They used to be able to . I don't think they can anymore. The iPhone 6 was 3 years after Jobs died. Apple's corporate/engineering culture has had 12 additional years to rot since then. If the Scott Forstall situation, Chris

The reason they keep getting bigger is because Apple is rotting. When a tech company rots, it gets bloated. That bloat seeps into the products.

I just don't think he realizes how saturated it got over the years. Or maybe he knows at a conscious level, but not subconsciously. In 2000 (his era), it would have been really smart to study the source of Linux or Apache. Would have p

Mhmm... clearly that is not the right tool for the job!

If you look at one of the studio sessions between Drake and 40 (look up "100gigs" on youtube), there's this flow between the two, almost like an implicit language that they invented together, that lets them collaborate at an

Sounds like you're just lazy. Which is fine. You'll probably have a okay career. But not a great one.

This kind of stuff happens all the time. The employees in question are just incredibly bad at covering their tracks, normally they'd get fired and that would be it. It is fishy that OpenAI's leadership didn't have the watchdo

The author's base assumption, and stated motivation for doing this project, is wrong. https://github.com/StephenDev0/StikDebug For an undergrad project, I suppose it's fine to conveniently forget about the ex

Windows 7 was the last good one.

I used to believe this for like 10 years. And I never had any custom environment. But then I was at a job where I was forced to create a custom dev environment, because theirs was awful. And then I had to transfer my scripts to another mach

If I had the means, and if it was as convenient/pleasant as this, I would absolutely get an MRI every month.

Ahhhh. Okay. I didn't realize you meant game studios. Wasn't familiar with that "big 3" term until now. Thanks for clearing that up.

It's hardly the same thing at this point. For instance you could say Nginx is API-compatible with Apache, and yes that is correct (Maybe? Let's not split hairs here). But to go as far as saying Apache is state of the art and lin

It's not even baked into Google anymore.

Great talk. I'm glad he was wrong about this. Having js/wasm be the standard ABI would have been horrible. Obviously he could have never predicted in 2014 that Valve would pour a metric fuckton of resources into improving Wine&#x2

Same. I think I watched this 10 times when it first came out.

Okay, sorry. I retract that. I responded to the original comment saying "this", which implies that I would have said that myself. So... you got me there. As for the second part of your comment, well... yeah, I don't disagree

Entertainment isn't inherently valuable.

I touched a nerve huh? You wanna know another leading consumer? Recreational drug users. Lot of money in that industry.

Ok so now you're lying. I never said that.

I never said they are low skill. They just don't have their priorities straight. Those QA teams, automation people, production, level designers, vfx artists, tech artists, character artists, 2d artists, prop artists, gameplay scripters

That is precisely my point, thank you. Yeah there's a few good ones like Undertale or (early 2010s era) Minecraft or Roblox or Garry's Mod but those are rare. Most of the games out there are the types like Pokemon which are more l

Funny you mention Pokemon. Have you been to a Pokemon regional championships recently? Take a good look at the average Pokemon player. You really think that hobby is adding value to their life?

This, and also, if you just take a step back and think of the bigger picture, the work isn't valuable. There's a lot more value in pushing ads, a CRM, an email app, etc than keeping a 14 year old kid entertained. I don't real

by jhatemyjob 4mo ago
I agree with your sentiment but I think a fairer comparison would be: > Who is more valuable as individual, the owner of a watch factory in Vietnam or the guy who makes one watch a month in Switzerland? With that framing, I'm not su
