Only until the precedent is set that you need to tip $$$$ or else you're a cheapskate.

I used to think that. Then I lived in Japan where not only do they not tip, they refuse tips. Haven't seen any issues with the service. So no, tips do not promote a better customer experience.

It's somewhat infuriating. You use to tip waiters/waitresses. They took your order and brought it to you. Now they ask for tips when they do none of that. Every non-chain fast food joint / coffee stand where all they do is st

I watch a lot of old movies (30s-40s-50s). A ton of them have a 40s-50s man marrying a 20s woman. No idea if that was societal norm, mens fantasy, or whatever. I have to kind of believe movie execs would want the largest audience and so if

I don't think it will ever happen except for toy projects. If you're manipulating some small list of 10-20 objects and those object have some kind of useful visual representation then for some small use case you can possibly, mayb

For some reason that reminds me of this totally unrelated animation, "To Be" about teleportation from the 80s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocgFkHElzgQ

For me, before I even get to packaging, I hit the install/environment issue with python. Python, by default, wants to be installed at a system level and wants libraries/packages to be at a system level. That shit has to stop. The

No one can touch you but they can hurt you in the same way people hurt others online all the time. Verbal abuse, name calling, derogatory remarks, unwanted solicitation, etc...

This is extremely cool! I haven't much of a clue on motion capture. But, the capture I want to do requires feet, hands, face, shoulders, arms, knees, fingers, AND the ability to do it in any position. Curl up in ball. Roll over on the

That can go both ways? I agree that I like when functions are not special so instance.add(10) Is just sugar for add(instance, 10) and you pass anything that fits as the first argument. But, following the "syntactic suga

It is the command pattern with the added stipulation that there must be some way to represent every command as a simple command line like expression. MelScript commands look a lot like shell commands. Maybe that's not a requirement. Ad

I tend to agree with your POV but as a counterpoint, in Japan it's against the law to film people in public without their permission. A shot of a crowd is unlikely to get you in trouble, and in fact, a shot taken without permission but

Agree to disagree. Saying git exists therefore it should be used it like saying is all you have is a hammer everything is a nail. You wouldn't use a hammer for a screw and you shouldn't use git for art assets. git-lfs only solves

by pronlover723 4y ago
I'd argue you're using the wrong tool for the job. Git isn't designed for art assets in games, it's design for text based source code. Everything else is an afterthought. Games, especially AAA games, have 10s or 100s of

This is one of the things I used to like about Maya. It appeared to be a command driven editor and everything you did in the UI translated to a command line command. You could set it to show the commands and even capture them and use them a
