Just walking with Wesley in the countryside and we came across a notice board in the middle of nowhere. When I looked at it, there was a map. On it, a red texty bit said "You Are Here".

I had a half-dream this morning that Germany decided to re-divide itself with the old east minus Thuringia becoming an independent state called New Prussia and more autocratic in character and the old west went back to having Bonn as its capital … it was a bit weird but not all bad 😵💫 #Politics #ihadadream #Germany
Enne Koens - Von hier aus kann man die ganze Welt sehen Etwas langatmige Kinderidentitätsfindungsgeschichte, die etwas mehr Witz vertragen hätte können und deren Ende für den Leser doch etwas unbefriedigend offen ist.
at work they asked me how long it would take to do a project and I gave a presentation with a 9 week roadmap, with a deliverable for every week to emphasize that the estimated time was not padded. they say without a moment to even ponder it you have six like they think theyre captain kirk and not captain chucklefuck. ofc i will not be crunching instead i will be pulling "oopsiedoodle i need more time!" which for some reason is always more palatable than giving enough time to begin with
i asked to get ten hours of a junior engineer's time per week to help me and they said you get eight. even though a contract was recently dropped and there's a surplus of junior engineers at the moment. just for that im gonna make my minion give me 15
obviously i would not be asking my minion to work overtime i just know a lot of juniors are currently on "professional development" aka "study some shit and hope we dont lay you off" so they for sure will be able to give me three hours a day without having to stay any longer
The rationale for 8 hours per week was "well a junior could work under you one day out of four per week" (and I have six weeks to do this, so that's six days) okay so y'all would be okay if I pulled two sixteen hour days per week and then fucked off every Thursday and Friday, right? You're not??? Whattt??? But why??????
evidently MBA programs teach that if you refuse to give project leads enough time or people and the project somehow doesn't crash and burn that makes you a very smart and special boy
I asked for a specific junior A because the project involves functional programming to parallelize tasks on the GPU and that junior, as soon as A learned I had experience in such, came to me in breathless excitement asking for mentorship. I will be given junior B instead because "junior B likes shaders" yeah me too but HLSL and jax are not exactly... you know what never mind. A and B are both on professional development, I'll just use them both
ha ha my devilish plan to...do the thing they want
Junior A comes from an enterprise background and has experience in entity framework programming (a plus not just for knowing data structures but also because in past situations I have found it's very hard to get juniors who know only OOP to stop thinking in OOP patterns). Junior B is a technical artist and has experience in shadergraph. Can't wait for onboarding. Stoked to work with you again, Junior B, welcome to hell

Ganz böse Idee: Jeder, der in dem Alter noch einen Autoführerschein hat, ist auch dienstfähig, denn er bringt ja die nötige körperliche und geistige Fitness mit. 😉
Also verstehe ich es richtig, ab 65 soll die Fahrtauglichkeit regelmäßig überprüft werden, arbeiten bis 70 (weil die Rente mit 63 ja zuviel kostet und abgeschafft wird) und nach dem Renteneintritt beginnt das soziale Jahr, das natürlich für Umsonst gemacht wird oder (irgendwie schon machbar) wenn bezahlt dann doch versteuert werden muss.
Silksong si trovava craccato già dopo tre ore dal lancio e solo su Steam hanno contato MEZZO MILIONE DI ACQUISTI nella prima giornata. Forse forse forse perché se una casa di sviluppo si fa (a ragione) una buona reputazione e mette i propri giochi a prezzi popolari la gente (guarda un po') i giochi se li compra invece di scaricarli craccati?
Io da consumatrice (e perché no, da fan) apprezzo che una casa con una reputazione ottima come Team Cherry, pur sapendo di poter mettere un gioco a 40/50 euro perché la sua fettona di fan affezionati li ha, mette un gioco a un prezzo abbordabile per tutti.
Stesso discorso con TobyFox e Deltarune, che per la qualità che ha è praticamente regalato.
Piuttosto, tutta 'sta roba dovrebbe a mio parere farci riflettere sulle case di sviluppo/distribuzione, magari con molti più mezzi rispetto a un team "indie", che, al contrario, campano di rendita da anni e spremono i consumatori come limoni facendogli pagare 50/70 euro dei giochi mediocri per non dire pessimi.
Stessa roba con Baldur's Gate 3 : ha fatto il botto non perché era un titolo ultra famoso, anche se lo era, non perché lo studio fosse arcinoto (ora lo è) ma perché era BELLO. Fatto con cura da gente che si divertiva e voleva fare divertire gli altri. In questo caso il confronto è da fare con Dragon Age Veilguard e con gli executive di EA che non capiscono un cazzo. I giocatori vogliono giochi belli e sono disposti a pagarli il giusto. Che sorpresa, eh?
le grandi aziende sono dei baracconi enormi che devono mantenere attive una quantità di cose inutile (tra cui i padroni, soprattutto quelli). Studi piccoli non hanno l'extra, sono più sobri e concreti e come tale hanno anche spese minori. Certo, magari poi ci mettono 7 anni a rilasciare un seguito perché sono in pochi, però sempre meglio non avere l'overhead del baraccone da mantenere.
Oli vähän aikaa, niin tein laskelmat Suomen julkisyhteisöjen bruttovelan kehittymisestä tähän mennessä ja tästä eteenpäin eri politiikoilla. Näyttää siltä, että vasemmistolainen politiikka olisi selkeästi parempaa Suomen julkiselle taloudelle kuin oikeistolainen. #talous #politiikka #media
if you follow me and feel positively towards AI i should warn you that you will not find my opinions on AI palatable and you will not change my mind about them
I disagree, because when you say "feel positively towards AI", you are essentially giving up the foothold game development had for decades, to the new nomenclature of extreme fallibility and cost of LLMs.
We have been using 'AI' and 'Procedural Generation' for decades in games. That the LLMs now want to pretend only their thing is 'AI', is awful.
A full response would be very long and I have had this conversation a lot, so here is a video that explains it best: youtu.be/CeZ_rcDQg6Q?t=925

Meanwhile, my current big project, Cog, is somebody else's code that I forked and then piled over 2000 new commits onto.
Somehow I found it easier to start with someone else's complete project than to start my own project from scratch.
Which then makes me wonder what the heck is up with all the people who want access to my old code so they can fork it and continue to maintain it, when it probably wasn't that special or original to begin with. Which is doubly complicated by the fact I dashed that code to heck because the lead developer of the project I was extending is a fricking chud and I want nothing to do with him or the Windows operating system any more, and don't want to help people who want to work with him either.
@chris i mean it's fine to not want to do all the work of being an actual programmer. where i take issue is people putting together AI slop and proudly proclaiming not only are they real programmers, they're better and putting together buggy AI slop is the way of the future
The gatekeeping claims in this thread are crazy to me, this is not a childish "if you code in X you're not a real programmer because real programmers code in Y".
LLMs and "AI Tools" for programming are terrible, not only performing what's supposed to be their job, they also bring a lot of more problems outside and inside than actual benefits.
If you can't or don't want to see this, it's up to you, but don't expect me or many more to take you seriously, like at all lol
@NullTheFool sadly people generally aren't appreciative of being made aware that something they like, especially something that they recently got passionate about, is actually shit, damaging for them and for anyone around
