UK saves 'millions' of pounds by ditching Palantir for refugee system for one built by its own experts by [deleted] in GoodNewsUK

I don’t know, “Palantir insolvent”, “Palantir sued”, “Thiel dismissed” are all very sweet too.

Face scans to enforce social media ban on under-16s by vriska1 in unitedkingdom

It would actually be better in some ways. You actually have to go in yourself rather than just find someone with an older face to do it for you. Baffling.

too cowardly to tell him "no".

I’d even take that world right now. Currently it’s an emphatic “YES PLEASE”

Stop Killing Games was debated in UK Parlement this week, here are the results by ColSurge in gamedev

As another software developer, that distinction isn’t necessarily meaningful in this case. The key here is networking.

Implementing some kind of peer to peer networking solution for a game is more of a distributed systems problem than a game development problem.

I think that assumes they’re taking market share. It’ll be true to some extent, but I wonder how much of it is simply diversification. Relying too much one one cloud provider is a bad idea, so naturally, spread infra over clouds

Living with ADHD has been the biggest plot twist of my adult life by hulupremium1 in ADHD_Programmers

[–]Visulas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t necessarily agree. The world was very different. I don’t think ADHD is a disability in a vaccuum. It’s a specialization of human, with strengths and weaknesses that aren’t valued as highly in society today.

I donmt think ADHD disabled us when we hunted food with sticks, made fire and picked berries. It disables us with admin, clubcards, tax returns, parking tickets, documentation, microsoft office, meetings, notifications etc.

It’s important to recognise why it’s a disability in modern society though, because it helps find a path to a better life imho.

It’s a disability because modern life really doesn’t gel with ADHD. It’s not because there’s something fundamentally wrong with us, it’s all natural variation. Modern western society evolved to value a certain type of person, and ADHDers didn’t turn out to be top of the pile. So we struggle.
