I recently switched almost entirely from Unity to Godot 4.0 (not a career game dev, I just make small/indie/itch.io type stuff) and I've been absolutely loving it. It's such a breath of fresh air. It's light, fast, easy to learn, and can do 90% of what you need as a solo/indie type developer.

The only thing stopping me from swapping over entirely and giving up Unity for good is the bug that means games take forever to load on itch.io if the user has MacOS (long enough that they think it's broken and close the tab). A majority of the games I make are educational and/or targeted at kids who are using iPads or MacBooks, and being able to link them to itch.io is a LOT easier than teaching them (and convincing the device owner) to install the game locally.

They say they're working on it (quoted below), but until then I'm pretty much stuck using Unity for a few projects still. If/when they fix this, I think Godot could really take off for the itch.io/gamejam/etc type crowd.

> As of 4.1 web exports still have some limitations due to poor vendor support of certain modern features. Browsers with bad WebGL 2 support, such as Chrome on macOS, unfortunately suffer from issues which we cannot address without a fix from Google or a significant amount of effort put into supporting a dedicated WebGL 1 / GLES2 renderer.

> We are also aware of the complexity setting up web games on hosting platforms which don’t let you set the required CORS headers for SharedArrayBuffer support. This mostly depends on Safari implementing the coep:credentialless header support, while Chromium-based browsers and Firefox already work fine (especially if you publish on itch.io). There is a possible workaround that we are investigating.

In this case the number of open issues is a good indicator of usage. Well done Godot!
It might sound counterintuitive but cars reduce inequality. Drastically increasing people's shopping radius they decrease premium on the prime-location commercial real estate and business located there, thus letting more business make money more equally.
The smart thing to do isn't to remove it; They should charge for adversarial features.

Pay your fee, you get not only an attention boost, but the ability to un-boost blues. If the net result is 0, the Nash Equilibrium is that everybody pays.

Look how many people "#BlockTheBlue" on twitter right now. Just charge them to make it easy. The real value in someone who's willing to pay to be seen isn't in their 8$ subscription, it's in the 100 other people they incentivize to pay you to shut them up.

+1 they told me I could only unban by adding a mobile number, which I have no interest in giving them. It's fine! Certainly not a service I'd rely on.
Oh, that's definitely true.

To me the issue is they assuming everyone around them is like this. I'm totally fine with lack of experience or knowledge, but a co-worker constantly underestimating their peers is not alright.
It's just interesting. There's nothing wrong with telling people that committing a crime will turn out badly for them. Matt Levine often does the same with insider trading. You're being overly literal.
We're normalized to eating meat and there's a lot of subtle social pressure to not "rock the boat" on things that are widely considered normal and acceptable.

I have a lot of sympathy for individuals trying to reconcile these flashes from their conscience with "normal" social behavior, and struggling through the cognitive dissonance that results from it.

I have very little for just taking open glee in the emotional distress people experience while going through that process? Or calming your own dissonance by nihilistically avoiding the question? Better a late and compromised enlightenment then a proudly never one.

I think the reddit post missed the point multiple times. Laravel does not use the best principles everywhere, yes. Taylor Otwell is a (very) strange person, yes. But "Laravel should be considered harmful for the PHP community" is just wrong.

Laravel was the first framework, that "just worked" and had everything, you need to make your first steps in a web application. Nowadays, people write PHP components that are usable in Laravel and that means a lot of code out there is compatible to a lot of other code. That alone did a lot to the PHP community. 2010 or so, the PHP landscape was much more scattered and things didn't look good.

Since then a lot happened and Laravel carries old stuff with it, and I'm very happy about that! I'd hate to be forced to do big refactoring work on every update of the framework. As strange as some decisions in Laravel are, they try new things, and they also try to stay compatible to the old stuff. Between Laravel 5.5 (released 2017) and 10 there were not much breaking changes. For a framework, this is a big plus.
And yet somehow, people remake these games unironically.

It's just a useful ubiquitous app. You can use the features you like. I don't see what the point of taking such an absolutist stance decrying the app as evil. Im just trying to raise a few kids, go to some parties and sell some junk around the house

It means that you can verify the transactions on the network yourself and don't have to rely on any 3rd party to tell you whether a transaction is valid.

Wait --- so all this stuff I read about not trusting fiat was just wrong? Seems like a lot of crypto bros are confused too.

Sure, centralized exchanges can manipulate token prices, but the price can only be manipulated in the short term

You mean like when the price of Bitcoin shoots up to $60K before it falls back to $20K --- and then the cycle starts all over again?

Who could possibly object to that? After all, it's only short term. What's a little manipulation among friends?
Yeah some people use Godot as a GUI framework
> I can't email notes into Obsidian. Obsidian doesn't have a web clipper, note reminders, markup tools. I mean sure, I could cover some of that with plug-ins, but at a certain point things become inconvenient.

I don’t care about any of those features. I care about capturing and organizing ideas that are almost always text.

It’s cool you like EN but I think that market is much smaller and EN was just reaching for super edge cases to please a few users and trying to get “regular” users to pay as well.
It was only a matter of time.

Great software in the early 2010s, when it had no good competitors. But with the software quality decline, dubious decisions by the last 2 CEOs, and intense competition, it was bound to die when interest rates rose.

I recommend downloading a copy of your account data immediately.

Notion has an easy Evernote importer. Obsidian import is much more convoluted, but can be done. Or you can probably download your notes as .enex and import them into the old Evernote client to use offline.

Oh, that is great to hear! Thank you!

I only learned the term a few years ago, while working at SUSE, and it fits a need I wasn't aware I had.

"The German-speaking world" is awfully long and yet remains imprecise:

* Are we talking about countries where there are some German speaking people? No -- that's probably every country.

* Are we referring to countries where there's a resident German-speaking minority? No. The USA has the Amish who speak "Pennsylvania Dutch" (among other minorities there among whom old folks speak Germanic languages) and that isn't Dutch at all but a Low Germanic dialect -- or a family of them.

Then there are the Volga Germans: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volga_Germans -- hundreds of thousands of German speakers around the former USSR.

* Are we talking about countries where German is the majority language then, like Anglosphere in English? The Teutonosphere?

* Oh, but hang on, then shouldn't the term be in German?

* Ah, but hang on, I do know a little German, and German speakers love coining new words by ramming existing words together, so it's probably been invented a dozen times. The Deutchsprachigewelt or something.

* Uhoh... maybe there is such a word but non-German speakers don't know it because they don't understand it, or they can't say it?

* And anyway, whose German then? Hochdeutsch or Schweitscherduutsch or Bayerisch or Swabish?

So I looked, and there is, and it's short and easy, and it cuts through the difficulty of two of the countries having different forms of German and the third having a really weird form of German but anyway it's not the standard language it's just one of four...

It's in German and English and Latin! Cool!

When you are in a physical space, you can look around you and somewhat reliably observe who can see you, hear you, and observe your actions. You've always then had the choice to base your actions and your speech on who will observe them, with the further knowledge that they might go on to share this with others.

The difference isn't that what you do now can be shared. It's the ease of sharing and the fidelity with which it can be shared.

For the first few years I could ignore the subscription because I didn’t want those features. Then they eventually made the subscription required for really basic things, so I left Evernote.
I mean, if they want to turn Twitter into SomethingAwful, that would be a good route.

Honestly at this point it's in such a bad state that it would be worth considering; a gamified war might be better than just every high-traffic tweet having hundreds of nonsense bluetick comments before you get to the real comments. It'd at least be more interesting; the bluetick content is usually just very dull, and tends to bring to mind the writing style of those wannabe-influencer posts you see on LinkedIn. (I think a lot of people paying for it are doing so because they want to be... a Twitter influencer? Are there even Twitter influencers, beyond dril?)

Probably not a _great_ way to build a sustainable business, though.

Are Evernote files just plain "text files"?
Expanding on this, Godot has its own 2D widget framework that's fairly straightforward to use, though it doesn't use native widgets.

Note that the Godot editor itself is written in the widget framework, so you can get a sense for how well it works just by opening Godot and clicking around.
The ideal “knowledge base” app I’ve been searching for is as follows:

- Self-hosted
- Attractive web client that loads very quickly and works well on mobile
- Can point it at a nested directory of text/markdown and image/pdf files (no sql database)
- Text files are editable in place (no “edit” button, etc.)
- Markdown displays in a plain-text view (no hidden formatting characters, no “rich text” editor)

Every app I’ve tried misses at least of these. The closest I’ve found, strangely, is vscode-server, which is just too bloated and mobile-unfriendly to work for me. I’m perpetually a millimeter away from writing my own, but I feel like I need to stop doing that.

Does this app exist?

Not the same features, worse features. They intentionally abandoned Evernote Classic that was like 3 time faster, not clattered, practically without ads, and with more-more features. I will happily pay Evernote some reasonable price if my experience will be better, not worse..
Joplin is a gem of open source, and I use it daily on all of my machines. I'm so grateful to have a good FOSS notes app that syncs cross platform. I've been a patron for years and recommended it to lots of people.

If anyone has questions about how I use it or my workflow I'm happy to shill this app more, lol.

I know Obsidian is the cool kid right now but I just absolutely can't imagine using a closed source app for something as personal and important as my notes.

Since the dev is hanging out in this thread, I will say that I'd absolutely love me some vim keybindings though.

Age is not a rank. If people younger than you are better at delivering value than you then they should be above you, and rightfully so.

Moreso if they outwork you.

You should get with the program and work on being at peace that other people around you can and often are better than you at something.

If you're hoping to become a manager so that you can abuse your position to keep others down, you definitely are not cut out to be a manager.
>What is the argument for that in general again?

Free-market types used to have some assumptions about how free markets are expected to work, then they would derive the result that a free market yields a net benefit to society from those assumptions.

Now it is glaringly obvious that a free market can cause a net loss to society, but they still need to believe free markets are good. So they ignore the evidence, and instead of deriving the result from assumptions, they treat it as an axiom instead.

Is there any breakdown of private vs government funding for general purpose academic research. I was under the impression that most of the funds in field like ML come from fees from undergrads and donations by alumnus, or by private companies.
Yep, unhealthy interest in personal status rather than in the health and success of the team.

Which would make for a terrible manager.

I'm a couple years away from 50, and "stuck as a developer" and it's fine, and having "young people above me" is no concern. They're team-mates and sometimes friends.

If I eventally make the switch to management, it would be because I got less interested sofware systems and more in team systems.

!(manager > engineer). Just different.
