When I was in Oslo a few years ago, every third car was a Tesla for whatever reason. Considering I haven't heard of too many catching fire there, I'd wager it should be fine.

And just for clarity, it's not proper Visual Studio, but rather an updated MonoDevelop. Was missing quite a lot of functionality (for Unity/C#) compared to VS, so I used Rider instead.

I wasn't aware of the business model, merely that it's conceptually similar, if a bit "web 3.0" in implementation. Not sure it's any worse than browsing with an ad blocker, in which case the websites get 0 revenue,

Fair enough, I am not advocating for that project, but it is close in spirit to what was described in the parent comment. Aside from that, I personally do not see the issue with being able to opt into automatic crypto payments for browsing

Brave browser does something similar with its attention tokens, which by default get allocated* depending on your time split between sites. *provided the site supports it, unsure what the process for that is. Some really weird ones do, like

I've had to provide them for 3/4 positions so far (in Australia), and have provided many references - usually over a phone call with a hiring manager.

MyPy provides static analysis that uses the type hints to actually, well, do things with it. Type hints are the specification, but MyPy|PyLance|Pyright|Pyre use those hints for and type checking.

With the passionate hatred both languages inspire, I'm not sure which is which in your statement. One could argue C++ gets even more done, since it is appropriate for use in more contexts, like firmwares/drivers, native SDKs, game

They were responding to a comment asking about Linux, MacOS, and Windows support. Needless pedantry is one thing, but deliberately misconstruing a discussion to support said pedantry is sad. https://news.ycombinator.com/news

Most people would struggle to finish a meal with half those calories, and rightly so - it's excessive. Strongmen could go over that amount a day when bulking, maybe, and that's about the semi-practical limits of the human body (wh

Hindi in the cities is interesting, it can turn into a 50-50 blend of English and Hindi, with English used for most nouns, and sentences strung together with Hindi otherwise. Having said that, actual conversational skills in English were la

From personal experience, I've heard plenty of caste-based insults when I was there a decade or so ago, as well as other forms of prejudice. This manifests most explicitly when it comes to marriages I think, but it would be naïve to as

I believe I have a fair bit of relevant experience! Would there be any one to have an informal chat with first? Sorry, don't know how these threads work. I'd like to get the ball rolling on relocating to EU next year; the product

Nope I'm in Australia, but the cultural differences are eroding over time, so not too far off anyway. As Rammstein wrote, "We're all living in Amerika; Coca Cola, sometimes war." > Part of the abuse is that it's

Remaining silent is certainly not a solution to the actual problem, for me it's just a heuristic to live a more convenient, less stressful life. Being an immigrant, I was asked what the nice way to ask someone what their ethnicity was,

The very peculiar capitalisations in that page just seem very... Twitter. It's like a passive form of rebelling against the actual rules selectively, and capitalising random words they deem important. Fair enough Twitter doesn't h

Ubisoft have about 5 engines themselves. When Microsoft acquires Acti-Blizz, they'll have close to a dozen engines under their umbrella as is, I think. UE being picked up by a AAA studio is news, because gamers associate UE with extrem

Higher quality than what I can whip up in Blender! But yeah, calling this high quality is quite disingenuous. I don't think this kind of mis-labelling is helpful or productive. The results are what they are, and a massive step forward

I suppose you are not mysoginistic enough for the joke. I'd say that is a positive.

It's not just the compile times that sting you in Unreal, but it's opening your project as well. With fast storage and a small startup level it's not terrible, but the close editor -> compile small change -> reboot proj

You can build the engine within 15 minutes? That doesn't sound right, unless you've got 32/+ cores and a LOT of RAM. Dunno what a P620 is, so that may be the case.

I haven't heard great things about it, but there is a Marketplace product that should let you do what you are after. Alternatively, you could just write the code you want in some BPFL file, and expose them as static functions. https:&

Conversely, when I was in Iran some 10-15 years ago, a few people mentioned wanting to be bombed/ freed from the government by the US. Our taxi driver in particular seemed to have a rosy mental image of what was going on in Afghanistan

Godot does not have relevant functionality though, out of the box, 3.X version are missing many features which prevent it from being easily considered for a major 3D game. I can see it being picked up at even AAAs for prototyping yes, but f

Please re-read the context of the conversation you're replying to - if Godot is not targeting the same market as Unreal, then you're agreeing with my point, not disagreeing. I'll recap anyway. > Unreal is winning the techn

by sk0g 4y ago
More relevant than Godot was at a similar age. Just look at the partners, for example. If the engine picks up steam, could easily see it becoming huge - at least as a base for in-house forks for studios. https://www.o3de.org&#x2F

Is it usable because it's... usable, or is it usable because it's barebones? It can be hard to tell the difference when it's pretty far from feature parity with the competition. FWIW, I don't think cornering the non-prof
