I think the poor reception by some is that the original statement comes off as a little dismissive of sexual abuse and the reason that many people are outraged over it. The individual cases and instances are usually considered to be symptoms of a larger pervasive issue with discrimination in the work place which prevents many from having an equal opportunity to compete.

To illustrate how some are reading it, one may read the above complaint as "working long hours at a desk job while people are literally having to choose between being sexually harassed or losing their job and potentially damaging their career's future with a harassment scandal". (Note I am not advocating anything here, just trying to demonstrate how it can feel condescending to have your plight diminshed by comparison)

Having friends within the game industry, I know how horrible it is to the workers that make games happen because I've seen the effects on the workers first hand. I think that a description of the abuse is quite effective without trying to compare it to another major workplace problem that many people face, as both can be a severe problem that need to be addressed; it's not a triage situation where one must be prioritized, especially when both problems more or less come from the same source; employers abusing their power to manipulate and control employees to further the employer's desires.

While I agree with your sentiment, I think it would be difficult for GitHub to open-source their product.

The limitation for them is obviously their enterprise offerings, which would be far less profitable if businesses could just roll their own GitHub instance.

I thought about it and couldn't come up with many SaaS companies that are open-source. Especially not with the same business model as GitHub.

I too would love an open-source version, but for the reasons above I doubt it will happen.

Both mentioned games are adventures where you need to overcome a challenge (condition) to get a reward (reinforcement) which could be the following part of the story or just an item.

Every single game design can be disassembled to its basic elements this way. Even the most artistic indie games are made from conditions and reinforcers.

i think that's a grossly sub-optimal arrangement. we got VASTLY more bang for our buck out of the ARPA guys like Minsky, McCarthy, Kay, Sutherland, etc than we ever did out of the gaming and entertainment industries, and we did it without exploiting the competitiveness and compulsiveness of children and children-at-heart

edit: to be fair, some games have risen to the level of high-art, but I doubt many artists are going to complain about the pay or the effort when they know that they have accomplished such a thing
> Though electric cars don’t need cooling grilles – batteries don’t get as hot and they’re chilled in a different way – many have them anyway to avoid looking weird.

This actually isn't true. Electric engines do indeed release a lot less waste heat than internal combustion engines, but they also can't tolerate nearly as high of temperatures. And since heat dissipation is proportional to temperature, their cooling requirements (ie radiator) tend to be similar. Perhaps a bit less, but comparable.

Teslas actually do have radiators; they're just mounted low, so they're less obvious. The same could be done in most other cars, although admittedly the electric engine might allow for easier flexibility of layout to accomplish this.
Are you implying some moral imperative here?
I was a Gmail user since 2004 or so, relying on the Web client. It was good, the message threading worked, labels were strictly greater than folder structure, and archiving to "all mail" is an excellent notion.

The web UI has gone to crap lately, it being overly bloated, not refreshing inbox anymore after a while, getting rid of plain text (though this was a long time ago). The message composition editor is a mess!

I tried gmail with mutt, I tried gmail with mu4e. They didn't quite replicate the good bits what I wanted. To overcome the psychological barrier I changed email vendors and jumped to mu4e workflow with a fresh start. This is readily a better experience and since I didn't have to worry about fully replicating the Gmail experience I was able to "settle for less".

Another commenter mentioned your tone, but you're right about what I think is your general point, identity politics is a political codeword for the "catering to the needs of minorities" that specifically democrats and other leftists do, not politics tied to any identity, which sort of includes a lot of politics in general.
Yale Lock to acquire smart lock maker August Home
If you’re against GNU and Linux like I am then it is very much merited.

I utterly fail to see how being honest and direct by expressing my irritation is rude and am both insulted and appalled by what I perceive to be the Anglo-Saxon definition of rude hoisted upon me. I could just as easily turn this around and say that your lack of consideration for what is a different value system is just as rude. The entire argument around “rudeness” is nonsense, I’m not at all sorry to write.
The reason you have a hard time with it is because often the skills acquired through disciplines in the arts are less tangible then something technical.

If nothing else, you might be more interesting to work with, have a clearer communication style, better taste in evaluating what "looks good", etc. etc.

These aren't a substitute for skill, but past a certain skill threshold other things start play more significant roles.

This was puzzling about "there are not enough women in games development" fights. It is not a good job and it is not good for you trying to work in games. Most people leave the industry in five years - they leave the industry not just a job.

The question is not why women dont go there and how to get them in. Chances are, they do a good guess about what it will be like and nope out. The question is why the hell men put up with all that and accept all the crap without even trying to negotiate.
Quite honestly Vagrant will do all of that for development.

Sexual harassment and assault can have that effect to.

Let me kindly suggest you not turn this unfortunate point of comparison into a hill to die on. It sounds incredibly insensitive, at the very least. Doubling (and tripling) down on it is not helping to clarify your point. It is merely digging your grave deeper.

You don't actually have to handle it that way if communication is the goal.

Best.
I just bought one, yes. I drive a back road (UK, so lots of bends and also 60mph) for a fair part of my commute and the last time I came around a bend to see a car half in my lane, was the last straw. At least if I die in a 60mph head on collision I want proof it wasn't my fault.

I purchased a nextbase 512gw second hand for £70 vs about £150 new. Seems to be working well, the auto segment lock (hit a bump, it flags the recording segment to not be overwritten) is a bit sensitive, but it does seem to be learning a bit. It doesn't auto-lock as often anymore.

It's rather annoying that it expects to be always plugged in however.
The title in Nature: “Programmable base editing of A•T to G•C in genomic DNA without DNA cleavage”

A brief description of what was accomplished (a modification of cas9): “We evolved a tRNA adenosine deaminase to operate on DNA when fused to a catalytically impaired CRISPR-Cas9. Extensive directed evolution and protein engineering resulted in seventh-generation ABEs (e.g., ABE7.10), that convert target A•T to G•C base pairs efficiently (~50% in human cells) with very high product purity (typically ≥ 99.9%) and very low rates of indels (typically ≤ 0.1%).“

Translation: they modified the CRISPR associated DNA editing enzyme, cas9, to “deaminate” (remove or otherwise alter the amino groups) in A-T or G-C pairs without breaking the DNA, as cas9 normally would.

This makes single point precision edits possible, but I’m not sure what that implies for the “guide RNA” cas9 needs to know where to make the edits, as I haven’t read the paper in full yet.

Sorry, this is just too much of an absurd stretch. You could describe a book of pulp fiction in a similar way - you have to put in effort (read and turn pages) to receive a reward (entertainment).
The straight to the point answer is yes, you can use less bits to encode the same range, though for practical matters you'll get strong banding as a result. That is because the log curve applied to make the range viewable on a screen will stretch the lowest part of the range. Moreover, the multiple passes made in the linear (wide) range will produce artifacts viewable in screen space much more quickly.
The article doesn't make it clear what this support looks like. If it's optional and complicated, people are not going to use it. And if it's different than what ProtonMail uses internally, all the promises about security might not apply.
That is a bad analogy. Supply/demand ratio of musicians is way higher then for developers.
I love the answer Gene Roddenberry gave regarding a bald TNG captain.

At a press conference about Star Trek: The Next Generation, a reporter asked Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry about casting Patrick Stewart, commenting that "Surely by the 24th century, they would have found a cure for male pattern baldness." Gene Roddenberry had the perfect response.

"No, by the 24th century, no one will care."
I work in healthcare, it really is not 4x the pay, at least not in Belgium.

Full page modal asking for me to sign up. Medium has jumped the shark.
I don't know if this is necessarily a consensus, but I think expecting a game to be endlessly fun to be good isn't really the sort of standard we should be holding games to. Other media such as writing or film doesn't promise to be endlessly entertaining, and ones that might are more like engaging in sport, which I would say isn't necessarily entertainment in the same way.

I think there are a lot of players that see the Skinner Box-like mechanics popping up in mainstream works, and are increasingly turned off by it too.
I wonder what the point is of these crazy hours. We are encouraged at work to not make overtime too often because it decreases code quality. More of a "go home, come back fresh" tomorrow.

As a consumer I also rather have games delayed than delivered in the EA style, full of bugs.

But I might be a more understanding consumer as I work in IT. I really do doubt these hours have a positive impact on code quality though.

This feels like a weird "Mainframes are making a comeback", submarine article[1] targeted at people likely to buy stock, especially the "Mainframes Today" section.

And there's always more wide-eyed youngsters that want to make games. That's why individual game developers have very little leverage to push back. If they want to end this sort of treatment, they should form a union. That's how you deal with situations where employers are exploiting employees with very little individual leverage.
Jam.py framework version 5 released
> Even though game prices have remained the same for a couple of decades while games become vastly more complex (and hence more expensive to make).

A decade ago I paid 40€ for a game, and maybe 20€ for an addon.

Nowadays I pay 60€ for a game, plus about 60€ for DLCs, plus another 40€ addon, and I'll also have to pay for microtransactions to circumvent the blockades the game constantly throws at me.

How have proces remained the same?

And this is in a field of the industry where games just got easier to make, because, instead of building custom engines they're now all using Unity or Unreal, and delivering cookie-cutter content.
Good. Space Time Quantification (STQ) theory predicts and justify the existence of dark matter particles. It can also predict and justify how all elementary particles react with each other. It provides the equivalent of a mendlejev table for elementary particles. These are conclusion based on the single premice that space measurement is quantified by a unit a.

The Neko Programming Language
Does a company have to open source their entire product to meet with your approval? It sounds like you're completely unaware they do open source large internal projects and hire people from community projects.

EDIT: also, Git is completely open source, and all of the data stored on GitHub can be exported. A lot of other tools even import data directly from GitHub. There's literally nothing stopping people from moving except that they want to use it.
Internal investigation into alleged incidents reported by US media
The game industry pays pretty badly for the first few years when they can expect people to work out of 'passion'. However if you're one the handful of people that can thrive in that environment and move past the chew up/spit out stage and become one of the senior engineers that actually keeps the ship together then the pay can be very good.
Humor should be a good target for machine learning, since it's less intuition based and more based on repeatedly trying to be funny and gauging people's responses all the while.

Though it seems more "human" than some of the other ML tasks (eg be the best at Go), I wouldn't be surprised if comedy ends up being a highly successful application for these algorithms.
If you skim the common gaming websites and their comment sections you will see that your sentiment is not shared across the audience. Lots of people like to make a fuzz about delays and 'those stupid people not getting their shit together in time.' These people might be the vocal minority, but they are getting heard by management + developers alike.
Especially when following a meaningless statement like "Can run 1,000 concurrent NoSQL databases." It's one thing if you're just trying to be cute, it's another if you actually are technologically clueless about a product you are legitimately pitching. I imagine some broey sales guys pulling this off 30-40 years ago, but these days even non-technical executives understand that tech strategy is anything but hand-wavy commodity.
Dave Schools
I'm curious about the companies where the author has worked, because they must be using a lot of open source libraries internally. If the author's GitHub profile is completely bare, then it means they've never forked a library to fix a bug, or added a new feature and submitted a pull request.

I don't care if you don't do that in your spare time. I don't know what languages or frameworks the author uses, but I probably won't hire a Rails or React developer if they'v never contributed to any open source projects. If they've never come across a single gem or npm package that needs a bug fix or a new feature, then they probably don't have enough experience.

That's what makes it fuzzy.

I would argue that the defining characteristic of a scripting language is the ability to execute scripts instead of generate binaries. You could then make a further distinctions between application scripting languages (the origin of Lua and Javascript) and general-purpose scripting languages (which are independent of a host application - think Perl or Python).

This distinction is not sharp: Today, Lua and Javascript are used as general-purpose scripting languages, people ship 'fakecutables', packaging script and runtime system into a binary, and even C++ has been used to script applications (physicists are silly people ;)).

But there's normally still a dominant usage pattern associated with a given language, so the classification is not entire useless.
Everything else is just really boring by comparison.

The bottom line is, each developer is responsible for showcasing their own skill. One of the best ways to do that is through sharing programs you've written on GitHub. If you don't want to do that, you better find some other way to show off to an employer.

If you are unwilling or don't have time to create a public code repo or your own blog/website, you should be willing to take a skill assessment test from the employer. If you aren't willing to do any of that, I don't know how you can expect an employer to gauge your skill. You can't just provide a reference and expect them to hire you just because someone vouches for you.

You may think it's unfair that you have to go out of your way to make yourself look good to an employer but...that's the way the world works. I think the misconception is that people think 'having a side project' means writing a prolific open source project. You can spend 1 hour per week on coding small programs and have a great GitHub profile.
