The camera could go away instead of the whole system. I don't know how much a problem theft is on the other side of the pond, but we have self-checkout on a product weight basis in Austria and it works just fine.
Even if a Googler were here to answer this question, what are the odds that they are in a position in Google to make that statement? And even if, the answer would be outdated the moment it's posted because Google can change its position on this anytime. If your account is THAT important, just use a second one for YouTube. I have a Workspace account for critical stuff and a secondary one for everything else.
4) Get a good lawyer who is well versed in international jurisdiction issues to avoid getting dragged to an EU court anyway. Possibly operate from a non-extradition country.
This summer in Austria was very unusual. From May to October it was continuously hot. Everything dried out except for the things that were watered continuously. Last winter we had basically zero snow in a country that makes a substantial amount of its income from winter tourism. There will be hell to pay if this doesn't stop.
Reviewing code on GitHub is tough, especially with larger changes. However, Gerrit's user interface is so beginner/user hostile that I would still prefer it to Gerrit. It scares away new contributors. :(
That is the case in a lot of places for arrests, but wrong convictions are a thing too and those get reported. Plus, there are situations where someone posted a presumably funny picture of someone else, which you should absolutely have the right to not be found. It has an impact on your life for no good reason.
Why the right to be forgotten exists in general: Let's say there was a widely publicised murder in your neighborhood. You get picked up by the police, your mugshot and name get plastered all over the newspapers. It's a mistake. They catch the real perp a few days later and you go free. Now every time someone searches your name they are greeted with your mugshot. You don't get jobs, you don't get to rent an apartment and so on. It's not fair, it doesn't serve society in any way, shape, or form. You should be able to get that information removed.
The same goes, of course, for any drunken party pictures and the likes, which should have no bearing on your life decades later.
Well, true. However, assuming good intentions, there are laws against working two/three jobs in the world in a manner that would rob you of your time to rest, which was presumably put in place to prevent a lot of undesirable things from happening. So far, I had no problems with side jobs as long as I agreed with my employer and made sure that my work/rest times are not in danger (nobody ever said no).
Question: did Fairphone do something about the build quality since v1/2? I used to have one (can't remember which) but the back cover broke after taking the protector off <10 times. I'd really like to buy one, but I'm not keen on using it for less than a month just because I'd like to have my phone clean.
There's a lot more highway than airstrip length. According to Wikipedia[1], Finland has 78,141 kilometres (48,555 mi) of highways. That's a whole lot of runway to destroy.
A truck has a huge amount of kinetic energy and when accidents happen they are usuallly not pretty. Couple that with the fact that US trucks AFAIK are not required to have several safety features required elsewhere in the world, such as the underrun protection (metal bars) and that self-driving technology is far from proven at scale, maybe it's prudent to be a little bit careful.
Edit: after a quick Google, Embark Trucks[1] claims that they are the first to have driven 100k miles. That's a factor of 10 less than what Waymo claims to have driven. And there will be smaller outfits that will want to cut corners to get a piece of the pie.
I'm not sure I'm reading these numbers correctly, but is the project selling the units basically at material costs and taking a huge hit on everything else? What am I missing?
That example doesn't quite hold up. A helicopter is roughly the same size and weight as an ambulance and needs to transport a whole bunch of equipment. If we could get a Zipline drone to drive on the street, it would be vastly more efficient than its airborne brethren, but our infrastructure isn't set up for that.
Yes, it is doable, but if you're like me (similar background in software engineering) you will probably have to stop thinking about it as a software engineering problem and think about it as a 95% business problem. Who are your customers, why would they buy your stuff and not the competition, who even is the competition, how much money does acquiring and keeping a customer cost, etc etc. If you really need inspiration, watch a few episodes of Dragon's Den and pay attention to the questions they are asking.
Also not the parent, but: It's a very simple language. It looks like Python and behaves like TypeScript. It makes it easy for beginners to get into game development without having the visual overhead of a C++ or C#.
I concur. I believe GDScript should be split from Godot itself and support should be added for third party IDEs. It has a lot of hard-coded things specific to Godot in it and it suffers from it. The built-in code editor has a very confusing layout and its built-in code editing functions will never be as powerful as providing a language server to a dedicated IDE.
It's a lot clunkier than Unreal. You'll have to build a .so/.dll using scons or cmake (good luck finding a CMakeLists.txt that actually works) and you have to register all types manually. You will also not be able to work around the issues with the APIs mentioned in the article around dictionaries AFAIK. There is no header tool and no autogenerated code for your classes. Oh, and reloading the DLL on Windows requires an editor restart. Plus I haven't found a good way to debug load failures either apart from starting the editor from a console window.
I ended up sticking to GDScript in the end, but the typing system is very basic and the code can get very messy quickly. Plus, as far as I could tell, there is a race condition between signals and the process function, but I need to debug that more thoroughly to be sure.
Right. I was referring to the "family" aspect, trying to point out that having full transparency can be both good and bad, depending where you are coming from.
Maybe as added context, we have been working together in the same company and team remotely since 2020. We also spend 90+% of the time together, so a scenario you are describing wouldn't happen. We did make separate email aliases as to not confuse other people though :)
