Surveys directly built into the game that randomly select people work pretty well to avoid this As do well stratified email surveys, although in-game surveys have much better response rates (but often can't be as complex as an email survey)

After two weeks of #COP30 negotiations, countries agreed to BEGIN DISCUSSIONS on fossil fuel phase out. And as the article says, "they achieved this incremental progress only in the teeth of implacable opposition from oil-producing countries." THIS is the problem with requiring unanimous decisions.

Good news! Epic submitted a fix for this issue! The even better news is that they didn't just merge my proposed fix but wrote a better one, which can even handle arbitrary tooltip types, not just text-only ones. Much better outcome than I could have hoped for 🥳

Recent discussion about the perils of doors in gamedev reminded me of a bug caused by a door in a game you may have heard of called "Half Life 2". I wrote it up over on Mastodon (I find it's better at long threads): mastodon.gamedev.place/@TomF/115589...

The return to office stuff is totally incomprehensible to me. You're telling me everyone was doing the job for years without an office, but now people have to spend UNPAID time every day commuting to an office, which costs the company a ton of money, to do the exact same job? lol what the fuck why
