Unity was never that great of an engine and tooling. I’ve only come across one extremely specific circumstance where it was technically the superior choice. Where it gained mindshare was its licensing deals before Unreal changed theirs. It grew with the mobile gaming boom and in order to keep growing they tried to grow to compete with the AAA/AA engines (most of which are either Unreal, in house and studio exclusive, or completely custom) and barely made it… I say barely because based on my experience and the conversations I’ve had, anyone who built a technically impressive game with Unity has probably built 80% of it themselves because the stuff that shipped with unity wasn’t up to the job. Unity survived because after a boom in developer mindshare courtesy of mobile games, lots of familiar developers were available to recruit for larger Unity projects where they got to spend their time reimplementing more and more of the entire game engine themselves on top of Unity because it didn’t really give anyone enough to build more than the simplest of games.

I’m not saying it’s broken or shit, it did deliver a working engine. Just that the entire marketing hype and ecosystem built on top of it was a technical house of cards held together by the suffering of the developers using it.

It’s the MongoDB of game engines, “worse is better” … because we spent most of the money on marketing, because marketing gets sales via our content marketplace before people can really discover how bad it is, and by then they’re fighting the sunk cost fallacy of the money they spent in the content store… just good old classic MBA “apathetic evil” … nothing special.
Well that sucks. Updated my project and https no longer works :( guess I got to figure out what changed with https mode.
American fixed rate mortgages are locked in for the life of the loan. If you get an ARM (adjustable rate mortgage) this is not the case. A fixed rate mortgage is a hedge against rising rents and rising interest rates. New landlords buy in at higher rates/higher prices and rents will increase as a lagging factor.

Yes, everything that goes wrong with the house is now your responsibility. Yes, you will pay property taxes. Landlords are not in the business of renting at a loss in cities just yet. Occupancy rates are still high.
That should be indicated by the Content-Type header, not the status code. If you get a 2XX response but the Content-Type isn't what you expect, you probably shouldn't try to parse it. I've seen misbehaving APIs return 2XX when they really should've returned 503.

Often this it to get around the inability for some cloud-based load balancers to accept 5XX status codes as healthy responses. Take AWS ELB/ALB, for example. There are conditions under which a target instance knows the underlying issue isn't related to its own health, such as during planned maintenance, upgrades, or database failures. In these situations, it would be desirable to return 503 and configure ELB/ALB to accept that as a healthy response. Since AWS won't let you do that, some applications will just return an empty or bogus 200 response during upgrades or maintenance.
They did this with the option to disable SSL a few years ago. Google provided an IP that would offer a non-SSL frontend for search that admins to redirect to using DNS, the idea being that schools and local networks could maintain whatever blocking or logging needed. Iran used its gateway filtering to redirect all DNS requests in the country. Google ended up stepping in some way to cut them off.
Do you know particularly few Israeli companies compared to lets say South African or Polish companies? Wouldn't that just mean it's not a "startup nation" as if it was, you would have heard about those companies? Your reasoning here seems backwards.

> But I wasn't wrong about AngularJS, Bootstrap and a litany of jQuery plugins.

Although it's an imperfect measure of developer popularity, Angular has 82K stars on GitHub, Bootstrap has 158K, and jQuery itself has 56K. Both projects you love have fewer stars. Assuming your opinion is that those projects are "dead", you may have "shiny thing syndrome".
The FAANG example was exaggerated, but the core point still stands. Across the board, labor in US has seen sharp income increases the last couple years, and families have had elevated savings rate for a lot longer. Plus, nobody was spending anything in the beginning of COVID. That latent spending power of households is now being deployed, and huge contributor to inflation.
What are the register image sizes in WP?

Also, have to uploaded any images that might not satisfy the necessary dimensions.

If WP was doing it correctly all the time there would be a question or two per week about images in the various WP groups I'm in.

At the end of the day, you can have rules for WP cropping / resizing images. But those don't necessary guarantee the dimension of the image output from that. And WP certainly isn't checking each any every image for it's actual dimensions.

And WP aside, it just doesn't make sense any output from a CMS is going to exactly what you expect. object-fit is a fail-safe. Object-fit is also smarter and better than a fixed size background image.

The article has a narrow-ish use case.

On the contrary, I was happy that with REST, we finally didn't put something on top of the current already kinda big pile, but used the topmost layer in a sensible way. 4xx responses can also have a body, which could explain to the caller whether it's the entity or the endpoint that doesn't exist.

> I must make fewer assumptions about the response, for example that they are well-formed or even match the requested content-type.

I think that you should always assume that an HTTP response is a well-formed HTTP response (otherwise you can't even trust that the 404 itself is correct); and you should never assume that the received MIME type is the same as the ones you indicated you accepted; you should always check the Content-type header.
Like humans do.
Interesting. I vaguely remember the ban on chemical fertiliser but wasn't aware of currency shortage as a cause. I did a bit of research as well, and some Sri Lankan are apparently laying blame at the feet of Vandana Shiva, a government advisor and environmental activist with a strong anti-GMO stance:

https://navdanyainternational.org/sri-lankas-shift-towards-o...

> On April 27, 2021, the Sri Lankan government decided to ban importing chemical fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides and to replace them with organic inputs and methods. This decision was supported by many, including the Global Alliance for Organic Districts, who petitioned for the President’s collaboration in order to include Sri Lanka to an international network of local organic districts. Sri Lanka’s shift towards organic farming was also heavily discussed by both local and foreign researchers and activists. On the 7th and 9th of June, Dr. Vandana Shiva, President of Navdanya International, took part in two online workshops on the Sri Lankan government’s project to go towards organic agriculture and ban agrochemicals.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vandana_Shiva

>Shiva serves on Government of India Committees on Organic Farming. She participated in the Stock Exchange of Visions project in 2007.[22]

>In 2021, she advised the government of Sri Lanka to ban inorganic fertilizers and pesticides[23][24] stating "This decision will definitely help farmers become more prosperous. Use of organic fertilizer will help provide agri products rich with nutrients while retaining the fertility of the land."[25] The policy caused a crisis with a significant reduction of farming output in several sectors, hitting the tea industry in particular[26][27][28] and reducing rice yields were by one third.[25] The ban was overturned seven months later.[24]

Not exactly "Western green elites" but it may be that a strand of pseudoscientific environmentalism played a part.
Fair 'nuff, but I've spent most of my adult life, trying to explain fairly arcane technical stuff to non-technical people, so tend to use the vernacular.

I'd probably say something like "IronSource provides infrastructure to help game distributors make money off ads and measure the way their games are used."

Maybe also followed by "And they will make us FREAKIN' RICH!"
Yeah, I wrote quite a bit of Turbo Pascal code on CP/M on a Radio Shack TRS80 Model II. I loved TP and CP/M, especially TP.
Which means the Fed will continue to let ~$90B out of its $9T portfolio of treasuries and agency-sponsored mortgage-backed bonds mature and be paid off every month, without recycling the proceeds back into newer holdings to replace the old ones. The innocuous-sounding name for this process if "quantitative easing," but its impact may be far from innocuous.[a]

Consider: Every treasury that matures must be refinanced by the US Treasury by issuing new treasuries, and most mortgage-backed bonds are paid off before maturity via home sales financed with new mortgages. Therefore, bond investors other than the Fed -- that is, mutual funds, ETFs, sovereign wealth funds, pension plans, individuals, etc. -- will have to buy an additional ~$90B of newly issued treasuries and mortgage-backed bonds, give or take, every month, going forward.

And that means all investors other than the Fed must find ~$90B/month x 12 = ~$1.1T/year to buy newly issued treasuries and mortgage-backed bonds. In practical terms, they will have to withdraw ~$1.1T/year in aggregate from all other financial assets they own. The price of all such other financial assets, including "safe havens" like gold and Bitcoin, may not behave as predicted by any model!

if you sanction Iran, limiting their fruit sellers, you have to have means to track the trades in order to enforce those sanctions - lightening network is effectively untraceable at the moment (and tools built on top of bitcoin can make tracing payments provably impossible) which means the sanctions can't be easily enforced - no country is going to spend resources proving their businesses aren't doing fruit trades with sanctioned countries, so if you can't trace the money, you're going to have an incredibly hard time enforcing sanctions - which I would suggest means Iranian fruit sellers aren't going to be nearly as limited in their trade. Iran certainly isn't going to limit them and the sanctioning country (US in this example) isn't going to have the resources to audit every single import to every other country.
This is not surprising, I got a deal with the NYT and attempted to cancel through a phone call where they extended the offer. 12 months later same call, they asked what would I need to stay and I said same offer indefinitely, 1$ a month is worth it but not much more as a European when its not my main source of news. For some reason I still prefer dead trees when I can find the time.
Some folks in this thread are characterizing this as a one-sided acquisition but what I did not realize was that ironSource is a public company

ironSource ltd: mkt cap ~3bn
Unity ltd: mkt cap 10bn

This is an all-stock deal https://seekingalpha.com/news/3856307-ironsource-surges-afte...

Ironsource also has 30-50% the number of employees as Unity:

https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/ironsource
https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/unity-technologies

So this definitely can be characterized as a merger.
This attitude is how societies age out and die.

Raising children is part of the social contract of a society. It’s you who wants it all: to live free from that burden and to benefit from the generation raised at that time as you age.

Or do you prefer that the next generation not be there as you age and need assistance?

None of that is intended to diminish your efforts in raising your siblings. Unfortunately that doesn’t absolve you of societal duties if we want to continue as a society.

The unfortunate fact is that to raise a child now really does require two incomes in the US. How do you propose these parents solve this issue?
Vite is a fast, efficient “bundler” for npm modules. You can run a dev environment and package code for complex, modern frameworks like svelte, vue 3, etc. It is not in itself a “framework” like React.
Not saying this directly applies, but under the Lanham Act, nonuse of a trademark for three consecutive years is prima facie evidence of abandonment.
Many moons ago I worked with a system like this. An XML based API that returned 200 because "the server and/or service isn't broken" but the body would contain errors.

I understand what the owner of the API is trying to convey. "My service is up, and the URL itself exists" (status 200), but in the body "the data you requested doesn't exist" (result: true, error: "doesn't exist). If you are stubborn enough, you can even think you're right.

But by Odin's Beard this was one of the hardest APIs I had to work with. It doesn't help that most HTTP clients assume a sane* API expecting error codes based on the resources.

Note: I say sane, but within this context, this is of course subjective. For me, error codes corresponding to the resources is sane, but to OP this is clearly not the case.
That just sounds like banking with extra steps.

> It would be difficult or impossible with most observabilty platforms to make it parse the http response

Yea, because they've all been built on top of the same faulty assumption. This isn't a counter argument to the OP in any way and I'm kind of surprised you're not the only one bringing this up as some kind of gotcha.

Obviously platforms would need to be handle and treat http and application layers differently. This is as much a given as the fact you'd have to update all your client code to wrap and unwrap the application layer on top of the http layer.

The observability of your application would actually increase as you'd be able to differentiate between an increase in application failure modes from an increase in http failure modes. That's actually really valuable.
Contracts, if done right, could be used by the compiler or some dedicated linter or tester before execution. This could open up safety guarantees that are way beyond what we can currently use. The question, of course, is what kind of constraint language is both useful and solvable. Unfortunately, people have been focused on the "dynamic" typing (i.e., no type checks) side of things for so long that static checking lags behind in usability (Rust is on a good way to improve things, though).

Regarding first-class grammars you have to understand that it basically prohibits any other tool to parse your language. This means everyone has to fully implement the language to create any kind of small helper tool. In turn, your language might easily fall into the "exotic" camp (like, e.g., TeX - this language effectively has first-class grammars, albeit at a low level).
For the record, Windows itself defaults to Bitlocker on, irregardless of OEM defaults, as long as the hardware has a TPM and modern standby.
Certainly not typical by any means. Has there been a case in modern business history when someone shot themselves in the foot this brazenly to the tune for $40bn?

Usually it's failed hedge funds operating in the shadows that manage to lose this much in a rapid market downturn.
Short unambiguous answer is yes. However, the destination doesn’t have to be limited to stock/bond markets. Think property, gold or toilet paper rolls. Last one is a joke.

It’s hard to accurately measure investments flowing into property (what part of the world?). There are many variables to consider and I don’t think there’s a single trend that will end up as a winner. My hypothesis is that we will see many (eg. very wealthy doing X in Y country/city, middle class doing A in B country/city, etc).

VB6 was a gem. To a young me who was starting out programming, there was nothing more empowering than dragging a bunch of different buttons, resizing them with mouse, fiddling with their labels and creating a calculator within half an hour. I crave for a similar dev experience but no language today seem to possess that simplicity. Today, it's all container widgets of different kinds that I have no idea how to use.

Well yes, in addition to being cut off from resources, you're generally asked to clean out your desk and enjoy your vacation. Some places will immediately escort you from the building.

Its true. You only think with 10% of your brain. The other 90% are gilial support structure cells. They can't even be used for thinking!
You can do this in Rust. Just put a namespace tagged as I think #[cfg(test)] or the like and they can live in the same file but won't be compiled into the non-test binary.

Yes, I read savings not salary.

I still disagree, there’s so much in income/other taxes that are applied. They spend on exorbitant rents and overpriced goods. Most such people are not frugal by any stretch.

If you could link any survey/study/statistics on the number of such 600k saving individuals, I’d love to see it. Until then, it’s a strawman.

Bad wording on my part but there's a lot of israeli companies i have never heard of on top of THAT MANY i have.

There's prominent israeli startups and unicorns you usually know about like Wix or some old ones like (ICQ/Mirabilis) and then there's a myriad of small ones you stumble upon because they are in your domain area like logz.io.

But then you hear about a company with like 1k employees and you are like...wth.
Of course it wasn't, because it's obvious you won't be convinced.

None of this was about intent. You projected that in. I can tell when someone didn't read the email.

It's about people who didn't read the email.

But you won't accept that I regularly have and correctly understand the experience. You're determined to take an internet stranger's personal anecdotal experience and read it as something that must be false if it isn't globally true.
It's the performance. It's basically Webpack but fast (sub-second rather than multi-second compiles). There's a number of projects competing in this area, and it might be a bit early to call a winner, ut it's looking like it's most likely going to be Vite.
It's still a WIP. The new taro protocol that leverages Bitcoin taproot and Lightning can help address some scaling issues.

There's a third reason why the DR/IBM deal didn't work out: CP-M/86 was extremely delayed. The reason why SCP QDOS even existed was that SCP had an S-100 machine with an 8086 in it and there was no OS that could run it.

Microsoft wasn't necessarily a "small company with nothing to lose", either. They had the best BASIC interpreter in the business[0] and everyone licensed from them already.

> The REST standard

There is no such thing as a "REST standard" and that's why we've been having all these pointless arguments for the last 15 years. If Fielding really wanted web developers to use REST he would have wrote a normative spec about REST.

Seems to me that REST was never about developers writing web API. The whole "smart client" capable of API discovery through "hyperlinks" is... a browser with a user clicking on those links. Except that API aren't consumed by browsers but other apps that are neither as smart nor complex.
You're not making an argument here, you're just saying "percentages bad, absolute value good". The only argument you're making is that using percentages "hides" the negatives USD, but the reverse of that is equally true (absolute values hides the problems w/ cryptocurrency).

My argument is that the net impact of USD is positive, while the net impact of cryptocurrency is negative.
