Without value judgement on the above quotes, I think Carmack is very much aware of his own lane and would say to take any comments outside it with a grain of salt. For instance earlier in the article, he states: >I’m trying not to use th

As had been said prior, there is an examination to be made around the influence Google & Apple have in the software space. However there is also the obligatory xkcd: https://xkcd.com/1357/

There's no such thing as cancel culture. The lack of self-examination and self-awareness is stunning in these types of responses of people who may have some problematic aspects in their lives. >But the cultural revolution has entere

Thanks for reminding me as I had forgotten. Still it seems a bit weird not to be able to discuss. Again, thanks for the reminder (I suspect others who read this thread may also be reminded). You are correct in saying some questions are bett

Thank you for calling out the downvote issue. I've refrained from asking questions for this exact reason. People should be encouraged to ask questions, even if from a position of lesser knowledge of the matter at hand. Those that do an

From what I gathered FTA it sounds like the author is putting forth the notion that Facebook is relying on old, mostly debunked theories around a "backfire effect" - when fact-checking increases polarization and results in the opp

My very first splice job I did on a song was with Kraftwerk's Tour De France. My friend and I wanted to extend the song so we could dance to it. So using a stereo system that had a cassette deck that could record from the turntable, I

A very broad answer to your query... sneakerheads run the gamut in terms of what they might look for or why they might want a shoe. A sneakerhead may want to have a shoe in their collection but never rock (wear) them, another shoe might be

Sneakerhead here. This is tangental but related. The core of Under Armor's problem is design. The market is simply not excited by UA's offerings. This cascades throughout their ecosystem - this app included. UA sells shoes, no que

I hate to say it but bunny-hopping exploits still exists in CS - although in a less extreme form. Super hard to do manually now so many people that do it are using scripts to accomplish the same feats. Don’t ask me how I know this.

I'm a fan of this take. Having the right mix, with good leadership, can balance out the worst qualities and enhance the best ones. Alternately, with poor leadership and allowing personalities to run amok, you can find a team in a toxic
