IIRC, the Tesla traffic visuals use Godot. The Rivian screens use Unreal Engine. https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/spotlights/rivian-brings-...

I love any opportunity to suggest people try out Brogue. It was developed with the idea "What would have happened if development continued on Rogue?" Info here: https://sites.google.com/site/broguegame/

Applying to and taking a new job requires bidirectional approval and sense of fit. The way a company conducts its interview process is a reflection of the corporate culture and sometimes is enough to erode the sense of fit on the applicant&

That will never happen because there are too many other power-hungry people in the GOP who are not going to just let Trump sit in the White House indefinitely, if for no other reason.

Laudspeaker looks very useful but also a bit underbaked. For enterprise settings, you may want to consider its segmentation and journey capabilities in the context of orchestrating a suite of other tools that already are available. In our c

We do overlapping inserts and let ReplacingMergeTree remove the duplicates. You can use the FINAL statement on select queries if you’re concerned about queries returning duplicates before the Clickhouse backend performs the deduplication mu

I work in gaming and stream events into a self-hosted Clickhouse db without Kafka. We just use the CH python connector and send records in batches of 100K, using ReplacingMergeTree for backfills, etc. It works very well. Unless you truly ne

How are you going to feel when a random person you've never seen shows up and pushes deploy on your production code on a Friday afternoon? What is it that makes you think that this is a field that doesn't require training. Ever he

Sure, talk to the American Red Cross Society, which is the only nonprofit with a Congressional mandate to provide services during disasters. During Katrina, their Volunteer to Paid Employee ratio was about 64 to 1. It literally is an organi

I've spent a significant amount of time working in disaster response. In the US (and probably elsewhere), you have "Disaster Cowboys." These are people who are untrained but fancy they know better how to do things than people

I don't find them useful for coding much, but I do find them useful for searching through documentation and making suggestions. With Cursor, you can have it reference the docs for the library/framework you are using and then ask i

I'd like to see them sell a dock and turn the phone into a full blown gaming console that you can pick up and take with you, like the Switch.

My understanding is that it is somewhat common in adults to have a virus (cold, flu, etc) trigger a dairy protein allergy. They’re most often irreversible, or so the MDs told me. Anyhow, it’s been 15 years without dairy so I’m used to livin

I developed a severe dairy protein allergy in my late 30s. At first, I thought it was just a lactose issue but anything dairy triggers it (with symptoms aligning with vasculitis). While I'm not vegan, it's just easier to eat vegan

Unity issues aside, Godot is awesome! I'd love to see an integration.

I’m not sure if you use Ultimate Guitar, but if so, go look up a simple fingerpicked song, like Helplessly Hoping, by Crosby Stills and Nash. If you look at the chords… well, that’s a straightforward view mostly for people interested in str

No, I really just want the chord name: C, F#, G/B, etc.

As somebody learning guitar and focused on fingerpicking... One of the things that bugs me about Ultimate Guitar tabs is that there are many places where it would help me better to learn to read the tabs if the relevant chord were displayed

I always bounce off of Factorio because I want to be able to play with the default settings but I always end up getting killed by bugs/aliens not long after starting the game.

How about hooking a camera up as input to some generative art algorithms in p5.js, Processing, or similar. Kids move/dance in front of the camera and the results are projected on an adjacent screen in realtime. Then you can save the pi

Varroa mites are a vector for diseases and fungus and most likely the distal cause of most of the dying colonies. If they are not aggressively managed, they eventually lead to the death or absconding of almost every colony.

I'm not sure it's the downturn, necessarily. I used to be enthralled with tech, full of energy to explore new tools, programming languages, etc. I think I slowly awoke to the fact that it's not the tech but the people that ma

Not sure where you live and whether there's an opportunity nearby, but curling is a ton of fun and a very social sport. Check to see if there's a local curling club and, if so, whether they have an instructional league. I really e
