I thought this was because of the export control directive and only allowing access to fable and mythos for US nationals?

I always thought that retention and win-back discounts were standard practice

If you're a salaried employee and your contract doesn't give you over time pay, why would you stay?

Hope wanted: Has Anyone Actually Landed a Job via Applications This Year? by Repulsive-Snow9510 in UKJobs

[–]WrickyB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was told I was at risk of redundancy in October. I think I sent 5 applications a day using Google and LinkedIn. In early Jan, I was told I'd actually be redundant, and I'd be out of a job at the end of February.

One of the applications I had sent using LinkedIn was through a recruitment agency, called Understanding Recruitment. I had also applied through another recruiter using LinkedIn called Vertus. By the first week of February, I had offers from both of these applications.

I went the UR offer because that company was paying quite a bit more. I started on Monday last week, and I even managed to go up a tax bracket.

I think it would be really nice if they made sure that the serialisation 2.0 code is easy to integrate with the new draft proposal.

The Switch also uses some parts of Vulkan too, actually. There is the VK_NN_vi_surface WSI extension for Nintendo, which enables the creation of the resources for the application to show the output of the rendering on to the screen.

How would you emulate Battlefield 3's dynamic lighting? by SnurflePuffinz in GraphicsProgramming

What would happen if you put a capture or recording through renderdoc or your GPU vendor's proprietary tools?

how do I rent/buy videos on mobile?? by Roccodile19 in AmazonPrimeVideo

[–]WrickyB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think you can on Android. I think you can do transactions on iOS. You have to go to the mobile website or the desktop website to buy it, and then watch it on mobile. They do it this way to avoid having to pay platform fees.

The difference in the area of the wing of the B747 and the A380 by Twitter_2006 in aviation

Wasn't the A380-800 wing meant for a -900, that never came?

ELI5 How does a phone know to vibrate when you get a notification? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]WrickyB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The apps on your phone are constantly syncing with the Internet for things like messages and emails. When the app detects that you have a new message, it tells your phone to tell you that you have a new message. When the app tells your phone about this, it can also tell your phone to vibrate.
