Eh... that's the voice of one regulator and you never know who may decide to be more draconian with the regulations. My suggestion is to read it yourself and think carefully about the various data protection and portability requirement

It drives me nuts when the "screenshots" aren't screenshots on this type of project. It's a complete blocker to me signing up.

My understanding was that they were going to have full support for Python 3 in the 3.0 release. Not sure if that survived the last 6 months. https://godotengine.org/article/beta-release-python-support

We've had this problem at the Whole Foods near me in Raleigh. It's likely we'll switch grocery stores soon if they don't fix it. For the past 3-4 months, most of the time we do our weekly shopping trip, the shelves are b

IMO, to start with AI, it's best to start as simple as possible so that you understand the algorithms that drive things that are accessible to tweak. If you are a gamer, think about the various AI routines that control pathfinding, res

I always preferred Kierkegaard's contemporary, N.F.S. Grundtvig. If Kierkegaard was "you have to be a good Christian before you can be a good person," then Grundtvig was, "you have to be a good person before you can be a

When governments are using Facebook as a platform for disinformation campaigns, other governments are going to have to get involved to regulate usage. Facebook needs to find its moral compass very quickly.

I often use the Dataset library (from Mozilla, I believe). It provides a lot of convenience for incorporating SQLite (and other databases) into Python projects and it's very easy to use it to fall back to straight SQL queries and other

I worked on Pharaoh and a few other games at Impressions, though I wasn’t one of the original Caesar I, II, and III team (or Lords of Magic, etc.). Nevertheless, we keep in touch though a Facebook group. Many remain in game development. My

I've been using this on the backside of Firebase Analytics (aka Google Analytics for Firebase) through the Firebase export to BigQuery. It's a powerful tool, but can be frustrating working with the schema that Firebase uses for BQ

It also seems to have some serious bugs. For example, none of their SQL Parameters examples[1] work with a Postgres connection. I just downloaded it this morning to give it a try after reading this topic. [1] http://www.metabase.c

I migrated a big data stack to GCP from AWS. Reasons: GCP has better documentation, the AWS console and various services confuse the heck out of me (I guess I'm getting too old), and the security integration between GCP services saves

They're completely within their right to make the decision that they've made. What I think is disingenuous is hiding behind some larger "moral code" reasoning. They're trying to make it seem like they're doing

I disagree with this in the context of their argument. If you own a business, you have the right to make "moral code" decisions about how your business operates. In the same manner that individuals who dislike big oil don't h

Unity has put a lot more effort into optimizing for lower-end iOS and Android devices. You can build a big shiny awesome game in Unreal, but it's unlikely to run on older devices due to memory requirements.

I think your best bet is just to refer to regions or specific countries. The "developing" part of developing countries creates a false dichotomy. The World Bank doesn't even use it anymore ( https://qz.com/6856

Fair enough. As somebody who has spent the past 15 years working in global health and international development, I can tell you that "third world" is considered pretty pejorative these days. While there might not be a convenient w

Use the term "third world" with your clients and they may wish to no longer be your clients. It's pretty outdated and almost never used in a professional context any longer. http://www.npr.org/sections/go

love2d is great. I've dabbled with a bunch of game engines and am an avid lover of Processing and p5.js, both of which are great for learning to code. Love2d is right up there with them, though the documentation is less newbie-oriented
