It’s probably a single dev that made the decision, then moves onto something else. They (probably?) don’t have the ability to just raise a recurring PO etc to easily pay you and don’t care enough to worth through the paperwork.

If you had a paid licencing model they may have done it, or just found another lib/ wrote their own.

🤣

oooh, ty

they just send a OTP to your email with the idea that you should be keeping your email secure (and that email providers are more secure than they can be)

The whole site seems like a PoC - the accounts don’t even have passwords! (I could actually kinda get on board with this)

Yeh, they have managed to keep the range and attraction that you have both a new student trying to buy the cheapest possible set of furniture for their student flat and some rich retirees fitting out their holiday home buying in the same place.

I got a POÄNG chair, love it. But there are cussions for it that are more expensive than the entire chair I bought!

It’s amazing, and probably great for the upsell as there is always something slightly nicer.

It really depends on the company. You can make fully remote work, you can make 20-40% work or you can do 80-100% work. However the company needs to be run with that in mind to ensure good communication/team building etc.

You also can’t just change the rules. If you change the split someone is going to be unhappy.

(And accept that your possible talent pool is reduced when you don’t offer remote work)

Those quotes aren’t in the parent comment?

Could be supervillain problems 🤣 comments about wishing someone would go away and an underling resolves it’s in a more permanent way …

Probably not, it’s just that his entire exec team are spineless henchman.

I think the spacex team is still independent (ish) for now, I fear for them though!

I really want to see the email/message exchange preceding some of these changes at twitter/Tesla.

Is there any pushback/discussion any more, or does Elon just say jump and entire departments vanish?

Haha, so it was never AI? Just an Indian person getting annoyed at the people trying all kinds of weird tricks to see if they could defeat the ‘AI’ 🤣

It needs to understand that that code is bad to be able to do that though

For some slightly less common games: Golf with your friends is a great mini game to play, effectively really crazy golf online

From the Depths build ships/planes/tanks with entirely custom guns, engines etc. then play on the campaign map with fleets of these ships. you can make some really complicated vehicles if that’s your thing. Unlimited player count as far as I’m aware.

A less deep version of that is Avorion - Mine resources to build custom ships (less complicated) then even small fleets and do quests, make allies/enemies as you venture to the centre of the galaxy. Supports unlimited players as far as I’m aware. It also allows you to form an alliance to share resources with other players. Resource gathering (mining/salvaging) can be automated by your fleets if that’s not your thing.

Get a client (or instance) that allows it then 🙂

The historic high salary for COBOL Devs etc is also partially due to them mostly being old and extremely experienced senior devs

Kinda acceptable if you have a slow release cadence. Everything needs to be reviewed and fixed/accepted (with defect/US raised) before production though.

Needs to be in a smaller team with decent Devs too though!

I guess so, it depends how they are treating them though. Image files (probably) are not being used to distribute malware and are going to create a lot more dead links.

Is this change live? We could probably test it. (Re read the article - not yet)

It’s not as bad as the title - read the TLDR.

It’s a resonably sensible change. I wouldn’t be surprised if they extend it to images etc (on a longer timescale) as I keep seeing people hosting images off discord…

I prefer that they are spending the money one actually developing advanced/new engine technologies than just releasing a half baked cames and a huge profit.

They got loads more money than they expected and increased the scope to match.

(I agree on the pricy ships though)

Even if they went bust and the game failed, I would be happy if other big studios got the engine.

I will believe it when I see it…
