So one caveat I would mention is that you will likely earn more outside of the animation industry with those skills than within it.

With that out of the way, I think there are several avenues to get involved. Picking up a graphics engineering book, or learning OpenGL/Metal/DirectX will make you valuable as a realtime engineer.

But otherwise I would recommend finding an open source project and contributing to it as a way to build up the repertoire that you can use to apply for jobs with. Blender is an excellent place to start, but so are any of the projects under the academy software foundation at https://www.aswf.io

Getting more into the character animation side, you can look into Rigging, which is the process of setting up the armatures that move the characters. There are also things like simulation for cloth/hair etc...

Blender is a good place for a lot of them.

This, I really don't understand that they want to create a diverging solution for something that already works really well. We don't need 15 different solutions to configure networking.

I'm curious, why not Sublime Text? It is better, faster, and more mature than Lapce, LiteXL, Kate, CudaText, and VSCode (although VSCode might have more extensions).

The issue that it is free as in beer but not open source as in MIT.

That is absolutely right. I downloaded it to try it but luckily I saw this comment and I deleted the install file. I think if someone makes a text editor, they should have the courtesy to say "note: there is no line wrapping in this editor". It's actually a basic expectation that most people have with regard to editors.

Technically, like the person said in the thread "What prevents you from doing it yourself?"

I feel like not having line wrapping is like not having a save function. Yeah technically it's open source but it's a little irritating not to have "NO WRAPPING" in big letters.
And "Big Copyright" prefers it that way. They are only interested in maximizing sensitivity (probability of taking down a true violation), they have no incentive to care about the trade-off with precision (probability that a taken-down violation is a true violation).
It's very violent on average, but that violence isn't evenly distributed. Most middle-class Americans have nothing to fear on a daily basis. The violence is driven almost entirely by poor black and brown men living in cities and often involved in violent crime. If you remove Black Americans from the system, U.S. murder rates look like much of Western Europe. Some people can't handle this, so I'll say up-front: I think ignoring the problem means you are part of the problem, and a problem of this magnitude (the murder rate in the U.S.) deserves a solution. Part of that solution is changing social norms so that we can actually, you know, figure out what's going on...right now honest research into this is de facto banned.

Anyway, I've done a deep dive into the numbers. Murder rate data from the FBI has a large "unknown" category, so I'll handle that in a few ways for simplicity. Focusing on murders rather than other violent crime is the best thing to do because, while there may be a lot of ambiguity about what constitutes "assault", how often it's reported, etc., there really isn't much ambiguity about murder. We don't lose track of bodies very often. Here's the murder rate in the U.S. broken down by race. All numbers are murderers (offenders) per 100,000 people:

White (simple, ignoring "Unknown"): 1.8
Black (simple, ignoring "Unknown"): 13.3

White (assuming all "Unknown" are White): 3.7
Black (assuming all "Unknown" are Black): 23.2

White (splitting up "Unknown" by existing proportion of total): 2.6
Black (splitting up "Unknown" by existing proportion of total): 18.8

The difference is stark. Using the 2.6 vs. 18.8 raw numbers, probably closest to the truth, Black people in the U.S. are about seven times more likely to murder in a given year than are white people on average. The number becomes even more stark if you compare Black to non-Black (because Asians are less likely to murder than Whites), and yet more stark if you just look at men (women murder at something like 1/8 the rate of men, so having them in the system dilutes all differences). Hispanics are also included in "White" by the U.S. census (and they murder at higher rates than non-Hispanic Whites). Insofar as cities don't report to the UCR (like New York), if they were to report it would make the Black murder rate go up. Murder clearance ("solved") rates are abysmal in the U.S., 60-something percent on average, but are low where young black men do a lot of killing and higher elsewhere; Black Americans are more likely to get away with murder than non-Black Americans, so adjusting for that drives the Black murder rate still higher. It depends on your assumptions, but Black American men 15-35 murder at something like 50x the rate of the rest of the population.

In the US we’re terrified to take away someone’s access to a car because there are so few valid alternatives in most of the country. To the point where driving tests are basically a rubber stamp, and re-tests are nonexistent.
That raises some good points. We're often taught that compromise is the way to handle things, but there are a lot of situations where it doesn't and shouldn't apply.

I was doing the keto diet several years ago. I went from 240lbs to 175. I had to stop though because my bad cholesterol went through the roof. Came to find that I am APOE4/4, basically I have a genetic mutation that among other things means my body has trouble dealing with saturated fats.

I stopped doing keto and ended up getting back up to 220lbs, but my blood levels went back to normal.

I really want to do keto again because it's the only thing that's ever worked for me and I keep hearing about studies like this, but I also don't want to mess up my levels again.

Minivans usually have a very low front hood with decent visibility. I'm not sure why SUVs don't have the same.
Fwiw locking people up actually does make some addicts lives easier. The life of a hard drug addict is filled with the constant strife of trying to procure money/drugs, all while extremely fucked up, and the. navigating the dangerous and shitty situations that puts them in. My aunt went to jail for 5 years for meth and she said it was the first time she felt she had enough piece to actually understand and work on sobriety since she started using 10 years prior. She’s been close to 20 years clean now. Granted, not everyone has it so nice, but she lost her kids, became a felon, and suffered a lot because of it. But then again, meth addiction begets a lot of suffering as well.

We ended up with this because SUVs and Trucks had reduced fuel efficiency requirements. When we have fuel efficiency requirements (mandated by aerodynamics[0,1]), SUVs bring their fronts down and curve them, improving pedestrian safety since more of the force comes from the hood instead of from hitting the ground.

You are fundamentally limiting your ability to build Rust projects if you rely on the system's package manager.

A Rust program `p` can depend on `q` and `v` which depend on `u`, but `q` requires `u` @ 1.0.0 and `v` requires `u` @ 2.0.0. In the Debian world, you would have to change `p` and `v` to support a mutually compatible version of `u`. If those changes introduce bugs, they're Debian's bugs, but the author of `p` is the one who gets the reports.

Cargo naturally handles this case, it installs multiple incompatible versions at unique locations in its cache, and correctly invokes the system linker to link the compiled objects correctly. If `p` was a C program, we could not handle this case, because `u` would be a shared library and you cannot link two different versions of the same shared object into a single address space at runtime (if they were static libraries, a sufficiently smart build system could deal with it, just like cargo - but there is no unified build system and package manager for C, so good luck).

Further, Cargo creates lock files for your projects, and authors commit and push them for executables. If you build against a lockfile. This prevents most of the cases that the author is bemoaning. People don't run Cargo update willy nilly.

Frankly, the "problems" the author is claiming don't exist in practice and the "solution" makes life worse as a Rust developer.

I'm getting tired of hearing people praise broken package managers like Debian. They make life worse for everyone for no benefit. How many times do people need to read testimony that "C/C++ package management sucked and Rust is great just for Cargo alone!" before they get it?

> Make our infra as difficult as possible for these modern SUVs and trucks and suddenly the office workers commuting from age Styx will decrease

While personally attractive to me, this is a losing proposition. Lots of people have (unfortunately) locked in usage of these vehicles; and will vote out any changes to car-centric infrastructure.

In my opinion, a better and more practical way to do it is:

First, clamp down on the manufacturers with regulations. Set super low speed limits for these things -- safety and road damage are obvious rationales. No truck should be able to go above 60 mph; that alone will make them much more unattractive.

Second, increase registration taxes slowly every year on these large vehicles, to reflect the increasing burden that they pose to society. That will go the rest of the way towards making sure carmakers turn their focus back to smaller, more sustainable cars.

A massive rework of our infrastructure is attractive, but not necessary.
How do you identify if log4j was one of your dependencies then? You'd just have a hash of the pom.xml or whatever and you'd still need a tool to check it.

> You heard it was good.. you didn't believe it and then an article came from somewhere saying the opposite and you believed it.

I heard it was good and red articles saying as such and naively supported it. Then the results in my own city were nothing like what we were told - crime increased, number of addicts increased, tent cities and open air drug markets spread all over the place. When reality didn’t match my assumptions, I went back and revisited my assumptions.

A lot of this was I no longer relied on articles from sources I had earlier trusted, and instead started going to primary sources. I found that the anti-drug efforts in Portugal were nothing like they were presented in the U.S. They were pretty far from mere decriminalization, and included a good deal of state coercion to try to force addicts into treatment.

This lead me not only to realize my assumptions were wrong, but that the people who I had previously thought were writing well informed evidence based articles were actually cherry-picking data to try to push their preferred policy. The fact that decriminalization hasn’t gone the way we were told it would, and most of these people have made no effort to revisit their assumptions (only saying that they must still be right and that it must be someone else’s fault), is a pretty good demonstration that they’re not basing they’re beliefs on actual evidence.
And then they back into parking spots! Every car since 2016 comes equipped with a backup camera that gives a wide view, but now they see nothing when they pull out!
