I haven't found anything close to scratching that Chants of Sennaar itch so far but I will check out the other games you mentioned as I haven't played any of them.
I also loved the conceit of the Obra Dinn but the visual style made me feel physically ill to the point I couldn't continue with the game. I'm useless with any first person POV stuff in general though.
We would like to set up some displays in our office to constantly display some performance dashboards. The dashboards are custom built but accessible via the web.We'd like to set up about 6 of these devices and want to keep them as low maintenance as possible.It feels like overkill to setup a laptop for each screen just for this purpose but we weren't sure in 2022 what the best approach from a...
We are Resi, a London based team that is changing how residential architecture works in the UK. We're a well-funded company of close to 100 people. Usually based in Brixton when not in lockdown.
We are looking to add a back-end engineer to work on our Ruby on Rails tech stack. You would be joining a small team of other engineers and designers working across the consumer and business products.

I'm suddenly getting SSL errors from unrelated services we use. For example status.algolia.com, Pingdom and others.
What is the current go to data strategy if you are too big for Dropbox but not yet enterprise level?We are a fast growing architectural design studio. We’re currently about 60 designers mainly co-located but with some remote workers and people often work from home.The designers are mainly working with CAD and increasingly Point Cloud files. Often with multiple people accessing the same files in...
I've mentioned the 'motion' sickness issue to my GP in the past but it was dismissed as nothing very serious. On the one hand I understand as I can avoid the triggers relatively easy but equally its troubling to know something so innocuous can make me feel so sick.
The effect takes hold quicker if I'm looking at someone else playing but even when it is me controlling the action I will be ill within minutes. If I let it get to that point the only solution is to go to a dark room and lie down for an hour or more.
I sometimes joke about it, but in reality I do worry about a future of HUDs and VR environments.
From the two available theories I find the Sensory Conflict Theory the more compelling although I'm still not convinced they have entirely cracked it.
Along with gaming I get similar effects from 3D movies. I struggle to understand the postural challenge that comes from watching a 3D movie vs a 2D movie in the same cinema seat. From my lay persons perspective it would seem to have more to do with the ability of my eyes/brain/inner ear processing more information simultaneously and making contextual sense of it.
Is the EU suggesting that Malta's population should only be able to stream content 2x the volume of its domestic content output? And that's assuming the likes of Netflix was able to hoover up all of that domestic output which seems untenable.
I'm Irish, we don't produce that much stuff. If it has to represent 30% of the catalogue, that catalogue is going to have to shrink massively.
We are Resi, a London based team that is changing how residential architecture works in the UK. We bring technology to an industry dominated by email, phone calls and spreadsheets. Focusing on the customer experience but building the processes and technology to allow us to compete at scale.
In short we are looking to add someone to the team who can work with both our designers and back-end engineers to make our product ideas a reality.
We are a Ruby on Rails app, with pretty vanilla HTML/CSS/JS/AJAX front end. Experience of working in a Rails environment would be useful but definitely not a pre-requisite.
We haven't yet added any React components but it is on our roadmap.
The ideal candidate would be opinionated about how to organise and build front-end code as a codebase matures and scales.

We are BuildPath, a London based team that is changing how residential architecture works in the UK. We bring tech and product thinking to an industry dominated by email, phone calls and spreadsheets. That means we can offer professional grade architecture packages to our customers 10x faster and 10x cheaper than a traditional architect.
In terms of tech, we are a very typical Ruby on Rails stack (Postgres, Heroku, Redis, etc.) It is a relatively young codebase, so no legacy technical debt to avoid. You would be joining as the first backend engineer, working alongside me the CTO. The wider team is currently 12 people (mix of Sales, Design and Architects), we are funded and are growing very quickly.

The sad fact is that there are unscrupulous VC firms out there that are just looking to mine you for data. Either for the benefit of a company already in their portfolio or as a comparison point for another deal they are considering.
Trust your gut.
It follows the War on Drugs in the USA. As an outsider (Irish living in London) I found it genuinely eyeopening on a topic I knew next to nothing about. For example did you know that the only difference between cocaine and crack cocaine is the addition of baking powder and heat. Although the later will get you 100 times the sentence of the former. There are 19 year olds being put away for the rest of their lives for the possession of a few grams of this stuff.
I don't care what stand you take on the legalisation/criminalisation of drugs, that is insane!
Instead of trying to reduce the rate of reoffending once released, it seems many states go out of their way to marginalise convicts so that virtually no law abiding avenues of employment remain for them. Talk about a vicious circle. That's not evening taking into account the effect of incarcerated parents has on the generation that follows.
I didn't know any details of the case at the time but it just struck me as odd.
When we started Teddle the landscape for payments in the UK looked very very different. At one point PayPal looked like our best option. In reality their product would have killed our business (matching customers with independent house cleaners), with their punitive withholding of funds and lengthy clearing times.
Then Andy and the guys at Stripe UK came along and blew the competition out of the water. They have been doing an outstanding job. The product is ridiculously good, the documentation is awesome and the customer service is human, friendly and reliable. Honestly I can't praise the product enough.
Well done guys!
It is a sad outcome but Adria's position had simply become untenable.
Personally I know who seems the more employable of the two. I do hope Adria gets the time to step back and learn something from this sorry incident.
There are no winners here.
As a female tech co-founder I am disgusted by the actions of Adria at PyCon.
First and foremost, other than the irritation of chatting during a presentation I see nothing sexist about the comments made by the guys. Sexual innuendo != sexism
Secondly, if she had an issue she should have let them know. Posting their pictures to Twitter along side allegations of 'harassment' is orders of magnitude worse than anything they may or may not have done.
Adria, your actions were not in the interest of furthering women in tech. If anything these ostracise women further by making men feel uncomfortable about what is and isn't permissible to say.
Not in my name!

What environment would you give a front end designer/developer with no knowledge of Ruby on Rails?This is assuming that their work will need to be integrated into an existing RoR app.Would you?a) set them up with a rails environment and let them write static html in the view filesb) no rails environment but access to git repo, let them right static pages in public folder calling relevant...
