You can fake gamma correct blending quite cheaply in the fragment shader. Just square the RGB values before blending them, then sqrt the result before storing it. The visual impact is significant for fast moving items, there's a higher cont

All other things are not necessarily equal, even if co-located teams did perform better people with the required skills might not be willing to relocate.

I'm questioning the hidden assumption that everyone should work five days a week. If the guy really wants to follow his passion a better solution would be to work (at a reduced wage, sure) part-time and thus have more time to work on his ow

Why does it have to take 40 hours of your life every week? Why not less?

Commutes are less mentally draining if you're riding a bike though, you'll actually gain energy for working on challenging problems instead.

Not a bad idea, but maybe we should also educate the people living in the wealthiest nations to consume less and have more sustainable life styles? 80 percent of the world's natural resources are spent by the wealthiest 16 percent after all

The number of children between 0-20 has been rather steady for the last decade or two, the only reason the world population is growing is that the average age is increasing, not that an ever increasing amount of children are being born. Eve

I think a lot of people will be more productive under basic income by working on things they're actually passionate about rather than compromising (with a 9-5 office job where they're paid mostly to show up and play the game of appearances)

Whether it's faster or slower to understand depends on how well the reader is able to grasp abstraction and pointers. For some the latter code might be more readable since it has less special cases.

Personally I don't really see what's unclear about foo(a ? b : c) In fact, I'd say your "trick" with using boolean operators on non-booleans that way is less readable.

I'm surprised that no one thus far has mentioned that message passing is just a special case of multiple dispatch. In that light, it seems less expressive. Any thoughts?

Were you actually only 60 % as productive? Otherwise it seems like a bad deal.

Well, the article quotes research saying that knowledge workers only have six good hours in them. They need to fill the rest of the time somehow to not go insane.

There is something wrong if they demand that you work more than 40 hours a week though.

Why can't we have the expressiveness of CL or Haskell with the performance of C++?

Open office plans seem to be considered "hip" these days. The fact that it's cheaper probably also makes it easier for the founders to ignore the lessons from Peopleware.
