A lot of these types of books and posts only deal with the low hanging fruits of software design difficulty, such as the provided discount service example. The trouble is that kind of thing's pretty much software…
Short version: good refactoring = improve maintainability, brevity and usability without compromising functionality. Basically, make it simpler without breaking it or actually making it not simpler.
There are many pillars of our own intelligence that we tend to gloss over. For instance - awareness and the ability to direct attention. Or something as simple as lifting your hand and moving some fingers at will. Those…
"There is no such thing as death at all for this body. The only death is the end of the illusion, the end of the fear, the end of the knowledge that we have about ourselves and the world around us." "There is no such…
I've found it quite easy to build and deploy to Linux, also curious what challenges you've run into.
My instinct is that this is probably on the naive side. For instance, we use separation of concerns in our systems because we're too cognitively limited to create and manage deeply integrated systems. Nature doesn't…
Game dev is one of the most unconstrained software domains. On the one hand it's what makes it exciting and endlessly interesting, but it's also what can make it a nightmare. Perhaps most simply because computers are…
It's easy to make something lean when you can start from scratch. Backwards compatibility and large user bases resistant to change are overlooked as primary causal factors of the modern state of affairs, imo.
Anecdotally, looking at code written by someone else always goes to 'unfamiliar' territory. I can only read code I'm very familiar with like a book.
Another reason this unfortunately wouldn't be viable is latency - a video feed has no client side prediction.
The standards have gone up a lot over time. Your average player now knows who the tops teams are and watches them play. Vastly different from the early 2000s when just knowing to aim at heads set you apart. Even to be a…
