Rockstar's Game Design is Outdated
  • It’s the same “innovativeness” as Starfield; it’s not pushing the boundaries of game design or anything but it’s a tried and tested strategy that clearly lots of people enjoy and it makes them a lot of money.

    It’s not profitable? How? Rockstar is estimated to earn $8 billion from GTA VI.. that seems lucrative to me?

  • If you had to choose one programming language that you had to use for the rest of your life, what would it be?
  • Big Kotlin fan.

    Similar reasons to the commenter that talked about using a world class runtime, but the JVM is tested and works.

    And now I can use Kotlin to make cross platform applications, while still utilizing the Java knowledge that I unfortunately possess? Perfect!

  • What was your worst experience at work?
  • That’s awful, I’m sorry you had that experience— no one deserves to be harassed.

    I’m interested in understanding your attitude about fitness and the female gaze if you’re willing to discuss it. Does the attention still upset you? Do you find that members of all genders treated you differently, or just woman?

  • What does everyone do with their old electronics?
  • Could you elaborate on your video chat solution? That sounds super cool!

    Do you manually have to select the cameras, or do you have some sort of tracking system that switches the cameras as you move throughout your residence?

  • Overture maps is an open standard for Maps apps to compete with Google and Apple.
  • It’s kinda funny; everywhere I saw this posted had the same initial comments, “what about OSM?” Which I think is natural and good skepticism.

    Hopefully, they keep true to their word instead of creating the same problem.

  • Overture maps is an open standard for Maps apps to compete with Google and Apple.
  • So they actually are contributing / complementing OSM:

    Overture is a data-centric map project, not a community of individual map editors. Therefore, Overture is intended to be complementary to OSM. We combine OSM with other sources to produce new open map data sets. Overture data will be available for use by the OpenStreetMap community under compatible open data licenses. Overture members are encouraged to contribute to OSM directly.

  • Net on dying leaves of cumcumber
  • Yes absolutely, again just make sure to thoroughly clean your veggies before consumption.

    Also if the plant is healthy and has lots of leaves, you can remove the damaged / leaves with netting to decrease the mites repopulation rate.

  • Net on dying leaves of cumcumber
  • Spider Mites!!

    You can use something like Neem Oil, make sure to wash your cucumber before eating. Or you can just rinse the plant a few times a week making sure to wipe all the mites off.

  • What's the best advice you can give someone starting job in tech industry?
  • One of the best things a Senior Eng taught me was to understand and ask questions about every single line of code in a file you’re touching.

    It’s daunting, and time consuming but the rewards are vast and eventually it will be much quicker. Of course it’s easier to follow patterns and make quick changes, but it’s more valuable to fully understand what you’re doing instead of suggesting changes that should work.

  • [HN] Idiot Customers Will Accidentally Cancel Their Subscriptions If It's Too Easy
  • The number of steps to sign up should be greater than or equal to the number of steps required to cancel an account. Any more hoops involved in the cancelation process are specifically designed to get users not to cancel, which is predatory.

    Will the FTC support the consumers, or a cabal of capitalist businesses? I think I already know the answer, unfortunately…

  • What's your work like?
  • Very interesting that C wasn’t onboard with your ideas, they seem extremely fair and pretty cool? You’re willing to try alternative working schedules and ideas, while still producing good results? What did C have to benefit by tearing apart your plans and then reporting you to the feds?

    Regarding your current role, how do you like consulting? How has it been finding clients recently?
