We haven't started using it yet but we've been thinking about using the Architecture Decision Record pattern as presented in the ThoughtWorks Technology Radar [1]. The basic idea is document decisions with a specific structure and

I believe Activision uses an studio dedicated to multiplayer servers called Demonware: https://demonware.net/ Maybe they have some information on some of the methods they use, when googling for them (haven't searched m

Actually it's a debate my wife and I had for a while but our situation became more strange than that. We now have the bed in the living room and we just turn off every power bars when we go to sleep to not have any lights disturb our s

Exactly this! We got rid of out dinning table because we were always eating in front of the TV or the PC. We got rid of the couch because we were always watching TV from bed. We didn't see the point in keeping these only to very rarely

I looks as if they started their calendar year with January 1st on Sunday. Maybe they just never even bothered to align the dates with the week days.

Regarding the "bragging" posts, according to this Hidden Brain podcast [1], it has a more negative effect than anything and is usually not the truth about people current situation in life. For instance, we might see the great vaca

Interestingly, there seems to be an equality bias[1] where the experts opinions weight no more than any other person's opinion. So apparently the reasonable heuristic isn't always applied in how we perceive and judge information.

Maybe, but I see "aware" as noticing things external to myself as opposed to "conscious" or "present" where it has a more spiritual, intra-personal meaning. Or maybe I'm not understanding the terms the rig

It took me about an hour. I used hugo [1] with netlify [2] to publish and forestry [3] to edit, and everything is on github [4]. [1] https://gohugo.io/ [2] https://netlify.com/ [3] https://forest

Given what I started and how I've been thinking, maybe "aware". Being aware of what's happening around me, of the thoughts I have, of the progress I make, doing the mental process of noting things rather than being passi

I decided to note on a daily basis what I learned over the day. To commit to it, rather than being a note in a note book, I made it as a blog[1] on which I post daily. It is badly written and really incomplete but as it is mostly for myself

I worked in QA on some AAA titles and I remember being told that the hours the team was putting in testing the game (nearly 300 people over several months of over time) would be matched by the players in the first 6 to 8 hours from the rele

The biggest upside compared to other code challenges I tried (HackerRank, CodinGame) is that the code is ran on your machine, and the pass/fails are from unit tests. So you code using your editors in a real development environment rath

I have a similar configuration, a KeePass file synced across my devices with Syncthing and it's pain free. I never think about Syncthing every since I configured it. My only worry is if all devices fail at once, I could lose all my pas

But that only works well if the PR is up to date with the targeted branch. AFAIK, you have to manually merge the targeted branch into the PRs to be in an equivalent situation. Also, other commits might still be added into the targeted branc

I had a similar moment a few years back when I saw a video of a WoW player quitting [1] that brought me to tears. I felt really bad for a while and slowly stopped playing. After I learned to program a few years later, I couldn't enjoy

For Red Alert, there might not be much problems to do it since they made it a freeware[1] years ago and there are already plenty of projects around it. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command_%26_Conquer:_Red_Alert...

I wouldn't mind having company over. I'm on Medivh Alliance side and my character name is the same as my HN name. Edit: I'm only playing casually.

The best way to deal with that is to see a new expansion as a new game altogether. What I enjoyed during Vanilla isn't the same thing I enjoyed in BC, etc. Right now, with Draenor, I'm having fun with Garrison which is a kind of F

That reminds me of the experiment where someone lived with upside down goggles[1]. Just like with babies trying to understand what they see, his brain had to adapt to everything and he had to relearn to perform the actions. I wonder how it

Without realizing it, we think in the language we know[1]. When starting to learn another language, we still think in our native language and translate it to the foreign one. However, when reaching a higher experience with a second/thi
