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)
Generative AI has taken off so much because it works so well out of the box and can be interacted with by anyone.
The examples you gave require training specific to the role it will fulfil - that requires expertise, data and money - and needs to be repeated for every use case!
That has existed, and will continue to exist, but is not something g the average person, or even the average developer sees.
Combat is much easier to run than RP, so most of not all sessions will include combat (especially as all our sessions are evening ones after work). That said, apparently one of the best sessions I have run had zero combat, so it can be done.
Most of the discussions about combat have asked that where possible, it should be dynamic, with destructible environments or things like that. (Even if the NPC's use them against the characters too).
SQL returns subsets of all tables with only those tuples that would be part of the traditional (single-table) query result set
So it returns only the data that would be returned from the query, so the filtering is done.
I can see some uses of it. If you look at what something like Entity Framework does behind the scenes to return nested objects, you can see how something like this might help.
EF can have big problems with "Cartesian explosions" if an object has two lists of sub objects to return, it will get listA length x listB length items due to how the joins work. You can see how this leads to the explosion part of the name (with more objects or lists).
Their solution is a "split query" option, that does each sub table as a separate query, then seamlessly gives you the combined result.
If a change like this let's you get those different table lists as distinct lists with the processing and round trip time of multiple requests then it could be a game changer.
Mastodon is a great platform. I have an account there, and I have been using it as a twitter replacement for several months. I have been using nostr for around two months. I have also read fairly deeply into how Mastodon and Nostr work. I think nostr is better. Here's why....
I feel like I may be missing something when it comes to BlueSky, or maybe both I and those trying it out are but in different ways. My understanding is that BlueSky is currently like the Mastodon Social instance is for Mastodon but of the AT Protocol under development, with the long term aim being that once their protocol is...
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.

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.
The exposed data included backups of personal information belonging to Microsoft employees, including passwords for Microsoft services, secret keys, and an archive of over 30,000 internal Microsoft Teams messages originating from 359 Microsoft employees.
In an advisory on Monday by the Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC) team, Microsoft said that no customer data was exposed, and no other internal services faced jeopardy due to this incident.
I generally prefer a mix of the two, you have a chain of linear logic that pulls out clean chunks into methods when they get two complex or need repetition/recursion etc. I would rarely have a method that is just a list of function calls.
As with everything, there isn’t a one size fits all ideal solution, it depends on the exact code.
Most of those (ignoring 1) are browser problems, not mobile problems. The browser’s handle it fine on desktops (most of the time)
I guess it’s mostly the mobile size sites doing extreme styling to get thinfs to fit (partly 2). I guess next time I find a bad site I should try it on a shrunk desktop window.
If they hadn’t done that, I would have had no idea who they were talking about. Sure don’t use their old name when talking to them, but you have to use it sometimes when talking about them or people will have no clue who you are talking about.
Unless it has improved since last time I used it then it’s awful to debug in the browser. I hate JavaScript, but would probably still use it for a new web project now.
As the title says. I severely dislike having to make accounts for every game publisher that wants to send me advertisements, collect data or whatever....
They do say this though “We also plan to support local and on-premises models. For local models, the supported feature set will most likely be limited.”
This is currently a no go at my place (I asked) but the ai and security folks were interested in that as it would allow on-prem/private cloud usage as well as the possibility of using targeted models instead of a generic one.
For example, in the comments on their announcement they confirm they are looking at Azure AI support.
Have you ever played a game and wondered what if you could do something that it doesn’t really allow you to do, for example being able to move around blocks in Minecraft fluidly instead of in sectors, edit the world in Hogwarts legacy with spells, be able to fly in a world like Elden Ring or Elder Scrolls with epic sky...
