It's temporary, yes. If you show up for your court date it's returned to you - it's collateral.

"Advocating" isn't necessarily just praising their team. Managers end up in rooms that their reports don't, so the manager needs to effectively represent the team's interests in those forums.

For example, if a manager is in a project allocation meeting and sees a project that would help their reports reach their career goals, the manager should be "advocating" for the project to be assigned to their team.

I think that's the point. You don't have any agency. There's no way to win.

It didn’t say that it was the same price? Customers want them produced in the US, so will probs pay extra for it. Especially given that politically it’s a good look for them

Also, the US govt has put in a lot of subsidies

Just because you can buy the tools doesn't mean you know how to use them.

I think the concern is more the attitude that allowed this to happen, despite all the issues Boeing has had.

A lot of the resolution issues aren't the camera.

The providers (zoom, webex, MS) have lowered the resolution to lower their bandwidth costs.

As much as personality is fun, it's clear and simple - first and foremost it's a reference work?

This is a useful resource, but I'd encourage people to use OpenGL as their default - i.e. use it unless you shouldn't

Vulkan is extremely powerful and gives very fine-grained control over the hardware, but on the other hand requires large amounts of overhead code to make it work (as you can see in this repo!)

There's a difference between not being designed for something, and being designed to prevent something. HLS isn't designed to prevent saving, it's just optimised for streaming.

> Today, we extend support to Linux and Mac for developers who maintain full native builds of their games for these platforms.

That sounds like Proton is definitely not supported here. So if an EAC developer only supports Windows, Linux users are SoL.

Small hotspots appear where people leave companies, start their own and don't want to move.

Guildford is such a place for games in the UK. Yes, it's not too far from London but it's also fairly suburban. That sprung from Bullfrog/Lionhead, I guess. Hello Games, Criterion and Media Molecule are all based there.

The most famous example is the Seattle/Redmond area, where that hotspot sprung from Microsoft.

I would argue that the change that happened was the realistic rise in price based on:

1) In 2017, the iPhone 8 was the 'standard', and the iPhone X was the 'premium above', adding new features for those willing to pay the extra 2) In 2018, the iPhone XS is effectively the standard, because the XR has the impression of being a hobbled version of the XS

Since noone would rather buy the 'hobbled' one, the base price jumps to $1000

Whilst a free press is important, I would argue that 'a man and a woman have been held in connection with the Gatwick Airport drone incident' would suffice. Kudos to the BBC for recognising this.

It's not in the public interest for us to know exactly who they are unless they're actually found guilty of a crime. Publishing their names and pictures before _even being charged_ does nothing but open potentially innocent people up to danger.

Whoever caused the Gatwick chaos needs to be brought to justice, but this is beyond reckless

Given the latest update is "We are currently in the later stages of a restore operation, with the aim of serving fully consistent data within the next 2 hours", I can only assume someone at GH read your comment!

I feel I'm the only person in the universe that's never had an issue with the keyboard, and actively likes it (I don't like much key travel, but I do like clicky keyboards)

Much faster. A cricket bat is much heavier and less aerodynamic than a baseball bat, meaning they can't swing them as fast. Also the batsman in cricket has to try to do it wearing lots of pads!

Final rule: write a whole article bragging about it! :P

> Facebook is going to get done in by the fact that the younger generation doesn't like it

All the younger generation I know are big users of Instagram and WhatsApp - both FB properties.

It's not micromanagement. It's planning. There's nothing wrong with those tasks having no-user facing changes, or giving all the tasks to acheive a higher-level goal to one developer. However, going in and making those tasks forces you to think over the problem properly and come up with a game plan.

If you don't know a given approach will work, sometimes that's best to timebox some experimentation time (say an afternoon), but then you can also say to your PM/EM 'ok, we need a little time to work out how long it's going to take', and decisions can be made accordingly as to priorities.

Very little of being a software engineer is about writing code. That's just typing. The skill is being able to come up with a coherant plan to solve a problem. That's why architects don't tend to write a lot of code.

HTTPie is awesome, the only thing to watch out for is if you use it for large JSON responses, it can take a while to parse, process and display the response. In that case cURL is still handier, but HTTPie is the tool I generally reach for

This is fantastic. Especially the line-by-line explanations on separate pages. Thank you @jsandler18!

To an extent though, is that something that you're born with, or something you can be taught? I think a lot of people attribute something to 'genetics' just because their parents have a particular trait. Parents are also the people raising you, so they have the highest impact regardless of genetics
