Hopefully that's not the client size

Depends on what you call "developers". I believe that most developers in the gaming industry still uses Windows as their platform.

I have been successfully applying Jonathan Blow principles into my side projects. It's been working great. If you are not familiar I highly suggest you to listen to a few of his presentations about software development.

Let's do a thought experiment: Imagine if a company had enough power to inject money into all of the major media outlets, to the point where they depend on this company to stay alive. Now, if this company threatens to pull the money out if the media outlet says anything that goes against it, the company will effectively have control over the opinions of all major media channels. This is obviously not acceptable in a society that considers itself "free speech". It's free from legal consequences but when you shut opinions down due to "other consequences" you end up with the same result. A muted society.

In the end it's your/our choice to choose Google for every single decision you've described. It's not like we can't do it without Google, we used to do fine doing the same things before Google. I think it's unsettling how many people choose to do almost everything using Google, Facebook, Amazon.

axe-core for accessibility issues.

Snipping tool on Windows solve your problem. No need for paint.

Article starts with jokes and it's hard for me to keep following as if it was a serious research.

Later they demoed they can track your interests in what you've read on the web to show you personalized news on their news app and keyboard autocompletion.

Stocks only went up because of Alibaba, Marissa didn't have anything to do with the price of the stock.

This reminds me when Steam created payable mods in it's ecosystem and received a huge backslash from the community. The thought is always that companies are greedy into milking more revenue from their customers.

However I feel this push back from the community (which you can also see here on this thread) ignores the fact of hundreds of hours a team of developers put into making the mod. Yes they do it for fun and not about money but I bet you they would rather make a living off of it.

I've once thought they could make a living with donations but the reality is that almost no one cares about donations. I believe one of the most popular addons of World of Warcraft (back in the Pandaria expansion), oQueue, only made 5 dollars in a month with donations. So the mod community in WoW had to rely on the ad revenue from the distribution platform (Curse).

I believe that introducing this type of system is beneficial to the longevity of a game. It supports the mod community to make a living creating what people are willing to play.

Thank you. I was really frustrated reading the article of this post as it was very vague about the actual scam.

Google officially stated that error rate is less than 50%, 95% is just making numbers up based on one or a few videos. When you look at the whole thing, there's still a lot to improve.

I'd buy it for SLI since I already have a Titan X and was waiting for the price to drop.

Tooling is a big chunk but it is not the main benefit of an engine in my opinion. There are so many optimizations and abstractions (think build, platform, gl, LOD handling, skeletal anim, memory handling for things such as landscape) done in your game to make sure it runs super smooth and beautiful at the same time that if you decided to do it yourself you would be working countless of hours to get to the first abstractions.

Majority: Brexit yes, Trump no.

Windows usually feels ugly if you have a bad monitor (which is pretty much 99.9% of the monitors available in the market today).

I've recently bought an Asus Rog Swift monitor and I couldn't be happier with Windows.

UI itself is just a matter of preference and I don't mind Windows 10 UI, you can hide most of the things you find ugly.

You known this is optional, right? You can turn it off during and after installation of Windows.

Also, Android and iOS + most of the popular apps you use, including the desktop ones, use some kind of tracking/telemetry and you don't even have the option to disable.

I believe that on Unreal Engine 4, you use C++ and it does have a feature that mimics "live coding" where it recompiles and hot-reload your game even while playing.

I think that the problem for quick and easy memorizations is that it could also be easy for an algorithm to crack it.

For example you have:

[qWeRtY4$] + [bananas] + [ibdlfsofxt]

If your password is exposed:

[qWeRtY4$] = remains the same for all passwords

[bananas] = remains the same for all passwords

[ibdlfsofxt] = changes for all passwords

Cracking the part that "changes" is probably not going to be difficult for a machine since you are associating the place name (hackernews or aws) with the part that changes (same number of characters). Then it won't take long for a machine to guess that you are replacing with the next alphabet letter or something else that is easy for a human to remember.

In that sense, I believe QWERTY cards are a bit more secure in this sense since it's just random characters assigned to each key, and each card is unique. It takes away the "easy to remember" part since you will have to look at the card, but it will be some orders of magnitude harder for a machine to guess it.

After multiple breaches, however, your encryption table might be exposed too. At this point you will have to change your passwords and get a new card. Probably do it every 3 months?

I don't know, sounds like a lot of work and maybe too paranoid, but I'm hopeless when thinking about password creation and making it easy to remember.

The thing is: If you password is exposed once in one site, the rest of your passwords could be guessed eventually. Unless if you take some additional steps to make it really hard for anyone or any software to guess your password. See other comments on this thread.

What if someone discovers your master password? Also: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-switch/wp/2016/09/07...

The only reason why this is challenging for me is because I use passwords not just when I'm home: I could use them at work, or on my phone (being anywhere - something probably not considered back in 2005?).

So having this list of passwords on a piece of paper (or whatever) becomes difficult since I'd need to consult it many times, leading to:

1. Higher risk of someone stealing it from me.

2. Higher risk of losing it.

So far, I've used some mental mneumonics to remember passwords (which is not safe since it can be easily discovered by a machine learning algo for example) + 2 factor auth.

I wonder if there's a better option though.

Your comment is the only intelligent comment on this thread.

Could you elaborate on "their lack of personalized content discovery"?

I'm usually on the fence of bringing personalized content on platforms where you usually want to remain anonymous.

Disable cookies and javascript. Use a decent browser such as Firefox, Tor. Use ddg.gg to search. Solved.

Exactly! I don't understand how Apple, known for being a pioneer in accessibility, does something like this. They might kill their keyboard altogether already.

This trend of killing hardware buttons needs to stop. It's very inconvenient. The sense of touch is important for me. It's one of the annoying things I don't like about many Android devices and it seems that Apple is slowly transitioning to this as well.

0 consideration for accessibility.

So, did they actually handcrafted each of the 100k+ characters? Probably not, but if yes, then I call it BS.
