Indeed. People think of Unity as a game engine and it's really not. Unity is a service provider, whose major services is the asset store, analytics, ad platform, and so forth. The game engine and editor is just the hook. Most long-term Unity developers have a toolkit of assets that massively overhaul the engine, anyhow; and Unity leans into that.

Godot is an interesting engine and editor, but that's not enough to make me switch. Show me the ecosystem of services and tools that surround it, and how _utterly trivial_ they are to access, and I might consider switching.

Did you choose "No destructors" because of their effect on static analysis? -- Why are they an anti feature?
>Love of ones fellow man

Hmm interesting. I wonder is love really a motivator? It's more of a reason, right? "I give charity because I love my fellow man". I feel like that's not inclusive.

Like what about people who don't love their fellow man all that much? I mean is that even allowed?-- If I'm a Christian do I have to love my fellow man to the point of charity? What if I call myself Christian but I think most people are rude and selfish and have a hard time loving them.. does that make me not Christian? I'm sure there are people who are Christian and have a hard time loving humanity, seems like they would be not included. I suppose the reward aspect still applies so it makes sense for everyone.

I like the idea, it's very philosophically pure. But I'm surprised it actually works in real life. It seems to me like that would encompass only a minority. Maybe that's more a reflection of the times we're in than anything else. Hope you don't mind the probing questions-- I'm not trying to poke holes in these beliefs I'm just trying to understand them completely

Sorry but the elitism of openBSD is something that is a huge red flag for me. It is the person who is confident they know it all that is the most dangerous especially when they are the most skilled. Arrogance is something to ne ashamed of but also very dangerous and humility is something to be valued (but also a most redeeming feature).

I can't speak for the specifics of using a Nest, but pre-cooling a house earlier in the day is definitely a more efficient use of power.

Earlier in the year in Australia when day time temperatures were 35°C-40°C (95°F-104°F), waiting until midday to turn on the AC would mean using another 10 kwh more than if the AC was turned on at 9am.

Granted, this is an new Australian house which means it's built to standards about 30 years behind what you would expect for a first world country.

I'm very much a hobbyist gamedev, mostly doing small personal projects or game jams when I have the time.

I switched from Unity to Godot in 2016 when 2.0 came out and I haven't looked back since. I find Godot fits so nicely with how I like to make things compared to Unity or Unreal. It has that comfy feeling like Aesprite, sxfr, and bosca ceoil where the tool itself has an artistic expression.

I agree with most downsides that people have in regards to Godot, lacking asset store, lacking in the amount of tutorials compared to other engine, lacking in completed titles at scale, etc.

However for my purposes I've never found these to be a deal breaker, and if anything I prefer being part of the smaller community that Godot has - it feels more grassroots and aligned with my personal values.
Well, that's something I'm fairly good at. A quick shufti at my writing will settle that.

I wholly agree it’s important to contextualize formal methods — and particularly in terms of levels of rigor. Typing your program is already basic formal methods, and we do ourselves a disservice by using language which places proofs outside the realm of typing, testing, etc.

I think the “middle ground” between things like typing and things like fully specified programs are things like CDK apps which hook IAM policy or network reachability tools to analyze your infrastructure (and, eg, exclude open ports on the backend).

Which is slowly happening, eg AWS or Prime Video.

Thanks a ton for trying out! I get >100 MB/s between my M1 and Windows machine (with significantly worse specs than yours) so this was a cold shower. Can I ask:

- Did you transfer a large e.g. a large directory (I haven't optimized for large amount of files) or just a single file? If so, was that file large enough to let the speed ramp up?

- Did you happen to notice high CPU or memory usage during the transfer? Expected memory usage of payload-agent.exe is ~7-20 Mb. CPU can sometimes be a bottleneck if Payload decides to use Quic (but it should prefer TLS/TCP under normal conditions and 40 MB/s is still too slow).

He's saying that you have two air conditioners: one that vents heat inside your house and one that vents heat outside your house.

Your dehumidifier and your air conditioner are mechanically identical. The only difference between the two is where the waste heat goes. The exact same device is called a 'dehumidifier' if the waste heat is vented indoors and an 'air conditioner' if the waste heat is vented outside.

There's not really any efficiency gains from running a dehumidifier to reduce air conditioner use. They both use the same power and have the same effect on the absolute humidity, so you might as well just run the air conditioner (unless you want it to be warmer).

Destructors, exception handling, and the type system are all tied together, so I'm not sure where to begin explaining. These two sections in the rationale provide a complete explanation:

https://austral.github.io/spec/rationale-linear-types

https://austral.github.io/spec/rationale-error-handling

But basically: there are no destructors because there is no exception handling, and therefore no stack unwinding. The reason there's no exception handling is that the semantics (and implementation) of exception handling are incredibly complicated, and they make the code harder to reason about.

A design goal in Austral is "no hidden control flow". If it's not on the source code, it isn't happening.

Linear types are also not compatible with exception handling (which is why Rust uses affine types, sort of).

In place of destructors you have functions that consume linear values. These are ordinary functions and have to be called explicitly, calls to them are not inserted by the compiler.

For example, imagine that File is a linear type that holds a file handle. You might have something like:

let f: File := openFile("foo.txt");
-- code etc etc.
closeFile(f);

Here, closeFile is a "destructor" in the sense that it takes a value of a linear type and returns nothing. It's not a destructor in the C++ sense because the call is not inserted for you at the end of a block or during stack unwinding.
Makes sense. Apple, Google, Amazon, etc seem to have their own video and movies services and Netflix is essentially a feature that is unable to compete with the likes of the competition as Amazon Prime Video is already catching up to Netflix's market share:

"Netflix lost 2% in streaming video market share in the U.S. in Q2, according to JustWatch, and now accounts for 21% of the domestic streaming market. Amazon gained 1% during the same quarter, reaching a market share of 20%." [0]

So as you can see, Netflix is declining and if this continues it could likely be Microsoft® Netflix® soon if they are still are unable to improve their numbers, alongside with fierce competition with Apple TV, Disney+, YouTube, HBO, Hulu, etc.

I'd say that it wasn't the epistemology that was flawed, but the studies. (Though, ok, arguably it was a flaw in the epistemology that it didn't allow for flaws in the studies.) But the more interesting question is how the initial studies could have been so flawed. At any rate, those results were not replicated, and science marches on.
I've never understood why browser fingerprinting is so easy. Your browser gives up so much information and it seems entirely unnecessary for it to be providing such unique values.

Just to nail down what people around here define as eugenics: Is Dor Yeshorim eugenicist?

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

> Dor Yeshorim (Hebrew: דור ישרים) also called Committee for Prevention of Jewish Genetic Diseases, is a nonprofit organization that offers genetic screening to members of the Jewish community worldwide. Its objective is to minimize, and eventually eliminate, the incidence of genetic disorders common to Jewish people, such as Tay–Sachs disease. Dor Yeshorim is based in Brooklyn, New York, but has offices in Israel and various other countries.

[snip]

> In both the Ashkenazi and Sephardi Jewish communities, there is an increased rate of a number of genetic disorders such as Tay–Sachs disease, an autosomal recessive disorder that goes unnoticed in carriers, but is fatal within the first few years of life in almost all homozygotes. (The exception is the rare adult-onset Tay–Sachs, which is normally not fatal but is incapacitating.)

[snip]

> Dor Yeshorim screens only for recessive traits that give rise to lethal or severely debilitating disorders, providing prophylactic, rather than diagnostic services. They do not screen for disorders arising from dominant gene mutations, as these cannot be prevented by informed mate selection. Only conditions which can be reliably reported as a positive or negative genetic match are tested.[8]

In short, they're trying to use selective breeding to remove certain genetic traits from the population.

Linear types are interesting, however I don't buy "Rust: The Good Parts".

In particular type inference (Rust has this, Austral does not) is a real quality of life improvement. If there's only one possible type X could be, what value is produced by insisting that I figure out how to spell that type to talk about X? This feels unimportant when X's type is an integer, but when it's an array of functions which return other functions that take an array of functions and return an integer, figuring out how to write what I'm doing is tiresome. The compiler knows, and I know, don't waste my time.

I presume that providing inference interferes with the ambition to have a small specification, because offering inference means either different implementations could have different inference rules, or else, those rules must be set out in full in the specification. However the quality of life improvement is real.
I mostly agree, but when I begin to game theory it out* in my own head, I still think it's something worth reforming, not abolishing.

*for the internet, it would simply transfer literally all the power to the youtubes and spotifys.

That’s what you’re not understanding. “GWh of storage” is a unit. It’s not an SI unit, but it is a unit, i.e. a thing you can use to measure something. The production of this factory is being measured in this storage unit. Watt is also a unit, a unit to measure power. There is no way to convert a unit of power to this unit of storage.

Hot reloading’s quality (and to a degree, security) depends mostly on how fine-grained a change can be. The reason Lisp-REPl workloads are so well loved is that very small scopes can be changed easily, Erlang also has a sane encapsulation that can be swapped without much fuss.
How about a Lisp that can parse the hardware specification of a chip and produce its own compiler?
MonoGame gets around it by having core team members that grant access to private trees for approved developers. It's not open source, but it's available.
That is a good point about simple plans, I imagine it certainly applies to any challenge that plays out quickly in real-time.

Even when it is not so, coordinating people to execute a plan is also hard, and predictions become much less reliable with over-complicated models of reality. Simplicity is definitely an important factor.

> The OpenBSD way is to do things that could be abused later early and then drop privs to prevent abuse.

That is the approach if you can't regain privileges. In the OpenBSD way it is literally the opposite of waht you propose.

> How is some program going to know what other programs you use will need?

It doesn't? Same issue on linux/openbsd in that regard, with some aspects a bit different due to libc.

> How is the dynamic linker of the later program supposed to deal?

It obviously doesn't, again, same thing on Linux and OpenBSD. It also won't help you to be able to regain privileges via exec if the issue is a shared library.

Allowing for privileges to not propagate is a cool feature that allows you to shell out to a binary that you can't write to (otherwise it's pointless) and have that binary manage its own permissions. That's sometimes important, and Apparmor supports that sort of thing (with child profiles).

But it's also a big footgun that can easily allow a full sandbox bypass.

You can implement the child profile concept easily enough with a privileged broker anyway.
