PlayCanvas is a game engine that runs on browsers, but I’m not certain what it’s future will be, it was bought by SnapChat, but SnapChat has shut down running games in app.
MichaelEstes commented on Do you conduct backchannels on candidates you're moving to offer? · Posted by u/sperlman915
A long time ago I had a company backchannel someone I actually would have listed as a reference except I knew he was out of country and on vacation. That left a sour taste in mouth and I ended up not going with their offer. So if you’re going to backchannel I’d suggest at least not cold calling.

Red Flags: I spend too much time picking fonts, I have trust issues with black box code, I spend more time on making things easier to make than just making the things, I pace when I’m thinking and I can’t solve most problems without drawing it out.

Is it possible to export unity store assets into other engines?
Depends on the asset, most code or UI tools would probably be a no without a good amount of effort to port, 2D and particle assets you can most likely rip the image files and recreate in another engine with some work. 3D assets usually come with an FBX file (If they were made using Probuilder or something inside Unity you can use Unity's FBX exporter to get an FBX file) that you can easily transfer to another engine, there may be some edge cases where you'd have to re-rig the assets depending on the engine you're moving to. For animation assets they'll either be an FBX file that you can transfer over or an Unity Animation Clip that you can also convert to an FBX using the FBX exporter. Shaders are a little bit vendor locked if they were made with Shader Graph, you can get the generated source for the shaders, but it is generated which can make it hard to read (single letter variables/function names). There's a ton of edge cases you could run into depending on the engine you're moving too, like Z being up vs Y being up or engines using a different normal map tangent basis, but there's tools that can fix those issues when you come up against them.
MichaelEstes commented on Ask HN: What’s the best GUI you’ve ever used for managing/querying databases? · Posted by u/kadomony
If you’re on OSX I haven’t found any program better than Sequel Pro (sometimes referred to as Sequel pancakes). It’s one of a few programs that makes keeping a Mac around worth it.
Does anyone know how accurate these are to the raw data a CT scan produces, it looks really clean, has it been touched up any significant amount or is this actually the quality of the machines?
