If it's anything like the UK then it's likely the games are played in a public space like a park, so it might not be possible to eject the parent.

I agree. The word "pond" is what immediately got my attention.

I did read it. A compiler converts your code into assembly. They usually have varying levels of optimisation depending on what you're doing. The article boils down to "could AI be a good compiler" and I'd say that consis

Doesn't the compiler rewrite your code in assembly?

My boys (then 10 and 8) loved MakeCode Arcade. I promised that if they wrote an original game - rather than following the great tutorials - then I'd make them a physical setup with a Pi Zero and some classic arcade buttons. They were v

I agree. I came to Unreal with only a basic level of C++. Having Unreal handle memory management for you was useful, but I can imagine the chaos an Unreal-only C++ developer might cause when unleashed on another C++ codebase.

As a primarily C# developer who has done some game engine work, I recently gave Godot a go for licensing reasons. Apart from some quirkiness I'm fairly impressed. Much nicer C# support compared to Unity. I've done a fair bit of Un

I was born in London, lived in London until about 15 years ago and still go there a few times a year. It really has become as bad as people make out. One thing that brought it home to me was recently re-watching 28 Days Later. As the main c

I found some of these Visionect displays cheap on eBay and was planning to do the same. I found the backend Docker conatiner was unstable and kept crashing so I parked the project. Maybe I'll have to look at it again.

I once fixed a bug with a similar timeframe. Many attempts by many people over the years. One day I finally fixed it and thought I'd let the user who'd raised it know that it was finally resolved. Unfortunately he'd died of n

Anything that has a "why" _should_ have a comment. I know people like to structure code so that it doesn't need comments. However, nice clean well structured code can describe the _what_ without comments but never the _why_.

I'm not sure the test rides are for the version of the bike with this battery. The bike already exists with a more conventional battery pack. I've had a brief test ride on a pre-production version of the Verge TS. All seemed OK bu

I just don't find it interesting. The only thing less interesting is the constant evangelism about it. I also find that the actual coding is important. The typing may not be the most ineresting bit, but it's one of the steps that

It's a doll, a microbit (with MakeCode) and some double-sided tape.

Tailwind suits the kind of developers who hack things together and build up technical debt and spaghetti code rather thinking about things first and designing things properly.

There's a pizza place in Munich that does the same. It would have been funny if I hadn't been trying to find somewhere my two tired and grumpy kids would agree on for food. One of them was happy to see his favourite pizza on the m

Now _that's_ what I came to the comments to either see, or say myself.

Korea has a system similar to this. You start at age 1 and get one year older each New Year's Day. https://www.90daykorean.com/korean-age-all-about-age-in-kore...

What's "new" about the interstitium and interstitial fluid? What an odd and pointless article.

I drove round Costa Rica on holiday for 2 weeks. Google Maps worked just fine with destinations (usually hotels/lodges) and I didn't notice anything different about addresses. The roads seemed OK too - apart from some crazy truck

Canon is off my list. Not only did I have the usual inkjet issues with my last canon multifunction printer, but it refused to scan when it was out of ink too. That's just inexcusably and intentionally bad behaviour.

PHP is useful in the same way that Arduinos are useful. I helps you quickly identify people who don't know what they're doing.

Over the last couple of years I've accidentally done sort of what you're after. I'll describe what happened and give you some thoughts. I'm not sure how useful it will be as I'm now in a business where game engines

A Stream Deck (and later a Stream Deck +). Useful and fun to code your own plugins too. I work 100% remote so I also went for another Elgato product - a ring light - so my work video calls look a bit better. If all of your interaction at wo

Where did you get your 90% for ML stat from? I suspect you just made it up becuase it just happens to fit what you experience personally. I work with software for virtual studios. It's very similar to gaming in a lot of ways (even usin

The flip side is that if someone asks a question like "how do I do X in Windows 10?" there will always be some dull idiot who says "uninstall it and install linux".

If I'm interviewing for a job and they ask me to do one of these tests I just say "no thanks". Any company that puts this sort of HR astrology above technical ability is not for me.
