I was going to mention this as well. I am of the demographic squarely aimed at the NeoPets revival (late millenials/early gen-z) and not a single person I know views NeoPets in a good light after they tried to pivot to NFTs. I'm s

I don't understand how this is exclusively a men's issue. Now this is completely out of my realm as a gay woman but wouldn't this roughly mean that there is a similar amount of straight women who are single as well? In my exp

I find it hilarious that by just having fellow women exist it is somehow political... You do realize the overwhelming majority of computers in WWII were women right?

Do you have any source for this? A cursory search brings up nothing for me.

As someone who has done development work with Class A data and specifically in the realm of justice, soft deletes aren't simply a good idea, they are required by law. Most of these downsides are easily mitigatable issues as well. As ma

Having grown up somewhere northern that doesn't follow DST (Saskatchewan) I never really understood this argument. Winter months you get so little sunlight anyways I don't really see how it would make too much of a difference. Min

As far as I know this is still in A/B testing as well, and not a fully rolled out feature. I've had a friend with it for the better part of the year, yet I have yet to get the option on any of my servers.

The new ray tracing is being done in real time rather than being baked into the scenes.

Another film that deals with Nuclear Holocaust, albeit more of the direct aftermath is BBC's Threads[1]. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threads_(1984_film)

It may have changed, but back when we were looking into Engines to use, Unity had a completely free license until you hit $100,00 in sales or wanted to remove the unity splash screen on app launch which costed a then flat $1500 licensing fe

This is a huge jump from the previous $3000 per quarter being royalty-free when they initially made UE4 free. It will be interesting to see if it helps them capture more of the indie studios from Unity.

We have this growing wild everywhere in Northern Saskatchewan. I always was terrified I would accidentally touch it and die as a kid up at our cabin. Thankfully, once you know what to look for, it sticks out like a sore thumb.

I completely get that! I grew up in a large low income family, so I completely get that mindset of having a job above all else. What would your plans be if you weren't to strike out on this business? Another option is to always moonlig

Does that $600 make a large difference in your budget? Realistically, a one man operation shouldn't be too affected by this pandemic, depending on the market you are going for. Obviously industries such as hospitality are getting hit a

Oh for sure, I don't expect it to have any significant impact. Interesting point regarding HVAC usage, I am curious to see the density required for it to become a net positive.

It will be really interesting to see how much of an affect on Global Warming this Pandemic has had. I'm hoping if we can learn any lessons from this, it is better pandemic planning and larger companies finally seeing the benefit of rem

I really hope this is the case. The biggest issue I always have with the trackers is the granularity just doesn't seem to be fine enough. Mind you I have never tried Tile, so they may be better in that regard, but there is only so much

Bluetooth. I think AirTags will most likely use some combination of bluetooth and the new U1 chip included in the iPhone 11 Pro which should hopefully give it more granularity than a plain old bluetooth tracker would.

Irresponsible mostly. Bahrain has already said it plans to hold their Grand Prix in an empty grandstand. I do think the host tracks would prefer to have a full Grand Stand, due to ticket sales, but I'm not sure how much it would affec

Thank you! You said my words better than I could have. I probably shouldn't compose comments when I am rushing between things!

That makes a lot more sense to me. I do think both sides of the politcal spectrum are seeking to advance any parts of their agenda they can with this outbreak. I just felt that if something that ridiculous was said (and I am a fairly libera

I asked for a source where the quote is said as I was not able to find one, yet you still haven't provided one. Again, could you provide an article (Italian or English!) where "they" are telling you the only virus is racism?

Could you provide a link to where "the left" has said the only virus is racism? I wasn't able to find anything, but admittedly my Italian is not great. I find it hard to believe, and given Italy's recent problems with th
