Oh certainly not "check up", but try to get a human to look at it and respond to the appeal with more than boilerplate.

Sure, to me the ridiculous part is: - it's weird to be mistreated by your employer's own product (just the irony bend to it) - if you want to appeal after a dead end, your choice is to make a huge public PR nightmare, or try to ma

This story is just absolutely ridiculous: The poster _works at Google_ and even tried to escalate internally for days, to no avail.

Gatsby doesn't offer a syntax highlighter out of the box. It has markdown (and MDX) components that generate pages, and those in turn can have syntax highlighting plugins. AFAICT prismjs indeed is the predominant one used by Gatsby sit

Thank you! I'll bookmark this comment as I'm trying to take stock of what would be most helpful. There are two kind of opposing directions I see a need for: - "Beginner Unity" take tailored for an Engineer. E.g. let&#x27

I'm with you there, but (and, this is an unpopular opinion) I think it would be even better if it went the way of Go. Go will randomize iteration order of unordered collections (at least in development builds?) on purpose so you learn

Instructions of a "God" game object, try a ScriptableObject! But you're right cross object communication is tough. I end up relying on asset-ized SOs to do a lot of this. When communication between any two nodes is mostly one

Maybe a less intense example here is, for example, custom shaders. You can get better terrain systems that do exactly what you want, etc from the Unity asset store. Especially for a software engineer, there's of course always the fanta

Unity is unlikely to unseat Unreal as the primary engine used by AAA games/movies, but it still has a decent share in both AAA games and movies. Still, the game engine market is unlikely to be dominated by a single player anytime soon.

That might be true for for some terrain systems, but AFAICT it is still common for other objects (e.g. units, buildings, etc.) to be loaded like that.

There is a market for purely code-generated games, and especially so with procedurally generated games. But honestly, for most cases, yes I think the 90th percentile answer is to get over this. I kind of wrote about "keeping it all in

Real DOD-style ECS is being baked into the core of the "new way" of programming Unity, but a lot of that is in preview packages. Much of how Unity is used today actually involves very little ECS. See https://unity.com&#

Totally agree! It's also actually a bit harder, I think, because making games is a bit creative/artistic. You'll often see forum posts/answers on "getting something to work" rather than "good architecture&

I'll have to check out Heaps. But you're totally right that the "Unity way" of using the editor isn't how a lot of us would naturally gravitate to creating a game. I learned to like it, though (I think). For me, I r

It's not just about "developer interoperability" vs "program interoprability". Implementing Java APIs means that entire libraries can run. Sure you might not be able to take a legacy SWING Windows Java app and run i

That's uncomfortably close to Eurocentric claims of superiority that point to their colonization and exploitation of other countries in the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth century. I don't necessarily buy it. A pacifist civi

I'm surprised no one here mentioned backwards compatibility as the likely ultimate reason Microsoft hasn't fixed this by default yet. As others have mentioned, the "fix" of turning off auto-formatting is already availabl

Isn't documenting the failures the important first steps? When people seem to deny that these failures exist, deny their frequency, deny how horrific some of those failures are, etc.

Is there an okay percentage of brutality by police? When a failure in the system happens, it needs to be magnified, studied, dissected, and the system must evolve to make sure it doesn't happen again. This is how we have safer nuclear
