  • Did you send in the Human fleet to defend the Citadel from the Reapers, or did you hold back ensuring Humanity had the biggest fleet after the attack?

  • Trump files complaint over ‘foreign interference’ by Labour Party in US election

  • Good luck. Labour ran on a "Not the Tories" campaign. Which worked because of the 12 or so years of Tory madness.

  • Trump: ‘I Need the Kind of Generals That Hitler Had’

    Jump

  • Hitler's generals we're largely good generals. Many came from the Prussian school of war.

    The Allies didn't try to assassinate Hitler because Hitler was causing so many military blunders by thinking he knew better than his generals and overruling them.

  • If they don't win then they can't pay it back. If anything it gives an incentive to lend them more.

  • British Private Schools:

    Fagging was a traditional practice in British public schools and also at many other boarding schools, whereby younger pupils were required to act as personal servants to the eldest boys.[1][2][3] Although probably originating earlier, the first accounts of fagging appeared in the late 17th century.[4]: 23  Fagging sometimes involved physical abuse[4]: 23–25  and/or sexual abuse.[5] Although lessening in severity over the centuries, the practice continued in some institutions until the end of the 20th century.[4]: 23–25

  • Ahh yes the: we can't have self signed certificates for security reasons but also can't open up the environment to the web, and we dont have our own CA server, trifecta.

    Solution: awkward, manual, certificate import process from a 3rd party vendor.

  • How do I stop slef sabotage and procrastination?

    Jump

  • I do this:

    1. Tell myself I'm not going to do it. What ever it is, I'm not going to do it.

    2. Do the bare minimum thing like: open up a word document, turn on a tap to wash dishes, take something out of a box.

    3. By commencing the task I'll usually default into doing the next part like reading the document, washing a dish, sorting something out.

    Additional tips:

    • Break big things into small chunks.
    • Dont get overloaded. If your a room do it one draw at a time so you can stop when ever. Getting trapped in a "I can't sleep until this is finished" task is a trap.
    • Lists to keep track.

    P.S. I was in recruitment 13 years ago and once thought about throwing myself down the stairs to get out of work. I did that job for 2x years and used it to move to a better industry.

    You can make change in your life.

    Good luck, we're all counting on you :)

  • Skyrim lead designer says Bethesda can't just switch engines because the current one is "perfectly tuned" to make the studio's RPGs

    Jump

  • I get your logic but Source was developed as a foundation engine and it had a road map to improve its performance and graphics. Example: HL2 vs Dear Ester.

    Cry Engine again, designed to be perormant and push graphics. Opened up to multiple developers as a service.

    Bethesda's engine is tuned for RPG elements, fair enough. But there is apparently a limit to how graphically rich it can get.

    Bethesda have pushed there engine as far as it'll go. There ex dev is saying "it isnt the engines fault the RPG was bad." These are 2x separate issues.

    There will always be tech debt making large scale IT changes.

    RE the point on Risk, I'd write it like this:

    IF the engine is changed THEN there could be a delay to current projects. Mitigation: finish projects in flight. Start new projects on a new engine.

    How about this risk:

    IF the engine is not able to be modernized THEN there is a risk that Bethesda games fall beind their competition. Mitigation:

    1. Better RPG elements (Dev says this didn't work).

    2. Migrate to a new engine in a rush when the next project doesn't sell (cutting corners on the tech debt).

    P.s. do you have a good definition of tech debt? Ive always used "Something we need fix in the future." Quite loose but ive had lots of arguments about this lol

  • Valve reminds Steam users they don't actually own a darn thing they buy

  • What happens to a steam account when someone dies? Its not like Steam does a lookup against a deaths register.

    If the password is handed on, is the account auto deleted after 120 years?

    If someone dies at 20 does the account live on for another 100 years?

    I get the legality aspect, but how is this handled in practice?

  • Skyrim lead designer says Bethesda can't just switch engines because the current one is "perfectly tuned" to make the studio's RPGs

    Jump

  • I think were seeing diminishing returns in graphics. Some games are almost photo realistic.

    This means that any engine capable of these graphics will be largely future proof.

    They should bite the bullet and build/move to a new engine. It likely won't need changing unless there is a major breakthrough.

  • It’s too late to save Britain from overheating, says UN climate chief

  • This is a bit different from the IPCC forecasts.

    Is there an updated, well regarded, set of regional climate predictions?

  • He’s Known as ‘Ivan the Troll.’ His 3D-Printed Guns Have Gone Viral.

    Jump

  • I've never really understood the 3D gun printing use case.

    Yes, they can fire bullets but bullets are illegal where guns are illegal.

    Am I missing something?

    There were cases where decommissioned guns could be bought in the UK (firing pins removed). Gangs were recommissioning these guns by adding the removed components.

    However, where do the bullets come from?
