It's been smooth sailing upgrading for me. I think .17 was the one with the most pain for me? It's been a while but things have been relatively stable.

Bevy is definitely an engine. An extremely modular one. I'm currently building a game with it right now and having a blast.

Really enjoyed your post. I have implemented something similar as well for my 3D game for grass.

So is ISO20022 the future then? There should* be a standard system that all the networks stick to... instead of the hodgepodge of bullshit there is now.

I really wonder what a future would look like without companies like Visa/Mastercard/Discover/AMEX.

Painful memories of when you tell brands your data is coming in as ASCII and they have it as EBCDIC.

I got my last company certified with Visa and Mastercard for authorization and clearing. It's funny how they call it a standard but it's anything but that. There were some similarities but a lot of subtle differences which made the process 10X harder. Mastercard was the worst to deal with.

I completely agree.

Same here. Really liking it asking it Unreal C++ trivia.

I'm not disagreeing with you. I don't trust Amazon. I think the questions you mentioned above are what people should be asking.

I just interpreted what I read on the site.

"Privacy is foundational to Amazon Halo, and multiple layers of privacy and security are built into the service to keep data safe and in customers’ control. Health data is encrypted in transit and in the cloud, and customers can download or delete their data at any time directly from the app. Body scan images are automatically deleted from the cloud after processing, so only the customer sees them. Tone is enabled by creating a personal voice profile, after which it begins capturing short samples of speech and providing insights and daily recaps. Speech samples are always analyzed locally on the customer’s phone and automatically deleted after processing—nobody, not even the customer, ever hears them. Learn more about Amazon Halo privacy features."

Playing devils advocate, but it doesn't sound like they retain any data unless you opt into a third party program. Also the emotional part sounds really creepy.

"For example, Tone results may reveal that a difficult work call leads to less positivity in communication with a customer’s family, an indication of the impact of stress on emotional well-being."

Yeah, no thanks. I don't need a machine to help me regulate my emotions. Coming to a dystopian future near you, a call center using Tone. "It appears you didn't sound positive enough in your last call! Please try harder or you will get written up."

I'm surprised they called it Halo. First thing I thought of was the video game from Bungie.

I never used the Apache big data suite daily.

I had a project in college where we tried to add a feature to Hadoop. Half the battle was spent trying to pass their test cases and figuring out why we couldn't build the program due to dependency issues.

Even though we were trying to build w/Hadoop's docker image, each team member had issues unique to them. The documentation definitely didn't help.

I've had some decent experiences at university. I enjoyed talking with professors in my field, meeting some incredibly talented people, and learning things I probably wouldn't have learned outside of uni.

High school was useless and terrible though.

They'll either avoid talking about China or attempt to "address" attendees concerns. If they do "address" attendees concerns it'll be something superficial to try and tide people over while they ride out their spate of bad PR. Like they're doing right now with Blitzchung and reducing his ban to six months which is still outrageous.

Mark Kern (ex-lead WoW dev, and dev for Starcraft/Warcraft/Diablo 2) posted a good analysis of Blizzard's statement on Blitzchung.
