Define ethically sourced.

I guess it boils down to what you consider worst. Gangs, or a tyrannical government who disappear people without due process. It is like releasing killer monkeys to take care of your radioactive crocodile problem.

Lack of important features, no asset store, not as mature (more bugs), no native console support, no low-level rendering access, no texture streaming, and on and on.

Spot-on, this would be my bet too.

It is classic internet outrage complely disconnected from what smaller game devs have to go through. Don’t get in the way of a good internet outrage as a legit, actual gamedev who knows why this is damn near impossible, or you’ll get downvoted.

The whole argument of leaving Unity hinge on the fact that Godot is a close replacement, it is not.

Godot is fine for solo/very small indies and people trying to learn gamedev, but it is not ready quite yet. Most devs still are stuck using proprietary engines.

Les américains sont particulièrement souriant et courtois je dirais. Les gens n’aiment surtout pas leurs politiques, mais ils sont de bon touristes. Il y a quelques nationalités qui me viennent en tête qui sont carément détestés partout ou ils vont. Je ne pense pas qu’on est à ce point la pour les francais et les américains.

Je dirais que ce sont les parisiens qui ont mauvaise réputation, du moins par ici ils sont un peu mal vus. Je sais pas à quel point la distinction est universelle.

Selon les anglais:

• Protéger le français c’est de la xénophobie.

• Si la culture francophone ne survie pas de ses propres mérites (e.g: sans loi), elle ne mérite pas d’être préservée.

• Parler en anglais partout, au travaille, en publique, dès qu’il y a un anglo à porté ce n’est pas suffisant. Faudrait qu’absolument tous les services soient disponibles en anglais. Parce ce que…

• C’est innaceptable pour un anglophone qu’un petit bout de terre sur le continent ne respecte pas leur privilège. Les francophones qu’ils n’ont nul part d’autre à aller qu’ils aillent chier, on va quand même pas apprendre à parler deux langues.

Si le Québec se fait assimiler, c’est finis pour toujours le Français en Amérique. Mais c’est étrangement compliqué pour les anglais de comprendre la situation un peu unique du Québec, étant encerclé par littéralement une seule langue. Mais après, quand je vois comment ils traitent n’importe qui d’autre ne parlant pas anglais, je comprend que ce n’est pas unique à comment ils traitent le Québec.

Désolé pour les fautes, ça fait des années que ma vie est an anglais ici. La dernière fois ou j’ai pu parler et écrire en français au travaille c’était en 2020 avant qu’un employé anglophone rejoigne mon équipe. Speak white!

Context menu key is kinda essential for navigating without a mouse. I don’t use it all that often but I am very glad it is there.

First content I watched of him was a special on Netflix years ago, and I just couldn’t finish it. Nothing he said punched or was structured as a joke. It really felt he was just having boring discussions with himself.

Louis CK can jokes about pedos and yet it is hilarious and generally well-received. This joke gives strong “I identify as an attack helicopter” energy. It is not funny, and he’s basically just repeating the shitty talking points of right-wing pundits, and without sarcasm. It is humour-by-applause, it is not meant to be a satirical joke, but to have people who agree applause and cheers.

Style over substance, and a ugly style at that. Of course lots of people are gonna love it and say it is the best thing ever.

I don’t think he’s a lawyer.

Yep, it is mostly apparent in big companies I would say. I could go on and on, but basically your work is so disconnected from the final output that what end up actually “mattering” is a bunch of made-up bullshit. Putting in quality work and improving your product/service does not benefit most of the people you interact with directly, unless of course you’re working on the popular thing that will get people promoted.

Anyways, I also left the corporate world to start my own business. Life is so much easier when all you need to care about is the quality of your work and not political points. I like my hard work to rewards me, and not just some guy spending his days in meetings claiming credit for “his” “initiatives”. Some of those folks would never survive a job that isn’t a mega corp paying them to improv all day in meetings.

I also think so. You can usually tell who is close to your own level, but anything too far off andthe signals for what is considered smart or dumb tend to blend together.

The one trait which usually don’t lie is the person ability to learn. Fast learners and autodidacts are almost always smart, and people who are slow to learn are almost always left of the curve. Other signals you mentioned are deeply rooted in culture and can reqlly give the wrong impression.

Removing bias from IQ tests is one hell of a challenge, but if we put that aside and only analyse IQ results from people from similar backgrounds, it definitely measure something, and it usually gives accurate results. Meaning your score would not change much by taking the test again.

IQ score correlate with someone general ability in pattern recognition, languages, logic, bias check and etc. It also correlate with grades, salary, lifespan. So, is that intelligence? I don’t know, but it is something.

I’d argue given enough time and effort almost anyone can become a domain expert in specific things and do incredible stuff. What distinguishes smart people from simpler folks usually boils down to them having a very easy time processing new stuff, which includes the ability to filter noise and fact check.

I don’t like the term “stupid”, but there hasn’t been a whole lot of evidence supporting the idea that human intelligence is compartimented. Humans with high IQs tend to outperform in average at most of what they try. Low IQ probably means you will work harder and have to specialize to achieve the same degree of competency. This just my hot take, I’ve fallen into this rabbit hole before and read a lot on the origin of IQs tests. In the end, intelligence alone does not determine a person’s worth anyway.

IQ tests were first developped because it seemed obvious not all students performed equally. On average a student that is good in a given discipline will also tend to do well in other unrelated disciplines. On average is the keyword here, outliers exist.

I think gifted students can easily tell what side of the curve they’re on, even though they might not want to acknowledge it. It is not even avout the grades, because gifted students also often learn early on that they can get away by doing the minimum amount of work and still get passing grades. So they’re not necessarily top of classes.

Gifted students get told they’re fast learner all the time, and they notice how everyone else seem to be progressing in slow motion. They know.

I think it gets harder to self-evaluate the closer you are to the average, since most of your peers will be more or less just as intelligent as you. Then, the dullest you are, and the less you can identify competense and the more likely you are to be over-confident.

I think in the end, most people will end up believing they’re above average because we tend to notice dumb people a lot. Ironically it is probably students who are just slightly above average who will have the most self-doubts, because they feel different from their peers, yet they can probably tell more gifted students are around.

I get that a lot when I put butter on my pizza crust, I mean it is bread?
