RFK Jr. Cancels mRNA-Vaccine Funding and the Blowback Is Swift While anti-vaxxers are thrilled, experts warn that defunding mRNA development takes away our already-proven best weapon against future pandemics.

“It’s shocking”: Massive raw milk outbreak from 2023 finally reported The outbreak occurred in 2023–2024, but little information had been shared about it.

it's cool that we can use science to pinpoint the source of outbreaks, but it's also a shame that we have to.

that's a legit question: 3rd party code comes with 3rd party coding styles and bits you may not be able to change. I'll limit my gripe to in-house development :-)

#gamedev I know I'm being inflammatory here but what is the Gen Z and Gen Alpha programmers resistance to logging? So much time wasted.

Ag secretary says able-bodied Medicaid recipients should replace immigrant farm workforce USDA secretary says there’s “no amnesty” from mass deportations for farm labor, but that enforcement should be “strategic.”

huh, this might finally get through to my hardcore MAGA relatives, all of whom are on "disability."

hey Google, seems like you should have an AI to catch this kind of overlay faux pas?

soooo random but the text box UI brings up memories from a game I worked on 😍

that looks dope, a cat theme is such a great choice for that kind of acrobatics

Saw this the other day and it seems even more appropriate given the news that the DOGE script kiddies are going to rewrite the Social Security Administration's COBOL system... in just a few months. How much would you bet this is all going to be vibe coding. This is the 'FO' part of FA/FO.

There are levels of trash and then there's MTG.

A real leader gives credit and takes responsibility. In contrast I give you the latest Trump clusterfuck: www.cnn.com/politics/liv...

There's a crazy amount of the @unity.com API that is nondeterministic. For all you multiplayer devs.. be suspicious of anything that enumerates or returns a collection of game objects.

Next week's #GameDev journey: networked procedural level generation. Gotta roll up the sleeves for this one.

Trump and Vance attack Zelenskyy in remarkable Oval Office exchange The president and vice president each had harsh words for the Ukrainian president.

Welp, that's the "art of the deal" for you right there. I'd have never believed a US president would behave in such a shameful, petulant, egotistical manner. What an absolute disgrace.

I'm old school but the blue TRON glasses win for me

that's beautiful

Dear @cnn.com :
I'm sure you're hurting for cash but putting up the subscriber wall when evil is literally taking over ... kind of helps their agenda, doesn't it?

Before I went down the dark path of game programming there was a time when I could draw. I'll never be a digital artist but how can I start sketching again beyond 'How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way' and creeping ppl out at coffee shops?

my personal day to day...

oh I just wondered about the dev side if that was multiple game processes, 4 clients in the same process or multiple machines. At work we use parrel sync (unity)... pros and cons. At home all the clients run in the same process because I am lazy :-)

how are you doing your multiplayer testing?

Writing a data versioning framework might not be glamorous but it's pretty damn satisfying. #gamedev

I agree that this is unpleasant, but it's a natural degeneration of F2P. Devs have to keep the lights on and pay salaries. If the game is "free" there has to be some trade. Maybe it's ads or microtransactions. If anyone is doing a story game on mobile I would love to know your secret.

Does there need to be a balance? If you buy a cool game and just want to experience the story, that should absolutely be an option.
