Middle management gets reorged almost as frequently as the engineers. So they have little to no incentive for long term viability of the code either.

Seems like the medium is the message here. There's nothing interesting in the content of the article, but that The Hollywood Reporter is saying it is what matters. It's a signal to Hollywood types that it's now OK to talk abo

AFAIK, King spun Defold back out as a foundation.

It’s cool to see this mentioned. I worked on the editor back in the day. It’s actually the second IDE for Defold. The original one that we replaced was built on Eclipse. A team of about 6 people replaced the IDE core and built a dozen tools

Both use immediate mode rendering. Both have the “single header” design. There doesn’t appear to be any shared implementation. The examples use Raylib as a renderer behind the layout engine. I suppose it would be possible to use Dear Imgui

I've long believed this to be the reason that component-oriented software never went anywhere back in the 90's. You could make _some_ money selling components. But you could make _tons_ of money selling a walled-off set of pre-int

The only RPi "thing" I could see was the tricolor triangle at the start of one of the videos.

Did I miss a step in the article? The headline is about Raspberry Pi, but the example says x64 and uses UEFI. AFAIK the Pi doesn't use UEFI.

I have found that git makes a lot more sense if you reverse the mental model of lineage. People think about a lineage going forward . But a more useful way to think is in terms of backward pointers. A commit points to it's parent(s)

It uses Circle.

I don’t think the main point is that these are exactly the increments. Rather, that it _is_ a series of increments where each step builds on the ones before and enables the next ones. It’s also illustrating the iterative loop from tech vend

You can definitely use Datomic in the way you describe, in at least a few different ways. I haven't often seen queries stored in the database itself. It's more common to have the queries as data in the application. Since queries a

They're the default keys because a lot of programs use the GNU readline package for line editing.

Not sure if this is still supported, but Roam used to have an in-app query interface. You could use the JS console to run Datomic style Datalog queries.

I can’t comment on whether this is blind following or not. But it’s a real fact that the market will punish you less for layoffs when others are doing it too. It’s like how the best time to reveal a scandal is after someone else has reveale

I read the GP a bit differently... I didn't read it as saying obfuscation is evil, just that it is ineffective. More like "obfuscation can't prevent reversing, therefore it's not a valid security practice since all it do

"At its heart, our intervention is simple: it involves repeatedly approaching and talking to strangers." So... the "intervention" to help people gain confidence talking to strangers was to have them talk to a bunch of st

I used to run this on my home network. It was pleasant and occasionally useful. The code was pretty unstable though, and the project looks totally unmaintained now. E.g., the “news” link redirects to a vacant domain. Sourceforge complains a

Yes, you’re correct and that’s a reasonable interest. I also realize that I worded my comment in a needlessly obnoxious way.

I'm not with IKEA but I've been part of other ontology exercises. Off the top of my head, they are a retailer with physical stores and distribution centers--which could both be categories within the concept "location". T

I don’t think they claimed it would work for everyone. Or indeed for anyone else. Seems like it's just saying "this is what we do." (Edit: removed needlessly snarky wording.)

Great to see this return! I had assumed it was just dead for good.

If you expect high inflation, isn’t it a rational action? The nominal debt will be easier to pay with devalued currency received as inflated wages.

I hadn’t seen that post before. This paragraph hit me as a tragic irony: ‘This seems to be true, but the curious thing is that I’m never involved. The government commits a crime, the New York Times prints it on the front page, the people on

It happens the way anything else gets abandoned… not enough contributors. Many of the libraries mentioned in the comments here were created by one person. When that person loses interest (or gets a new job!) the library goes stagnant. It’s

The importance of those Interop conferences cannot be overstated. Even the simplest, most precisely worded standard will always be implemented differently. Those conferences were a very smart way for the customers to apply pressure to vendo

I had a similar course using the 68HC11... but that was in 1991 or '92. I am (pleasantly) surprised to hear that this kind of class is still running. Haven't done embedded for a long time, so I don't know if the 68HC12 is cur

Congratulations! I've seen some Factorio and Satisfactory players' videos about this game. Looks really impressive for such a small team.

Physics degrees were the gateway into data science before there was such a thing as a data science degree. So it's possible that he works as a data scientist but was trained as a physicist.

I'd really like to be able to say "I like this _kind_ of thing, just not this specific one." You know, just because I don't like "Valerian", I still enjoy sci-fi. Thumbs-down on a video seems to remove the whol
