> It's a totally unavoidable problem with our industry.

It's the pay.

> People get bored working on one domain, one product and one codebase.

Yeah bullshit. It's the pay.

Send me a single job employment posting that is fair

You don't solve the problem by "humbling the workers".

The solution is rewarding people when a company is successful and more importantly not punishing hard workers. Right now people are under the impression that slacking and working hard will be equally rewarded, because that is the truth. Hard workers also get laid off so that CEOs can make a few extra bucks.

Not in comparison to the value they provide.

A grocery store I worked at tracked finances and they were available to all employees. The grocery store made $270 per worker per hour. New hires were paid less than 1/10 of the value they provided.

I can only imagine how much more exploitative tech is

Thats not reality though.

I didn't get laid off 3 times because I have a bad attitude. I got laid off because:

1) it was cheaper for the company to move the software department over seas

2) The business got sold to Amazon and as part of that process they had to downsize

3) Company collapsed due to leadership failure

I had a good attitude until I saw how disposable I was to these companies. You're an asset until you aren't.

Product finished? downsizing. Financial crisis that doesn't effect our industry? downsizing. Company about to IPO? downsizing.

Companies have no loyalty, you shouldn't either.

I misunderstood and thought this was a google sponsored project and not an open bug bounty.

Even still, you're responding in a thread about someone who is trying to do legitimate work on this project and google is not honoring the bug bounty system.

A problem google could fix if they just assigned someone to manually review the case, it would take like 15 minutes.

I don't think this correlation implies a causation, same with alzheimer's.

I think you're incorrectly attributing to viral/bacterial infection what can more likely be explained by a difference in lifestyles. Nearly 80% of people who die from Leukemia are over the age of 65. People who die in airplane accidents are usually flying private and that is not a lifestyle all of us can afford.

I think it's more likely that doctors die of specific causes because they have more money than the average person, the knowledge to do their best to avoid heart disease and smoking (and other hazardous activities except apparently for flying private), or perhaps because they're exposed to chemicals through their work environment

I remember the last time Kristi Noem "fired" something

I disagree with v_____.

"He didn't send the letter. The lawsuit was dropped."

"He didn't send the letter therefore the lawsuit was dropped."

Two very different examples. "therefore" in the second example communicates a causal effect from the independent clause that isn't present in the first example.

I'm sure one could argue that context clues could imply that same connection and therefore "therefore" is redundant but I just don't agree with the premise.

Therefore isn't empty verbiage. It's just communication, it's a conjunctive adverb. Therefore implies causation or at least some connection between clauses.

I could see arguing that starting a sentence or paragraph with "Therefore, " repeatedly in one essay is empty but tbh your teacher just sounds jaded.

Ok, so are airplane accidents transmissible as well?

> Increased mortality risk for male neurosurgeons was seen from leukemia, nervous system disease (particularly Alzheimer disease), and aircraft accidents

Feels like cherry-picking

> Also, apparently some of these issues exist for over a decade. That alone tells you how serious the problem is

The "serious problem" is that they've known about bugs for 20 years and not committed resources to fix it. The problem is the money.

From their updates it looks like scope creep starting in 2021 and a lack of leadership.

In 2021

> Even so, we know that half a year is a long time to wait for an update. The reason that answers have not been more forthcoming this year is because, until recently, we did not have them.

2022

> we’ve made the decision to redevelop Hytale’s engine—both the client and the server—in C++

Winter 2023

> This year, we've brought engine development fully in-house and steadily expanded our team

2024

> As we mentioned in our Winter Update, the first half of 2024 has been focused on finishing that process and transitioning our creative teams into the new engine.

They're still transitioning to the new engine.

Summer 2024 future plans

> The rest of the year [...] the goal [...] is to verify that our engine, tools and processes are capable of supporting our gameplay and creative goals.

They do not, not even in the top 3. Nurses face underemployment at almost half the rate of CS grads.

They're pretty close to the top but not actually the top.

From my perspective I just want better DevEx.

C++ DevEx is significantly better than ISF despite them looking very similar and it seems like less of a hurdle to get C++ to spit out an ISF compatible file than it is to build all the tools for ISF (and GLSL, HLSL, WGSL)
