I just saw this as a basic requirement in a job req: "Has shipped games across a variety of platforms on time and on budget" I've worked on ~17 games, and just 1 could be considered "on time and on budget." Not coincidentally, it's also the worst game I ever worked on. Not a viable requirement.

Alex Padilla is an American citizen of Mexican descent. The video of a Mexican-American being manhandled by thugs will play extremely well with the sort of trash who support Trump. Decent people are outraged. Shitty people with shitty values from a shitty culture are thrilled.

Why does this chord progression feel both audacious and inevitable? It's some circle of fifths sorcery, isn't it? youtu.be/HZgkkXBeUN4?...

"Museums are very popular in Europe. Europeans spend two to four hours a day at museums, especially art museums. That’s why Europeans are more sophisticated than Americans. By the time they leave high school, they’ve spent over ten thousand hours looking at oil paintings."

Alina Habba has created something called a "Special Prosecutions Division" to charge Donald Trump's political enemies. (This press release tells a third or fourth mutually inconsistent story about what happened at Delaney Hall.) www.justice.gov/usao-nj/pr/c...

I’m a little surprised to hear that people update iOS on their phones. It NEVER pays off. It’s always worse.

Something definitely happened to make Linux installation harder in the last 10 to 15 years. Maybe because drive space is so cheap now? Lots of people saying “don’t try to install on a Windows drive, just add a new drive.” (Not so easy on a laptop.)
