"Instead, they’ll be reminiscing about watching a Twitch streaming millionaire child screaming racial slurs as he rail-guns his opponents on Fortnite." This perspective is reductive and insulting. There are many great, wholesome c

"The new shadow terminator offset setting helps you to avoid shading artifacts with smooth normals on low-poly meshes." THANK GOODNESS, man those shadows always looked so ugly. I primarily use EEVEE so this makes me happy.

For context: This seems directly related to the discussion that went on with the Hey iOS app yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23552760

I think in this case, the hypothetical lawsuits would be between companies that make iOS apps and Apple. The companies that make iOS apps want to have their own payment system where Apple doesn't take a cut.

I think this is a valid point, but one consideration that feels missing from a lot of these kind of disucussions is to what extent the economy will "come back", even if every restriction were lifted. If people are afraid to be in

A bit tangential, but this reminded me of Dexter Holland [0] the lead singer and songwriter of the band The Offspring. He went on to get a PhD in molecular biology (not an honorary one) and publish various papers about HIV. [0] https:&#x2F

Haha, there is always one :) I feel like trying out various languages/frameworks would affect compsci labs a lot less than other fields, since the students probably have some foundational knowledge of languages and have already learned

I don't understand this comment, what are you suggesting Google will do? Surreptitiously insert code into your binary during a patch? If you are running in Google cloud, its their machines and they have power to do pretty much whatever
