It's amusing that you're presenting Alma as the veterans, seeing as how several founding members of Rocky were responsible for starting CentOS in the first place.

But you're right, they're both RHEL clones, so it's only worth differentiating based on externalities. Rocky is backed by industry veterans and part of the 9.0 delay was so they could dogfood Peridot. Alma is backed by a web company who spent the majority of the past couple years Valley-washing their Russian origins. A while back I watched their CEO beg their executive team to cut ties with Russian media sites. Rockey had a community governance model first, they had a distro-dedicated SecureBoot solution first (Alma 'borrowed' CloudLinux's), and so forth. If your metric is 'get package releases to my AWS fleet first' then Alma is winning. For all the rest of the provisioning and longevity issues, Rocky is the winner. It's all a matter of priorities.
> Naively, any rent is more than zero rent, so why let a unit sit empty?

There's a substantial cost in having a renter living there, both in dollars and risk. So if the rent isn't enough to cover those, it's cheaper to let it sit unused.
I think it is strongly likely that Copilot will be 1 million times better by the end of the decade. Increasing compute, new techniques, etc

The top comment on this post is complaining about a bug in Copilot generated code. 1 million times better Copilot won't do that.
That's a really good point. I think there's a high chance that the photos were taken from quite different locations because Hubble orbits the earth at 570km, whereas JWST is actually at the L2 Lagrangian point, which is about 1.5 million km away from Earth.
I appreciate your candor, but what makes this "gross and unethical" exactly? RedHat itself makes money by charging for support on work made by thousands of other coders outside the company (i.e. Linus et al). It's hypocritical if you ask me.
SpiceDB does fully support all consistency described in the Zanzibar paper[0] and even allows the requests to specify consistency on the fly[1]. We've designed around this from the start because it'd be very difficult to add after the fact. We also built a CI pipeline that leverages ChaosMesh[2] to test for the New Enemy Problem.

More from Good Strategy, Bad Strategy:

> the kernel of a good strategy contains three elements: a diagnosis, a guiding policy, and coherent action.

A clear diagnosis is hard. It can take hours or even days of iterating on a single sentence and seeking feedback and continuing to iterate before you've accurate diagnosed the problem and found a way to clearly communicate it. Strategy is hard because taking days to write a single sentence just _feels_ like a waste. But if that single sentence makes it so dozens of people better understand what you are doing it is 100% worth it.
It also took the C++ community about 10 years to realize that the way iostreams was doing operator overloading to do pipelining was an abomination as well.

In the D community, we also strongly discourage operator overloading for any purpose other than creating arithmetic types.

As someone who had recently started going the other direction, from C and C-based languages to those more influenced by lisp, it took a bit of getting used to but I’ve grown to appreciate the expressiveness and composability. The only thing I can think of that statements allow, but as I understand it pure expressions don’t, would be early returns. The closest replacement I’ve seen is to just make “return” raise an exception and wrap the whole expression with the try/catch equivalent, which isn’t terrible but was a bit surprising coming from a C-based background where returning early is a fairly common pattern.
I've only ever heard the claim made in reference to other large cities, not suburban, rural, or exurban parts of the country.

This reads like a long rant about having a case of buyer's remorse. That said, I can understand his frustrations with a device like the Freewrite.
The problem is a LOT of developers are starting to second guess using Unity which means no seat licenses and likely not using their ad network for in game monetization on mobile games.

Will people stick by that or will they try something like Godot, not like it instantly, and jump ship back despite their concerns? Only time will tell, but the concern seems pretty widespread in the gamedev community.
How to Choose Right Surface Treatment for Your Fasteners
Why would you need a bad actor introducing a bug when Copilot already generates code that is indistinguishable from buggy (and possible backdoored) stuff? It scraped random stuff on Github and was trained on it, nobody knows what the quality or content of that training set was.
That technology does not get better linear and some problems are extremely hard and maybe not completely solveable.

Like „self driving cars“ and how they are marketed by especially one company: Tesla

Even if you record every road with cameras in the world, a computer will make mistakes without radar or lidar, because he can not understand certain things without depth data.
> If you're doing high-end 3D stuff, Godot 3.x will probably disappoint you anyway

Maybe 3.x, but I've seen/read some exciting stuff about 4.0's graphics engine
The point isn't that people don't want to pay money up front, it's a decision being made by developers to churn out endless f2p games over games that gamers would glady pay up front for, and since everyone else is doing it and one or two people make a lot of money in it, a bunch of people who chase shiny try to chase shiny, just like others chased after crypto and other gimmicks.

All the while, the already paying customer base is frustrated.

IANAL but similarly if someone steals your bicycle/car/camera while you’re not using it and then brings it back in pristine condition, what damages would you claim?

It’s more like “this is my property, I make it available to public under some conditions, this guy violates that condition”.

That said, the reality is that property owners and adjacent people often benefits from property being featured in a viral video. Unless US adopts similar restrictions as South Korea on photographing strangers, I guess these cases will keep happening.

I have a confession to make. I installed lots of adware back in the 2000s. It was good money, got paid around $4~6 USD per toolbar installs that I bundled with my free software I made.

It really felt like I was printing money. Whenever I needed to pay tuition I would just work for like 8~10 hours and the next month a check arrived that paid all of my costs as a student.

Looking back it wasn't the best but neither was being forced to pay a few thousand dollars every semester to buy the same textbook but with an updated cover and table of contents so they can call it the 18th edition.

For a corporation that is trading publicly to do this, I have to wonder who is running it and whether they have its best interest.

I see many indie developers starting to ditch Unity and opting for Godot or other game engines. This is unlikely to impact Unreal Engine, as it very much is aimed at a different demographic (namely studios with at least 5 FTE)
Blender was already a well-developed product before it was bought collectively (crowdsourced) and made a Free Software project.
I seem to recall an 'SSD firmware update' was required for a number of SSDs from different manufactures,

some failed after x hours, and some after x stored data.

As much as I'd like to use Godot, there are two features missing that I really don't think I could do without:

- Asset store. I totally get it, handling payments, curating, etc. are a huge task... but man, I'm a coder, and I don't have the funds to pay an artist or a musician full time. Being able to just go buy a pack of trees for $20 or something is a huge timer saver.

- Animation re-targeting. It seems like there's a 3rd party plugin for this but it also seems like it hasn't been updated in a year. In unity I can buy a big pack of animations for pretty cheap and reuse it on almost all my humanoid characters. That's huge. I think this can be done in Blender or Maya, but it's so seamless in the engine compared to using a 3rd party tool.
Bookmarked. Thanks OP!
You can't have cost effective when the code doesn't work because it has been generated by a monkey that doesn't understand neither the logic nor the requirements.

That the monkey is actually a computer and not an actual banana eating primate doesn't change anything there.

Any business fool that tries this will discover this very quickly - that's like claiming we don't need drivers because we have cruise control in our cars! It is not perfect but it is cost effective/works (some of the time ...)!

I've been using Godot for hobby projects on-and-off for a while now, and overall I vastly prefer it to Unity. The scene hierarchy of Godot is a better mental model (for me) than the GameObject/MonoBehavior ever was.

That said, I have a _few_ items that I think are absolute showstoppers for solo-dev side projects.

1. The asset pipeline is simply not as clean as Unity's. The ability to drop a .blend file in the project in Unity is so underrated. In Godot FBX imports are unreliable, texture imports misbehave frequently, and rigging goes wrong even in the recommended file formats. There's a lot less clarity around the path to getting real assets in game, which can be a major pain point for solo devs.

2. Along the same lines, there is no equivalent of Unity's mecanim. With Unity, if you can model and rig a character in Blender, you can pull free mocap or other animations from the asset store and get to work. In Godot you're still best off authoring your own animations for each character. This drastically increases the amount of time spent making assets.

3. Godot is in a weird spot version wise for anyone who wants to use C#; the beta version of 4.0 is rapidly approaching, and guarantees to break any project you start in 3.x --- but 4.0 still doesn't come built with C# support. Hopefully this gets resolved soon.

I knew someone who added an accent character to their name because everyone pronounced it wrong. She met someone bilingual who shot back that if she wants it pronounced that way she needs to add an aigue. So she did, and everyone still pronounced her name wrong.

In fact going any place with her very nearly became an “are we living in a simulation” crisis for me because the number of times she would say her name and the other person would say it back incorrectly was… upsetting. The degree to which some people butchered her name, especially combining half of her first and last name into a completely different name, made us joke about buggy NPCs.

I could imagine how in some cultures writing it incorrectly hurts as much as pronouncing it incorrectly. Or possibly moreso in places where multiple plausible pronunciations have to be negotiated via an introduction, which is the case in China, is it not?
>A decent speedrun of Pokemon is only a couple of hours long at the most. I don't think any skilled RPG player would call any decent run of Pokemon (of any game) a "Grind".

I'll articulate what I mean, since it hasn't come across. The problem isn't with grinding itself. It's with the things associated with grinding.

Grinding itself can be immensely fun and satisfying. Doing the same repetitive, thoughtless actions to advance the game, not that fun for most. I can sink hours into Monster Hunter grinding because I'm still put on my toes with most endgame monsters. It does get annoying, but it gets annoying way later (and for different reasons, mostly).

Pokemon? Let's set aside speedrunning, since that implies I already have a strategy prior to even booting the game. You'll go through various non-random battles with trainers which have Pokemon with no random moveset whatsoever. They all have the same algorithm-determined moveset or some inferior version of it. Most of the time, they play out the exact same way they do at the current point as they did 10 levels ago. Most of these battles aren't mentally challenging past first occurrence, they just drag the game out. The clear exceptions are trainers with Pokemon you've never seen, and story-relevant trainers (hopefully not for the former reason, but for having unique movesets / themes). Remove all those trainers, and you could probably cut the level curve in half along with the playtime.

You either care enough about that padding to dump the game over it, you bite through it despite the padding, or you like the padding. But it's the same thing as grinding: it's padding. It isn't inherently necessary beyond ensuring players have garnered some experience with the battle system before giving them a larger challenge. And even there, it's entirely up to the designers to ensure previous challenges match the current state.

I think the issue with getting a release is it shields you from litigation. It doesn't necessarily mean you'd lose the litigation if you didn't get the release, but a business is not going to want to take the risk they'd have litigation hanging over their head preventing the exploitation of the intellectual property asset.

absolutely, I saw that quite a bit as well. I was really glad to see Red Hat change their policy so that non-prod machines are free now. That makes it a lot more affordable for people doing CI/CD with staging and dev environments. The old model disincentivized good practices.
I'd say it's a two-sided sword. There's no question RH employs/founds large parts of Linux development, with only Suse being remotely as involved (maybe historically). OTOH, RH has pushed "innovations" such as systemd purely in their own interest, fragmenting a once-strong and user-centric F/OSS Unix community also including the BSDs into a Linux-only cloud slavedom. Plus, it was IBM/RH who cancelled the CentOS roadmap (after having bought-out the CentOS project and community); they can't now expect to be treated as trusted bona-fide Linux steward or something.

Yeah, except in the early days Unity wasn’t really a production ready game engine. Very few games would release on unity and fewer made money. Unity’s profit model had generally been users who wanted to make games enough to buy a license, but there were few incentives for Unity to make a game engine good for Shipping games.

Unity has always had a pretty predatory business model. And has basically never made money from successfully shipping games.

> A 300W-solar power farm would require 1.5 million solar panels and cost approximately $300 million, provided the 1,500- to-1,800 acres of land needed was free and the sun shone steadily,

It's worse than that. Let's say you get 12 hours of steady sunshine every day.

What to do the other 12 hours? For that you'll need storage.

Therefore, you will need to double the capacity of the solar array so that during that 12 hours you can both store power and deliver power to people who need it.

But then no power store is 100% efficient, so you'll also need to add more panels for that.

But then you're never going to get 12 hours of steady power every day. You're going to have to increase storage and panels to account for that too.

Sure, but, frankly? That is a form of psychopathy.

Please don't take that offensively. I'm not throwing the word around. I don't mean "evil". I don't think it's "evil", I'm even jealous. Not just of money. Of the rationality.

The rest of us don't do this stuff because we'd feel horribly bad for doing it, to the point benefits would outweigh the costs.

I'd hazard a guess that most people would also say it was fine given a sufficient trolley problem set up "is it okay to take 3 jobs and not do the work I can't be held accountable towards given...I have a trust fund...versus...my kids wont have food"
It's a bit of a non-sequitur, but a charitable reading is that he's saying Frank Stephenson can do this with cars, and maybe Lucas Pope and Jon Blow can do it with games, but most indie devs aren't generational talents, so they should spend some time thinking about how they might convince the public to buy their game.

My assumption is that if you're in the meeting, it has some adjacency to your work. This isn't about calling on the daydreaming kid in high school Spanish class who _has_ to be there to graduate. If you're in the meeting, it should be applicable to you and you should be ready to give some input; even saying something like "I'm not sure, need more info", or "don't have anything to add" is a valid and acceptable answer.

If the meeting isn't germane to your work, why are you in it?

I know people who do this because they're genuinely trying to get input from a broad set of people, some of whom will never speak unless they're asked directly. It doesn't have to be a mark of an alpha trying to beta everyone else.

For some reason no one wants to blame a lack of education, poverty or a lack of opportunity on crime (per your above statement). Everyone wants to get into these weird, esoteric arguments about what might have cause the crime rates that aren't germane to the actual, easily identifiable problems... most likely so no one has to try and solve those issues.

“Boring” explanation from the dig manual page:

Off-topic: I got excited when I saw the nicely coloured output from dig which makes it more readable. I thought that maybe the author has some new version that’s not yet available on Ubuntu LTS. Unfortunately, the nice colours are from judicious use of highlight.js¹ – one good reason to have uMatrix configured to allow first-party JavaScript!

I switched to Unreal after using Unity for many years, both at my day jobs and as an indie. If I had known what it is actually like to work in Unreal, rather than how the grapevine vaguely typecasts it, I would have switched a long time ago, or more likely never used Unity in the first place. Unreal is a delight.

It's unfortunate that Epic ever let Unity persuade people that it's better suited to anything or anyone at all.
