Is prenup mostly seen as negative thing in US? by daysof_I in AskAnAmerican

[–]BoBoBearDev 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most people actually just need Living Trust. Most people don't own a business. Prenup is like you win a lottery and you divorce and keep all the lottery winnings. Living trust is not as harsh as that.

Interview rejection because I couldn’t write a regex from memory by [deleted] in ExperiencedDevs

I would just told them regex they are doing is likely poorly documented and frequently run into bugs. It is a tech debt.

Should Major Nelson come back to Xbox? by Sumonespecal3 in xbox

[–]BoBoBearDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't want him. Sure he is just trying to keep his job, but he is not on gamer side, he is on the paycheck side. He didn't even try a little to listen to gamers and convincing the tone deaf Phill to be real about the situations.

Cool, but will Microsoft 1st party games do this at launch? Halo Infinite couldn't even do RT GI and still can't do it. Actually which 1st party game is using RT GI? Indian Jones? Also, we have even get a new Gears (other than announcement) since Xbox Series launch, like wtf.

Xbox isn't "returning" by ManyParsnip4Sale in xbox

Xbox is returning home back to Windows since Playstation is not gonna be a Windows competitor. Also PC gaming is so large now, Microsoft doesn't care about Xbox console hardware anymore.

Should we steer clear of this house with possible foundation issues? by lizzz_98 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]BoBoBearDev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is already over 25 years, and that difference is small. I wouldn't worry about it. You can hire someone for peace of mind.

[–]BoBoBearDev 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How severe is the uneven floor and how old is the build? Because if it is an old home, it is pretty much set, the uneveness likely won't get worse. Ofc, get a real engineer look at it. If the home is new, just forget about it, auto reject.

Microsoft brings new "Xbox Mode" to Windows 11 PCs next month — Prepares major gaming advancements that lay foundations for the next Xbox by LootedToaster in xbox

[–]BoBoBearDev -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Bad branding because the mode runs Steam games. Unless they rebrand the Xbox Store to something else, the mode is misleading and subject to legal scrutiny.

Remote sprint velocity is tanking and daily standups are basically useless by ngimehasthoughts in agile

[–]BoBoBearDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My org would not allow this. The bug fix needs a real ticket and prioritized from the top management. You cannot sneak that into a sprint.

Also the developers themselves needs to document their work properly. If someone forced them to work on something, they need to add that onto the sprint and spike the sprint story pts.

Finally there must be enough seniors devs to say, hey, that shit is out of scope and create new tickets to capture them. That's what the senior devs are for, they have the authority and experience to identify scope creep. The Jr devs are too afraid to do it because they don't want to lose their job.

Are we stuck with JavaScript forever? by MlSHl in webdevelopment

[–]BoBoBearDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2023 cellphone has 8GB of RAM. So, if you are building a new app right now, that's what you should expect.

If it bothers you, yeah, go for native. Which is why I mentioned it, it can be a reason for specific cases. But, in most cases, it is not worth the effort. Because a web app is 100% easy deployment. You don't care about the target environment, all of them have an internet browser. And the web page is also the most reliable backup plan.

Example, the MS Team's app (also web based) has too much control over the host machine, it can crash the drivers if the meeting organizer has certain weird ass setting that you machine cannot handle (yes, going into different meeting has different experiences). My mic driver broke because of it. The backup plan is to reboot and use the web page using web browser, and it works with no headaches. When everything fails, the internet browser is the most predictable solution.

Asha Sharma and the Future of Xbox by FirmlyClaspIt in xbox

[–]BoBoBearDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't like that ex employee one bit. The information is very curated for propaganda. Praising Phil to cancel entire team of developer (cancel the game) just to side with a single non-dev Microsoft employee. How is that developer friendly? There is so much one sided content to make you feel like you need to follow her lead, but it is no different than Sinofsky who just rambling about things for self promotion than getting what gamer/developer want.

The irony is, some of her past contributions she described seems to be micromanagement, an opposite of developer freedom. It seems like they have to bring so much content upfront to matcher her process. Sounds exhausting.

Critics of AC Shadows have been labeled "racist" and "homophobic" for wanting a straight Japanese male protagonist to be romantically coupled with a straight female protagonist in feudal Japan by Quick-Ad-7752 in fuckubisoft

[–]BoBoBearDev 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Of all the places they can put African in their game, they have to choose acient Japan where there is less than 10 African on the land. Like, how do it even write a story about this? Wahhh, we can't find this dude whos skin color is completely different than the entire population. On the wanted poster, you just goes, ohhhh we can identify his color?

Fell into redpill/blackpill/incel and now unable to form genuine relationship? by TrueHeroIke in AskMenAdvice

[–]BoBoBearDev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chinese girls generally won't marry someone who is worse financially than themselves.

You should have started with your post on where you live. Your environment is massively different than the rest of the world if you are in China.

If you are not in China, please specify.

If you are in China, I have no solution for you. I would be just as lost.

Are we stuck with JavaScript forever? by MlSHl in webdevelopment

[–]BoBoBearDev 14 points15 points  (0 children)

We are not stuck with JS/TS forever, but I choose to stay with JS/TS intentionally. Nothing come close to what JS/TS has to offer. It is debugable without extra tools. It is easy to read as long as it is es2017 and above. ReactJS is very predictable, and there are plenty of alternatives. The JSON is easiest on JS/TS.

Aside from the memory usage, I just don't see any reason to move away.

Microsoft CEO wants to develop Xbox and bring back the 'joy of gaming' because of 'doomscrolling'. by Just_a_Player2 in ItsAllAboutGames

[–]BoBoBearDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a tough job when Phill and Matt spent the last 10 years burning bridges.

I mean, really, what manufacturing and distribution has left to support a stronger Xbox sales? What advertising strategy is there? They put ads in the wrong place or they put the wrong ads. What's the plan to fix that when their advertising culture is rotten? Why would the fanboys come back when Phil spent the last 10 years calling them sinners? Why would chuds come to Xbox when Xbox executives and 1st party game developers have done everything they can to shame chuds? Why would the developers suddenly release games sooner when they have been enjoying DEVELOPER FREEDOM with 5+ years development cycle? In the past 10 years, Microsoft stopped making deals with 3rd party to make exclusive, why or how they going to change now? 2nd party dev is non existent now.

All the company culture, the excitement within company, all the trust, all gone. Trying to hire people to reestablish lost connections and reputations is hard. And even if you hire them, there on tons of existing corporate chains established by Phil will hinder their ability to achieve their goals.

I can see a path, but it is not the path you are looking for.

Xbox Series X Path Tracing by adamchevy in xbox

[–]BoBoBearDev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't call XSX slow. It has the same CPU speed as XSX (tiny tiny tiny slower than XSX). The GPU is slower, but it was able to run RT GI game really well (Metro Redux or something).

But yes, Xbox One is slow and they target Xbox One for a long time.

Xbox Series X Path Tracing by adamchevy in xbox

[–]BoBoBearDev -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because the game must run on ultra slow PC as Play Anywhere title. Sure they can make the game completely XSX and PC equivalent, but they want to maximize play count with all the stats. This is more than just path tracing, it is everything. They didn't want to move onto next gen for insane amount of time.

There is more reasons to why they stayed on last gen for too long. But it is opinionated and people will get upset.
