Congratulations! I've been closely following and donating (when I can) since your launch.

I'm now unemployed on a sabbatical, and looking to pour my heart into game development. Jumping into such a large, moving project can be intimidating. How can I get started effectively contributing to Bevy?

I'll add, a ton of work seems to be happening in rendering. This is not an area I can contribute or know enough about, but I am able/willing to help with just about everything higher level than that.
Purely anecdotal claim but I think the more time you spend with your spouse higher are the chances of divorce.

The part time job might be more about spending too much time with your spouse rather than failure to provide.
No because its proprietary, and secondly all of your arguments are made out of thin air. Do you want me to produce a design doc about why getting alexa to work correctly is hard?
The age of owning a home is going away.

No one wants to hear it, it sounds like nonsense, but I really think it's true.

Over the next few decades, home ownership will be reserved for the very wealthy. Everyone else will be renting in some form or another. If you're less well off it will be a cheap apartment. If you have a better job, it might be a nicer single-family home.

But it'll all be rented, because that's where the real money is and the system is successfully squeezing out the possibility of ownership.
The worry is understandable. As someone who's been in a similar situation before, the worry with a work visa and housing tends to go away one way or another. Either you get out of a work visa at some point, or you accept that you will never receive a green card in your productive years and you jump into the property market with that risk anyway.
This sounds like an "inflation hedge" rather than an ordinary investment:

A major thing I see pushing people towards trucks is the amazing ride the latest generation offers.

Going on long-distance road trips in something like a 2022 model year pickup truck is pretty close to the most comfortable setup available for < $100k. I don't know of any "luxury" cars that ride better today, even for multiples of the 100k limit.

That said, everything else about them is pretty awful. I own one and I mostly hate it until I find myself halfway between Houston and Austin. If I have to drive downtown all day I would much prefer an older, smaller sports car or sedan.
I agree it's much harder with someone further in their career (and we worked with candidates to figure out what made sense, either shortening the trial, allowing other time to be included, etc.)

To answer your last question.

On Monday, it was had to fully tell how someone interacted with the team (there was a particular incident where a candidate ended pushing some extremely strong politics on the rest of the team on Wednesday). I was okay with it (I think people should be okay to express opinions), but the rest of the team was not -- and I value the rest of my team (ended up making the decision not to go forward as they weren't comfortable with the hire).

Similarly, when they gave an estimate on Monday for the work they could accomplish on Friday (but failed to do it), depending on their reasoning (did they just grossly miss-estimate, or were there legitimate reasons, are they learning from errors). They had time to keep us updated throughout the week, to readjust, etc. All things that you typically learn with time.

Tesla slashes prices for Model S and Model X in US
The Model S all-wheel drive is now available for $89,990, which is down 5.2% or about $5,000 from $94,990. The Model S Plaid is now $109,990, down 4.3% from $114,990.

The Model X all-wheel drive is going for $99,990, down 9.1% or $10,000 from $109,990. The Plaid is now $109,990, down 8.3% from $119,990.
In this we have similarly strong feelings but opposite conclusion. I also think that land is a fundamental and important asset, but conclude from that it is immoral for an individual possession to be reliant and dependent on society.

I feel it in the same way that I would not want my ability to beath air to depend on some social utilitarian function that could decide it is better used elsewhere.

I suppose you might view this as anti-social.
This is scaremongering nonsense. Literally 30 seconds of Googling would have told you that. Make more effort.
I'd love to fulfill all of those options, and I plan to, but I dont think I will have them all available in the first release build. I'm the only developer working on the game, and the only other person I work with is the pixel artist.

So expect cars and sidewalks. Pedestrian-only walk ways should be possible in the first release.
I don’t get that complaint. It’s like hearing a software engineer complaining “write code or get fired”, yeah, well, that’s your literal job?
Agreed, this is how company communication should be.

I don't use Fly but would consider them in the future even given their recent issues.

I look at this in contrast to Twitter who had/has? an outage today. Their leadership is opaque and doesn't take responsibility for the issues they are causing.
Step 1 is really hard if computers are useful (why do you stop making something that's useful?), but step 3 is simply not believable: a society that has machines that could, at the minimum, help solving complex calculations and engineering problems much better than humans decides to completely ignore them. That's not how societies work.
Fundamentally I think some of the problems come down to the difference between what Fly set out to build and what the market currently want.

Fly (to my understanding) at its core is about edge compute. That is where they started and what the team are most excited about developing. It's a brilliant idea, they have the skills and expertise. They are going to be successful at it.

However, at the same time the market is looking for a successor to Heroku. A zero dev ops PAAS with instant deployment, dirt simple managed Postgres, generous free level of service, lower cost as you scale, and a few regions around the world. That isn't what Fly set out to do... exactly, but is sort of the market they find themselves in when Heroku then basically told its low value customers to go away.

It's that slight miss alignment of strategy and market fit that results in maybe decisions being made that benefit the original vision, but not necessarily the immediate influx of customers.

I don't envy the stress the Fly team are under, but what an exciting set of problems they are trying to solve, I do envy that!
My income is a reflection of the value I bring to a company. If I do something extremely valuable without getting a raise or a bonus or a promotion then the company is not valuing me enough and I should look elsewhere.

If I work for a for-profit company you can't expect me to do extra work for free. If I wanted that type of life I would have gotte a job in another kind kf venture
Obviously money alone won't solve the problem. But when 95%+ of the proposals are NOT affordable housing, and those developers are actively bribing city officials, it's no surprise that most of what gets built are luxury condos, mostly downtown, the vast majority of which are uninhabited, serving as bank accounts for foreign "investors."

Speaking of Go, there's a simdjson implementation for golang too:

> Performance wise, simdjson-go runs on average at about 40% to 60% of the speed of simdjson. Compared to Golang's standard package encoding/json, simdjson-go is about 10x faster.

I haven't tried it yet but I don't really need that speed.

White House Said to Consider Pushing Congress on Dealing with TikTok
Hey cart, with WebGPU coming to Chrome in 113/114, how is Bevy looking for supporting the WebGPU target?
This is absolutely not true. I’ve made my living working with Python and there’s an astounding amount of large Python codebases. Onstage and YouTube alone have millions of lines of code. Hedge funds and fintechs base their entire data processing workflows around Python batch jobs. Django is about as popular as Rails and powers millions of websites and backends.

None of those applications are toys. I have no idea where your misperception is coming from.
Some of it is paywalled, seems interesting... Got another link perhaps?
Well because individual choice and governance choices both exist simultaneously and dynamically.

In this particular case, though, I think the thing that is daming Seattle (and similar locations: Santa Barbara, San Francisco, Denver, Aspen, anywhere remotely desirable) is geography and climate and there isn't much you can do to fix that because you can't create new geography out of thin air. "Ohio is so boring", "I need to be near mountains and fresh air", "I like to surf", "I love to hike" are all things that can't be effectively replicated and so wherever those things exist prices will skyrocket relative to other locations.

Can Seattle literally build more? Yes. Will that solve Seattle's housing affordability problems? No it won't. In the short term interest rates and cost to build mean that most units will be higher end. Certainly won't mean a 2-3br house anyway. In the long-term unless something drastically changes Seattle is just desirable and there will be many more people who want to live there than there will be homes unless we could just snap our fingers and create new housing, nevermind governance issues, it just isn't happening folks.

I do empathize though. Please don't mistake my comments for callousness. But sometimes the truth (as I see it) just needs to be state. If you want to work as a chef and afford a 2br house it just is not happening in Seattle and you should make peace with that.
Have we solved how to make one spider?
That's true about the risk, however before the recent spike in rates, that leverage was ultra-cheap.
But self-replicating machines already exist?

Life is a good example of one, but the global economy is another.
That's possible with Total.js. We offer a lot of open source apps like Flow, UI Builder (it will be released soon officially - missing only the website) and Total DB (it will be released this week - missing only the website).

Total DB: https://github.com/totaljs/totaldb
UI Builder: https://uibuilder.totaljs.com/

We're preparing tutorials and you will see that it's possible to do it very easily :)

Hi yes, that's the idea! The example shown in the demo video uses internal help docs as the "source of knowledge" for embeddings, but the same principles apply to customer data.

The Us has bankruptcy laws so that the children don't have to work to pay it off. Though depending on your situation and belief in the future maybe you would want to - if things turn around you have that building, while if you go bankrupt it is sold. (of course we are talking above Japan of 30 years ago so you can now check how things have gone, but that doesn't mean they will go the same next time)
> Automatic signed to unsigned type coercion is extremely bug prone

When adding unsigned int as a language feature, don't we get to make up the rules? It seems like we can choose to make the rules not awful; we are not beholden to what C++ has done.
It’s not even the opposite. As the sibling says, this can happen in DAGs, but not in trees (both of which are cycle-free). This indicates such a confused understanding of graphs that it gives me very low confidence in the article (and the product).

The article then continues with:

> To fully utilize the power of graphs, you first need to get a basic understanding of the underlying concepts in graph theory.

Indeed. ;)

> There are four components that every graph consists of nodes, relationships, labels, and properties.

This is incorrect. A graph in the graph-theoric sense consists solely of vertices and edges [0] (nodes and relationships), no labels or properties required. Also, there's a colon missing after "of".

The writing is quite sloppy for a field that requires rigorous precision.

The data is in the attrition reports they run - more often than not, it's a soft layoff, while still justifying the rent cost and investments they've put into their office space.
That's how they are trained initially, but the resulting model isn't all that useful (was SOTA two years ago but this field moves fast).

A lot of the utility comes from the later finetuning. You can see this using the examples from the article, every mistake they identify with GPT-3 (which is the unfinetuned version) is answered correctly by chatGPT, which has gone through an extensive finetuning process called RLHF.
Unless they have other means of solving those calculations better than computers; in that case, call those other means "computers" and the study of older computers "retro-computing".
People raise arguments like this frequently, but in every other case throughout history people were made obsolete by tools that intelligences use. Never before has the intelligence part been made obsolete though.
The math in the article seems wonky and oversimplified to support the author's viewpoint. It seems the writer doesn't have enough perspective as the answer to the question of whether a house is a good investment has to do with which house you buy in which market at which time. Some houses in some areas are bad buys at some times. Lots of other houses in lots of other areas are good buys at other times.

The author completely glosses over:

- Land space near powerful economic areas is finite

- No one will let you build infinite new houses if it requires you making them sell and move off the land they already own

- The article makes it out like you could pay the same rent your whole life and/or stay in the same place all that time. That's unlikely, smart landlords are always going to raise prices as much as they can, not overspend on anything to do with services, and will decide to not renew your lease if they decide you're not worth it.

- The math about a $700k house versus a $2900/month mortgage is highly suspect. $2900 is not renting much of a house in an area where a house is $700k. $700k here will get you a modest older house. $2900 will rent a studio in my area. (Expensive area). There are many 2 bedroom apartments going for $5000/month. I've been in my house 13 years and my mortgage payment has gone down 3x as interest rates fell and we were able to re-finance. The last apartment I was renting has more than doubled in rent in the last 13 years. It is 2.5x what the mortgage on the house is, and the house is 4x the size of the apartment and we actually own land.

- Nailing down a fixed rate mortgage with a payment that doesn't rise versus ever ascending rent means you can actually save money to invest in other things if you're smart and diversify your assets.

Not all of us are going to see what the Baby Boomers saw. But owning a house is still a way to get ahead of peers. Certainly smarter than burning massive money on expensive cars every few years and lots of the other excessive spending that happens. You have to keep in mind the returns the baby boomers got were due to massive changes in the economy and interest rates over their lifetime. Boomers bought their starter homes sometimes with 15-20% interest rates back in the 1970s. Those sky high interest rates were what kept house prices so low back then. Population growth & density in the areas they bought in made land scarce while interest rates fell to nothing so it was natural for prices to skyrocket.
Looking at the flip statistic, 36% of households rent so the numbers do seem to add up.

For many households, some of the residents may not technically share ownership of the house (not on the deed) such as kids or extended family living together, but still have a vested interest in the value going up.
While I hate Unity, I think one of the few things they did really well is the decision to make scriptable render pipeline. The game we're developing is high stylized. Istead of a shadow map for each spot light, we have a small shadow map for each character (rendered to a 4k altas). It's surprisingly easy to do that in Unity. Easier than in most engines, I believe.

How is Bevy going to approach this kind of render pipeline customization?

(I'm very new to Bevy. So if it's a stupid question please bear with me.)
This article is more so talking about tooling like SWC rather than using WASM as the bridge between JS and Rust. Personally I feel that the former is much more important than the latter which doesn't seem to have as many benefits for people making web apps on average. Sure, if you're running something very intensive like a video editor like Veed or a design tool like Figma, WASM is nice, but most web devs are making CRUD apps.

idk why this position is so offensive.

yes i think most of the population can sub into most tech work. honestly a bootcamp will make most people ready to perform at an acceptable level for your average FAANG swe role. admittedly the interview process is a tougher experience and keeps many people out but does not reflect the actual work.

your being tired of this "cliche" does not make it untrue and this response is as lazy as "if you have any criticism of the current climate why don't you just leave". wah.

there are other ways to help people than just giving them money, like by getting them into tech. i have done this for a number of friends and they're thriving, despite initial reservations.
Not exposing user ids is a good thing. UUIDs may be a bad thing depending on needs. They cause poor locality in storage which can increase seek time.
"2022 interest rate: 0.08%" that's not true for 2022 as a whole. Did you mean 2021?!
I know about it because I visited Nvidia several times in the nineties as I was a driver engineer implementing their chips on OEM cards.

I tried to find the information and the best I could find is this better than average discussion/podcast on the history of Nvidia.

They briefly touch on the chip emulation software that they felt they desperately needed to get back into the game after the NV1 was relegated.

The NV3 (Riva 128) was designed rapidly (six months) with the use of their what I called their super computer - a cluster of PCs or workstations most likely - running the proprietary chip emulation software. This advantage continued on further evolution of Nvidia hardware generations.

IIRC the chip emulation startup was started by a university friend of Jensen. The podcast says they failed later which is unfortunate.

A buggy beta does not equal a buggy release. Generally speaking bugs are fixed prior to release.
I’m in a similar spot as the OP, and one thing that is important to me about knowing the hostnames is that defining (then tracking) a hostname is the only universally-implemented method that lets me scan through the hosts on the network and understand what they all are.

- I’m never going to remember MACs

- Even when IPs are carefully thought out, if something happens to the DHCP server and it needs to be rebuilt, IP no longer tells you anything about what device it is

Whereas hostname/DHCP client name shows up in almost every router UI, is viewable from any *nix machine on the network (when DHCP and DNS work together), and is typically a first-class citizen in the DHCP lease settings themselves. Super handy. As a side bonus: rogue hostnames are immediately obvious, but rogue MACs or IPs require investigation before you know whether they are benign.
I can't agree with your comparison of "Jurassic Park" to "The Hunt For Red October." While you're correct that the former has speculative elements that let it flirt with science fiction, the latter is straight-up 1980s techno-thriller with a distinct lack of speculative aspects (even the Red October's caterpillar drive has real-world examples). They're very different kinds of thrillers.
One anecdote that sounds like it should have been handled by the administration of the school much better than it was.

Trans males should not be competing in girls sports. They are only doing so because of the right's insistence on unchangeable biological sex. As to the "primary reason for the change"... you're going to have to provide evidence because that's doubtful. People act like social transitioning is a walk in the park... it's not. People aren't doing it for the incredible benefits of being trans, believe me.

You sound like you have an axe to grind and maybe need to do more research and less believing the falsehoods about trans people.
Do you have multiple user accounts on an iOS device these days?

As far as I know, Android apps can't be shared with other accounts, but all our tablets use my account, so they can all use my apps. Unlike with Steam, where they need their own account and their own purchase in order to play simultaneously.
Have you been reading the threads about the reproducibility crisis that pop up here regularly? Essentially some people worry we have more people who need to write papers than we can sustain with our current research horizon, and people are making shit up or at least being overly optimistic.

It's on their Discord. While there is going to be a new release, the development definitely has slowed down. People on the Discord at least are thinking about whether a fork makes sense, since the Rome trademark is with the corporation and not the OSS project, if I understand correctly.

So, I'm curious, what aspects of your job would you say are what makes a job tolerable or pleasurable to you? Just maximizing your income, or are there other things? Getting along with coworkers? Enjoying solving programming puzzles? Anything?

Or is this a stupid question, because all jobs are equally intolerable to you, they all suck the same, there is nothing that makes one more tolerable or even pleasurable than another, at least not enough to matter, in your experience?

I'm just taking guesses.

I'm also curious how long you've been working in this field.
