Your scheme would apply for any sort of licensing, permissive or not, and is certainly not constrained to using creative commons. It's also flawed in the same, albeit weak, manner: the source it was stolen from predates the stolen copi

I tend to coach the question to prevent people from giving it a softball, with something like "I have certainly caused my fair share of crisis, what I'm interested in is the experiences you ..." It's an adequate test to

I like "Tell me about a time you failed miserably, absolutely and unequivocally, and how you recovered from it." It's surprising how illuminating the responses are.

The folks begging the artist not to release their tools are sort of approaching this from the wrong direction. The problem isn't the tools, which given the information in the article can now be reasonably replicated. The problem is acc

I'm aware of options like SDL, Raylib et al; despite that, indie is still dominated by editor-heavy tools, like Unity. I've been shipping games for nearly 20y; indie and AAA, and good Editors always win. Even programmer-focused pi

If you're not using an engine, with a good editor, then you're already firmly among a niche few. The asset pipeline has been the dominating concern in game development for decades now, folks who willingly toss all that aside to wr

by dleslie 4y ago
What's the asset pipeline story? Is there an editor, even? What it looks like is another Raylib, Allegro, Ogre, etc; an engine these days can be expected to have tooling for artists and designers first and foremost.

Game developers generally persist hand to mouth. Rust isn't popular with us simply because there isn't a Unity or Unreal that offers Rust as a first class offering, and so it's up to the rare few who are interested in buildin

Mine are minimal; I pay no annual fee and no interest if I pay off in time. So they're effectively just the transaction overhead, which debit demands as well.

Yes? I don't see how helping my fellow citizens, and myself, at a vanishingly, immeasurably small cost to myself is a bad thing.

I made money on crypto, and still believe it's just a Ponzi scheme that's wretched for carbon emissions. I'm certain that I'm not alone. The fact is that crypto doesn't really solve any pressing problems for normal

Because WFH untethers companies from time zones and, if embraced, this makes core hours a quaint and unworkable concept. I have coworkers on every continent and in most time zones, so I have no core hours to abide by. If I did, then some of

That depends on whether or not their contract defines core hours. Frankly, if you're being made to work like an hourly compensated employee, then you should demand to enjoy the benefits that entails, like OT, or switch to an employer w

As long as they deliver on schedules they commit to and are agreed to then it's not a problem to have down time. Even when I worked in an office I would take long walks or leave early, because a rested and happy mind is a productive mi

If they're clocking hours or missing scheduled meetings that's a problem, if they're paid salary and aren't on call or needed in a meeting then their lack of availability is fair.
