Sadly this is the exact behaviour I have come to expect from these types of people. Rather than actively work towards fixing the big issues in gender inequality (which requires society as a whole to change, and…
Unless you are a rape victim you have no right to determine what is and isn't acceptable usage of the term. Please respect the triggers of other people and check your privilege.
>Not everyone is willing to deal with graphics drivers and endless installers. To be fair this is much simpler now than it was 5-6 years ago.
From my experience code is either 'done properly' or 'shoehorned in'. But really, 'done properly' means 'you have time to organize everything satisfactorily at a high level', typically only when you are writing a new…
Schools need to empower and educate young people as to how to create wealth, and not just how to fit into a predesigned hole the labor market has ready for you. Until that happens the relatively few people that 'get'…
Business is extremely competitive. How is that any different from a car race? No entrepreneur starts a business to fail and lose all their money; they start a business to succeed, just like a competitive racer races to…
It's a good idea in theory. In practice a conservative government will end up selling off and privatizing the company. Subsequent governments will still act like they own it though, because that one company now controls…
Pretty much. More mass to lift = more fuel = more mass = more fuel etc., plus burning fuel isn't the most efficient way of getting kinetic energy into the thing you are lifting. I would say it is unsuitable for…
Once you hit a population of 50,000, you start to get bad traffic. Density then ramps up pretty quickly from there. Quite soon you'll have a population of 200,000, and the traffic is quite a lot worse, but not terribly…
While I wasn't cured after a 'short course of treatment' I started to get better from near-suicidal point when I started getting treatment. I had anxiety problems after that, but kept on at it. It took me a good 5 years…
My father was a holocaust survivor, and he was the exact same way. In fact, all of his surviving relatives were the same also. It seemed completely contradictory to me when I was younger (especially being raised as an…
Once upon a time, the Australian dollar was worth about 50 US cents, so things in Australia cost about double what it cost in the US. Then the Australian economy started booming, and now the AUD is stronger than the…
Ah, internet petitions. The best way to feel good about doing absolutely nothing.
Banks got retarded amounts of taxpayer money because of "too big to fail"
>it's objectively a worse use of those engineers' time If you are ActivisionBlizzard, or EA. What do you do if you're not them? THQ is a good example of a publisher that tried to mimic the big dogs, and failed…
http://warhorsestudios.cz/index.php?page=blog&entry=blog... is a very good blog post, outlining how poisonous executive management of large video game companies is, and how there are inordinate numbers of…
>Ortiz framed a brilliant, selfless young man as a criminal who should be locked up behind bars. Law is about drama? There's plenty of drama and hyperbole in your post. He broke the law. Which means he is a…
Martyrdom is a hell of a drug.
Geez, it's been almost a decade since the last good space sim, Freelancer. I wonder why no one has made a mainstream space sim game since (X3 is a notable exception, though the learning curve is quite steep). Between…
See http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/freshers/raspberrypi/tutorials/os/ for some really good tutorials for making a toy OS from scratch on your Raspberry Pi.
But I thought Google isn't allowed to do _any_ evil.
No government on earth can claim that they do not violate human rights, either in public, or in secret. I guess Google can't do business with any government.
Cool, another high profile person has joined the 'looks like a famous person on twitter but is actually a large PR team' club.
The biggest problem is when the 1% of good apps get overlooked, or have 90%+ piracy rates.
As far as I see it, with piracy rates around 90%, going freemium is the only way a dev can make money these days. It's sad how these kids don't realize they are killing the platform they are trying to play on.
