Protip: just do a nazi salute and Teslas will avoid hitting you

I just saw this late, but I agree here. Also they added CI to Github with very generous limits (which were promptly abused to mine bitcoin), whereas before you had to use something like TravisCI which hit free limits constantly or some complicated solution using your own Jenkins server. Not to mention very restrictive private repos before the MS takeover.

People just like to complain because "Micro$oft bad" but when you point out the facts it's just crickets...

 

Trump, who won reelection in November 2024 partly by claiming he could end the Ukraine war in one day, spent his first month in office posting cryptic messages on Truth Social about how the “deep state” was preventing him from implementing his genius plan. Now, with pressure mounting, he has finally delivered on his promise – by offering to surrender on Ukraine’s behalf.

Move fast and break things. What could possibly go wrong?

They use Bevy for ECS and custom rendering with Vulkan. It's right there in the article:

Anastasia started with Bevy because it was the easiest thing to jump into, and we're still using a modified version of Bevy to this day

Look, I get it that it's trendy to hate on Microsoft, but these complaints don't even make sense. You complain about requiring an account to contribute, and then you propose some other services that do the exact same thing! Turning github into a 4chan style free-for-all is a terrible idea. Maybe that's exactly why you VPN got blocked, because it's enabling spam accounts. And what info are you giving Microsoft to create an account? An email, a password and a username? Not exactly doxxing material, is it? I just searched for some code from one of my repos in incognito and it was the first thing that popped up.

Microsoft is not preventing you from migrating, it's just that there is no standard for issues, discussions, PRs etc. But every other service has an import tool that can do it if needed. And if you're only hosting code (doubt) you're a git remote add & git push away from being free of that evil Microsoft that is hosting all your repos for free.

I hate Microsoft and big corporations just about as much as anyone on Lemmy, but geez, pick your battles people.

Just commit to a different branch, and then rebase to main. If you're putting this shit into main, it's not the tool's fault.

If you use VSCode, Rest client is so much better than Postman. Requests are simple text files that area easy to edit, version and share with others

I unironically had a screening interview with a recruiter that asked "If you were creating a startup, would you use microservices?". She didn't like that my answer was "It depends, I don't have enough information to answer".

It's important to understand that this is not just individual greed. The problem is that greed is ingrained into the system. Capitalism simply does not function without greed.

The only reason shareholders will move their capital is if the company is expected to grow. What is the point in risking your money if there is no profit? This search for infinite growth is what leads to the death of products. It creates different objectives and incentives than simply making a good product that users will pay for and providing a steady job for employees. A situation where the company does not grow but continues to make a good product and pay its workers a decent wage is an acceptable one for everyone except for shareholders.

Executives are just the middle layer between investors and workers. They make sure that investors get their return on investment, since investors don't really give a shit about the product or even how it operates, they just care about the numbers on the balance sheet. And as someone noted in another comment, they are paid mostly in company stock so that the interests of shareholders become partially their own.

I never knew Google for Jobs existed. I will try it out, hopefully I can get something out of it before Google kills it.

Top 10 on the leaderboard get boosted in job searches.

But in all seriousness, this is why searching continuous growth ruins products. LinkedIn had a decent thing going as a job board a few years ago. Instead of focusing on that experience (which is still surprisingly underdeveloped) it added all this useless shit and became a Facebook with a paper thin mask of professionalism. It is now a place used mostly to spread toxic corporate culture and I dread its logo any time I open it to search for a job.

In a functioning society these fucks would have been sued into bankruptcy for suppressing those studies in the 80s. In our society they can continue to make record profits every year

 
 

The 2013 StackExchange post [^1] describes what is now commonly called an "archetype" based ECS architecture that was implemented as compile time archetypes in the author's open source project in Feb 2018 ^3. A similar ECS model was described later in the June 2018 patent filed by Unity ^2 and active since 2020.

It's useful to bring visibility to the issue for the inevitable patent trolling that will occur in the future.

I'm considering doing some freelance work as a backend dev. I have around 8 years of experience as a full time employee, but I'm not entirely sure how to get the ball rolling as a freelancer.

What are some good platforms to find clients? The only one I know of is searching job postings on LinkedIn.

Are platforms like Upwork and Fiverr good? I've heard that they're a bit of a rat race, and honestly looking at Fiverr ads it does seem that way.

 

I see this so often, but I don't understand it. Some people just fork a huge amount of repos and never commit anything to them. What's the point? Are they trying to pad their profile for potential employers or what?

It just clutters your active repos. Personally, I just remove forks once my PR gets merged upstream. And I only fork when I'm ready to push a commit.

Is there something I'm missing?

 

For anyone that has tried the 1.0 release of entities what do you think of it?

I plan on making a small test project with it soon and comparing it to Bevy.

I tried the 0.17 version a while ago, and I remember the API was a huge mess. I'm sure things could only get better from there.
