Work applications have been super bad when it comes to" people" sending me messages about my resume. Almost no real person has spoken to me.
What do you mean by this? Are applications getting rejected more than otherwise? Less than otherwise?
Might it not also depend just on how you define “the production team”? Since editing is often termed “post-production”, it would be reasonable to exclude the editors from the “production team”. To me that term seems more to imply the lighting, cameras, audio, PAs, and other people actually on set, rather than the task writers or editors.
The first three all related to a recent conversation in !vampires@lemmy.zip.
In much simpler terms:
Think of an IP address like a street address. 192 My Street.
There might be multiple businesses at one street address. In real life we address them with things like 1/192 My Street and 2/192 My Street, but there’s no direct parallel to that in computer networks. Instead, what we do is more like directing your letter to say “Business A c/o 192 My Street”. That’s what SNI does.
Because we have to write all of that on the outside of the envelope, everyone gets to see that we’re communicating with Business A. But what if one of the businesses at 192 My Street is highly sensitive and we’d rather people didn’t know we were communicating with them? @bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de’s proposal is basically like if you put the “Business A” part inside the envelope, so the mailman (and anyone who sees the letter on the way) only see that it’s going to 192 My Street. Then the front room at that address could open the envelope and see that the ultimate destination is Business A, and pass it along to them.
Yeah every 10 years would be good even if you assume they did learn everything correctly the first time and don’t forget anything, just to make sure people are keeping up with changes in the law. I regularly still see people loudly sharing interpretations of the law on social media that haven’t been true for a decade. And then speed it up to every 5 years after 65 to additionally account for senescence.
Life expectancy is a useless metric for this purpose. Maybe it would be more useful if you used “life expectancy at age 10” (so after any childhood illnesses), but even then it doesn’t really say anything about what the process senescence looks like.
I 100% tell people “I play D&D” or answer “are you busy this weekend” with “I’ve got D&D” even though I haven’t played D&D since COVID and even before then I had done multiple campaigns and one-shots in other systems.
Supposedly Mage M5 is in progress!
But that’s not changing the design, really
Depends on what one means by “change the design”. It doesn’t make a fundamental change to the deeper architecture of the game, no. But it does require some relatively superficial changes, which are themselves a design problem of sorts.
There are, it may surprise you to learn, different types of game that have online connectivity for different reasons. And the appropriate EOL response may differ across those games.
“Live-service” games where the main gameplay is singleplayer but an online connection is required so they can enforce achievements and upgrades (…and “anti-piracy” bs) may be best served by simply removing the online component so it can all be done locally.
Online competitive games can be switched to a direct connection mode.
MMOs and other games with large numbers of users and a persistent online server can be run on fan-operated servers, so long as (a) the server binary is made available, and (b) the client is modified to allow changing settings to choose a server to connect to (it could be something as simple as a command-line flag with no UI if the devs are being really cheap).
Devs have numerous options for how to address the SKG initiative. The top three that come to my mind are:
In the case of live service games, I would suggest option 3 is the most appropriate. If the main gameplay is singleplayer, but it’s online so you can dole out achievements and gatekeep content, the answer is simple: stop doing that. Patch it to all work in-client. And keep in mind that this will be a requirement at end-of-life from the beginning. If it’s an unexpected requirement, that’s going to be a huge development cost. If it’s expected, making that EOL change easy to implement will be part of the code architecture from the start.
In Westminster systems, the Government does not refer to the entire legislature, it refers to the executive branch, which is made up of people who happen to also be members of the legislature. This is a pretty basic and very well-established convention, and the fact that you’re steadfastly refusing to admit your clear, objective mistake in this case says a hell of a lot more about you than your arrogance in the matter that this thread was initially created to discuss ever could.
Wowza, that’s some spectacular stupidity. Where does this guy get off?
We remove any comment attacking other users and DOUBLY so when it’s attacking moderation.
That seems completely arse-backward. Which I guess makes sense given who we’re talking about, but it’s still disappointing. Mods would be held to a higher standard. Making the punishment for being mean to a mod harsher than any other user is like when bootlickers believe police should be entitled to abuse the public but the punishment for defending yourself is more extreme than for actual violence against random people.
Forget any specific case. I’m not arguing for you to reverse my ban. This is just bad on principle.
I resolved to do better, and the way I go about it is with transparency.
A laudable goal. But one you are so clearly not actually attempting to live up to. If you were, you might have realised all the people telling you that you’re being a lower tripping hastard have a point.
You can’t ban a person for saying “get rid of genocidal institutions” and then claim it was a Just act on the basis of a no violence policy.
If you were a good mod, you’d say “mea culpa. I made a mistake. Let me reverse it and unban the user.” But you’re not a good mod, you’re a power tripping bastard who has doubled down every single time you get called out—except for all the times you’ve chosen to try to deflect the conversation into irrelevancy.
They don’t hate me personally, they hate being moderated.
Nope. We hate moderators making up bullshit to silence people they want silenced. We hate capricious moderators who can’t follow their own rules.
I like how you quote the thing that proves you wrong and say “hey, this proves me right.”
I think google still listens to the quote operator first, but if that would return no results, it then returns the results without the quotes.
That seems to be what I’ve seen from my experience, anyway.
