Fortnite and Minecraft are huge ip though.

I don't think of the style as dated. If you think of Portal 2 as a continuation of the style on a tangent, it's just heading in it's own unique direction. Portal 2 still feels far ahead of today's AAA games in various aspects.

Comparing the HH style directly to other FPS just doesn't seem right.

I have the MI A2 (~$230). It's spec'd very similarly to the Pixel 3a and has stock Android. It's been available for almost a year now.

Do you have a portfolio site? I had a 5 year hiatus from dev work and got a high paying software job within a year of trying.

1. Read numerous hacker news comments for advice.

2. Did freelance work for cheap but targeted jobs that I could learn highly desired skills (React, webpack, etc..)

3. Built a portfolio site with freelance work examples.

4. Applied to tons of jobs and got one.

I also had to try extremely hard and live in Seattle which helps too. To be honest by the sound of your post your mind set is in a not so great place which is understandable.

Perseverance

I don't have experience with Dragon or Siri, but Google Assistant has been improving at a noticable pace and for me seems seems to recognize at least 90% correct.

I'd assume (hope) they mean to infer data and not invent it.

Was on pololee's team as well. We were all crushed because the team was only a few months old and were we just all getting to know each other well.

Wouldn't the loss of close integration between Google's ads business and services decrease their respective values though?

This couldn't be farther from the truth. More speed means more page views means more ads seen means more revenue. Walmart Amazon plus others have done studies showing faster load times translates directly into increased revenue in there retail.

Ya this kinda sumarizes the Crux of the problem pretty well. I'm getting a bit worn with seeing anti JavaScript what nots on HN. It's here to stay guys for better or worse (and will proceed to consume UI development _everywhere_)

That last tip is so clever! I'll have to remember that if I ever want to undergo such a project.

XFCE is a true productivity DE. Gives you a few simple basic apps, and does a damn good job of managing windows. I so wish I could use it at work..

Huge amounts of fragmentation in the dev community for one.. there were several major forks.

I appreciated the novelty as well, fast forward many years later and I'm doing a bunch of Googling figuring out how to disable the fancy animations on the work issued osx laptop.
