For anyone interested in learning Godot or building an arcade beat'em up similar to Double Dragon or Streets of Rage, I put together a 10h course on Youtube. It's broken down in episodes of 30 mins and is quite accessible to beginner / intermediate developers with little experience in Godot.
After winning the lowrezjam last year for an open-source beat'em up game I created in a week, I received quite a few requests to create a tutorial to help others build similar games. What started off as a small tutorial in November became a two-months intensive labor to stitch together a full cohesive 10-hour course spread over 20 episodes of 30 mins each. I released the entire series on youtube this weekend, hoping it would be helpful to any beginner / intermediate wanting to learn Godot or better understand how these games were made in the past.
Just to clarify, they are only banning the usage of the free offerings of Office and Workspace which do not provide the data governance / compliance features. The higher tiers of Workspace/Office provide this functionality.
I find it really fascinating to see the amount of similar posts theses past few months. Professional artists, fearing for their jobs due to AI-generated art, who find solace in the fact that the resulting artifacts are still missing on production quality by a tiny margin. This is somewhat similar to the fear that self-driving cars will one day replace the most common job in America.
In the short term, I think there's a real opportunity for artists to leverage those tools to create things they didn't think were possible before. In the long term, it seems inevitable to me that all jobs today will one day be performed better by computers. I do like to think that we will adapt to those changes over time, like we have in the past technology breakthroughs. While the nature of our jobs will most likely change, ideally we all end up having more time to spend with the ones we love.
perhaps read the article before commenting, especially if you aim at criticizing what is written? the word "laptop" isn't even mentioned in the article, this talks about desktops only and how Google runs its own linux distri on those...
this is only for those who have opted to not be fully remote.
those folks have a reserved physical desk / office space at which they will be required to go 3 days per week starting apr 4th. They may switch to fully remote but cannot keep a dedicated physical spot if they do so.
While I agree with the overall feeling of the article, I couldn't help but smile at the irony of its clickbait title (which seemed unintended). Sensationalism definitely attracts the eye.
> Surely other companies can be more efficient with the 30% cut or less that Google takes, without forcing users to put up with the poor service that's exemplified by the article in the OP.
The fact that no other actor has done that speaks to the fact that it's probably not as straightforward as you might think. Go one step further and take any product in killedbygoogle.com and see how many other actors have benefited from recreating and living off a better version of any of those services... I'm curious how you think that breaking down Google or Apple would help us the end users in this case? Surely a smaller company with less assets/employees will spend even less time doing manual reviews for the same amount of apps.
Meanwhile while HN seems focused on gov to put pressure on big tech to break, I keep getting reminders that my family of 5 using video conferencing for school/work is about to hit its monthly data cap of 1.2TB imposed by Comcast in the middle of the pandemic...
remote work in the current COVID conditions with outside restrictions, home school, 24/7 juggling between work and babysitting for parents is not the same as your usual remote work conditions. I think the numbers drawn from this COVID WFH are far from the reality.
It would be counter-productive to draw any conclusions from the current situation without taking in account family situations. I keep seeing studies that highlight "X% would like to go back to the office because they are not as productive WFH" -- followed by comments indicating that those folks should change and adapt.
I have 3 kids at home 24/7 that need regular attention, feeding, homework, etc. My productivity is down -- not because I am WFH, but because my entire family is as well. This is not a regular WFH situation and should not be analyzed as such.
Fun fact: the delete character was designed to be all 1s in order to allow for human errors: "If a character was punched erroneously, punching out all seven bits caused this position to be ignored or deleted" [1]
One engineer shared the idea yesterday [1] of introducing a new element in Chrome behind an experiment flag to play with and you are mortified that Mozilla, Microsoft and Apple haven't responded with an official position within 24h?
