due to immigration, USA draws talent from global population of 8.2 billion, so the top limit of people with IQ>140 that can live in USA should be drawn from 8.2 billion, not 340 mln
Not anymore it shouldn't.

Ironically you've failed to use your own app to build a landing page to capture leads! I bounced off immediately and would need to see an example before filling this stuff out.

Buy him DRM free games on GOG.
I Do this for young relatives.
Ive been shown WhatsApp threads of the young teens who play the DRM-free games i upload - my google drive ID is effectively referenced as some kind of deity lol
Side benefit: No online play or interaction with the outside world, only with your own group (usually)
As a game developer it's kind of sad to see such practices in stealing my or others hard work.
But I have to keep telling myself those kids or parents wouldn't have paid for them anyway.
Maybe consider buying a few copies at least in the future?

Project management is definitely ripe for new competitors. But the pricing sales form dark pattern is so frustrating. Why do people do that? Does it really increase engagement? It legitimately pisses me off, and I'm the decision maker on taking on this kind of software or not.

With previous attempts at this problem the shaded examples could be quite misleading because details that appeared to be geometric were actually just painted over the surface as part of the texture, so when you took that texture away you just had a melted looking blob with nowhere near as much detail as you thought. I'd reserve judgement until we see some unshaded meshes.

There exists software to reproject texture normals back on to a high poly model. So this problem does have a solution for anyone interested.
strich commented on How to hire low experience, high potential people worktopia.substack.com/p/... · Posted by u/chuckhend
We built Fly.io resume-blind and without interviews, hiring people at every level of experience without having to make decisions based on that experience. We did it by throwing away all this stuff, ditching interviews, and replacing them with work-sample tests. Some of the best people on our team, the best I've worked with in my whole career, are working here in their first job in our field.
I'm a little grumpy about this "diamonds in the rough" shit. I'm more concerned about what's lurking in the diamond mines. If people can demonstrate that they can do the work, I don't much need to know if "they have a chip on their shoulders". More generally: I have zero faith in anyone's ability to learn much from psychological interviews.
In a world where chat gpt exists I think even work samples are untrustworthy sources of excellence unfortunately.
It would seem one has to either watch the process or devise unique and difficult to game tests.

Right from site https://godotengine.org/features/#script
""Leverage your C# experience to feel right at home If you're an experienced C# user, Godot offers you first-class support for the .NET platform. Power your game with familiar libraries and give them performance boost, while still benefiting from close engine integration.
Note: .NET support is provided as a dedicated engine executable. C# support is available for desktop and mobile platforms as of Godot 4.2. Web support should be added in the future, but until then, Godot 3 remains a supported option.""
He's talking about the Switch port library. It didn't support C# yet.
But also on the wider topic Godot still struggles with making C# a first class citizen compared to its home baked script language. They're improving things but it's not great yet.

Possibly stupid question - why are so many companies laying off?
According to Wallstreet, the majority of the recession scare isn't a scare. Inflation, while not fully at target, is getting better. Unemployment is at an all time low.
So many companies are laying off like it's the worst times ahead. Obviously layoffs aren't taken lightly so there must be some internal signals that really push them to take these measures.
It just seems like Feds+WallStreet vs companies actions are at odds with each other?
I have no credentials to provide an informed opinion, but in my industry of gamedev where layoffs are currently widespread and massive, the consensus seems to be that the past 3 years saw unprecedented hiring growth due to covid etc and it has caused an otherwise "normal" consolidation cycle to be way larger.
For me I think it rings true - I don't think some dark storm is coming it's just the tide going back out after a big spending spree.
What about the CPU usage?
Facebook loads a lot of information. I don't think we should be comparing the download size of a hello world app with loading dozens of images on a facebook feed.
Honestly I'm afraid you don't know what you're talking about. Blazor just isn't that experience and hasn't been for awhile.
The problem is, all of this stuff will probably be dead in a few years. I think they would be better off working within established paradigms rather than trying to do something completely new. How about, for example, making it as easy as possible to use React with a C# backend?
You can't be blamed for having that opinion given history. But Blazor is I think standing on the graves of those previous attempts and is looking extremely strong - it is as of even a year ago mature, well supported, and a deep ecosystem.
I think it's pretty safe to be optimistic at this point.
