My introduction to programming was when I was 10 with GameMaker. I found that the same company has a product with the same name that seems to be the spiritual succesor of it[0].

I allowed me to start with very simple no-code and move on to incrementaly add codes nipets here and there. Eventually I went crazy and tried to make a game fully with code, avoiding all the tools the engine gave me, just as an experiment (I was very proud of the resulting code-generated UI).

I made so many games with it as a kid! 100% recommended!

Because the outsourcing threat was a thing before remote working, remote working changes nothing to that.

Employers love to bring this up on the subject of remote working but if they could outsource your work to an Indian paid 10x less, they would have done it already. Those employers are deluded if they think remote work is changing anything here.

If anything it makes outsourcing of global talent even harder for them since now companies are competing globally for the best talent.

Life Isn't a Lottery Ticket
I'll also highly recommend GBG. My eldest had a good time building very creative things when he was about 9, and my younger son who is 6 has built a 3d platformer. i haven't a clue how to program it, but they pick it up easily! Also, they both love Scratch (not Jr) on a browser. Not 3D, but a great outlet for their ideas.

If it's just level building, then Super Mario Maker 2 (also Switch) and Levelhead (Steam, more accessible on Switch). There's also BQM (Steam,Switch) for isometric dungeon designing.
+1 for RPG in a Box, my 10yo loves it. RPG in a box provides everything to start with simple games (map editor, visual scripting, voxel editor, sound editor, ...), and the minecraft-like/retro style helps managing the kid's expectations. And there are a bunch of great tutorials on youtube.
If it helps this was in broad terms my offspring's journey into programming. But remember that everyone learns differently. When he was 8 or 9 we started tinkering with an arduino set. Not so much programming but mostly connecting electronic bits and see what happens. From then, our heir sped through a game programming with python book and asked for more... but the interest was not so much to build a game engine rather build a game on an established engine. After much YouTubing, our first born made a short list between Unity, GameMaker and Unreal -- Unity won. From there it was very much a self taught journey. 6-7 playable games have been released, from a tiny 2D sidescroller, a 2D dungeon crawler, a 3D FPS, a 3D survival game, a multiplayer game like Towerfall Ascension,... the Works. Importantly sounds and graphics are original. I'm quite proud of the accomplishments. Adjust your expectations because it takes time, measured in years, not weeks! For our case in particular, dedication, concentration, and a healthy dose of tolerance for frustration, really helps to chug along.

Baldur's Gate 3 Dev Expresses Concern over Subscription Becoming Dominant
I was depressed today and this flashed right at the top! Sorry for your loss and I am sure no words can easy out your pain. You have your family with you so this phase will move on. Life is unfair for sure but we still got a chance to make it better!
There is pain, and there is real pain. This is real pain. When life hits you like this, it's important to just endure, rather than escape. Trying to escape the pain can lead to addictions and behaviors that bring more problems. Some people are hit with pain like this and live a whole life trying to escape it, but never do. Best thing is accept, grieve, and continue on. Regardless, you will not be the same person, this will change you. Sometimes life just sucks, and there is no way of saying it doesn't, only time and love can help. However, the sun comes up every morning, and there is a sunset every night.

This is for anyone out there suffering some acute trauma like losing a loved one, or a chronic trauma like abuse over many years. I have experienced both, and it took me over 15 years to realize what had happened and to recover. I originally chose escapism. I didn't realize it at the time, but that's what it was. I was always into something, eventually even substance abuse. Ironically, escapism is how I ended learning to code, which was an escape for me. However, I also ended up being around even worse things and witnessing more death, while living broke and stressed out. This dragged me into even more suffering to the point of wanting suicide every day, but I just couldn't do it. This was a combination of escapism, and being around people with the same negativity as me.

Fortunately in time, I found myself, and realized everything that had happened, and how life can just be like that. But also how beautiful and exciting life can be as well. This would not have happened had I not met certain people that showed me what it means to love, and to be mentally strong. Also, by reading and learning you can find inspiration and love from someone that you will never meet in real life. Regardless, we need support of strong and positive people around us. We are a social species after all. When dealing with death/loss, remember the good times, be thankful for the time we had, and leave it at that - easier said than done.

The sun will rise tomorrow, and you will too. Take care, friend.

Your thermostat is probably lying to you—its sensor probably doesn't have the precision it tells you it has. I also have a bridge to sell you if you believe that everywhere in your house is exactly XY °F.

My room is considerably cooler than my kitchen, with a temperature difference of as much as 10 °C, especially when I am cooking multiple dishes. If I open my back door in said kitchen, then the temperature rapidly and noticeably plummets, even if several of the gas hobs are on.

You discuss 'precision', but then you don't take the next step of realising that any precision comes with a built-in uncertainty, and the 'human feel' of temperature has a massive uncertainty of as much as ±7 °C—depending on, as the other commenter said, wind, humidity, shade, and internal body temperature.

I've been raised entirely in a metric country, and have never used degrees Fahrenheit. It was a complete novelty for me when I was younger, and in many ways still is.

It is a matter of 'what is more intuitive'. Room temperature is 25 °C, human body temperature is 36 °C, a fever is about 38 °C, it is freezing outside when it is 0 °C or below, and water boils at 100 °C.
It means "to axe the question Y?"

Right, it was google video (that was just a bunch of users and content) that was "merged" into youtube. As usual they didn't bother redirecting the url's. Just let all of those hundreds of millions of links rot. What an opportunity to ruin an unimaginable number of threads and blog posts.

I'm trying to picture a white board with someone drawing up a plan how to destroy everything and take over.

Woah, video replies, we have to remove those. Threaded conversations under videos? Lets make them into an unbearable mess and make it as hard as possible for anyone to have a conversation. We can put it under history! ha-ha good one! Wait, we could suck everyone into a vacuum and have them all watch the same videos? ~ Excellent idea!

Creative company indeed
- It plays instantly. You don't need to click through a GUI and see names, labels etc. Just press a play shortcut.

- There's an element of surprise, and you can hear your whole collection. Sure, you can do that with a GUI, but it's a few extra clicks.

You will always get used to music. I wrote a player that will play a piece of music less frequently if I skip it faster, so what I skip less I will hear again sooner. Also, I add extra meta keys to the shortcut if I'm far too used to something and don't want to hear it in a while.

Also, I flag music that has lyrics / speaking / vocal sounds so I can skip it when I'm trying to focus.
I wonder why no one emailed the Chinese company and ask them where the letter comes from. That would be the simplest and better solution.

I do work in JavaScript, but I also had no idea what Biome was. Apparently the Rome project rebranded. The main appeal, I think, is that it is written in native code and significantly faster than Prettier.
HLSL has in practice become the shader language for Vulkan, and Metal has always had a high-level shading language. The GPU market is simply too heterogeneous for a low-level ISA like SPIR-V to be applicable and performant across all architectures. A modern GPU driver effectively has to "decompile" SPIR-V binaries, then recompile it to the actual vendor-specific architecture used on the installed GPU, and perform both high-level and low-level optimizations. Standardizing on a single high level shading language, but one purposefully designed to be cross-platform, is actually the simpler architecture here.

I've had a similar situation with a child, and although I won't go into details it can take a few years for it to process fully, and you come out with a different life perspective.

I can't give a lot of good advice as I've had the full emotional spectrum, the world no longer seems real, and at points didn't deal with it well. But that's ok. It's part of adjusting.

Please take it easy, you aren't alone, and if it gets too dark, sleep, tiredness can make things seem a lot worse. Make sure you speak to people continue hobbies, and avoid dwelling on the thoughts.

Keep well.

Saw him live... the concert started without him, then he screamed from the bleachers to stop, and climbed down from a rope.

> contemplate alternatives, imagine things being different, or daydream of a different life

I lost my mother over 23 years ago, and one of the the hardest things for the longest while was anytime I would travel somewhere amazing, whether a city or country or the top of a mountain, knowing I'm seeing something she never saw, but might have, and what a kick she'd get out of it. It's always been in the back of my mind.

Now the hardest thing is realizing she'll never know her granddaughter, and vice-versa. Not to mention how much my daughter looks like her. But that's also a beautiful reminder of the cyclical nature of life and all its seasons.
> The US doesn't like it, so they may change the rules again. which becomes a bit of a whackamole.

There were rumors like that, but I don't believe it.

The limits nvidia is following are very clear. They cover both total compute power and compute power per square millimeter, in different combinations. nvidia is doing exactly what they were supposed to do. No limits are being pushed, and there is no whack-a-mole on the horizon.

Even if the limits get reduced at some point, it would be because of political winds shifting, not because the current limits aren't doing what they were supposed to do.

I was under the impression that these two died due to Facebook. Facebook massively inflated video views (a video playing for 3 seconds without sound as it scrolled past in your feed counted as a view), these companies believed the bigger numbers on Facebook, so they heavily pivoted into Facebook videos over YouTube, with no monetization strategy, completely cratering in the process.

This is corroborated by someone who worked at CollegeHumor.

> Now that SCOTUS has denied cert this constitutes a final judgement

You still don't understand. This is in reference to epic's case. It not about other people's cases. The final judgement is on Epic. It is not on the upcoming US government case, for example.

Do you understand the difference?

Do a control F on the document for "Epic failed". Notice how the words "epic failed" are completely different from "everyone in the world has failed"?

This case is about epic's case, not others. Mostly because Epic did not provide enough evidence and failed on the fact finding portion of the original trial.

But that has nothing to do with if other groups provide evidence that Epic missed.

> Epic attempted to argue

Epic attempted to argue it. And epic's, and only epic's argument has failed.

I don't think you understand what a monopoly is, according to anti trust law.

A monopoly is not a single firm. Instead it is about durable market power.

https://www.ftc.gov/advice-guidance/competition-guidance/gui...

From the FTC:

"Courts do not require a literal monopoly before applying rules for single firm conduct; that term is used as shorthand for a firm with significant and durable market power — that is, the long term ability to raise price or exclude competitors."
