Yes, unreal is quite easy to get started in. You start with a scaffolding immediately when you start a new project. It literally has template options for different game types. It’s very friendly to artists as nearly all the art tools are gui driven. Blueprints are okay, I didn’t love them for all things but for a lot of things it was okay. Code is harder, you have to read their implementations of things if you want to do anything sufficiently complex. There’s not a lot of comprehensive technical material for the internals. Using unreal engine as a programmer feels like the using “enterprise” software in terms of scale and bloat except that it was built by seriously competent engineers.
I didn't really understand. What is the problem and what is the workaround? Can you give an example?
But that is exactly how Google searches worked on desktop platforms for more than half a decade (Instant Search), not some kind of a new idea. Given how long they kept that feature on, it seems pretty obvious that it can't have been the kind of revenue killer you suggest. If you can serve and display search results for a given possibly partial query, you can obviously serve ads too.

Even Unity isn't much better, the only good ones are the engines designed for Web specially like PlayCanvas and BabylonJS.

It can be a bit scarse on zones so if you can't find any zones in your area, suggest some in the app and then go to the forum and lobby for them [1]. The name of the area and why it's a nice place for a zone is a good start. The zone makers are all working on spare time so can take a while until you get your zones but they will add them sooner if they are easy to find :-)

Zig and D comes at it from different ends. With D, it feels like the C replacement aspect of it is an afterthought, an add-on (I don't remember it being a big focus at all when I used it).

Zig aims to be a C replacement from the start, including being a much better toolchain for cross-compiling C code than any other C compiler.

For embedded development, which is what is relevant to me, I never found D a good option. If that has changed they need to work on the marketing.

As an object-oriented garbage collected language with various nice features, I don't see what sets it significantly apart from C# anymore. Well, you can compile proper binaries. But dotnet core interpreters seems to be spreading on our Linux boxes, so then being able to run the same .exe in Linux and Windows is actually a nice thing. Then again I'm not in the market for such a language, so I probably shouldn't comment.
Here's Žižek commenting better than I could:

>I already am eating from the trashcan all the time. The name of this trashcan is ideology. The material force of ideology - makes me not see what I'm effectively eating. It's not only our reality which enslaves us. The tragedy of our predicament - when we are within ideology, is that - when we think that we escape it into our dreams - at that point we are within ideology.

In other words, what you think of as moderate and not ideological is a result of your ideology itself.

For a more thorough, very academic examination of ideology, I can recommend the book The Sublime Object of Ideology.
> Musk has hinted that he views Twitter as a public forum and should be moderated as such.

Nobody spends $4 billion to create a public forum or to defend free speech. You spend that kind of money for influence or to push an agenda. What his agenda is, who knows. I'm a fan of elon and maybe he is an outlier, but I'm not holding my breath. There was a time when everyone from google to facebook to reddit and even twitter all supported free speech. People forget that twitter was once a very pro-free speech platform. Everything from war footage to politics of all sides was available on twitter at one point.

> I hope the people who work at Twitter and think it is OK to bring your politics to work go elsewhere.

It's generally not the employees. Most tech employees are apolitical at work or against the woke culture. It's just that C-suite/HR gives protection to the tiny vocal minority espousing politics at work.

> We would all benefit from platform where telling jokes that offend only the wokest doesn't get you banned and silenced.

We would all benefit if every platform allowed people to have their say. Regardless of how "offensive" you find them to be.

With security the first question always needs to be, "What is your threat model?"

I'm sure this list has some valuable tips but it just jumps into a bunch of "do this, don't do that" action items without contextualizing recommendations for what an individual is trying to protect themselves against, or what they don't care about.
I've always wanted to play around with SS7 on the cell network. I imagine it must be somewhat like SMTP was back in early '00s - little security, lots of trust.

The point of the bill is that nobody will talk about anything because: "It also allows parents and teachers to sue any school district if they believe this policy is violated"

Teachers and school districts don't have the money to fuck around in court to learn what this means. This is basically the same strategy as the Texas abortion bill as it allows random evangelical busybody assholes to be morality police with the threat of crippling court costs.
There's an opportunity for helping with enterprise data. There's:

- Files (Box/DropBox/Google Drive/SharePoint)

- Static(ish) Pages (Wikis/internal CMS's/Actual websites hosted on some random nginx/apache)

- Web Apps (eg Internal Learning Platforms or helper HR apps or whatever)

- Chat (Slack/Discord/Teams/??)

- Email

- Files stored on my actual laptop

- Source Control (eg GitHub/GitLab/whatever ... which have their own wikis/pages/content)

Is it just me? Anyone else feel like finding something across the above mediums is difficult?
It has a software implementation as well.
It maybe wasn't "full of communists" but you are right that project VENONA has shown that McCarthy wasn't totally wrong either. Institutions were deeply inflitrated at all levels.

Note that you can use Nanite for almost all models in your scene and if at some point a model needs to be deformed you can swap-in a traditional mesh in its place to handle the deformations. That's how cars in the Matrix Awakens demo work, you can check that out if you enable the Nanite view and try to crash some cars.

Disk utilization is only one metric. The trade-off for Yarn PNP is that it incurs runtime startup cost. For us (~1000+ package monorepo), that can be a few seconds, which can be a problem if you're doing things like CLI tools.

Also, realistically, with a large enough repo, you will need to unplug things that mess w/ file watching or node-gyp/c++ packages, so there is some amount of duplication and fiddling required.
Channels-DVR blows Plex out to of the water for live content, including live streamed content from services like YouTube-TV. Will have to see if Plex can aggregate the rest now!

> Maybe (spitballing here) more tools for users who are QT'd

Yes - slowing down the rate of Twitter pile ons would help a lot. Rate limiting QTs from non-followers would help a lot I think. You could even extend this to manual text quotations and screenshots, using either printer dots or OCR. Subtweeting is fine - the point should be to avoid making randos the "it" person on Twitter.
RT's funding doesn't come from the government?
There is no justification, you're staking a position against radical politics, that is, politics that seeks to dismantle the current society and replace it with an ideological vision, and the agents of the dominant ideology which has no name (called Woke by its detractors) are mad that you are challenging one of their many parables from their scripture. Hence downvotes.
Which PC hardware setup?

There is a reason why game studios love consoles so much.

It is mostly the same during 5 years.
In my opinion, there's entirely too much context missing from this for us to say whether or not what is quoted there was totally reasonable.

Had the employee even brought that up to the manager before? Had they had the idea for a long time and didn't bring it up? If so, why not - does the manager foster a culture where collaboration isn't encouraged? If that's the case, does the manager not do that simply out of ineptitude, or because that's the same culture coming down from above him/her? Maybe the individual just had the idea that morning? That week? The very moment it came out of their mouth, even? Has the manager had a stellar tenure up to that point, or a rocky one? How severe was the issue pre-fix that it warranted this termination? I could go on and on.

Point being, two sentences saying, "An employee had an idea and Musk fired his boss because he didn't know about that idea," is typically not going to be enough for us to say, "Oh yeah, that was a good/bad call".
We switched to buddy.works[0] about a year ago and honestly it’s just been… smooth. The UI is just great, the wealth and breadth of options is ever increasing and all the basics like knowing what went wrong, restarting, debugging, duplicating etc just work as you’d expect. One of the few companies I can recommend.

RTX is basically marketing term for Nvidia's hardware that can accelerate ray-tracing. Previously you had to interact with it through proprietary Nvidia APIs, but now there is DXR and Vulkan Ray-tracing, which allows to interact with other hardware or software implementations of these standards. AMD have hardware accelerated ray-tracing now(but it's quite slow tbh) and Intel just released their GPUs with hardware RT. Lumen is GI algorithm that builds on RT APIs. You can learn about it's inner workings here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GYXuM10riw
The Roku app is tolerable (so, about as good as anything not from one of the companies that's big enough to gain access to the lower-level SDK)

The Android app works really well on a Shield, and is much more pleasant to use. Can't vouch for other devices, and Android experience, especially Android TV, can vary a lot with the device. The Shield also handles more video codecs and can pass through more audio formats than my Roku can, which means less transcoding, which means my poor, weak old server doesn't get abused while still only barely managing to generate a slideshow. In fact, I'm not sure I have any files that the Shield can't handle natively.

I love, love, love having a Web interface to use when I want to change things. Mixing the library & settings management interface with the "6-foot" remote-friendly interface, as on Kodi/XBMC, is a UI disaster. It's also very nice as a fallback streaming option, and works way better than I'd have expected.
I feel like Plex is late to the game with this given that all the new, up-to-date smart TV/streaming stick interfaces already have this feature - either they allow downloaded apps to register the movies they can stream, or there’s a central directory that surfaces apps that can stream certain content even when they’re not locally installed. See the TV app on iDevices or Google TV for an example.

Good point - Microsoft products practically created the modern security industry. They're experts.
For what it's worth Yarn 3 implements essentially all modes. It can do standard node_modules, its own Plug'n'Play, as well as pnpm-style hardlinking to a global cache.

Edit: I just learned from another comment that PNPM also supports Plug'N'Play :) Thanks steven-xu!
Other L1s can also probably handle it. Not at the latency that Solana could but I see a lot of other low cost high tps L1s handling something like this easily.

I think I've seen 2001, maybe Lawrence of Arabia, and perhaps one or two of the other big epic movies of that era on 35mm with mag sound.

Even by the late 70s, decent prints were getting hard to find though.

This is how I understand it as well. Currently, you can think about it like those old cartoons where parts of the background that were to be interacted with were a slightly different color to help the animators know what they had to work with.

Since we are so early in the stages of Nanite tech, I expect UE6 will tout some sort of deferred and active Nanite rendering to allow for handoff for deformation.

Touchscreen-only use actually works really well on GNOME, perhaps best of any OS. (The default on-screen keyboard is sadly very substandard compared to something like the open source Hacker's Keyboard for AOSP, but there are workable alternatives if you're running an Xorg session.)
I don't know what github is doing here, but I've seen this antipattern quite a few times in production at some big name companies...
I'm genuinely rooting for Jellyfin to overtake Plex in functionality and popularity; someone needs to. Plex isn't even fully FLOSS.

That said, I don't actually like Jellyfin, and I wish it weren't implemented in such a Windows-centric language framework.

Once I found out that Jellyfin existed, I excitedly spun up an instance and put all my media on it. It can't handle any AVI videos and lags a lot more than my Plex VM with exactly the same specs. Worst of all, it can't detect my external Chromecast, only the one built into my smart TV.

After assessing how well Jellyfin worked, I had to hang my head in defeat and return to using Plex. I can see that Jellyfin has a very active user / developer community on Matrix, and I bet things will get better.

EDIT: I accidentally said Windows-centric above, but what I meant was Microsoft-centric. I meant the company and not their OS. Leaving it the "wrong" way above for posterity.
Perhaps I was attempting to refer to progressive web apps, with manifests and such.

The short answer is because certain airlines behave in ways I can best describe as 'scummy'. Some airlines are now demanding anti-consumer provisions when they do deals with travel sites, such as insisting that sites hide cheaper flights, hide multi-airline itineraries, and hide certain booking options. We think this compromises the user experience heavily and erodes trust - you don't know if you're getting the best possible flight. Being a browser extension gives us the ability to show the lowest fares without going through airline servers or airline contracts, since we can search and compile all the data from your browser.
I can’t speak for twitter, but every American publicly funded news organization I know of has that label on YouTube (PBS for one)
The series is consciously playing with race. Certainly Charlotte didn't look like that, but her slightly-mixed racial background was inspiration for designing the character that way. Similarly, her costuming is patterned after pre-revolutionary France.

Other Regency-period movies are probably more accurate with respect to people's complexions -- pasty white, uniform, and bland. Bridgerton isn't designed to give you a photograph of what you might see were you in the Regency court.

Rather, it's designed to give you a sense of what it might have felt like: diverse, colorful, exciting. To focus on Charlotte's face is to miss the ways in which everything about the show is inauthentic -- the clothing, the language, the dances -- but also deeply in love with the period that inspires it. The couldn't have played with the tropes so consistently without knowing them very, very well.

There is also a lot more to be said about the way real race affected real people at the time. We should have more TV shows and movies, rather than this being the only one.
It's an old game so might need some fresh blood. You could do some flyers, there are some on the forum to download and print :-)

I usually stop and talk to people when they look at me funnily. You do look funny when you come on the bicycle - stopping in the middle of nowhere, stand still for 15 seconds and then run off again. They are all curios what you are doing and how it works, especially older people and some even start turfing after a while.

Agree, this is a pretty bad deal breaker for me. Big business people doing short-sighted big business things, salivating at cramming a product full of telemetry. All without transparency around it? In a terminal of all things?? Indescribably off-putting and catastrophically damages my trust in the product and the CEO.

EDIT: To be fair there is some transparency in the original post. I was looking through the landing page for it (where it is not mentioned). Also, imho it should still be opt-in even for beta. Not everyone is going to read the wall of text to parse out the buried note on telemetry
I do think Elon will provide a valuable counter-balance to the current monoculture that drives Twitter.

But I do not believe Elon in of himself can really resolve Twitter's ills (by my subjective assessment). Twitter and other social networks are ultimately reflections of parts of humanity. Us humans have our biases and our drives that don't just go away. You can obviously (and should) tweak the product to incentivize more productive dialog, but you can't overwrite our biases/drives/distribution of competencies by updating Twitter.

Personally, I view these social networks as mirrors, revealing parts of our humanity as it currently is. A lot of us don't like what we see, and we fixate strictly on the mirror, suggesting it's strictly the mirror's fault for displaying the unflattering image.
> I'd like to see the source code to their bots so that this experiment can be reproduced.

You don't need the bots source code to reproduce the experiment, just as you wouldn't ask to borrow/inspect a biochemist's beakers to reproduce their experiment.You simply follow the same steps they did and see if you observe the same results.
From the description "Being a browser extension gives us the ability to show the lowest fares without going through airline servers or airline contracts, since we can search and compile all the data from your browser."
I am annoyed that somehow Plex got this to work but Apple TV app does not with Netflix.

Also annoyed that Plex does not integrate with Apple TV App itself.

I wish I could make the TV app my goto. It's great for the things that support it, but sucks that not everything does. I wish apple would be "brave" and force any apps to integrate with it.

I keep looking for a good alternative (especially given the online requirement), but it seems like Plex is the only one with a decent Apple TV app. I have jellyfin running but the app situation is less than ideal.

If anyone has any recommendations with good Apple TV support?
Any Google killer needs to have search indexing technology and infrastructure as a core competency to be truly successful. Kagi has done a great job of solving some of the UX and privacy problems endemic in online search these days, but at the end of the day they could be snuffed out at the whim of the big search providers (Google, Bing) if they decide to kick them off until they can get their own indexing solution off the ground. If an alternative search engine reached Bing's level of popularity, this would undoubtedly happen.

The same goes for DuckDuckGo and others. All of the above use the Bing search API for the majority of their web results which for most use cases is not economically sustainable.

I do think there is a large swath of users who will pay a subscription for a truly great search engine offering, but indexing has to be at the core of this offering, at least for me. If users realized this is just Bing results with a few enhancements and additional result sources mixed in, they might not be as willing to pay for what they could technically get for free elsewhere, albeit with significantly less privacy.

That said I wish Kagi all the luck in the world. As the original dev who planned out and built the initial backend implementation in Crystal and put together their early engineering team, I can at least say they are building on rock-solid, very fast and privacy-oriented foundations, and this is a truly web-scale product in terms of the infrastructure design.
Here's a simple criterion I propose: is the platform disbanded?

For example, in GNU Make's dir.c file. There's a lot of stuff like this:

#ifndef _AMIGA
return dir_file_exists_p (".", name);
#else /* !AMIGA */
return dir_file_exists_p ("", name);
#endif /* AMIGA */

There should be a foreseeable date when we can say, "OK the Amiga maintainers have added a feature that lets us use '.' as a directory so we can now delete that #ifdef". But that day is guaranteed to never come, because the Amiga project is disbanded. So should we keep that until the heat death of the universe?

I would propose that we instead say, if you use Amiga, there's great support for it in versions of GNU Make up until x.y.z. So if you love old Amigas, you'll be well served using an older version of GNU Make. I think it's straightforward.
So did we finally get Boxee back?

That was far and away the best platform back and we had it 11-12 years ago.
Apologies, but I made a comment on u/lifeisstillgood that should help answer your question. If you need further elaboration please let me know.
My city has already started installing high powered parking-lot style LED streetlights all over the city. IMO the battle is already lost.
