The higher you climb the ladder of abstraction the less control you have.
This is why people like me are attached to lower levels of abstraction.
We love details because they allow us to do whatever we want.
Abstractions place a limit on our creativity.
I thought that masculinity is about doing things on your own and not relying on others to do the work for you.
Most programmers are merely Google search experts.
They preoccupy themselves with other people’s work.
They have very little work of their own.
They spend most of their time learning how to use other people’s tools.
They have to keep up with trends since tools change at a very fast rate.
Where’s masculinity in that?
Most programmers are sloppy coders – they make too many mistakes.
They write code without much thought so they spend more time debugging than they spend actually solving the problem.
How is that desirable?
At least thirty are women and sixty people are probably on the marketing side of the endeavor. The good old games didn’t have you stop gameplay for animation sequences…wtf! Still looks like they are using lower poly counts for most gameplay, with skins that make the forms look curvier. Back in my day, 700 lo-poly count was desired. I’m surprised there aren’t programs that make and render basic characters like the architecture programs that throw up 3-D buildings with a few clicks.
It isn’t, and that is why the easier it is to make programs and games, the better, more emphasis will be on the quality of the game itself- rather than the code.
There are, but I’m not sure how easy it is to fine tune them or create aliens. And it still takes a hell of a lot of work and energy to make Pixar movies.
Okay, but your observations started with the gaming industry, their games being mediocre so I latched on to that vein of the conversation since I know something about that. Until AI makes wishful thinking come true, PC operations, apps., and programs will be tedious with way more input needed to get a small output. That’s just the nature of the techno beast, the end product is the convenience, not its creation process.
“Truth is stranger than fiction.” Fiction leads us to non-fiction, since truth is stranger than fiction, we need the buffer of fiction to link one true oddity to another so that they don’t seem so weird, but why do people really believe that fiction is stranger than truth? Is truth too freaky to accept?
Oh, just ruminating on the nature of psychological human limits, perceptions, and intentional blindness.
Funny, I just came across a doc yesterday about a sand striker and it totally reminded me of Enemy Mine movie. It was like, wait, I think I’ve seen that thing before! That scene with the worm was really tense too (I think it was also a pivot point in the movie).
Also, according to that doc apparently some lobsters hunt and eat crabs. I guess it’s a crustacean eat crustacean world down there.
Buying maxi dresses and maxi skirts in silks and cottons… for the end of Summer garden parties, evening soirées, political lunches/meetings/events, charity parties, and club-based festivals I have yet to attend… I’ve not met Brandon Bloc before
Taking stock of two work out sessions with my stepfather who is a Democratic Christian. Today we each defined reality. His definition was from inside the personal, subjective bubble and my definition was based on a shared reality, but it wasn’t as intense of a conversation as Wednesday’s gym day was. Lefties live in non-reality and they really don’t want to deal with any aspects of reality that challenge them, everything is glossed over.
I’m wondering what’s next?
if I get out to socialise with my 2 buddies once a week, I’m good.
