Of course, it is not always possible to avoid over-committing as sometimes the business calls for it.

Well that sounds like lazy acceptance of a bad situation for your team.

No mention of fighting for better terms for the team. If the business calls for over-committing you team, you or someone else in management have failed. Such a commitment may be indeed be unavoidable in that situation, but your job as a manager is to fight for your team to be additionally compensated for such an over-commitment.

even if it’s a blatant copy paste they can’t do anything.

They can sack you.

If your CV contains absurd claims about having learned all programming languages, I’d be surprised if you even got through to an interview.

And I though Peter Cushing’s appearance in Rogue One was a bit uncanny valley…

Some context:

At 116F you would require firm, continuous contact for more than 20 minutes to produce a 2nd degree burn, and over 45 minutes to produce a 3rd degree burn.

You should also try and get a letter from the company explaining that it wasn’t for performance reasons.

Excellent advice.

Exactly- I’ve been riding a $50 pair of Marathon Mondials for 5 years without a puncture, and the tech is well proven . Anyway, a sidewall cut in these new tyres is still going to allow the tyre to fill with water and road crud, so you are still going to have to repair bigger punctures anyway. Seems like an expensive solution looking for a problem.

What did they think Unity’s investors plans were, to endlessly subsidise a constantly loss-making platform just for the fun of it?

Unity have lost huge amounts of money, in fact never made a profit for a single quarter, while establishing more and more market share, and their customers never asked themselves how or why?

If your vendor is constantly making huge losses while establishing more and more market share, your guy in charge of the financial decisions should be asking themselves what the investors long term plans are. That’s not rocket science.

Not pro-corporate in any way, I don’t see how you could possibly read that into what I posted. But if you choose to sup with the devil, best use a long spoon.

Unity have already established market dominance, if not effective monopoly, as the mobile gaming development platform. They are in a position of power, they have invested large sums of money to get there, and there is really very little game developers with a product 1 or 2 years in development can do about it.

While this is going to be difficult for Indy developers, they really only have themselves to blame. Part of the task when you are making a major software platform decision as a company is to research your vendor’s financial strategy - that’s basic due diligence. Unity has been loss making for years, which either means they are not financially viable (and not a safe bet), or they are engaging in a strategy of establishing an effective monopoly position to later squeeze dependant customers until the pips squeak.

This is likely just the start, whether it’s through runtime charges, Unity control of in-game advertising, or huge hikes in seat license fees. Possibly all three.

Coming from the UK generation that grew up during the decimalisation process, and therefore being equally comfortable with both systems, imperial measures are far less intuitive than metric. Don’t mistake simply being being used to something as it being intuitive.

We use a base 10 numeric system because that’s how many fingers & thumbs we have. Having a system of weights and measures based on that decimal system, is far more intuitive than a system that scales up through orders of distance using different scaling factors at ever order, is so unintuitive as to be absurd.

LLMs produce code that is functionally error prone while looking reasonable (in the same way that it produces answers that are grammatically correct, correctly spelled, but factually incorrect).

As we all know, fixing bugs in someone else’s code is generally more difficult than writing the code correctly in the 1st place , and that’s going to apply to a LLMs code output just as much as a humans, if not more.

Both measures were according to the mothers’ self-reports.

In other words, this study has no real scientific value.

But there are many more problems with this “study” than just that.

Not everyone be any means, but if you admire narcissistic extroverts then sure, you’re always going to be disappointed.

Social media influencers are money-grubbing low-lives who will promote anything for some cash? Well colour me surprised.

Just FYI, there are some really wild drugs available in the Peruvian jungle.

But if they don’t know they have to knock “shave and a haircut” first, your job gets a lot easier and you’re dealing with a lot fewer nuisance password promptings.

Very good explanation. And the benefits are even greater: because there is absolutely no response until the entire secret knock is correctly used, the random guy trying to get in doesn’t even know if there’s anyone at that address. (In fact, set up correctly, they won’t even know if there’s really a door there or not)
