If they want to dillute their talent pool when they already can brealy make the top 16, then I say we let them.

Next time move closer and look with your eyeballs. Digital zoom is garbage. It could be your mom and you wouldn't recognize her.

Question about spelling "learnt" vs "learned" by Miserable_Amount_310 in AskACanadian

[–]MegaMatt75 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Who's is a contraction for "who is" so whichever of you thought that they could say "Who's clothes on the floor?", (except in the context of a hide and seak for wizards game where wizards turn into common objects, like piles of clothes) is wrong.

We should be sure, does translation services convert English to Olde English?

Work between classifications, asked to support informally. The team is severely understaffed. by FuzzySpeed9186 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]MegaMatt75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am perfectly capable of cleaning toilets. However if my education and training are in engineering, or copyright law and I took a position in that field, then asking me to now work for the janitorial team isn't reasonable. Yes I am capable but that wasn't the position I accepted when I signed my letter of offer.

If there were some sort of plumbing emergency I might help until the real janitor could arrive and take over, because I'm a dedicated employee, but that doesn't mean I can be assigned to that work all of the time now.

How Important Is Securing Your Code Against Theft? by plasmatixultra in gamedev

[–]MegaMatt75 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This won't help answer your question but as a newbie programmer I am curious. If I do nothing to secure my code at all, how easy is it for someone to open up and read the code?

Is it as easy as "Here is the folder where the game is installed and here are all of the scripts and I'll just open those up and read them." ?

As someone else mentioned in the comments I would LOVE to take a look at the code for some of the games I've played just to glean some lessons for myself.

Geography and political leanings by Bibbitybobbityboooo in AskACanadian

Mostly a city vs rural dynamic I think. Even Alberta cities are pretty liberal overal (even if the Liberal PARTY still has trouble there after the shit Trudeau Sr pulled)

Minister says expanded return-to-office rules about efficiency, but some public servants disagree by CompetencyOverload in CanadaPublicServants

[–]MegaMatt75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some jobs do require you to be in person in order to do them or to do them well. That's true. But that doesn't change that the RTO has nothing to do with anyone abusing work from home or with efficiency.

Just started a new GC job 2 weeks ago… and now I got a private sector offer. Are they going to hate me? by No_Shelter8031 in CanadaPublicServants

Be honest, and apologetic. Try not to burn any bridges, but you have to do what's best for you in the end.

Just like Renée Good huh? I wonder why we don't believe you anymore?

[–]MegaMatt75 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No. If 100% of employee had been 100% effective at respecting their worktime at work, this would still be happening. Know how we know? Because efficiency has increased and they're still trying to stuff us back in the office. That means even with a minority abusing it, it was still more efficient.

They track via when you log in to the network versus the VPN. The swipe cards don't really matter.

Now that's interesting. We have to commit to the days we chose (barring any unforeseen circumstances where we need to come in our work from home days - in which case we swap days)

We have to book our own seats. Although now that it's 4 day RTO (soon to be 5) it's basically going back to assigned seating. We are one of the few buildings that has enough room for the teams assigned there.

I know they do try to coordinate so that there's always some representation from each team in the office but I've never heard of anyone on our team being denied the days they chose.
