  • Some tradies working on a site near me do it to give a bit of warning around a corner.

    They don’t actually put the cone around the corner and it’s a bit pointless, but the sign they hang off it shows the intent.

  • I used to have Gentoo running a Libvirt hypervisor, which would then run multiple short lived isolated windows and Linux machines with GPU passthrough for all the different companies and projects I was working on.

    Spent far too much time keeping the guest machine images up to date, and all the configs and stuff managed and synchronised.

    Then my laptop died that I was using to manage everything so I gave up.

  • Meanwhile google:

    we have hand picked a selection of 6 establishments in your area. They are:

    • one high end establishment that costs $80 for a main
    • a Chinese takeaway that is closed
    • a bhan mi place that doesn’t actually exist any more
    • a pizza chain
    • somewhere affordable, within walking distance, but not what you feel like.
    • an automotive bodywork shop
  • Yeah. I’ve had employees go through mental health episodes, families with cancer, flus, sick kids, multi-week migraines, list goes on.

    Not once has the business gone “why have you approved all that sick leave?” In fact it’s been the opposite in some cases “why are you asking me this? We have unlimited sick leave”.

  • What even is a hot cross bun? The lines blur every year.

    At what point does “brioche with chocolate chips” become a hot crossy?

    I’d argue never. It’s not a spiced and fruited bun with a cross. The supermarkets on the other hand will want you to believe it’s a bun with a cross on it sold between December and May.

  • Orrrrr. Just allow unlimited sick leave (within reason)? Works in other countries, and some NZ companies provide it, why can’t it be universal?

    It’s bizarre that we went through (and still are going through sorta) a global pandemic that can knock you out for weeks, is highly contagious and you can get multiple times a year. Yet we’re cracking down on WFH and still only have a legal minimum of 10 days sick leave.

  • If I were building it, I’d do the watermarking on the individual assets & textures.

    Your asset pipeline would publish these to the solution, which would pack it up ready for distribution.

    Except, each beta tester logs into the game and the publishing system gives them a personalised set of assets with a unique noise filter thrown over the top.

    Mr leaky beta player publishes a video or screenshot of the gameplay, and then the studio can just reverse the noise algorithm to get their unique ID.

    Absolutely terrible for large scale content delivery. But for a small closed beta, probably not an issue.

  • It’s just more shifting the goalposts.

    By lowering the bar on what “wealthy” is, it starts targeting those chanting “eat the rich” at each other.

    Timmy the Zer sees Dave the Xer with a house and car and equates that with wealth and starts blasting. While the actual wealthy hide away in their riches and are left alone.

  • No, running software on GPL licensed systems does not make the guest software GPL.

    But, The AGPL is “infectious”, and one bit of AGPL can make your entire project subject to the AGPL. It’s a legal nightmare and many businesses outright ban the use of AGPL software.

    Presumably, they’ve just blanket banned GPL to avoid any ambiguity.
