Rebecca Heineman sadly passed away. Known her since the 80s when I'd drive her to work, one of the most brilliant programmers around. A real gut punch earlier today when she messaged me: "We have gone on so many adventures together! But, into the great unknown! I go first!!!" :(

Visual Studio is embarrassingly (impressively?) slow to find files to open in the solution. Tempted to apply to their team just to fix it.

Sending good thoughts to those affected by the bizarre Microsoft layoffs and hope you find new jobs soon. As for mouthpieces like @JezCorden and @Klobrille that thrive like remoras on the underbelly of Xbox "news," you two can fuck right off, you pathetic shills.

It’s possible to achieve results in ways engines don’t expect, and that result may be fine for 90% of cases, but unshippable for 10% of the time… Some problems are hard, poorly understood, or unanticipated. It’s a pre-production failure, rooted in inexperience. Many solutions are also brute force. Generic engines are usually tech stacked on tech, so it has a house of cards impact when you do something in a let’s say wrong way. It’s all duct tape and blu-tack, where the old tricks would be to control the scenario, tightly, it’s less and less possible… People sacrificed for the results in the past too - lots of crunch. It’s a sad reality but the best games have always cost the dev team. I can’t think of any highly rated game that has not required the dev’s to give it 110%. Tl;dr. Nobody knows what they’re doing and nobody wants to work hard.

Is something I noticed recently, of course not only me, but I hear often of games delayed, change in the creative team, projects that got scrapped and restarted from scratch. Is like they arrive at some point they can't go forward, or they realize that the games is gonna be bad and they say "no problem let's start again, we have the money", but they don't have money.

@Pirat_Nation Because at the time the budget and the resources were limited, they had to work with what they had and invent solutions. Now there's more money, more hardware resources, they don't care about overcoming problems till they can throw money and people at it.

Disappointed that Konstantin stopped pushing the Tate angle; they’re functionally comparative when you consider the masculine and feminine angle, such behaviours would have coarse manifest in different ways. It is the active exploitation of the opposite sex for financial gain - the irony that the paying consumers are the same crowd. And at the risk of being perceived as defending Tate - his messaging now is not quite the same as it was years ago, at least most of the content which floats around now… Such an evolution is perhaps beyond Lilly. Now you guys need to ask yourself - would you sit down with Andrew Tate? You’d get the same backlash - but would you be as willing? I’m not sure. I don’t think Lilly comes off very well either, if anything, she comes off as a bit dim, rather shallow, disconnected from the mainstream she wishes desperately to be accepted by, I’d even say conflicted - so much so that she appears to be trying to portray her behaviour as noble… Though compared to Bonnie, for lack of a better descriptive term - she is a lesser demon, opposed to a full blown succubus. She is certainly the product of an environment. Live whatever life you want to live but the annoyance for me really is that most folks don’t actually want to hear from her - because the reason she wants to be heard is to enable herself to continue that same exploitative behaviour - which is why you guys have been criticised by many for platforming her; I have no real judgement here. Though I’d rather not know of her existence but she has managed to make a large enough noise it’s almost impossible to be unaware. It’s the kind of noise that likely breaks most filters. She isn’t worth the airtime… And I don’t really think there was a conversation here, because despite her acts - she’s vapid. I think that’s kinda sad, and perhaps part of the entire underlaying issue she hasn’t figured out. Yet - this behaviour that she is displaying offers a validity which can be crammed into that narcissistic gaping maw. So all in all - poor show guys.

@SemiEssessi @elonmusk The EU bureaucrats say no for more reasons than that. The sharp edges are apparently a factor. Bubble wrap bureaucracy - is just bullshit mind. It’s a soft tyranny of middle management types - who seek blame in all things.

@ZoeJardiniere The thread is like watching some solve a Rubik's cube with a hammer. Economics: 3/10. Constructiveness: 2/10. Ideology: 9/10. Not only have you failed to make a point, you've galvanised opposing viewpoints. (You get what you give)

I’m determined to go further and faster to kickstart economic growth. That means generating investment, driving reform and boosting trade. I will fight every day to deliver that growth and put more money into working people’s pockets.

@fanaticlatic @robprogressive The state is excellent at being incompetent. My biggest concern with state and schools is indoctrination. Kids are at school to learn not to be brainwashed. There’s plenty more of natural monopolies where the state being in charge makes sense. Edu & Hth should be subscriptive.

@DevShape @robprogressive That is a risk for sure. For me Health and education are the two things I can accept being socialist driven. My hang up with it is that the gov of the day (which may be nefarious) would dictate the available health or learning so they need rigorous monitoring.

After my daughter’s school announced it is shutting down, I got a huge backlash Millions of views. Lots of hate. Many national media requests

And so much lack of understanding for what’s really going on Completely out of the blue. 100s of distraught kids.   Why? Labour’s tax hikes on school fees:  
-VAT added at 20% high-quality
-National insurance raised on staff 
-Business rates added to schools 

A nurturing school forced to close because of greedy, arrogant taxation & politics of envy Disgusting. And to everyone who had no sympathy, all this does is pile more pressure on overcrowded state schools, which hurts the people who hate the rich 

How can ANYONE justify taxing education. Labour are destroying the very foundations of our children’s future.  And I have it on good authority that Labour were warned many times that taxing schools would badly backfire & they arrogantly ignored it  What an absolute disgrace

@fanaticlatic @robprogressive The result sadly is just overcrowding, and worsening of outcomes at standards and poorer opportunities for all. Everyone suffers, whilst it may apply pressure to correct for change - those in the system will suffer negatively in the environment.

@robprogressive If you don’t believe the state school system is sufficient for your child why should it be sufficient for anyone else’s? If the well off have to use the facilities of the commoner then there’s a chance those facilities will be forced to improve.
