I tried to embrace this knot especially since I grew up sailing and know all kinds of ways to tie knots but I just can't seem to keep the tension as well as the traditional way. I can sometimes get ankle slip on my shoes so I like to h

The causality of what? I'm probably missing something obvious here. The cause of people getting paid less in game development I said has to do with margins (although I now think there is more to it than that). > People want big tech

Your new point is excellent btw. I should have considered that. I also hope it doesn't sound like I don't care for these developers who are being taken advantage of. They should be compensated fairly for their work. EDIT I should

I think it is mostly just margins. Sure there are lots of people willing to work for no very little money for game dev but I would say there are tons of people willing to work for very little money for FAANG companies because they want that

I really wish they aggregated the metric of build time (+ whatever). That is a huge metric I care about. You can figure out it somewhat by clicking on each language benchmark but it is not aggregated. BTW as biased guy in the Java world I c

I have to agree (ignoring the whole C doesn’t throw exceptions). I have been looking at our bugs, logs and exceptions recently of the past 6 years and an enormous amount of bugs are caused by methods/functions that have multiple parame

I hope not. Not for me for sure. Every time someone downvotes me it literally makes me feel like shit for like a day. This includes reddit as well. I’m not saying I’m looking for upvotes and I’m not on Facebook so it’s not about being “like

I’m just not comfortable with this. Maybe I’m just getting old and maybe I have seen too many movies but I feel uneasy about our children and maybe us having another “grade” put on them. I’d like to think this would be good so maybe some on

I am not averse to new formats. I am averse to formats that try to “unify”. And yeah I don’t have a problem with XML or JSON. Those two combined with some flatbuffer other men binary protocols cover most of my use cases... like really what’

The nice thing about standards is that you have so many to choose from. - Andrew Tanenbaum Computer Networks, 2nd ed., p. 254. I think all developers go through some experience where they want to just "unify" everything because

I totally understand that but does the government say something or have an official stance? Or is it just inherently implied not to question them. I have to imagine they say something like "we are doing this to protect" etc. etc.

Well I don't know for sure hence the question. I mean I'm used to the United States where almost anything the government does the government has an answer for it (albeit probably not good answers). I guess in large part the free p

Honest question: Just curious on how China explain this to its citizens? Or do they not even explain it and just do it. Is it similar to USA where we say its to catch the "bad guys". I guess they could argue they are "protect

Yes I meant we can't see or go there because it's expanding / moving faster than we can get there (light).... I'm still not sure if I'm completely wrong or just misunderstood (given the downvote).
