> Wait, that can't be right, it would be ludicrous. Once a game passes the threshold it pays per-install permanently? Yes and no. You need to meet _both_ thresholds, cumulative (li…

> The problem Unity have created is if something can be made with Unity it will get crowded out with clones in five minutes. This really has nothing to do with Unity. Flappy Bird c…

How big is your team? How do you code review? How do you unit test? How are you maintaining 3 year old blueprints? This will work just fine for small indie games and teams where th…

This isn't really a solid argument since stockholder investment isn't even "money"; it's collateral in the form of market valuation against which Unity borrows. The actual "money" …

Yes, but it has many known limitations and isn't nearly as reliable as a runtime that has a full GC and virtualization optionality, which you really need in order to fully track wh…

Keep in mind that in addition to the "learning curve" arguments, there is also the functional developer ergonomics of things like live reload (where you can maintain memory state) …

Citation needed? Raw speed is likely similar; the cost overhead comes from GC cycles and the general approach to managing memory primarily in the heap vs stack, although C# can sta…

But you need to consider that so have hosting costs-- proportionately too. Hosting data was incredibly expensive 10 years ago. If the math was working then, it should at least be p…

Fastmail nets around $50/year (if you pay annually) for mail + your own domain, and if you don't need the domain, it's less. Another $50/year really isn't that big of a stretch for…

Can you explain what is worse about link tracking? If you're explicitly making a request to a remote service, how would you expect it to not be tracked?

Getting good signal-to-noise ratio from ANY interview, forget the big cos, is really difficult. I've seen great programmers passed over because they were _not_ given a chance to wh…

> It wasn't obvious at the time, but I think in retrospect the case can be made that Apple's ability to innovate effectively (both in terms of time and quality) died with Jobs. Oh …

This isn't an economic issue, it's an efficiency issue. There are 3 competing ideas: Fast, cheap, quick. You get to pick 2. We're picking cheap and quick because "fast" comes for f…

This is extremely hyperbolic, and I'm sure you know this. Here's how you set a variable in React: const foo = 1; What you're doing in your complicated sample is not _just_ setting …

Article tl;dr: "I believe that apples are more efficient than oranges after all." I just want to point out that the idea that "modern buildings use just enough material to fulfill …

Development on the MS side was just fine in the 90s for many people. If you were an open source developer in the 90s, maybe not, but then again, OSS in the 90s was pretty broken fo…

MS is contributing to Electron. They benefit, but so does the wider community. This is generally how OSS works.

They mean that the signing bonus is divided into two yearly payouts instead of one. It's a single bonus. I personally don't see what's wrong with a N/2N/3N... vesting schedule for …

> I stop counting the 5+ years old laptops that have to be upgraded, 5+ years ago is that LOOOOOONG time that OP was talking about. It's also unfair to compare technical capabiliti…

It's not as bad as previous poster states, but it's not quite as simple as you make it seem either. A green card holder forfeits their residency if they leave the US for "more than…

Git repos change way more often than domain or company names do. Moving from code.google.com to github.com, moving a project from a user to an org, transferring across orgs, renami…

> I am far from being a Go expert but you can see this has been written by Java developers. Hi! As of writing, I am currently the top code contributor to the AWS SDK for Go (NB: I'…

People don't trust Mozilla because they read the code, they trust Mozilla because they do exactly what was described above. They do the things that foster trust.

Oh the irony of this comment given that the very first amendment to the US constitution is a law protecting "freedom of speech". You know, the one that everyone talks about being s…
