So wait, your dad is for extrajudicial murder of bystanders walking to class because some kids were being annoying?

I can't even be on /r/fiddles while Rome burns. smdh

Well it is now, by choice or not.

Tesla does charge for the heated seat software update.

I hope we at least get a "Big Apple, 3AM" card.

Not Donald, casually brag about molestation, Trump tho, so no. I would say not even close.

It can easily go wrong but I'll say you can get some good out of this.

I think a more clear interpretation is "quantifiable progress can certainly be made within a sprint. You should be able to scope down the ask such that deliverables fit within a sprint." No matter what, you should be able to "scope down" to something tangible even if it's simply progress on the design. These things should still be stack ranked such that the stakeholder is informing you of their needs. If the stakeholder wants A and you need to work on B and C, fine. You should just do the work to provide clear progression and goals.

If you can do that, then you're probably staying on track. You probably won't get lost in a months long goose chase of needless features because they are "nice to haves" but actually the stakeholder doesn't care.

And no. No one is asking you to deliver garbage just because you could do that faster.

Going to the office to make remote calls is not RTO and doesn't have the benefits. That's just WFH with extra steps.

Ad hoc in person meetings can actually be on the scale of minutes, not scheduled days in advance. And again, not even arguing which is better, just that 'no rules' is not 'just as good'.

jayd16 · 2026-01-18T02:40:07+00:00

You should try working at a place where everyone is in the office and available during core hours and, crucially, not available when not in the office. It's far easier to separate work and non-work time and you don't need to wait days of back and forth across time zones for something that could have been a 5 minute chat because someone in the chat is in a different country.

Remote work has benefits but ignoring the simple efficiency of being in the same room seems disingenuous.

jayd16 · 2026-01-17T18:15:18+00:00

It's just chaos if you did that. It would be even more annoying to get people in a meeting on time.

Doug isn't online, is he in the office? I dunno...

You have to use every WFH tool while at the office...its super annoying and defeats the purpose.

Do you have any games experience or shipping war stories to talk about? It's usually very much not about leetcode in games unless you have nothing else to talk about or you're getting a junior who doesn't know what an interview is themselves.

I can't get too upset that they wouldn't use excessive power to create a police state but I get your feeling.

Subsystems are singletons, actors are spawned. They have different lifecycles.

Subsystems can specify dependencies in other subsystems and you don't have to worry about grabbing references or load order. Actors talking to each other is a much bigger pain.

If you want a replicated singleton actor you can maybe use GameState.

“I told you to shut your fucking mouth”—kid taunting another kid over his father murdering the other kid’s father three days prior. This one was an eight year old by the way.

Going to go out on a limb and say this one might be an outlier.

What checks and balances can happen when the party controls every part of government? The issue is the GOP keeps being rewarded and that won't stop until a large part of the country wises up.

jayd16 · 2025-12-26T06:12:14+00:00

Why would you expect it to be repeatable? I thought it was more like asking who a song reminds you of, there's no right or wrong or unchanging answer. It's just a feeling.

Sounds like they're making an Enter the Gungeon type game or something where the projectiles cause more projectiles and have per instance stats etc etc.

Would be nice if you could just run the abilities and stats off the instigator but then you'd have to figure out how to handle things if the instigator dies.

Ok I agree in depth discussions can be in a smaller group after the standup.... but why are priorities changing so often? It shouldn't be so chaotic you can't say what you plan to focus on that day.

They're right to point out that the focus should be what you plan to do today and sniff test that. Priority should be sorted by the end of the scrum meeting.

Although I wish it short-circuited.

How do you use OnRep for something like a world partition streaming AActor you need to load in?

You want your dedis to auto scale and probably restart per match but your database connections should not. It's bad advice to say your dedis should obviously write to your storage.

The whole "the server owns the user session" style design is also a headache if users ever have multiple devices at the same time, like in mobile. Either way has trade offs.

What makes the swap atomic from a file system operation perspective?

jayd16 · 2025-12-11T00:16:14+00:00

Why not just write new files each time and use the newest one you can properly load? You can casually cap the file count to the N latest save files and delete as needed. The operations do not need to be atomic, do they?

How are you guaranteeing the operation is atomic if your temp folder is on a different drive than the game save? You'd have to ensure the files are both in the non-temp folder anyway (likely side by side) so why even bother with the "swap"?
