NYC across all of the boroughs has a car ownership rate around 45%. Being able to point to one poor person with a car who lives in NYC (probably in their car) doesn't make it a common occurrence or statistically significant. Also poor relative to what?

I've lived in NYC as well as upstate NY and I can tell you for a fact that my friends with cars in university statistically speaking were from Long Island. Total anecdata, but you can look at the actual demographics of who owns private vehicles in NYC and what economic class they belong to. It sounds like the results may surprise you!

The only way I've found to have effective 1:1s is to come armed with pointed questions about how things are going, and to actually be aware of what your reports are working on and who they're working with enough to know what questions to ask. They don't work if you're passive. You can surface a lot of vague feelings of unease or satisfaction with initial questions that you can turn into in-depth conversations, and those usually tell you what the person's preferences and areas of growth are.

I think no matter what structure you put in place as a manager you still have to get to know your reports well enough to know what you can and can't confidently ask them to do.
I use my wiki as a commonplace book. Every time I consider opening mine up, I consider the self-censorship likely to come from knowing that all of these half-baked thoughts will be public and decide that I gain more from my wiki by keeping it private.

While a bit of a tangent, I also love how Apple likes to make this EVEN MORE confusing by not supporting displayport MST in MacOS, causing most thunderbolt 4 docks on the market to be incapable of supporting multiple monitors when using MacOS.

So if you have say a 16" MacBook Pro, you need to get not only Thunderbolt 4 which is a rare spec, you want to ideally get ~85-140w PD not ~60w, AND you need to get an expensive dock that can split up the two HBR3 displayport channels instead of a regular MST Thunderbolt 4 dock.

Thankfully Apple has a solution to consumer confusion caused by all this. Buy a $1600 Apple studio display, connect it directly to your Mac, use the monitor itself as a dock, and everything will be compatible. Stay in the safe walled garden.

They need as much as a junior to get the job done. Then they should focus on the hard problems many of which are not tooling related.

However if a different team has made a good ci system they don't need to know how it works, just enough to diagnose a build error they didn't see locally. Likewise, someone needs to know the details of git, but there is no need for everyone to know the details of that mess (git is a particularly bad version control, I wish the world had settled on something else - there are several better choices) so long as you can do the basic commits, merges and checkouts. Most senior developers need to know how to add a text file to cmake (or whatever your build system is), but there is a lot more you can do with a build system that only a few need to know.

Senior devs need to be great at the problem domain they are in. That is normally the subsystem they write code in, and good architecture therein. They need to be able to figure out all the tools you list and more, but becoming experts in them all is a waste of time if enough others already are.

If you have a web browser and Linux, you can often install a .deb just by opening it in Software Centre or other graphical utilities to install apps. The comparison might be someone on windows trusting a random .msi or installer .exe or someone on Mac installing a random .app package. It’s somewhat normal these days. Package managers are sometimes harder to understand and app stores often don’t have the app you want or the newest version. Sometimes the app directs you to the website to install an update - or updates itself from a compromised location.

The cold hard fact is that F2P games bring in RIDICULOUS amounts of money.

I moved from doing code for industrial use and public admin as a consultant to mobile gaming.

We have one hit game and the _daily_ marketing (a.k.a. user acquisition) budget for us is an order of magnitude bigger than the biggest projects I did at my old job.

All the "ethical problems" usually are just older (usually) men in IT not understanding that people want to pay money to have fun.

Some people go to bars to relax after a work week and drop $100 gladly. Others use that for going to the movies, some go to have a nice dinner. And some people really like relaxing while playing games and they want to pay for that, because they think it's worth the price.

Actual total energy production from things like coal have stayed constant despite some countries, e.g. china, building out large amounts of new coal power plants. This is only possible if other plants have been taken offline.

Part of the reason they are shut down (not just environmental ones) is simply because they are more expensive to run than the alternatives.

It's like using an electrical circuit to make an analog simulation of the behavior of an arbitrary resistor-capacitor circuit.

You can get a lot of flexibility from all the extra stuff you have controlling your simulator, but the simulator is essentially the same thing it is simulating. You don't have to ignore anything.

I'm a game dev and Unreal is not a Unity replcement imo.. Making a game in Unity feels like making a game in XNA, you just start writing code and can write your entire game from scratch and can ignore most of Unity's features.
Unreal on the other hand feels like you are modding an existing game and you must use their many existing systems and patterns.
I'm moving to Godot, it feels like the new Unity / XNA.
0.5g in a 5g serving is 10%, not 0.5%, am I missing something?
Interesting. I would have thought that perfect pitch is not helpful at all with classical guitar. Can you tolerate music that is (deliberately) slightly out of standard tuning?
But that's the crux of it. For Epic, you have to make several times the amount. 200k of success is a lot more achievable than 1M of success for an indie.

The issue is that, Unity are in a very odd place of the market. They completely ceded high end gaming to Unreal. They have reasonable alternatives like Godot on the other end. So their main markets are:

1. Enterprise - which is fickle

2. Indie devs aspiring for success - who are going for cheap

3. Mobile (which might include 2)

4. A very few AAA games

I think this move will alienate a lot of their indie clients in the hopes of getting more money from their higher end clients.
For those indie clients, hitting 200K of revenue is a much closer dream than 1M of revenue, and they'll see that Unreal gives them more "high end graphics".

So I understand Unity's position, I just think they're alienating one of their biggest bases. Even if they don't make money directly off of them, those are the people who often advocate for use of Unity in other areas like Enterprise.

Existing corporations can already do what you describe.

The fiction that a corporation's fiduciary duty to its shareholders means "profits above all else" didn't become a thing until the 1980s, when Reagan's "greed is good" became the driving mantra of capitalism.

A "B" corporation, for example, is just a C corporation that has voluntarily agreed to a set of governance rules.
I haven't looked into this, just responding intuitively, but aren't we trained to learn better by writing by hand because of our upbringing. If the next generation stops hand writing and starts typing from early childhood education, wouldn't it be the same for them?
It also seems that search results are extremely limited. 5(?) years ago you would get pages of stuff that is tangentially related. Now it's 2 pages that seem carefully curated, but that's exactly the problem - you get a curated list, rather than a search of the whole web.
I'm sorry but console and PC games have been infinitely better since forever, giving much better products with much more limited resources for much of their existence.

Smartphones have existed for a long time now, and the games absolutely suck, except the extremely rare high quality indie game port like Papers Please or Slay the Spire.
> This study specifically, shows that you can be vaccinated and get it. You will have fewer symptoms, but still shed just as much virus.

no. the study shows that the vaccine status doesn't change how much you shed for a given level of symptoms. aka high symptomatic => high viral shed. lowly symptomatic => low viral shed.

Your comment was about a need to change education.

> cybersecurity professionals are undervalued and undereducated, I see it every day.

Which is more effective at changing that situation?

- changing the education system

- increasing the cost of laissez-faire hiring practices

If a breach cost 100x as much, does the value of qualified professionals go up or down? Do incentives to upskill go up or down? Do oversight and vetting of hires go up or down?

You can educate professionals until you're blue in the face: if the cost of hiring people who are underqualified doesn't change, the industry will even settle for unqualified people.

If anything you'll just devalue the ones you educated even further: Their time and effort isn't free, meanwhile there's no increase in demand for them because you didn't change the cost of hiring someone dumber. You just took their time without giving them a way to actually get a return on it... unless thanklessly fighting to apply their newfound knowledge in a system that already undervalues them is your idea of a return.

Of course, you're free to draw whatever pivot/conclusion/aberration/perceived slight you want from here: my father is a PhD, my mother holds a doctorate and they're both from the 3rd world. I've experienced what higher education can do for people better than most, there was no posturing.

My son was in a school that taught English via immersion (they hired English teachers who couldn't even speak any German).

Starting with grade 1 the kids wrote exclusively with fountain pens, and were marked early on on penmanship. Except in English, where they were allowed to write with pencils or biros so of course they did because it was a change, and the teachers didn't seem to care about penmanship at all.

Two decades later his writing with a fountain pen in any language is as clear as a bell, while anything else results in a scrawl. I don't believe it's because the tool is superior in some way, I think it's simply the attention to detail got wired in.

An amusing nerd side point: In grade 1 they learnt a letter a week, and from that were reading by xmas. To avoid confusing the kids, English was supposed to use "German letterforms" but really they are pretty much the same! Anyway the funny thing is that in English they start the first week with "A" (Apple, Ant), then "B" (Banana, Buffalo) and so on. German was taught in the alphabetic frequency order: "E" (Elefant), then "N" (Nase), "I" (Igel) and so on. Disappointingly, Christmas came before they got to ß as I was curious what they would do (no word starts with it).
Mobile gaming was not a big market but it was already there before the iPhone. My company and quite a few others were making games for this market.

Are you gonna buy a Pro model or a base one?
just curious would it be possible to add a small network perhaps a books of study material like programming books. freeze the weights of the existing large network, and combined with the new network try to predict the book. The existing networks know language but not the content, the combined network will be trained on the content, and eventually toegther they score better, These "small" added networks might just be specific towards a certain topic (ea learn python or so).
Then these small networks can be become modular. esesentially creating some kind of lora networks for LLM's.

Maybe start this way from the ground up, so you can get modular units, for health, finance, programming, education, writting assitance, phyloophy, ethics etc etc.
If the modules can be changed, then one might be able to reduce their seize.
Ea pick 2 or 3 chain them and one has a LLM for a specific area of interest.

Where are the European smartphone brands?
With the reveal of the iPhone 15 and the jokes about apple finally adopting USB-C and rumors about apple slow walking new European regulations on batteries, I have to ask where are the European phone companies? Is it not possible that rising Chinese brands just ignore these policies and focus on Asia/Africa/LATAM and ignore Europe/North America if these regulations become too annoying and cumbersome?

If Europe had their own brands to compete with, it would make sense but Chinese/Korean brands are already more influential in the developing world than North American/European ones. Is it possible that European regulation, while forward thinking, can lead to a decreasing ROI of compliance and risk intellectual and moral leadership on these issues in Europe?

What does "non-trivial game" mean?

Also what does "spending loads of time debugging the internals of the engine" mean? I have worked on small and large (AAA) games with both custom and 3rd party engines and all of them needed a lot of time both profiling (to make things faster) and debugging (to avoid/fix[0] bugs) the engine internals. Where is the threshold where that time is "loads"?

Without being specific on the requirements how can one respond with "yes" or "no"?

[0] "avoid" for the 3rd party engines that we tried to not change much as it'd affect engine upgrades later, "fix" for the custom engines

There is a certain magic to the old Amiga - both its software and hardware - and creating something that shares in that magic just seems right. The computer was practically dead when I was born and even I feel compelled by it.

Also, for great justice. We made Amiga, they fucked it up. But we can still pretend what it would've been like had it fared better. The main way one does this is by filling in any gaps in its software collection.
