I think it could be less coupled than it is.

For instance, renderers (esp. back-ends) and physics engines are already largely subsystems which are fairly separate from the rest of the game logic.

I can imagine a world where you start with a package manager, and maybe you choose one overarching framework/ecosystem which will serve as a middleware for combining nav meshes and animations etc. in the same world space, handling events etc. the same way you might choose a framework for building a web-server from several popular options.

There's no reason you need an extremely heavy-weight closed-source black-box system to serve as the foundational layer.
One of my school friends walked a different path from me and became a paramedic. He used to have to go to homes in "socioeconomically challenged areas" in order to revive people who had taken substances that they should not have taken - and also other things which were even less good. On one of these trips in a drug hell hole he saw a tank with a spider in it, and he realised that these people were likely mistreating it. So he asked if they wanted it and after a short conversation bought it off them for a nominal amount.

So - he had a tarantula. I had never seen or met a thing like that and I was fascinated. It was very shy at first - it spent all day everyday hiding, possibly because of fear of drug addicts. But eventually it got a bit more confident. The thing was, it recognised and remembered individual humans. When it first met you or saw you it would hide. If you were calm and Kit (the paramedic) was calm with you it would come out and allow you to stroke it. This might take a few visits. But, once you had won it's confidence it would come right out and say hi as soon as you were in the room.

I came to believe that it was self aware, and that it had a mental model that included social interactions and trust. It was just a belief, as it's really hard to see the anecdote and experience I have as data, but that's what interacting with it made me think. I thought it was as smart as a cat, or maybe even a dog.

I've very little exposure to this tech but my instinct tells me that it is no more than a curiosity for tech folks so long as you are required to wear a large, uncomfortable, expensive thing on your head.

I don't know what the next evolution of this is, but if it involves "wearing" something, it needs to have characteristics like being featherweight, as trivial to take on and off as a pair of glasses, 0 friction to operate, and be extremely robust and durable. IIRC, Google Glass, for example, had none of these properties (and it wasn't VR/AR in any sense).

Are we anywhere near this? How far off is hardware that's really mass-market ready?

The headline itself, let alone the content is so stupid it drools (well, I suspect people do not take the Guardian seriously in any case).

It is a bit ridiculous. The article about the vaccine efficacy going down at 6 months at all metrics [1] has been dropped from the front page (and the second page, too!). Yet this piece of garbage goes up unquestioned.

And both articles come from the same source no less!

I know there is an agenda to parrot and group think and all that, but ... really? And for the record, I personally think there's absolutely no downside to the vaccine, so everyone who doesn't is an idiot -- but this type of "babysitting the idiots" is going to backfire. Terribly.

Not wearing a seatbelt while driving does actually increase the risk to those around you. If you need to make a sudden swerve to avoid something that suddenly gets in your way such as a deer leaping into the road in front of you, wearing a seatbelt should increase your chances of maintaining control during and after the swerve.

It was really fun in the old days when we didn't have seatbelts and cars often had bench seating in front, so that on a sudden left turn (in the US) the driver could slide could slide far to the right.

>That is, perhaps these long Covid issues aren't 100% due to the virus.

I agree. But it is hard to find a specific correlation. The neurological complications after Covid affect people of all ages except very young. Even the late teenagers (18 yr) can be affected, albeit to a lesser degree.

Beaconization? Everyone with a Transponder?
I wonder why this needs approval anyways. And why are machines left out? I am also interested in machines, that sneak up behind me.

Do these things have to have signatures, so one can identify everything and can do tracking and personalization? Are smartphones already equipped to deliver such signals? Will animals like it or get confused?

In general, i do not mind beaconization. The environment can adapt with more sensors. Traffic lights could be removed. start/stop traffic could be optimized. I find it odd that is so focused on pedestrians or bicyclists.

I think that's the the Baader–Meinhof phenomenon.

From Wikipedia:
Frequency illusion, also known as the Baader–Meinhof phenomenon or frequency bias, is a cognitive bias in which, after noticing something for the first time, there is a tendency to notice it more often, leading someone to believe that it has a high frequency of occurrence – a form of selection bias.

Standards are lovely if everyone follows and supports them but even the three main web engines don’t. And even when they’re similar enough there are significant differences in important characteristics like JS performance.

Likewise one of the things thats most fiddly and annoying in game engines is dealing with implementation of things like OpenGL that are based on standards but not actually implemented to spec across OSes and hardware.

I agree on the dangers of relying on closed-source, proprietary software but if we wanted to avoid that we could just point to Godot as our monolithic example de jour instead.

Totally agree. I have a system 76 laptop and I find it confusing that they will spend their development cycles this way.

Their business model is rebadging hardware and ensuring it will run Linux well. Their value add is in working on proper hardware support for these devices in Linux and in replacing the proprietary Clevo BIOS.

I'll gladly pay more for that!

But Pop_OS in general (and now this DE) seem to be straying far afield. I will never use either. To the extent that these endeavors raise their unit prices, they risk pushing customers to directly buy a Clevo or another rebadge.
I just looked up your printer and it looks extremely similar to the one that I have, which is the Creality Ender 3. Both appear to have an identical stock plate, which makes me think your base adhesion problems will almost certainly be addressed by switching to a spring-steel PEI plate. Although I didn't start having problems after only a few prints, the stock plate on the Ender 3 actually worked too well for me which often caused me to need to use a tool to pry and scrape prints off which resulted in damage and reduced adhesion. I switched to the PEI plate and all my problems related to adhesion went away. It's smoother than the stock plate but somehow PLA sticks pretty well to it, yet not so much that I can't easily remove prints with my fingers. No glue stick or hair spray needed so far.

3D printers really aren't good toys in and of themselves. They're fun for a little while and then you realize you don't need that many plastic doodads. But mine's been very useful for certain projects where I need to build custom parts. People sometimes forget that these printers are just tools like anything else. Fortunately they've become so cheap that it's not really that much of an expense to find that out for one's self.

EDIT: Seriously, anyone with adhesion problems should get a PEI plate. I have had nothing but success with mine and I don't know why these printers don't just come with them in the first place.
Well… the real irony here is HP embodies zero of what this article talks about. It’s honestly hilarious to me, that Packard ever said any of this considering how absolutely shit HP is in my opinion. The bit about embracing this for the gateway merger shows how out of touch modern management is with reality. The only thing I’d really glean from this is that Packard and Hewlett were totally shit at establishing a good culture that can last the test of time.
Based on their marketing videos only a portion of the house is 3D printed.

I fail to see how this is any better than a traditionally built house. The 3d printed section would seem to be difficult to run wiring and plumbing through. And framers can build a wall faster than that printer can pour and set the material it's using. I just don't think this style of 3D printing works for housing.
> The first prototypes of the engine were failures. I couldn't even get OpenGL to work right.

As someone who's worked with OpenGL since ~ 20 years (and professionally for the last 12 years) I can ascertain that in fact nobody ever gets OpenGL to work right across different platforms. Everybody just puts in enough workarounds and #ifdefs s.t. it appears that it's "write once, run anywhere", where in reality what you write for one set of hardware will almost certainly fail on another (the definition of "fail" here is pretty broad: crashes, weird slowdowns that don't make any sense, memory leaks in the driver, outright non-compliance with the standard, etc..).

The reason is that most vendor's OpenGL implementations are broken in one way or another, particularly on mobile. Vendors treat their drivers like another box to check s.t. they can claim OpenGL compatibility but in reality it's what makes or brakes real world performance (web browsers, games, 2d graphics, etc..). It's astonishing.

> Diet and exercise are indeed not the path to weight loss. This is well known: most fad diets work this way in some fashion or another, and it’s well known that most fad diets fail.

I think you're misunderstanding what I'm saying. I'm not suggesting people go on keto or weight watchers. Those fad diets don't necessarily fail because they're ineffective, although they probably are--they fail because they are highly prescriptive and restrictive and it's difficult for people to actually execute the diet.

What I'm saying is that reducing total food intake for 3 days creates a lasting decrease in appetite. You can prove this to yourself by skipping breakfast for a few days: after a while, you will simply not be hungry at breakfast time.

Borosilicate Glass or PEI with spring steel backing (if your bed has the magnets vs the build surface having magnet material) work great in my first hand experience, both will give a much better surface adhesion than most others.

Another cheaper option is G10 or FR4. I've got copper backed FR4 on my list of things to try. Apparently it has a more even heating due to he copper against the heated bed. I've been using the glass held on with Binder clips until recently when a few binders popped off and tossed the whole lot on the floor of my garage sending shards everywhere.
tell me that doesn't improve load times

It will negatively impact load times.

Either you only bundle what is needed on the current page. Then the next page will load slower because it needs to bundle all those modules again as it uses a slightly different set of modules.

Or you bundle everything used on any page your users might go to during their session. This will give you a giant blob that has to be loaded upfront which contains a ton of modules the user never need during their browsing session.
This usually has the downside that you have to clean/wash the plate after a few prints, as the glue otherwise accumulates to a height that interferes with printing.

> Can another desktop, this with Rust, bring 10x?

I believe so. Rust is a much higher-level language than C so it's easier to hack on, but at the same time has much stronger guarantees.

Overall, its type system prevents many many bugs (it is my personal experience that when code compiles, it just works) and enables "fearless refactoring" which for something as complex as a desktop environment is a killer feature.

I don't know if counting on GTK as a toolkit is a good choice (though it has certain benefits eg for accessibility) but for sure writing a desktop environment in Rust is an interesting experiment.
I strongly disagree on the first point. The carriers used are entirely an issue with my carrier. I don't use a phone that's in any way associated with my carrier, and I expect the SIM card to "just work" when I put it in a phone.

Hi, author here. I'm going to ignore the personal attacks and simply point out that my dev build processes typically have a startup time of under 5 seconds even for large projects, and a rebuild time of under 500ms. This is with Browserify.

If you are having very slow build times with your existing toolchain, the problem isn't the bundling, which is an extremely fast operation. It's almost certainly going to be one specific computationally-intensive plugin that you either don't need, or would also need if using ESM.
