Do we not have enough of these fully featured game engines? Game development has become so bloated these days. You need teams of hundreds or even thousands of people to create a full game. In the PS1 era some of the best games were built by a team of a dozen or so people working for 1-2 years. Instead of focusing on graphical fidelity I think we should be focusing on lower development time, gameplay features/diversity, stability/portability and implementation. I have yet to see a proper open world game (Think GTA but you can enter every room in every building) with good draw distances that don't suffer from horrible pop in.
Also how about a game engine where it's easy to build games? The WC3/SC2 world editors are great examples, you can get started and start building stuff from the start. Even though it's an engine made for making RTS maps it's modifiable enough you can create FPS games in WC3 if your willing to put in the effort. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwtteOIksbo
It was behind some trees about 30-40 meters away, I ran across the street to get a better view(it was suspicious after all) and didn't notice much parallax shift, but I doubt I would have seen much against a blue sky. Obviously if you don't have a good view of a random object like that it's extremely hard to judge distance. It might as well have been a point object that's almost impossible to judge anything other than color/shape/movement. The movement is what made me realize it's a UFO, if it disappeared or kept moving at a reasonable rate I wouldn't have though twice about it since it's probably some white/silver balloon being blown in the wind or something.
Even if it was close by, you don't jump from almost stationary to the other side of the sky from your perspective at a reasonable speed.
I saw a UFO once, and it looked and behaved exactly like everyone says it does. Silvery oval shape, hovering and moving left/right in a straight line before accelerating at an insane rate. Moved across the sky in a quarter of a second. It was about half a nail's width at arm's length distance.
I did hear a stereotypically UFO hovering sound a few minutes later even though there was nothing anywhere around me.
Either this is psychological and people have some kind of built-in hallucination effect for this specific phenomena in the sky. Which is interesting and should be studied. Or it's the real thing. And if it's real it's not going to affect our life by any amount unless we want it to. If the aliens wanted to land and share information or anything else with us they would have done it already, and we can't force them to do any such thing so who cares.
I am also extremely skeptical of Roswell type claims of crashed craft, unless the aliens have horrible QA engineers or we get millions of visitors per century I doubt they would crash one of their flying cars on our planet.
Loneliness comes from a lack of community and people who you can trust. You will not build a community and find people who you can trust through small talk and involving yourself in groups that are based on transient interests that can be changed in an instant. There is a reason gangs and groups have some sort of hazing and acceptance ceremony.
I wonder how time zones on other planets would work once relativistic time dilation has to be considered. Add a multiplier to how fast your clock ticks? I suppose satellites should have this problem already resolved but only in Earth's sphere of influence.
Also simply travelling to Mars would desynchronize the time and would have to be resynced.
Just getting into FreeBSD and reading through the Absolute FreeBSD book right now. Remembered that Michael states "The main use for swap on modern systems is to have a place to store
a memory dump should the system panic and crash."
I think this is reason enough to enable swap even if you do not plan on using swap for system memory. It's always nice to have a memory dump if the system crashes so you can check what the issue was and correct it. If you wouldn't want to fix those kinds of issues why would you be running FreeBSD anyway?
Is this that dude who made a company that rehires cheap labor in the third world for $5/day to help with classification while his team sits back and gets all the benefits?
The guy wants his company to be more of a cult than a value producing service. Makes sense.
People who care do put in more of their effort and get better results, but you have to give them an incentive for them to care. If your company fails, they get fired. But if your company grows and becomes 10x more profitable, their wages don't move. That's a great recipe for people doing the absolute minimum to not get fired.
This guy wants people who care more about him and his company than for themselves. "Ask not what your company can do for you – ask what you can do for your company"
And get sued by Google? You aren't allowed to use them to train anything that could compete with Google's business or products as part of the usage agreement.
It could be a good place where you can network a find a way to transfer to the US. But staying in Canada permanently working in Tech is a bad idea salary wise.
I highly doubt an intelligent psychopath who knows how to manipulate people and knows what to say can't get through this "comprehensive psychological evaluation". If you want to kill people you aren't going to tell others this in the open, or admit it on a test.
Unless those tests include CT scans of brain activity I wouldn't trust it. And that would only disqualify people born with some sort of problem, not people who develop it because of upbringing.
Many police departments do not screen for psychological pathologies, and even if they do would they really work for psychopaths who want to kill people? For someone who is a blood thirsty psychopath who wants to get away with murder, is there anything better than working for police/military since they can just say "It was an accident."?
About 1% of the population could be considered psychopaths, so there would be plenty in the police/military.
Did you ask anyone if they would be willing to pay for the product before creating it?
And maybe it failed to make money, but did it solve what it was trying to? If it did I don't think it failed, you just decided to make a product that wasn't commercially viable.
As an addition, your opinions are mostly formed from the information you have and haven't been exposed to. It's easy to come to a conclusion if someone feeds you specific facts you can verify. But there may be other facts that can change the perspective that are not so easy to verify.
We don't have perfect information, so clinging to a perspective is bound to create some sort of conflict when you are exposed to valid information that may change your perspective. Either you discount and ignore that information, or you are forced to abandon your identity and get emotionally hurt(which can be a good thing if it causes growth and maturity).
