True, but only 26% said they were proud to have him as president (graphic at 0:51).

He could have shown us a graphical representation of a typical monitor gamut, and where the pink lies (outside). He could have told us something about the human (or other) eye's gamut, and explained how the pink fits into it. But no

I understand where you're coming from, but I stand by my previous posts.

Full disclosure, I never got professionally employed as a programmer / coder / software engineer. However, my Bachelors Degree was in CS, and I have many friends working in the field.

In the show Silicon Valley, Richard Hendriks is working for a large corporate entity but has an idea / personal project that he ends up spinning into a new company. He is trained as a software engineer (CS), NOT with any business or management background (MIS), yet he becomes sort of the de-facto boss / CEO (at least early in the show). He hires a small team to help him develop his product.

Given that scenario, I think the show portrays things very accurately or at least completely plausibly. He's a coder, not a manager. Programmers may understand the importance of formatting and style standards, but at least tend to not have the correct personality type to be comfortable with formally dictating those standards to a team (an activity which would generally be more in line with an MIS background).

Also, his company is small -- just a few other programmers. They are all specializing on different components of the product. So they generally aren't working on each other's code. Standards for function arguments / helper functions / etc. would have to be agreed upon to get their individual components to interact, but that is a separate issue from tabs vs spaces. It would be wise to set a style and naming convention standard and have everyone conform to it, I agree completely. But Richard isn't built for the manager / CEO position, so he either fails to recognize that or doesn't feel comfortable dictating standards to his team.

One more thing to consider is that he (Richard) essentially is the product. He's the keystone piece, the central figure. He's John Carmack, Linus Torvalds, or Steve Wozniak. Even in a very large team / corporate environment, I'd wager that more often than not the style standards that end up getting set tend to fall in line with whatever those key guys want them to be. Don't touch an id Software graphics engine without conforming to Carmack's way, or the Linux kernel without conforming to Torvald's standards. Especially if they are building something new from scratch -- which is again true in the Silicon Valley show scenario.

The show isn't a documentary on how to properly run a startup company in the real Silicon Valley, but it is generally accurate enough that it has a lot of nuances that people with a programming background can pick up on and be entertained by (even people that don't actually work professionally in the field like me). And more important, the general feel of the show can be entertaining even for people that know absolutely nothing about programming.

Hmm. I wasn't too sure about this. I love indie games that focus on gameplay/style/story, but don't have the budget for high quality art/graphics, so I was afraid this might just be copying the style.

Nope. The orginal won a 2014 cyberpunk game jam written in 6 days by two brothers, playable here:

I haven't played through it yet, but this shows promise.

Incidentally, it intentionally copies the styles on Blade Runner and Flashback.

Remember how in the 90s everyone just used the T-1000 style graphical effect everywhere they could lol

What game is this? The graphics are amazing! Although the clouds could use a little work.

Siniy and goluboy mixed up in graphic.
Should we trust the info about Wobé then?

NOTE: [spoiler]The movies are a sequel to the books. We can not expect things to be the same every single loop[/spoiler], and you are trying to fit a 7 long books into what... 3 movies and 2 TV series? Plus covering a bit of the graphic novels and expected changes...

EDIT: Appears the spoiler tag doesn't actually work, though it is listed in the FAQ... unless one can see one's own spoilers...

Well, the comic it comes from (The Dark Knight Strikes Back) is widely regarded as a bit of a mess (the art is pretty terrible and the story is all over the place). Shame, since it's a sequel to one of the most important graphic novels ever (The Dark Knight Returns).

And then there's the Goddamn Batman.

Basically, Miller is insane.

I was jamming out to your disruptor cannon track today. Nice job. WWhat is that you are using for the graphics. Can you use it to program your music into it?

Oh come on. Grown women, fully-dressed, consensually doing a non-sexually-graphic dance routine.

And can you expand on what "pseudo creepy" is supposed to mean?

Disney doesn't own "The Little Mermaid"... it's public domain, originally from Hans Christian Andersen's story written in the 1800's.

Disney might have a trademark on their graphic for "The Little Mermaid", which probably always has "Disney's" in it.

Please God, let this be as graphic as Jennifer Tilly and Gina Gershon.

Kerbal graphics have seriously improved since last I played.
