The gaming industry has treated their workforce very badly and yet they are still attracting the best because it remains a "dream job" for many. I remember reading somewhere that the same kind of thing happens with airplane pilots.

That’s putting it squarely.

Despite the corporate crust one has to deal with when playing a Ubisoft game, I do enjoy how hard they go on Diversity, Equity & Inclusion. The seemingly endless flow of bigoted tears that follows is priceless.

This neither funny nor informative. You're just antagonizing for the sake of it.

I hope you work in a field where worrying about your integers hitting larger values than 9 quadrillion is justified.

The JavaScript Number type is implemented as an IEEE 754 double and as such any integer between -2^53^ and 2^53^ are represented without loss of precision. I can’t say I’ve ever missed explicitly declaring a value as an integer in JS. It’s dynamically typed anyways. There’s the languages people complain about and the ones nobody uses.

Floating-point arithmetic is important to understand at least vaguely since it’s a pretty leaky abstraction. Fortunately, we don’t need a "✨Member-only story" on Medium to get acquainted with the underlying concepts.

That’s a 1 month old thread my man :P

Not sure what you mean. The thread was created August 16, my comment was made August 21, and now here you are replying on September 24. Some fediverse hiccup maybe.

So anyways I don't have anything a cursory search wouldn't turn up.

I was wondering if indirect cannibalism (human eating pig that ate human) would be dangerous... then I realized indirect cannibalism is always because we all return to the earth as we are fed by it.

Salamander (Life Force in the USA) is an arcade scrolling shmup developed by Konami in 1986 as a spin-off of Gradius.

I never actually played. I just enjoy that artwork 🔥

 

Young artist with inspired angsty compositions. They have an EP out and I'm hoping they eventually get around to dropping a full album.

 

This one has a special place for me. The lushness and the other-worldliness is so appeasing.

It’s March 14th! An excellent day to eat pie and do maths. I might brush up on my geometry and try the NASA Pi Day Challenge.

Whole album's a banger. Sort of Sonic Youth vibes except I don't get bored halfway through (sorry Sonic Youth fans 😬)

Northvolt (oui ce Northvolt là) prépare une nouvelle génération de batterie supérieure à la lithium-ion, alors même qu’on vient de leur payer une fortune pour qu’ils bâtissent ici une usine de batteries… lithium-ion. J’espère vraiment qu’elle sera pas déjà obsolète avant de lever de terre.
