I used to do this at the beginning of a game as a kid, because the earthquakes were pretty harmless without buildings to knock down. You'd just load up on cash, then start building!
Not the poster you replied to, but I've been thinking of it lately in a different way. Functional tests show that a system works, but if a functional test fails, the unit test might show where/why. Yes, you'll usually…
It could be that this sort of thinking contributes to the massive number of JS frameworks out there. You think React is bloated, so you make a "React in 70 lines" ... realize there's some things you missed... fast…
Speaking of Jazz Jackrabbit, I always enjoyed seeing the poster in Fortnite when I used to play it.
We used to do a "feely score" of 1-5. It sort of worked to gauge how the team felt (positive or negatively), but it eventually devolved into everyone arguing over whether 3 or 4 was the baseline for an unremarkable day.
I live in Albuquerque, and this sort of thing varies greatly around here. There are certainly places that are $35-50 for a hair cut and require appointments, but there are also barber shops and chains where you can walk…
Why not have optimized versions that use native instructions when available, and then fall back to the portable version when they are not?
Back when I worked there (mid-late 90's) the chick-n-strips were actually marinated in the same stuff as the Chargrilled chicken sandwich. Both items are no longer on the menu, and were vastly superior to their…
Do you have an article or book you can link to on the subject? I'm very curious why there wasn't much demand for wheeled luggage until the 80's. Is it because people flew less? Because more people checked luggage more…
I remember implementing this for a class years ago, and then the professor suggested doing the inverse to try to expand the image width. The idea was you would duplicate the lowest energy seam... but all that did was…
I'm curious what causes that strange phenomenon. You had a 50-50 chance to get it right, but it's the wrong way almost every time.
Have you seen Wren? https://github.com/wren-lang/wren
Except fixing the rebase issue isn't usually that difficult, if you know about reflog.
What about a chain of airships?
One supermarket I went to tried that... but the user experience is so awful that no one wants to do it, so the scanners just sit at the entrance, lonely and unused.
That's kind of the key, right? If you're buying one or two items, the self-checkout is great! If you're buying a week or two worth of supplies, it's terrible. Here in the US, at least at the stores I shop at, each item…
It counts to me :) That's one of the things I love about that game too, and it makes me want to do the same.
Wait, is this a thing? I've never seen Amazon auto-playing video.
I'm not debating that he said that, I'm just suggesting that it was a marketing ploy, either to buy the teams some time to iron out the details with the app store, or some clever product strategy to release the app…
Did you mean to say "just under $1000/month"? It seems kind of strange to claim that you make under an amount, because technically $0/month is under $1000, and "actively losing money" also counts. Just curious.
I do not believe this to be true at all. The App Store opened in July 2008, just over a year after the initial iPhone was released. That means that likely had to at least be on the Apple product roadmap well before the…
I agree so much with your assessment here. I just rented a 2018 Nissan Maxima, and I was really surprised how small the rear and rear side windows are. I felt like I could barely see anything when it came to changing…
This sounds like a good basis for a sci-fi short story about a religion that centers around a device that continually plays the sounds of their gods. They have been maintaining it for millions of years, even though they…
Is it not #14 on the 2017 list given there? (Was #4 on the 2016 list)
While not a source control system, the JetBrains IDEs have a very good merge tool that is filetype aware. For example, WebStorm/IntelliJ Ultimate, when merging JavaScript, often has a "magic wand" option that can detect…
