Your comment worries me. I'm making games that usually rely heavily on multithreading and I'm looking at using Godot for my next game.

> Just get what tastes good to you and forget about Tue noise

when I got into whiskey-tasting, I noticed that really cheap stuff (<20€ per bottle) always tastes bad, and average priced whisky (~50€) usually tastes good, and even comes with a lot of variety. If you go beyond that (>200€), you'll get the stuff beyond the taste, like exclusivity.

But here is the thing: whisky drinkers don't hide, that higher price tags don't come from the taste. E.g. Stuff like single casks are explicitly about being exclusive.

For me the fun with whisky tasting comes from exploring the taste, and trying to put it into words. It's less about "tasting good" and more about "trying out a new sense".
> adding more consumer spending via consumer credit would be a negative, not a positive?

In a way yeah. I mean you increase demand for goods/services without an equivalent increase in productivity you just end up with higher prices (of course the idea is that "economic" stimulus still tends to increase productivity somewhat, just by a lower % than the increase in money supply. That generally seems to be fair).
From the article:

"Enshittification [to describe what Unity is doing] refers to companies that create a good product, then ramp up fees and deteriorate the service to take advantage of users who are locked into it."

Let's see, how many App Stores follow suit. Pay per play/install might sound like a wonderful option for some.

I have the exact opposite experience, as a gamer. With random games and custom engines, it's a coin toss whether I could make Wine / Proton work. If it was a Unity game, then it would surely work. Unity games also have very active modding communities, for example see Valheim. I'm not sure about mod friendliness, there are a lot of mods, and applying the mods was straightforward, and they integrated with the game experience nicely.
About 12+ years ago, i "invented" similar RPC-over-couchDB architecture as there wasn't much other distributed ways.

Worked wonders - each user reading/posting requests/responses in own "channel", the channel being replicated to server and any of user's devices, central server responding to requests and eventually cross-polinating the channels if need be.

Did a web client (pouchDB), android (touchDB), ios (forgot the name).. essentially each platform has its own implementation of the relatively simple protocol of Couchdb. So all one does is listen/read/write to a single local db.. and then db is doing all the communication, whenever possible. Simplified the clients sooooo much - reduced work and complexity like 50%.

Eh, the thing didn't go anywhere as product but nevermind :/

It was about Windows 98 that Windows Scripting Host ended up prominent.

WSH btw allowed you to run any language that you had interpreter for - they had to support necessary COM interfaces (and to be truly usable, allow you to call COM objects), and register their interpreter class with ActiveScripting (WSH internal) engine.

Then you could use them not just for desktop automation, but also for scripts inside Internet Explorer (essentially, classic IE used WSH engines to implement scripts, iirc)

I've seen WSH (including HTAs) used with Perl, Python, Tcl, Rexx...so long as you install the interpreter with compatible COM service, you could use it.

Revolut (if it was a real bank would be the 5th/6th biggest in the UK) has failed dozens of times to get a UK banking licence, it is expected that they will be rejected again on their current application. UK ministers (motivated by donations and board seats from Revolut?) continue to put pressure on the regulator to grant the liscence.

Revoluts auditors BDO stated that they were unable to get a complete picture of some of Revolut’s revenue and as a result it, or other financial balances, could be “materially misstated”.

Former holders of UK banking licences include SVB.
It seems to me at the bottom of it is faith. You either trust the science and numbers, believing they've been accurately compiled and that there's no unseen aspects (like "no long term effects", what if our current methods can't see everything?); or you're skeptical - Is it reasonable to be skeptical without grounds? But you can read all the anti-vax blogs and find out about botched vaccinations (not COVID).

And when you start with a basis, you end up with evidence bias, ignoring things that disprove your beliefs ("I bet you they botched that study!"), and accepting (with delight and little scrutiny) things that prove your position to be right.

Of course there are morons who said e.g. "all the vaxed will drop dead ny April 2022".. I wonder if the passage of time have humbled them.. some may even thing somebody's hiding all the dead bodies (which isn't that baseless because as far as I know China did that)

Even if you agree with the overall move, surely you recognise that some of the details — charging developers for users installing the same product multiple times, or even pirating it — are flat-out wrong? Not even just wrong from a moral point of view, but from a "this can't possibly work" one too.

> therefore, if family punishment results in fewer crimes perpetrated on innocent people, there is not a coherent consequentialist argument for family punishment being immoral.

Punishing a criminal's family _is_ perpetrating violence on innocent people; unless family itself is criminal, in which case, you can still investigate each family member.

Unless you deny any individual's own responsibility.

In which case, the issue is not only family, but society as a whole. That's a pretty twisted vicious circle.

There is no effect without side effect in meds. If you don't need a med you should not take it because if it is not beneficial for you, only potential harm remains.

Honest question, how come I can install Steam, Signal, Teams and other "modern" apps on linux without the same issues that Microsoft Windows has?

I know RPMs and DEBs follow a fairly strict patter, in that they keep track of everything installed so it can easily be cleaned up. Why can't Microsoft launch its own set of standards that achieve the same goal?
Choosing installs to collect revenue on is stupid because it isn't tightly correlated to revenue for a game:

Demos, bundles, free week-end tryouts on Steam, free-to-play games and other specific cases all lead to high install counts without necessarily generating the matching sales.

It's especially stupid because Unity has good market share on mobile, which is a juicy market but with a fixed price per install, free-to-play and low-priced (0.99$, etc...) games will never choose Unity for new projects, because the percentage of revenue you will lose on those is going to be prohibitive.

A less worse metric to collect on would be actual game sales count, but that's still horrible for promotional sale events and low-priced games (assuming fixed cost per sale).

The sensible and simpler option would simply be a percentage of revenue past a threshold like Unreal Engine and CryEngine for example.

I see two possible outcomes:

* They stick with this pricing policy, and cash in on the fact that a lot of game studios are heavily invested in Unity at the moment and will take time to move away to extract a shit-ton of money short term in the meantime. Long-term it will probably crash and burn, but they're fine with it as long as they can milk enough before that.

* They wait for the outcry, say they've listened to the community, roll it back and introduce a more sensible royalty system with percentage of revenue, which the community grudgingly accepts since it's less worse than the initial option.

Technically you are right. But only technically.

Like I mentioned, you do not have rights until you have cleared immigration at the port of entry within the US, regardless of visa status.

Also, 9/11 anniversary was couple of days ago, and we all know how the rights of so many Muslims lawfully living in the US were thrown out of the window merely 20 years ago.
It should be noted that, if I understand the situation correctly, the "SVB" with a UK banking licence was a subsidiary, and it was solvent when sold because the parent company went under.

There’s a big risk that it moves in that direction, indeed. But that depends on what kind of tech gains traction. Imo, a great local-first app has a rich client and a dumb server that serves simple functions like relaying, backing up and auth.

The main challenge is social. Once you have true local first, lots of apps have no plausible excuse to store all your private data in plain text. I can already see the disappointed faces of the VCs and other bean counters when they understand this. But for good or bad, that also means that there will be very little money behind these efforts.
I would say it's referring to WiFi on the phone side, rather than the Mac/PC side. Though you can plug an Ethernet adaptor into an iPhone it's very rarely done and so most people would understand they want to sync with their phone over WiFi, as opposed to USB cable.

Apple seems to mostly use Bonjour (mDNS) for these whether using a local network (and indeed that is the case for this wifi sync feature), but they also have a few features/frameworks that can also be setup over an Apple specific "peer to peer wifi" connection which is bootstrapped with bluetooth and switches to peer to peer wifi for fast data transfer, similar but not the same protocol as WiFi direct (according to https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/12885). This is what AirPlay2 does for example. That is one way WiFi could matter for such a feature versus Ethernet.

This wifi sync definitely works with Ethernet on the Mac side (personal experience)

Most of my dev work is in logistics for a very staid industry which doesn't even make this list, that would have a difficult time finding a use for LLMs, because most of the day-to-day jobs involve manual labor. That said, I've been asked "how can AI help us" quite a bit (the unsaid ending to that sentence being, "...help us lay off workers"). Just as a thought experiment, I've considered the pros and cons of automating certain linguistic-heavy aspects of the business. My considered determination is that the penalty from a single fuckup by an LLM in any important scenario would dramatically outweigh all other potential savings.

This is probably why no one in a lot of sectors outside those that already provide white-label customer service are seriously considering implementing these things. There is no barrier to doing so from a financial or technical perspective, in fact there's every incentive to try it. Businesses like the one I'm in are just waiting to see how exactly the first movers will be dismembered.

> If the game is intrinsically fun, why have a score, or an end screen, or a fail state?

The end screens stick around because people really do want them. But it's very common for people to enjoy games without ever seeing an end screen.

The other two examples tend to undermine your point. Fail states have been methodically stripped from games because people hate them. Scores are more neutral; nobody cares one way or the other. But they're disappearing too. (Mostly they've already disappeared.)

You have a score in Super Mario Brothers because arcade games have scores. Arcade games have scores that people care about because the machine displays a high score list that other people will see. But nobody has ever cared about score in Super Mario Brothers - there is no high score list, and if there was one it wouldn't matter because the machine is in your home.

There are "scores" in King's Quest and Return to Zork that track your completion of the game (including optional parts). That is the same function that achievements serve today, except that achievements do it better by allowing you to tell which ones you've completed. Which of three optional two-point events you completed in King's Quest is information you can't extract from a score of "perfect minus four".
I get what you're saying, but making the example one about sexual assault is not gratutous but because it poses a unique problem for consequentialism: it's pretty much the only uncontroversial example of an act that is (1) widely agreed to be moral wrong (2) and to be so regardless of its effects on the victim.

Suppose the example had involved instead (say) theft. Then consequentialists would be able point to the fact that the act caused a reduction of the victim's assets as the "negative consequence" which renders the act morally wrong. Likewise if the example involved something as serious as murder, or as (relatively) trivial as property defacement. In all these cases, the wrongfulness of the act coexists with a negative difference (whether mental or physical) it makes to the victim. So they would not serve for the purpose of refuting the core consequentialist idea that an act is made wrong by its negative consequences (rather than say by its violation of moral rules).

If you can think of an example other than sexual assault that satisfies the twin desiderata above ((1) and (2)) equally well, I'm all ears.
Very much so, it’s a functor instance on some sort of tree, except the `map` includes a conditional dispatch.

It’s essentially

fmap $ ap fromMaybe

Except this doesn’t quite work, I’m sure there’s a pointfree version, best I can achieve is

\p -> fmap $ ap fromMaybe p

Which takes an `a -> Maybe a` and an `[a]`, and replaces all the values for which the callback returns `Some`, and leaves as-is all the values for which it returns `None`.

(I collapsed the `whereFn` and `updateFn` into a single one because there’s no reason not to)

I use unity only for free content and I'm glad they still except this from the policy (using the revenue threshold, obviously I don't have any revenue whatsoever). Obviously I can't pay for installs because I don't make any money from it.

I don't think asking professional developers to pay fees is bad in principle. After all they get a lot of value from it. And they use it to make money.

One thing I do find really bad is that they retroactively impose a monthly model on content developed with a once-off business model in mind. I don't think that's fair. If you're going to do this, do it only going forward so developers can incorporate the cost in their business model.

Always this comment on these threads. Unity existed for 18 years in a particular capacity now it's being changed. It is not unreasonable to not be prepared for a change like this or to be upset by it.

> Did you think they didn't need to buy food and pay rent?

Poor multi-billion dollar company Unity Technologies has managed to corner the entire segment of the market in 18 years and now they have to pay for food and rent.
You don't need to actually install/reinstall games if you can figure out how the Unity runtime is notifying its servers about this install.

You could theoretically write an 'install bombing' tool that sends fake install notifications straight to their server (or modify the game executable to do it repeatedly). You can't trust the client, especially when dealing with PC games.

Hopefully Unity will anticipate this potential abuse, and filter out repeated 'installs' from the same IP address. But they don't seem to have anticipated free demos, pirated copies, Game Pass, or charity bundles before announcing this...
