, I often think back to being a child (or worse, teenager) in school forc…

Just to echo the other children of this comment; I'm pretty lost as to the reasoning here. I game at 1440p on a GTX 1080 from launch day in 2016. Cost is essentially no object for …

I've been burned by this in the past (also for Italian, but also Japanese). Do you find this issue persists even if you attempt to search the Italian internet for definitions/usage…

I'm also thinking quite a lot about this. TL;DR There are many pieces to our culture and capitalist economy that make this difficult, but somewhat surprisingly to me, also many leg…

1912-1964 Republicans may not have been particularly right wing. My understanding is that prior to the "Southern Strategy" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_strategy ) of th…

There are a lot of ways to compare these numbers, and I think "absolute dollar amount" is not particularly enlightening among them. On a per-project percentage basis, the parent's …

I had an encounter with a rude interviewer when I was slightly younger. (Nothing egregious, your run-of-the-mill overconfident person who wrote their own algorithms interview quest…
