I have no stake in this, but at the mention of Photoshop I have to say...I bought Affinity Photo a couple weeks back, and it's fantastic. Runs without issue on my underpowered MacBook Air, and cost less than $40. I'm super happy to see such a strong competitor in this space.

Surely things have changed between then and now.

We're talking about visual phenomena, and we capture video constantly.

Have a link?

Also, french.

That, or they're pitting union and non-union members against each other.

Stadia is free if you're happy with 1080p, and you purchase games on top. The pro subscription is around $10/month, but adds 4k res and a few new games every month.

I'm curious about what you see as the end state.

What does this possible outcome mean for the people who are making games now?

What does it mean for the entrants?

Both short term and long term. How do you see this going?

Or maybe do both? I don't see Americans getting rid of their cars, so look at it as harm reduction.

I have belonged to teams with abusive elements, and it certainly felt similar to what the author describes (while not nearly to the same degree, and for that I feel for them).

Approaching HR or higher ups at the company doesn't feel like an approach that is likely to bear fruit. It sucks, because it should, but reality is that you're likely to be labelled a problem — especially if it's your word against a team that is as closely knit as this one is described.

I have to wonder whether gritting your teeth and trying to get through it is a better approach (that is, if you want to stay). There is something about being friendly, eager, unemotional, and unopinionated that tends to placate the jerks.

You only have to do this as long as it takes to escape to a more emotionally supportive situation. A couple good review cycles, and you can wave goodbye.

I realize that this may not be possible depending on your situation. Just an anecdote.

In any case, I hope the author lands on their feet. Don't let it get you down.

I mean, this is exactly what aria attributes are for, right?

Hm, interesting. Thanks for the details.

Ping to stadia.com? Is that where the stream is coming from?

To be clear, he wasn't saying that to her. He was weighing in on the "saga".

Read the article.

But getting better all the time. I actually now have more than I have the time to play.

That said, I'm coming from not having a console for many years, so all the games are brand new to me. :)

Stadia is great, and I think people are starting to see that.

pfffft

Seems like USA and UK fucking it up. Who else?

...so in what way do they have the lead?

Should have been "could"

Maximize resource collection and manufacturing? Surely there's usefulness in raw materials.

In what sense? It poses no threat to us.

We all make enough mistakes to go around.

Why would a gaming company have any interest in your medical records?

This couldn't possibly be true, could it? Bad copy paste job?

"Ablation: No Monotonic Interpolation" is my favorite — wait for it...

I'm unexpectedly renting a house in Toronto. It ticks all the boxes, but is a bit of a junker.

Well, one of it's bedrooms was wallpapered and ancient looking. Very ugly. I decided to take care of it.

The wallpaper, and the three papers that came before it, are now stripped. The wall is in rough shape post-strip, and I'm repairing it. This room is on its way to perfection.

I've never done this before, and had no idea how much fun it is. There is no mistake that can't be fixed, and the instruction on YouTube is amazing. I'm having to reel myself in a bit, because I keep on noticing other things I'd like to fix myself. :)

It's sort of like the experience I had when I first started writing software. The power! My creativity is kicking in hard.

A three year old package would be an issue with Flutter. The move to Dart 2 was not backwards compatible.

That said, there's an effort in the community to find maintainers for older packages that people find useful. If you come across something that you need, post back, or shoot me an email.

I've been building in Flutter for desktop (macOS) for a year and a half. It's _still_ feeling early, but if you're comfortable writing a bit of native code, it pretty much just works (for single window applications — hopefully that changes soon).
