"No one died regretting time no spent at work" Citation needed. Here's one example of a situation where I could very easily see someone regretting not spending more time at work. A…

It's intent and emotion that I'm really interested in - which to the best of my knowledge, computer generation still isn't good at. (This is for VR games, so high quality voice act…

Is voice conversion via ML possible yet? I know we can create vaguely convincing synthesised voices, but I've not run across a program which can take my recorded voice, and convert…

I suspect I'm one of the few readers here (@cstross being another) for whom this is genuinely important professional information. And it's fantastic. Sadly no mention of license th…

It's also extremely good for RPGs and MMOs, neither of which are unpopular genres. We haven't seen a lot of either yet, because both require considerable investment, but the first …

This approximately describes my approach to game development, too. It works exceptionally well there as gamedev is all about crafting a fantasy and an experience.

My Dark Souls inspired VR horror/RPG, Left-Hand Path, which exited Early Access last month: http://store.steampowered.com/app/488760/LeftHand_Path/ It's held at mid-80s positive re…

Dumb question - what's CPL?

This is a deeply unfair, unreasonable and arguably abusive comment. It's entirely reasonable to talk about yourself and your achievements on your resume, and Mr Mayes' site is rath…

This is good advice, but one question: why is the default assumption here that I'm the only person I ever record? I'm pretty good at not um-ing too frequently (20 years of public s…

On the subject of "ums" - does anyone know if there's a tool out there to automatically remove ums and uhs from spoken audio? Seems like it'd be a useful and comparatively doable p…

You might find looking into this question interesting. It's not universal, but a surprising number of the greats in all fields work less, not more.

I just discovered https://trint.com . No idea if they're any good, but they're certainly cheaper than Rev.

I've said this a few times but happy to say it again: I will very cheerfully pay for a good podcast -> transcript service. I speed-read. I don't speed-listen. And my lifestyle has …

Goddamn, that really does sound sinister as hell.

Hah! That's an interesting idea. I might just think about doing that for an April Fools' or similar...

If people enjoyed this post, you might be interested to hear that the author (me) is currently doing an AMA over on Reddit, too - https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/7c1y9q/im_…

OP and writer of the article here. I'm embarassed to say that I wrote Postfix when I meant Sendmail! I might just go ninja-edit that now :)

That will change now that it's at the top of HN, but I agree - it's currently very obscure to search engines. My guess is that it's a new site? Only a few articles, and Open Site E…

Because they'd have to talk users through allowing direct APK installs, complete with all the scary warnings. That's going to reduce the number of customers they get a lot more tha…
