You can do it!

I mean the difference is that a nazi isn’t a racial group or people.
- Comment on Anon describes apple's practices 1 month ago:
It becomes a paperweight once you install the software updates.
- Comment on Does people doing things that upset others also upset you? 1 month ago:
Fair enough, as long as there’s respect to other dogs and dog owners. Many dog owners near where I live who selfilishly let their dogs off lead in busy on lead areas and obviously causes problems.
- Comment on Does people doing things that upset others also upset you? 1 month ago:
If it’s an off leash park it’s fine. If it’s on lead have them on lead. It isn’t about your dog it’s about everyone else’s dogs. Dogs on leash are significantly more reactive when another dog runs up to them, so it’s important to have control of the dog, lest one of the dogs gets badly hurt.
- Comment on Anon studies human behavior 2 months ago:
The context is a 4chan post about not understanding the behaviour of women. I’m not a woman, I don’t find it offensive, but you can definitely make some educated guesses or conclusions about why it would give some women the ick.
Ps. Don’t take it too seriously most people are taking the piss
- Comment on Anon studies human behavior 2 months ago:
None at all, and the real argument wasn’t that females is a dirty toxic word. It’s the context in which it is used.
- Comment on Anon studies human behavior 2 months ago:
Well if you want an answer to the question it’s purely the way it comes off. A lot of women I know get the ick when people use the word female in that context.
- Comment on Anon studies human behavior 2 months ago:
He’s looking for young girls then. I’m not sure that’s such a good thing, nor does it make his use of females any better.
- Comment on Anon studies human behavior 2 months ago:
Wouldn’t that imply then that he’s referring to women AND girls? Because he does explicitly say men in the post.

Modern autos with cvts are kinda at the point where it is basically magic. They feel like driving a golf kart that can reach 200km/h.

But which America is it? North or south?
- Comment on Anon blames millennials 3 months ago:
Yee game development is very accessible nowadays. Fortunately it still requires great effort to make a good game.
- Comment on Anon blames millennials 3 months ago:
A huge amount of games in the indie scene are made by zoomers. Lethal company was made by a 21 year old. The current game industry is composed of mostly millennials, but still a lot of zoomers.

Bad feng shui
- Comment on Anon fixes their games 5 months ago:
Nanite doesn’t affect any of the post processing stuff nor the smeary look. I don’t like that games rely on it but modern ue5 games author their assets for nanite. All it affects is model quality and lods.
Lumen and other real time GI stuff is what forces them to use temporal anti aliasing and other blurring effects, that’s where the slop is.
- Comment on Anon cheats through college 6 months ago:
Its hard to make wise decisions when you’re basically a kid at that age.
- Comment on Anon cheats through college 6 months ago:
Yeah I remember in high school they were pressuring every body to go straight to uni and I personally thought it was kinda predatory.
- Comment on Anon cheats through college 6 months ago:
Its probably a regional difference. Here in AU, you can be lucky and land a few post grad jobs if you really stood out. Otherwise you’re entirely reliant on having a good folio and most importantly connections.
- Comment on Anon cheats through college 6 months ago:
Yeah fair point, but then how are you going to get the job if you’re completely incompetent at programming 🤔
- Comment on Anon cheats through college 6 months ago:
I meant any form of qualification. Sure it helps, but the way you get the job is by showing you can actually do the work. Like a folio and personal projects or past history.
- Comment on Anon cheats through college 6 months ago:
Hey that sounds exactly like what the last company I worked at did for every single project 🙃
- Comment on Anon cheats through college 6 months ago:
Not a single person I’ve worked with in software has gotten a job with just a diploma since like the early 2000s
Maybe it’s different in some places.
- Comment on Anon cheats through college 6 months ago:
Yeah that’s object oriented programming and interfaces. It’s a shit to teach people without a practical example but it’s a completely passable way to do OOP in industry, you start by writing interfaces to structure your program and fill in the implementation later.
Now, is it a good practice? Probably not, imo software design is impossible to get right without iteration, but people still use this method… good to understand why it sucks
- Comment on Anon cheats through college 6 months ago:
A diploma ain’t gonna give you shit on its own
- Comment on Anon cheats through college 6 months ago:
Why would you sign up to college to willfully learn nothing

- Comment on What was going on in England in the 1970s to give Monty Python so much comedy fodder that is still relevant today? 8 months ago:
The queer community has been known and active for a very long time. The stonewall riots occured in 1969, making it prime time to make media about the LGBTQ community.
- Comment on How am I supposed to obtain income? 9 months ago:
There are usually many layers before your application actually gets to someone who understands the job and can actually evaluate how valuable you are to the role. There are an insane number of applications that are just gone before someone useful can actually read it.
I know personally I would never have gotten my last 3 jobs were it not for networking and knowing people.
Networking really is the way forward. I understand for some people that socialising is insanely difficult, but knowing the right people can get you jobs that you aren’t even qualified for.
