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 bu…

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 th…

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 mes…

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 co…

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 moni…

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 activitie…

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 …

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/…

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…

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, Lab…

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 …

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/Unit…

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 …

For consumers: YouTube is essentially infinite in scope, and allows you to follow your interests. For creators: Marketing is as important as ever

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 a…

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 explo…

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 mor…

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…

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 pr…

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 Duoling…

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…

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 simultan…

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 …
