What is it about game development field that makes it so labor intensive with consistent overtimes?

I tried to make a simple FPS game and it was astounding how much work was involved. Took 6 month of learning Unreal and Unity and gave up with a functioning prototype. Took 4 months of back and forth with Steam to list my game. Even harder trying to make money off it. I'm just in awe of Roblox, Minecraft, Fall Guy and all these other successes.

We all love games but not everybody gets to make em. It's insane how much detail and granted we take for all the flood of games we have out now.

It did make me change my stance on piracy. Somebody spent their sweat and blood bringing that game. We should pay for it what we can but won't be against emulation of retro ROMs.
It does, it is used for soft realtime related stuff (power, fan, errorlog, etc). Throwing BMC related activities in there is certainly doable, but it would complicated things to the point where another chip would be tempting.
I just stake decred. Years ago I was much more ambitious and after losing money in multiple exchange hacks, and then losing nearly everything again in the ethereum DAO exploit, I will never again leave coins around outside of my own custody. Few cryptos let you stake easily while maintaining complete custody of your coins

Last I checked, I averaged just over the current annual roi at about 5%, but back in 2017 roi was higher at like 7% so you can do the math to see how much I have :)

It's all a bit of a blessing and a curse though. The year I made over 20k staking, I actually paid ~35% tax on that without realizing any profit in USD but thankfully I had enough money to handle that
My first change would be to shift the burden of proof. Right now civil forfeiture includes a presumption of guilt. Switch that to a presumption of innocence and many of these problems would go away. That presumption of guilt is somewhat central to the civil forfeiture process, so whether this a a "reform" or "complete elimination" is a semantic debate. There are certainly some instances in which the forfeiture is just. The previous mentioned Madoff case is one example.
I was a Pivot - this article rings true. When I first joined people would often describe with joy how exhausted they were every single day for months when they first joined, as though it was evidence of learning and growth. That’s only true sometimes. What I realized is that it doesn’t actually stop being exhausting, people just adapt. There is a difference between being tired because I applied myself, did something meaningful and useful, and learned something new, compared to just being tired from navigating personal interactions all day every day.
Isn’t Tor designed to ensure anonymity despite a snooping exit relay? I thought that even if you compromise an exit you can’t do much without compromising the in-between relays.
running an exit node is a really bad idea.
someone is going to do something dumb on Tor and the local PD isn't going to know anything about Tor and will come knock on your door.
i used to run a relay and even that became too much of a hassle. first my bank blocked me (they block all tor traffic even from relays) and then my companies IT did an audit and saw traffic "coming from tor" to them and politely asked me to stop using Tor. that was the last straw for me, and i took it down.
Maybe people presume that corrections represent a political or ideological attack. After all, I've seen people assume that sometimes on HN, which tries not to be a space for political flamewars and dunking.

If you think that someone trying to correct you is likely to be a political opponent trying to score points, it makes sense that you would be vigilant and defensive.

https://www.lesswrong.com/tag/arguments-as-soldiers talks about one aspect of this where people might feel like they have to defend anything that "their side" says and dispute anything that the "other side" says.

Sometimes people online actively try to defuse this by adding some context expressing sympathy or a non-judgmental or non-confrontational attitude. (That is, assuming that they merely want to counter mistaken ideas and information, and not people who hold or spread them!) I wonder to what extent that works.
I wonder how long until I can run cilium on my mixed node kubernetes clusters!

Simply - no. Devices that are old enough which have no OS updates then... no. But any new device or already supported ones: yes why not. It's just an update from the manufacturer. You can even say: If the device is within EOL<1 year just update the DNS to the EU DNS. Other devices will need to have the option of choosing DNS addresses.

Another approach is what we do with cars: we don't ban ICE cars, we have different "tiers" (Euro5, Euro6) of emissions and phase them out. We can do the same thing. Any device manufactured after 2020 will need to implement this "feature". It will take a few years to propagate but it is a very feasible approach.

Cool, yeah I wasn't saying that your JS was good or bad, just the possibility of it being so. I'm with you, I think you're good at JS, but then I don't really know. And neither, in truth, do you. We're both judging.

I think you need to remain open to the possibility, not just of DK but of we all have something to learn. I think I'm pretty good at JS and have popular projects and good test scores, but I also fail some JS questions (the other day in the FB PE screen I couldn't work out that the regex /^sep\n$/g wouldn't actually match. I was confused and thought the newline was needed as well as the $. Haha. Just one example.) I try to give my self a rating of 7. Keeping open to the possibility of being wrong, is more important than being right or wrong. I can't really explain it right now (maybe one reason is it's super late here, another might be I just don't know how to explain it right now) but I feel that humility is important, more so the more you know and the better your skill. Somehow I feel more humility make your skill better, especially the more skill you have.

Thanks for your humble and vulnerable example, I appreciate it! It gives you great credibility. If you were more open to the possibility of things you don't know, and not so absolutist about your JS knowledge, I would have felt you were even more credible.

Finally, you have a blindspot. You can't see that you judgement of the JS skill was actually a judgement. Because you're so sure you're right about it. Ties in with what I said before about humble and open to wrong. Of course it's a judgement, it's a "you think" it's like this, not a "it is like this". There are other perspectives that are valid. I think if you see that, then it will make wielding this big sword you have an easier and more pleasant experience! :P ;) xx
I've been re-implementing Remedy functionality for a telecom operator around year 2000. They decided to go with custom software because Remedy was horrible. I wonder what kind of horribility it is now, 20 years later.
And we still have to use ITSM systems that look and feel almost exactly the same like 20 years ago. How it's possible, the ideas behind these tools are not exactly rocket science, simple ticket tracking with some standardized data structure and relationships - nothing that you couldn't put together in a month. I wonder why companies even buy these tools, probably you could have much better system developed for you and your specific needs for 10% of what it costs to buy certified ITSM system.

>> But if you're already growing enough to survive on, the marginal effort to grow a whole lot more than that is not so big

> I don't think this perspective squares well with the reality that starvation and malnutrition were realities for most people for most of history. I don't think it's just because they didn't think to do the extra bit of effort to generate a surplus.

There are different ways for something to be a reality of life. Starvation was a risk throughout history in a way that it isn't today. But it wasn't something that happened to people under normal circumstances. The historical norm involves paying a large portion of your crop as taxes. Starvation tends to happen to many people at once, due to bad weather or other inclement circumstances.

> If you do grow enough to have such a reserve surplus, you don't trade that away or else you starve during the bad years.

You do. You always grow enough to have a surplus. But you can't just sit on it indefinitely or it will rot. So you personally store enough for winter, part of your in-kind taxes go to fill public granaries (which need to be continually refreshed), and otherwise you attempt to dispose of any remaining surplus as you can, often by giving it away.
no, the midrange shot is exactly the shot that propels teams to championships, as the rockets of the past 5 years learned the hard way, so much so that d'antoni was demoted and harden moved on to a superteam with great midrange shooters (durant & irving). and as great as curry's shot is, the warriors are unlikely to make the playoffs this year. the midrange plays a specific strategic role, and teams pull it out especially for the playoffs.

the playoffs are all about effective shot selection, with the midrange becoming prominent because defenses tighten up arond the perimeter and the basket. lebron and anthony davis both explicitly featured their midrange game in last year's championship run. the clippers, incidentally, have the best midrange shooter (kawhi) and lost early last year because they relied too much on the 3-pointer. even the warriors of old used the midrange shot to keep defenses guessing enough to give their shooters space to shoot.

and that's exactly the issue with relying too heavily on analytics--humans aren't static, and pinning down the exact parameters where a model is valid is seductively elusive. mathematical models don't so much tell us about how the world is, but rather more about how the modeler sees the world. models aren't useless but they are limited (really knowing how is the hard part).

Ask HN: Anyone concerned about PimEye's Privacy Policy?
Given the recent article by CNN [https://www.cnn.com/2021/05/04/tech/pimeyes-facial-recognition/index.html] I had a look at their privacy policy and found this interesting tidbit:

The theories of everything stuff comes heavily from the academies as I understand it. Cadets go through a curriculum of military history that tries to look at everything since Rome from 100,000 ft altitude abstracting some hodgepodge set of exogenous principals of warfare.

The other part is these "theories of war" become vehicles for self advancement. These become almost cult like fads within the pentagon. Then a few years later the new fad takes over. Remember "Shock and Awe?" Don't hear much about that anymore do we...

There's one kind of tech that's good enough to protect your privacy from corporations that want to profile your behavior or keep you safe from malicious hackers who want to steal your data by luring you into digital spider nets.

Then there's another kind of tech (and tactics and practices) that could hope to keep you safe when you are targeted by state-level actors in both digital space and meat space.

Tor barely belongs in the former category.

Nikon made a mirrorless camera series (Nikon 1) that was very capable (the on-sensor AF was great). But they chose a 1" sensor (2.7x crop)

Canon's M-series was similar, they didn't go all in on "pro" features, instead focussed on a consumer market that was shrinking rapidly.

The problem wasn't the technology, the problem was the fear of cannibalizing their own DSLR sales.
I've seen a few success cases like this with technical works written over a short period of time. I think it's an achievement distinct from fiction publishing because you're tapping into a lucrative market and answering a need. Congrats nonetheless on the success. How much do you charge for a copy, and how much marketing do you do?
> I feel like I explained my thoughts on that in my previous comment.

Yes, you did. Sorry, it shouldn't have sounded so personal. My real problem is with the community in general.

> Basically if you're in it for the love of the gear rather than to make photographs that's fine, but your hobby is collecting rather than photography.

The thing is, it is a spectrum between pinhole photographers and gear heads. There are different optima for different people along the way, but fundamentally they all do the same thing: taking pictures. So where do you draw the line, and who gets to choose who is branded a legitimate photographer instead of some weirdo with too much money?

I have never seen any evidence that "collectors" (in the sense of people who buy modern gear without taking any picture with it; there are plenty of legitimate collectors of old cameras) really are that common, or any more common than soccer moms who buy a camera to collect dust. Every time they are mentioned it is as bogeymen on a photography forum. It is puzzling that a community would show so extreme sentiments towards one of its subsets. And I am a railway modeller, so I am not stranger to strongly opinionated hobbyists.

> And a fair number of people get taken in reading the gearhead commentary and end up buying expensive lenses that won't actually help that person take better photos.

Sure, that is a problem for some people who are eager to give themselves the right tools and get to overspend. And to be honest most of us are willing to fall into that trap.
I never understood why "engineer" has been redefined as only "code developers" Seems to leave out literally everyone who is an engineer that doesn't just do webdev.

In the non web dev world, massive amounts of effort is put into having good, unpersonal triage and review processes.

For a democracy to work you need a basis of shared facts with opinions on top that need decision. In the later years we have seen a movement to erode this basis of democracy to make discussions on top of the basis of facts impossible and replace it with tribalist attacks against each other.

Preventing fake news and fact checking is not about attacking sound political opinions, but about making them possible.

It’s not a joke, people saying otherwise did not understand the paper. The significance is debatable, it’s mostly a kind of collective facepalm for theoretical computer scientists.

The CVE is a joke in the sense that you don’t really need a CVE for a universal Turing machine, as they are quite literally only academic.
Not at all. Excessive pairing makes me tired. And I, as many, loose my ability to type when someone is watching.

All in all, the actual pairing can be limited to 1h every few days. Done well it’s enough.

Demanding a work mode is stupid. Be it forced TDD, forced pairing, or forced welding when all you need is some glue.

Is it really true that Pivotal had only n/2 workstations for the n devs? That seems to be an extreme arrangement (pardon the pun). I can see the benefit of pairing when

(a) the problem is somewhat well-defined, and there is a natural 'end' to the exercise. For example, a P0 bug that needs fixing immediately, and there's not much time for additional code-review. In this situation, pairing with the person who knows the area well may be beneficial, because you get code-review while solving the problem. And your non-keyboarding partner can see things that you are too deep in to see.

(b) an interviewing technique to see how you collaborate and approach problem-solving (once again, there's an element of non-open-ended problem-solving here). I must hasten to add that this should not be the sole evaluation method in an interview, because many people can't collaborate impromptu with someone they do not know, and many people prefer to let their minds wander in search of a creative solution, which can look like cluelessness in an interview situation.

(c) inducting a new developer into a team: by watching a veteran at work and the techniques he uses, a new hire can quickly absorb best-practices that will bring his productivity to a high level in a relatively short time period. Once again, this must be done for shorter time-periods: it's pretty much impossible to maintain a high level of engagement with a problem for hours on end. Putting the problem in your back pocket, and sleeping on it often leads to flashes of insight that can deliver robust, clean code (the first system or solution to a problem is almost never the best, particularly in software or schema design).

I can't imagine many other scenarios outside of these, particularly for routine software development work, especially when code review by peers is a mandatory step in the process. You are probably removing the element of slow thinking, which can improve product considerably, by forcing pairing all day, every day.

How does such a wonky culture take root in a fairly large organization anyway? A lot of senior developers would just refuse to work for such an organization!

It's really weird how this article starts by showing how through negotiation and job searching you can increase your salary, but bizarrely then talks about unions, which are known to depress wages for top performers (just look at teachers unions, where pay is totally disconnected from competence and performance). If you're a really good game developer, artist or animator then you should learn the skill of negotiation and asking for what you want.

Negotiation is an extremely important skill in life. So is knowing when to leave companies. I truly do not understand why anyone stays at these game studios for 5+ years and allows themselves to be absolutely robbed blind by pitiful wages and cost-of-living raises.
If you have depth information blurring can be undone theoretically, but you don't.

As with so many TV shows, there'll never be a satisfying ending, they'll likely be cancelled on a cliffhanger
