How big is your team? How do you code review? How do you unit test? How are you maintaining 3 year old blueprints? This will work just fine for small indie games and teams where the code is thrown out after a year, but there's no scali

This isn't really a solid argument since stockholder investment isn't even "money"; it's collateral in the form of market valuation against which Unity borrows. The actual "money" (dollars in a bank accoun

Yes, but it has many known limitations and isn't nearly as reliable as a runtime that has a full GC and virtualization optionality, which you really need in order to fully track what state can be evicted and what needs to stay.

Keep in mind that in addition to the "learning curve" arguments, there is also the functional developer ergonomics of things like live reload (where you can maintain memory state) that are simply not possible to do with C++ withou

Citation needed? Raw speed is likely similar; the cost overhead comes from GC cycles and the general approach to managing memory primarily in the heap vs stack, although C# can stackalloc if you're really diligent. Note that this is th

But you need to consider that so have hosting costs-- proportionately too. Hosting data was incredibly expensive 10 years ago. If the math was working then, it should at least be pretty close to working now.

Fastmail nets around $50/year (if you pay annually) for mail + your own domain, and if you don't need the domain, it's less. Another $50/year really isn't that big of a stretch for some people, but I can see how sav

Can you explain what is worse about link tracking? If you're explicitly making a request to a remote service, how would you expect it to not be tracked?

Getting good signal-to-noise ratio from ANY interview, forget the big cos, is really difficult. I've seen great programmers passed over because they were _not_ given a chance to whiteboard and show their technical skill. At the end of

This isn't an economic issue, it's an efficiency issue. There are 3 competing ideas: Fast, cheap, quick. You get to pick 2. We're picking cheap and quick because "fast" comes for free on a longer-term timeline. You

This is extremely hyperbolic, and I'm sure you know this. Here's how you set a variable in React: const foo = 1; What you're doing in your complicated sample is not _just_ setting a variable, you're also exposing it to a

Development on the MS side was just fine in the 90s for many people. If you were an open source developer in the 90s, maybe not, but then again, OSS in the 90s was pretty broken for _everyone_.

MS is contributing to Electron. They benefit, but so does the wider community. This is generally how OSS works.

They mean that the signing bonus is divided into two yearly payouts instead of one. It's a single bonus. I personally don't see what's wrong with a N/2N/3N... vesting schedule for post-IPO companies. You're buy

The SDK handles retries on failed requests. There is a little bit of extra legwork to actually do the slicing of a Blob, but you should be able to call createMultipartUpload(), uploadPart() x N, followed by completeMultipartUpload(). The SD

If your application is only using S3 to upload objects, the full SDK would probably be overkill. Using pre-signed forms is sufficient there. However, if you want to use other services like DynamoDB, SQS, or SNS, pre-signed URLs will not wor
