bitJericho··on Netflix expected to spend over $6B on original and acquired programming in 2017
I felt that way too, until the ending. Every netflix show ends the same way. It was one checkmark too much. I really hope they start being a little more surprising.

bitJericho··on JPS+: Over 100x Faster than A* (2015) [video]
Prison Architect has dynamic maps and uses a flow system for path finding escape tunnels. Each grid on the map is simply given a direction telling the ai which way to dig, and its updated periodically. Each tile determines the best direction to direct the Ai and when viewed at a distance looks like a decent pathfinding routine. The benefit of this system is that you can cycle through the map over many frames, not every frame.

bitJericho··on Can I Talk to that William Fellow? He was so Helpful (2009)
It would take at least 3 or 4 months to even become good at customer service, if you had no experience. They probably wanted employees to be good at CS, for whatever reason.

bitJericho··on When Discs Die
They've been around for 5 years and good quality brands support them. Maybe they won't last, but it's a better gamble than a pack of cd-r discs from walmart!

bitJericho··on PICO-8 lighting, part 1: thin dark line
There's more to pico8 than just a bit of software. There's a community, a games database, updates and support. The alternative is ad based revenue, and quite frankly I and possibly others wouldn't use pico if it were ad based.

You're also free to sell your software, which you cant even do with unity without a royalty.

bitJericho··on PICO-8 lighting, part 1: thin dark line
Directing 30 kids to login and get authorized means an entire period of no productivity. And then you still may have problems the next day. Also there's legal issues with storing personal info about students.
bitJericho··on Why are all Windows drivers dated June 21, 2006?
Even those few almost always use an installer. Nobody's manually installing drivers except the hardcore enthusiast, whom this hardly affects.

bitJericho··on India floats the idea of a universal basic income
The point isn't to demand people not buy tvs with ubi, its just to make sure you can have the bare necessities and little else. If you can also buy a tv, good job. If done right, it should be hard to do that. Basically exactly like how welfare is now, just do that, but without any of the weird requirements that differ state to state. As fir medical care. All insurance should be made redundant. Universal healthcare works just fine.
bitJericho··on What cats can teach us about how to live
Dogs most definitely do feel love. Watch videos of soldiers returning from their tours. Watch how their children react. Then watch how their dogs react. Dogs have been bred to have strong emotions and empathy.
