Why not bring this up in the retrospectives? Why not make your process leaner in the retrospectives? That's what they are for, no? Self-organizing teams is at the core of agile. So I hate to say it, but if you don't self-organize

I have an inside story about the Dreamliner. I know a person that was part of buying a few for an airliner. To my understanding there were 2 factories that made them, Seattle and somewhere in the South. There was a huge difference between t

Every country wants to have power, so in the end acts in its own intrest. We as civilians have to choose if we want to live in a democracy or serve a dictator. It's clear dictators like to invade democracies, as is the case with both R

China is making it very clear that they are thinking about "rejoining Taiwan to the mainland", which translates into "Invading Taiwan". So the next question is how US will respond. If the west chooses to defend Taiwan, t

Another old guy here. At it's core you are right, but it's also a very negative way to view the situation. Here is how I view it: You are selling your service to the company, so it's a win-win on both ends. You deliver a serv

It's all about the ethics of it. If my employer tells me to call a person and tell them they are fired because they did a bad job, but it's clear that this is not the reason, I would say: sorry, but I'm not going to do that.

This kind of problem is not entirely new. In the past this was "I read on the internet that ...". In the end the problem is that the artists don't seem to trust the developer. My basic response would be "If ChatGPT knows

The funny part is that they probably thought "Geez, why didn't they just copy paste this into an LLM detector?"

I'm also using box2d for collisions and simple physics. And the rest is custom written. No experience with other platforms yet. Probably iOS will follow at some point, but I want it to be more feature complete first.

It stands out because of the multiplatform targets. There is nothing comparable as far as I know. For the rest it's a very nice language with the usual tools. The multiplatform part is probably why it's so popular with game develo

The Haxe programming language ( https://haxe.org/ ). It's insane how unpopular this is compared to its value. "Haxe can build cross-platform applications targeting JavaScript, C++, C#, Java, JVM, Python, Lua, PHP, F

Ok I'll avoid personal attacks next time. But to be fair, maybe you should include a topic about spreading Russian propaganda there, because it's a huge problem in EU: https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/docume

Exactly! The North Stream (2) also indicated that EU wanted to trade with Russia. Looking back it might have been foolish, but hindsight is 20/20. A democratic Russia, with close ties to the rest of Europe, would have meant so much for

You think Russia wouldn't invade Ukraine if NATO said no to their membership? You're so naive.

by koonsolo 3y ago
NATO doesn't control any of the countries that decided to join. These are sovereign countries that decided to join an alliance for their own security. Most of the benefit comes from article 5 that protects smaller countries from being

Russia invaded Ukraine for the same reason it started a war with Chechenia and Georgia. Let me tell you: it has absolute zero to do with NATO. NATO however, has everything to do with Russia constantly trying to invade their neighbours. Besi

I also notice that the more complex a task is, the less hours of it I can do. If I know what to write, and I just have to crunch out pretty straightforward code, I can do more hours (nowhere near 12 hours though, maybe 8 at best). I can ima

I remember playing Dune 2 and having a blast. Later played the c&c series and also had a blast. Then went back to Dune 2, and oh boy those controls were terrible! You get used to new things so fast that you forget how it was before.
