Drawing hands is hard
Isn’t problem solving mostly put things together of what you’ve learned before?
The great thing about Slack is how easy it is to make automations. I guess this one just reads RSS feeds.
At my work we have automations notifying us about production errors for example.
I like to mix between OOP and FP for different levels. OOP is great for higher architectural problems. FP is great for everything under it.
And yes, inheritance was a huge mistake. Just use composition and interfaces instead.
I think JSON is more robust than XML by now. Mostly due to its simplicity. There are few reasons why anyone would pick XML over JSON these days.
It makes you want to die on a hill
It was featured in a PlayStation showcase last year. The most notable part of the trailer was a burger. I’m not kidding.
There’s also the $100 million development cost
Joseph Anderson has made a similar trolley challenge. It’s a cinematic masterpiece: https://youtu.be/RgqRIFj4Zrk
I liked when they said “it’s concording time” and concorded all over the place.
Right now I’m mostly using the Xbox One controller (on PC). It’s a controller that feels really good to hold. No weird gimmicks like motion control either. I think it’s one of the all time greats.
Runner up is GameCube.
Shit in terms of having no players and being pulled back after just two weeks.
From what I understand, the game itself was alright. It had no major technical or gameplay problems. At least the team of programmers and game designers were competent.
The main issue is that the game was incredibly unappealing, and I believe this can only come from poor leadership.
It’s probably not even the artists fault it turned out this shit. My gut feeling is that the game is victim of incompetent leadership. Indecisiveness on important matters and micro management on stupid things.
It’s also the same incompetent leadership who will get bonuses and promotions after this.
Well someone must pull that switch and push that cart. Only a highly trained professional from MIT can do it.
Better be explicit about the walled garden rather than being diffuse about it
Yeah, the old logos were all over the place. At first glance it’s not obvious they’re all Google apps.
In my team we use both Linux and Mac (I don’t want to disclose my company, but it’s in Sweden). IT isn’t entirely happy about some of us using Linux because it’s more difficult for them to administer the computers (i.e. install spyware), but so far they’ve been unsuccessful in making us switch.
I’ll revise my opinion when Valve changes to a more overtly predatory model of capitalism
I believe as long they’re not publicly traded )and Gabe is in charge), that’s not a concern.
Being public (or owned by a publicly traded company) tend to bring out these nasty traits. It’s more about finding ways to bring value to shareholders than the customers.
What’s happening is that support from VC money is drying up. Tech companies have for a long time survived on the promise that they will eventually be much more profitable in the future. It doesn’t matter if it’s not profitable today. They will be in the future.
Now we’re in a period where there’s more pressure on tech companies to be profitable today. That’s why they’re going for such anti consumer behaviors. They want to make more with less.
I’m not sure if there’s a bubble bursting. It could just be a plateau.
