Re:Unity, now valued at $6B, raising up to $525M on Friday July 26, 2019 @10:25AM (#20535016)

Okay, so most of us are aware of Unity vs Unreal battle. Are there any other engines which are being used or worth checking them out?

I heard a lot of good things about Godot Engine: https://godotengine.org/

Someone also mentioned here Grid Engine (which I never heard of): https://www.planimeter.org/grid-sdk/

Re:Happy Birthday, GNU: Why I still love GNU 35 years later on Thursday September 27, 2018 @12:17PM (#18085906)

It seems that my post was pretty much ignored - unfortunately. I also asked the same question on r/learnprogramming. There are two recommendations: Safari Books and Pluralsight subscriptions. I used to have Safari subscriptions for few years so maybe I will give Pluralsight a try. However I am not sure yet.

I apologize for being an ignorant for so many years but... who is the OpenBSD target audience? In which areas it is the most popular OS? I worked with Windows, GNU/Linux and macOS (OSX) but never tried OpenBSD.

I know the title sucks but I have no idea how to say it better in just a few words - sorry for that.Here is my situation - my current employer is giving every single employee around $1k per year for "self development". It can be almost anything related to IT or self development in general (for example learning foreign language). Some people buy hardware, online courses, licenses for IDEs or for...
