looks like desktop client works for me but not for my colleague(both linux). Neither of us connect to web client though.


>It would never occur to me to create a programming library where you have the 'basic' open source version and the 'optimized' commercial version.

We can say that this exists for the wireless networking drivers.

Generally IC is marketed with the features enabled with commercial driver, but shipped with open-source driver.


Maps are partially affected, page review returns 500, now even location pages doesn't open


I would add dress code to this list.

"We have smart casual dress code in this software department. So you can't wear shorts event if its 40 degrees celsius. Oh and shirt is mandatory"


"Oh and shirt is mandatory"

So wait, coding without a shirt on is how a thing?

My god man.

If there is air conditioning, slacks shouldn't be a problem though shorts aren't extraordinarily unsuitable.

You can wear a shirt man.


I think the contrast is shirt vs. t-shirt, rather than shirt vs. bare chest.


In some countries a "shirt" means specifically a button-down. In the same way that "slacks" means long pants. So this likely just means that a button-down is required rather than a t-shirt.


A button down shirt is one where the collar is buttoned to the yoke. I think you mean a button up shirt, one that has a placket and buttons in the front versus a pull over or t-shirt.


Oh fascinating, I had no idea they had different meanings!


We had a chap who wore leather, except sometimes a T-Shirt expressing quite harshly an opinion about a globally recognised major religious figure from antiquity.

I was glad to see a dress code come in.


I feel absolutely blessed that I can wear camo cargo shorts and metal band shirts at work.

Obviously I don't wear any of the graphic or gory ones, or from bands with obviously offensive names, and I will choose a nice polo shirt if I know I'm going to be having meetings people from other parts of the organization, especially if they're higher up in the hierarchy.

That said, the best head of development we ever had would wear leather pants, ass-kicking boots, rivet belts and band shirts, and he had a Mongol warrior-style beard and hairstyle. He also consistently got the very best reviews and the best results out of his teams.


A literal Rockstar head of development. Wow. :)


I think it's possible to deal with offensive (or otherwise inappropriate) clothing on a case by case basis without the need to bring in a smart dress code. Sometimes people implement policies as a way of avoiding awkward conversations but, to me at any rate, part of being a good manager and leader is measured by your ability and willingness to treat your staff like human beings and have those awkward conversations when it's necessary.


The dress code that came in was effectively "Do not have the word 'Cunt' written in four inch high letters on your clothing".


Amazing. I'm going to make it my mission in life to get exactly that wording into the HR handbook where I work now.


Crass T-shirts are certainly one thing, but what is wrong with leather..?


I was wondering that as well. Exactly what sort of leather garments are we talking about here?


They were leather trousers, as I recall. Laced up at the sides; not sure if they were permanently joined at the top, or if they were just a front and a back that one had to completely tie together.

Nobody had a problem with the leather (although a peekaboo stripe of visible leg down the outside of each, covered in a criss cross of something that looked like shoelace was sometimes a surprise). That was just flavour detail.


Yeah, OK: not loving the lace-up aspect.


When I worked in the medical field, doctors would occasionally visit unannounced. We were required to wear a shirt and tie, with an available jacket, at all times.


I remember my brother in law, who worked in very senior position in a large UK financial institution that "holidays are when you can go into the office and take your suit jacket off".

I don't even own a suit :-)

Edit: A few years back I turned down a second interview at the same organisation after they insisted I turn up "in standard business attire" - i.e. a suit.


"holidays are when you can go into the office and take your suit jacket off"

Last time I went on holiday, I took a tailored suit and dressed smarter than I do at work. Three-piece suit (typically I wore just the waistcoat; done right, that looks smarter than the jacket), tailored shirt to go with it.

When it's your own choice to look sharp, it's a whole different game.


A religion user should be able to handle that.


I'm not at all religious, but when I found myself reading "Jesus is a cunt" every time I happened to look at him, it did irk me. I think it would have not mattered what specific name was there, emblazoned in four inch high letters on his clothes.


Because everyone implicitly forced for improving the maps via a bullsh*t named captcha.


could be there any effort to conversion to opengl support, or it would be too complex to handle ?


It would probably be better to port to SDL2, which can then use whichever rendering backend is best for your platform.


Nothing is too complex to handle, it just depends on how many resources you have at your disposal and perhaps how much interest there is.

Edit: I suppose in this case it would depend on exactly what capability one would have over the original game data which acts as a dependency for this.


there is a standard in motor industry called misra, because the target user is human you have to met some certain safety level. Otherwise bad things happen like this.

Maybe self driving industry needs to have some safety rules too to prevent when the unexpected happens.


>But as the food in your stomach processes the liver is continually getting more calories. So if you eat a huge meal right before going to bed its possible to never switch to fat burning.

Probably that's because some people advice eat pasta a night before your sports event. To have some calories in your body to burn in the morning until first food stop.


It varies with length of the connection, if it's short fire it up to 1 mbps or higher. Your speed gets lower as distance gets further
