Typically game/media studios run on contractors because of this. You'll be hired for maybe 3-6 months on a repeating contract, so that you can be let go at a moments notice. For businesses the labour entry point is crowded, wages

15 years here of game development. Hoping to add some nuance to your viewpoint. 1. Yes. Every studio is optimizing for a different set of problems. 2. We don’t need to re-invent the wheel. There is a lot of value to the consumer in good eng

As someone in the industry, I have not seen this across studios. If you farm out art, you end up with a confused set of props / designs. If you farm out code, you end up with a mess of different assumptions and patterns. If you’re desi

This is not true. Its users suspected to be underage which will be asked. Additionally, the law makes no judgement on the technology used to identify age, just that social media companies need to make an effort. I suspect that companies wil

Each company was required to put a statement to the eSafety commission explaining why they should be exempt from the law, even GitHub. The eSafety commission also have an open monitoring period where they'll repeal the law if it isn&#x

I feel as though the whole story isn't here, as there's one key detail that seems suspect from Wise's email: "Additionally, the reason behind our decision is because your activities exceed our risk tolerance." It se

EVs have an initial higher carbon footprint after production than ICE vehicles due to their battery. However, the initial CO2 footprint is dwarfed when compared to the operational footprint of ICE vehicles. Takes a few years for the scale t

Kurzgesagt mentions that their explanation is an over simplification; generally they are well researched and cite sources. The video discussed is this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPrjP4A_X4s I enjoy your perspectiv

That does sound ridiculous. They have market dominance because of the value that they offer. IBM is a great example of a company falling from grace; it happens all the time and can happen to Apple. Rent-seeking is a seperate issue, but no d

Great news for the Australian Government. Independents are representing more of the composition and will enable Labor to push harder on an ICAC and Climate Change. For example, Labor's NBN original proposal would have been great. Howev

Used Git with Unity for over 10 years. What problems have you run into? LFS is of course a must. No one should be diffing audio files via text haha!

The Unity Editor is moving towards being the container for extensible packages. There is source code provided for rendering pipelines, input handling, UI, and code compiling. This is a lot better than the Unity 4 days where everything would

Unity has changed their tact with features. Dogfooding with Animation, Game Development, VR/AR. You name it, they have an open source project to start from: https://github.com/UnityTechnologies/open-project-1 New

Studios already reuse a lot of assets to cut production costs. No use remaking the same rock so it can be sentimentally "unique". "Dall-E 2, show me Keanu Reeves emoting towards a celestial pigeon" is far fetched enough

7 year vegetarian. Recently found out I’m low on iron. Probably because I don’t eat fortified cereals. As a male, I’ve been told not to worry about my Iron intake- but that’s bad advice. Best is not to generalise and instead get a blood tes

I did a lot of stationary exercises using my own body weight to keep up my level of fitness. Nintendo's Ring Fit, Apple's Fitness+, even YouTube, there are so many avenues to explore. The other commenters are right in saying that

I have both a 13 Pro and an X. They have changed the computation performed, but I hesitate to say it's worst- just different. Halide has become my app of choice for when I want more control over that factor. The Apple thread you linked

They definitely optimise for user engagement. At first words, then sentences, then passages and short stories. This pathway has been effective for me, I've been doing Duo for a few months now! Which leaves me lost in your premise of &q

Ironically I don’t understand why my critique must be framed in an extreme context to be valid! Must have been because I read this comment from my mobile device. Time to get the printer going ;)

This has a fundamentally faulty premise that smartphones and paper are equals in delivering reading material, or that their format is preferable. Learning platforms such as Duolingo, Brilliant, or Khan Academy very infrequently give you a w

Am I supposed to practice driver minimalism to prevent a slew of tray icons from occupying my screen? It is poor design by having that be the form of which quick access to settings is provided. The tray icon paradigm simply invites clutter.

I think we agree in parts - my point being in the Gig economy? Contracting? You are not guaranteed retirement. If you work hard to become the best Uber driver, you are not simultaneously campaigning to be rewarded a 401(k). It is important

It means always working, regardless of circumstance. This might not seem like a problem while you're young and healthy, but as you age and enter the cohort of those who would like to retire, you start to be on the receiving end of disc

Your experiment speaks to how we interpret transgressions, and for that, it is true- taxes are seen as robbery. Does your nephew now own the sand he used to build that castle? I would hope not, as I think we’d agree, many kids would suffer!

If you’re working for someone else, the term for what you’re participating in is “hope labor”. If you’re okay with that structure, then I hope you’re okay with always being a proletariat. If you’re talking about working for yourself, you ca
