Good read on this issue:
Iâve been programming for 15 years now. Recently our industryâs lack of care for efficiency, simplicity, and excellence started really getting to me, to the point of me getting depressed by my own career and the IT in general.
Modern cars work, letâs say for the sake of argument, at 98% of whatâs physically possible with the current engine design. Modern buildings use just enough material to fulfill their function and stay safe under the given conditions. All planes converged to the optimal size/form/load and basically look the same.
Only in software, itâs fine if a program runs at 1% or even 0.01% of the possible performance. Everybody just seems to be ok with it. People are often even proud about how much inefficient it is, as in âwhy should we worry, computers are fast enoughâ
Youâve probably heard this mantra: âprogrammer time is more expensive than computer timeâ. What it means basically is that weâre wasting computers at an unprecedented scale. Would you buy a car if it eats 100 liters per 100 kilometers? How about 1000 liters? With computers, we do that all the time.
Look around: our portable computers are thousands of times more powerful than the ones that brought man to the moon. Yet every other webpage struggles to maintain a smooth 60fps scroll on the latest top-of-the-line MacBook Pro. I can comfortably play games, watch 4K videos but not scroll web pages? How is it ok?

You would think with silicon manufacturers brushing up against the actual physical limits of how small they can fabricate microprocessors that people would realize you canât just rely on computers to keep getting faster forever.

Dang how many more characters are we getting with this. Should I expect playable Beedleâs grandad?

I didnât even know Level-5 had operations outside of Japan.
According to multiple sources familiar with the matter, both Level-5 International America and the companyâs spin-off office, Level-5 Abby, began winding down operations in the middle of last year, part of which included laying off the majority of both officesâ staff. Sources say that no clear reason for the lay-offs was given, though those connected to Abby say that employees were âgiven every indicationâ that the studio would be closing down, with one or two employees remaining for a few more months to carry out essential functions throughout the process while the company consolidated its business between the Japan office and international advertising and branding company Dentsu.

can i just ask⌠who is this for?? 180 dollars for a handful of âprestigeâ indie games people usually only buy on sale, only for PS4, with no art book or interviews or anything like that⌠just ps4 discs. i guess this is limited release but still⌠so depressing to me.

Saddest of all to me is thinkinh about the people who say theyâre so hyped for that and then end up finishing 2.25 of the games in there.

Me but not me.
It is a nice set. It is nice to have a physical collection of things. The internet or harddrives or servers canât take them away.
I found it appealling even if I wasnât the biggest fan of all the games. But I got blurays in this room I am not the biggest fan of.

yeah but blu rays are a bit more universal/can be played on a lot of things. these are specifically only for ps4, a system that is going to be out of date by the time these are released

I would like a KRZ physical edition if it came with stuff designed by Cardboard Computer.
if it came with a copy of what you are getting wrong about appalachia maybe
actually that would be kind of great

This guide focuses on getting high quality output from scanners and also goes over standards that are used by VGSC (Video Game Scanning Collective) for their archival scanning project.
This just launched. Might be useful for anybody that has stuff they want to scan? I know I want to get another copy of Digital Devil Apocalypse and a scanner some day, remove the pages from its binding and scan them properly.

Never did I expect Burger King to get involved. This is a complete wild card because I donât think theyâve had a new console promo like this. These console wars are heating up.
By the way, whatâs the general opinion on Burger King these days? The only one near me is walk in only so I havenât been to one years. I used to love that long, sub like chicken sandwhich of theirs.

I didnât think much of Burger King when I last visited one for a game promo (the heady days of Sneak King), but as a fast food restaurant Iâm pretty okay with it now. The one major negative is that, Iâm not sure if itâs a franchise thing or just the one closest to us, but their ketchup has a bad consistency; itâs too runny. Dairy Queen is basically the same thing + better ketchup + all of the Dairy Queen desserts, so I have a strong preference.

Man it was so good, until I bit into a vaguely tube-shaped piece of gristle in one and now Iâm vegetarian.
This promo is particularly interesting because the Burger King games have all been Xbox exclusives. The last one was for the 360, though.
