Can't google this Goatee Spock Evil Dimension, link please?

Exactly, thanks for clarifying.

I've seen this behaviour where existing employees were forming a "cult" to cover each other, and promote one another, while technical debt piled up, and at the end basically brought products to a halt.

I'm not saying that VIP hire is some magic stick that will fix everything, but if they consider a taboo to even mention such a thing, this is not a environment to be in.

In scenario of:

- If you get the money and opportunity to hire really senior/well known dev to lead your eng. team, would yo do it

- Ummm no, we believe in our team, and their strong knowledge, there is no problem they cannot solve (or something along those lines)

Run.

I guess you worked at more mature companies / corporate settings. Or EU.

I'm from EU, and worked for NA companies, and got most of that covered.

"Blood samples had 5-6% unmapped reads compared to 7-18% in saliva. Evaluation of source of unmapped reads found that 0.54% mapped to viral species in both sample types. In contrast, 10.3% of unmapped reads from saliva samples mapped to bacterial species, compared with only 1% of unmapped reads from blood samples as expected1. This analysis represents, to our knowledge, the first comprehensive examination of WGS and WES data generated from blood compared to saliva. Our analysis shows a high level of concordance between the two sample sources, and as expected few somatic variants. This indicates that high quality sequencing data can be derived from saliva samples for germline genetic analyses." [1]

and

"SNP genotyping results for saliva derived DNA (n = 39) illustrated a 98.7% concordance when compared with blood DNA. In conclusion, when compared with blood DNA and tested on the DMET array, saliva-derived DNA provided adequate genotyping quality with a significant lower number of SNP calls. Saliva-derived DNA does perform very well if it contains greater than 31.3% human amplifiable DNA." [2]

Quake Champions - free to play on steam.

Quake Live also has very nice race mode, clone of defrag, and of course, defrag servers are still alive and have players on them!

Today RAGE2 got announced on twitter.com/bethesda

I immediately remembered John's stories about porting RAGE to iOS.

For a minute there I was watching at post date to make sure this wasn't an April 1st post.

Any known way to activate via some param or something?

In hindsight, I could have invested more time and figure out better one.

Its easy to check, just go to gmail and rewind to first emails you ever sent.

Thank you, you managed to perfectly describe what I was too tired to when posting this, few hours after midnight!!

Nice read, nice to see how different music scene is in US.

EU is much more electronic music orientated, and D.J.'s here are quite different, yet same, they do the exactly the same thing this article describes.

Just watch this repetitive, yet awesome 3 minute buildup, leading to total madness: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5-b33rhevQ

And that's just first clip that comes to mind.

Ping Coin or i'm out!

UPDATE:

Just to clarify, I do not have access to anything that you might call substantial money, nor do i plan to spend even 1/30 of my monthly income.

I just wonder what could I do if I spend my monthly budget that I dedicated to buying fun steam games and silly hardware (e.g. buying camera lenses even tho I shoot as total amateur 5 times per year)

I was just wandering what can i do if I redirect that small amount of money + utilizing some of my spare time and computers/programming knowledge.

But, as I was saying, I totally missed on the whole field, so I don't even know where to start.

I want to approac this as a developer, maybe write some software, maybe host some trading bots (is that even viable strategy?)

I will NOT spent any money or savings, rest assured, and I really do appreciate your concern! I can tell it was honest!

care to explain?

Actually, that sounds reasonable. Thanks.

Any prediction on what "new" currency could emerge, or will it be only ETH and bTC?

Many great answers, and many of them encourage people to try new things, and go and try to build new things and try stuff you don't know.

I like somewhat different approach, I would take some project I think its done well, and where I no longer see obvious room for improvement.

Then I would to go github and find same or similar kind of projects, ideally created by companies with strong engineering culture (e.g. Google) and compare how I did stuff to how they do it.

You would be VERY surprised to learn just how much other people would differently solve same problems you have been facing, and you can learn a lot from comparing other people solutions to something you are already comfortable with.

Items missing:

- IntelliJ IDEA

- John Carmack

Gotta appreciate sarcasm in this answer, take a [+]

At the moment I am not working at any side project, but occasionally I have idea or two, and I was just waiting for a right time to start working on them.

Reading this was quite devastating, not even started, and I feel like I already lost, even though my side project has next to nothing to do with my current industry.

So, imagine that in 2011, 5 years ago, you approach some VC and say:

"Hey, we are building this VR hardware and games for it, we would need ~1M to finish it".

I think that there is high chance that you would get some weird looks, and possibly few remarks how that is a "dead technology, tried once, and obviously failed".

And then, fast forward couple of years there is whole industry around VR, jobs, hardware, software, the whole eco system.

You only need one strong player in a field, and suddenly everyone and your neighbour kid is doing it.

Photoshop, and many other gfx software use GPU acceleration since 5+ years ago.

so true.

Upvoted, can't wait to hear some great comments and examples, because I too find this to be one of the most frustrating areas in my daily routine.

We, small gaming community were using IRC as matchmaking "service" where we would all add to a queue, and the bot would then create teams based on players ranking.

That worked quite nice, for ~15 years, and whole community was created, things worked quite nice, diehard users used BNC and terminals, but lately everyone is switching to Discord.

Main matchmaking is still on IRC, but other sub-groups migrated to discord long ago, and that scares me, because no one at the moment knows what will happen with Discord year or two from now.

Sadly, there is no plugin that can come close to the "jump to definition" functionality that IntelliJ have.
