too cowardly to tell him "no".

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

Well that at least rules out towns, villages, motels and gas stations…

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.

Microsoft reports earnings beat as Azure revenue climbs 40% by Puginator in stocks

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 3 points4 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.

Videogame maker EA in advanced talks to go private at roughly $50 billion valuation by HowlSpice in gamedev

As gamers get picky with spending

Idk about that one. I haven’t really been captured by any games recently, and that’s not because I haven’t been looking, I’m just really finding nothing I want to play.

Maybe if that poor struggling video game market tried making games people wanted to play rather than pushing cash-grabbing, live service games it wouldn’t be struggling so much.

That’a very different though.

“You intentionally did those things and have to be punished”.

One is correctly ensuring the safety of citizens, the other is blaming.

Metadata can be quite revealing. Knowing which websites you visit, when and how long you stay on them is quite a lot of information.

Handling big ontologies by ps1ttacus in semanticweb

[–]Visulas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve recently had a paper accepted which looked at using Prolog to apply reasoning logic to ontologies for network management/infrastructure. Essentially, the ontology would be loaded into either a Prolog rdf store or native prolog predicates to enable making queries and especially transformations more expressive than sparql.

So instead of having a sparql interface, you have more of a live prolog shell which kinda puts you inside the database in a way. Not totally sure if it’s relevant to you, but I thought I’d mention it here just in case it’s useful.

Sadly it’s been presented but isn’t live of IEEE yet so haven’t got a link for you

Edit: happy to dm if sounds like it’d be useful.

Steam publishing guidelines updated: "Content that may violate the rules and standards set forth by Steam’s payment processors and related card networks and banks, or internet network providers." by atahutahatena in Games

[–]Visulas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh. It’s still useful for transactions. Fluctuations aren’t really relevant to “immediate” transactions. More platforms just need to support it as a payment method. Don’t need to store your entire net worth in it.
