fair enough. Blender's penetration in game development has been very high in the past decade. There's even a nice game engine called Armory3D which is in fact a blender "plugin" (it's quite a good engine i hear - never really used it properly in anger to know fore sure tho).

Le Nez in this context means the aromatic palette, through a metonymy. Not sure it translates well to English, since this stylistic device may be very French in its usage (another example would be Musée Rodin's exhibition Rodin, la main révèle l'homme)

I could very well imagine that NSO charges per device exploited, and charges more for zero-click exploits used.

Each exploited phone raises the chance of the exploit being found and burned, so they really have to incentivize their customers to use them sparingly.

>Nvidia sold dedicated crypto mining cards. It definitely did went into crypto.

They crippled normal GPUs and sold them to miners. They did this because once the crypto bubble pops, the used GPU market won't be flooded.

>They are charging non-competitive prices for their consumer GPU market. This is opening the door to more competition.

Ok, so what? All companies do this when they're the leader.

>The desktop discrete video market is not the same thing as the consumer GPU market. You are ignoring a huge sector of integrated GPUs and mobile GPUs.

Nvidia does focus on laptop GPUs. It's much bigger than desktop discrete GPUs. Nvidia doesn't have a way to get into phone GPUs because they're tightly controlled by Apple, Qualcomm, and Mediatek. That's why they tried to buy ARM.

I don't understand your example. How does "informational amnesia" help against "I need to do X, but every page on google tells me how to X in Version N-1, and it doesn't work like that any more"? If you can't find a solution, you should ask on the Q&A channel, regardless of informational amnesia or not.
Every page of the KJB seems to have a phrase that has entered the language (e.g. give up the ghost) - though I can't be sure that those phrases weren't already popular and merely recorded.

There's probably a way to quickly detect infection, too: constantly look at all network traffic. It's probably pretty difficult to hide the outgoing traffic when they are pulling all your messages and run frequent screen capture. They will encrypt it, but the volume of data should be impossible to hide.

Even easier if you have your phone stripped down and locked up in the first place, less apps to ever cause outgoing traffic.

Seriously? You don't see any substantive difference between an explanation of dark matter and positing invisible pink unicorns? How do I even begin to respond to that?

Well, let's start with the obvious: there is actual evidence for the existence of dark matter -- that's the entire reason that dark matter is discussed at all. There is no evidence for the existence of invisible pink unicorns. Not only is there no evidence for IPU's, the IPU hypothesis is specifically designed so that there cannot possibly be any. The IPU hypothesis is unfalsifiable by design. That's the whole point.
Yeah, but Havok has that precedent set. Unity doesn't, and since the price was so low previously, the ones with the splashscreen were the ones not willing to spend even a bit of money. Whether it's warranted or not, it goes give that impression of demo/low-budget/low(er)-effort.

I can speak for some parts of Europe when I say that most antibiotics and majority of drugs definitely need prescription.

There are several good reasons for it.
1. Antibiotic overuse is a serious issue. If people could just get them without prescription they would use them for flu etc. Because they wouldn't be able to tell that it's a viral infection. Over time this would lead to even more antibiotic resistant pathogens than we have now. Plus there is the whole "kills your gut biome" thing.

2. Our healthcare is heavily subsidized and practically universal. The antibiotics and many other medications are, indirectly, payed for by government, with prices negotiated and set trough complicated process involving semi-state insurance companies and government.
Letting people buy drugs without prescription could lead to abuse, like exporting them to third countries. Causing shortages etc.
>Again, for mobile games, that's 5% after 1m in revenue, which also includes Apple and Google's 30% cut. So again, no, it's really not a good deal _at all_.

Not necessarily, let's do the math:

for 1m downloads, UE depends on how much money you make. But regardless of how much money you made, Unity's new plan on Enterprise (in the worst case, because they have not specified if the charges start after 1m installs or applies to the first million as well) will cost you $46,500, on top of the per seat pricing of enterprise. in this case, the cutoff point for when Epic costs more is if you made more than $930k in revenue. But since Epic waives the first million, this actually means you need to make $1.93m in revenue before it cancels out.

and if we go further along (where Unity's prices for enterprise start to stabilize at $0.01 per install), if you hit 5m downloads you are charged a total of $106k, the breakpoint here for UE is if you made $3.1m in revenue (again, waiving the first million).

----

By the looks of things, for a mid-revenue game UE looks better, but higher revenues mean Unity start to win out. In particular, mobile games tend to utilize whales that can make the attach rate MUCH higher than $2/user (you may not have 99 users paying anything, but a whale dropping $1000 balances the arithmetic mean to $10/user), so Unity will win out. Funnily enough, the less ethical f2p games may still prefer Unity over unreal.

For games that rely on ads or subscriptions, though? Absolutely fucked over. Drastically. You simply cannot make an ethical mobile app with Unity anymore as every user that visits and leaves in 10 minutes after a certain threshold is costing you money. If you had a bad launch with lots of users but barely any revenue, you can legitimately end up in the red for using Unity. As it would be better to shut down your app and relaunch under a different name than to try and recoup the costs with the current app.

----

I won't ramble on too much longer, but I do want to add one more tidbit to keep in mind. Gamepass and Apple Arcade are also factors, and Unity said they would charge the distributors for this. In the worst case, this can mean that Microsoft/Apple can remove your existing games from these services and disallow Unity games to be hosted. So if you want to one day utilize these kinds of subscription services, you may not even have such a choice to begin with.
On the other hand, the web would be a lot better if developers tested their sites at a much reduced bandwidth.

If that’s how you feel, that’s fine. But no, Linux is not supported on 1 billion hardware combinations. It works with a lot, but there’s no single entity that supports it all like Microsoft. You’re digging into C code if you run into a problem, someone else has not before.

Linux is a server kernel primarily. It gets used elsewhere, but that’s the core focus for development. Windows is a consumer OS. They’re really two different tools for two different jobs.
Perhaps you could pass the idea by your local group, ARRL, RSGB etc. I failed to generate interest, you may be more successful.

See my reply to amatecha.
Mein Kampf is worth at least a skim, because it demonstrates that Hitler was a human being.

History positions him as an inhuman monster, and rightly so metaphorically. We are conditioned to think that he was uniquely evil in an otherworldly sense, totally unlike us, and someone like him could never arise again because we don’t have monsters these days.

But he wasn’t a unique demon. He was a human, with human emotions and motivations and failings. It’s important to recognize him (and all the rest of the Nazis) as human, because the humans of today absolutely do have the capacity to become him again.
I am the developer of RxDB, a local-first javascript database, and I made multiple apps with it and worked with many people creating local first apps. The problems you describe are basically solved.

> What to do with stale user data?

Version/Schema migration in RxDB (same for IndexedDB and watermelonDB) can be done in simple javascript functions. This just works. https://rxdb.info/data-migration.html

> What about data corruption?

Offline first apps are built on the premise that internet connections drop or do not exist at all. The replication protocols are build with exact that purpose so they do not have any problems with that. https://rxdb.info/replication.html

> What happens when you have merge conflicts during a sync?

You are right, CRDTs are not the answer for most use cases. Therefore RxDB has custom conflict handlers, which are plain javascript functions. https://rxdb.info/replication.html#conflict-handling

> What happens when the user has millions of items?

There is a limit on how much you can store on a client device. If you need to store gigabytes of data, it will just not work. You are right at that point.

> How do you handle backups? How do you handle exports?

- live backups: https://rxdb.info/backup.html

It is more than likely that most physical reactions are not deterministic, and in that case the Big Bang definitely didn’t encode anything about all the state we have now. (Also, simply by Occam’s razor it seems much much more likely)
there was this phenomenon after 9/11, where there were no planes flying for 2 days, in the following few days, temperature dropped about 2 degree.
Another one is global dimming, where the particles that come from burning fossil fuels dim the sunlight. When you get rid of the excess co², the dimming effect should cool down the earth - not sure that's a good idea though. I think it would be much better to phase out fossil fuels alltogether, but that will take a long time and the alternatives aren't as readily available yet.
"Mein Kampf" is actually a good example of the "negative" Lindy effect because it was only relevant in a single country for a very short time, and even in Nazi Germany it was only popular (in the sense that there was a copy in every household) because it was given out as wedding gift by the state (pretty much nobody could be arsed to actually buy and read that drivel when it came out).

Chronic nose problems really do require something else.

Even without Wargames, this is an iconic computer. Those colored paddle switches and dark bezel with LEDs behind them screamed “computer”. Only thing missing was a reel to reel tape drive.

In contrast to the Altair, it was actually more subdued and less substantial. “Just” a bunch of toggle switches and lights. Could have been anything. Maybe an elaborate model railroad control panel. Industrial, perhaps, but not necessarily a computer.

The IMSAI was my first contact with computers. The one we had was built as a student project the year before. It had a keyboard, video, an open chassis 9” monitor (no touching!), 8K of RAM, and the ubiquitous cassette interface.

My instructor taught me BASIC in a hour and left the lab, leaving me to flail the rest of the evening. I forgot something fundamental and couldn’t get anything to work. (It was expressions.)

He answered my question the next day, I “aha’d” and that was the last formal instruction I had for computers for 3 years until I took Fortran in college. All self taught through books, magazines, etc. Alone, I had no one really to talk to. For whatever reason I never really talked to my instructor about it again.

I ditched my first class playing with that thing.

We never turned it off, if you did you had to type in, oh, 30-50 bytes of hex code into the monitor so you could load BASIC from cassette. I tried to use the front panel to do it once, that got old very fast. It didn’t work.

Next year we had several PET computers donated, and I never touched the IMSAI again. I spent a lot of time on the PETs. I routinely broke into the room that housed them in the library, climbing up and in through the window.

But the IMSAI, that was my black monolith in the swamp, that just happened to be blue, that touched me first.
You could use Apple’s lockdown mode. It’s unmatched on Android.

Google and Samsung warn you about enabling root.

Samsung:

Is rooting your smartphone a security risk?

Rooting disables some of the built-in security features of the operating system, and those security features are part of what keeps the operating system safe and your data secure from exposure or corruption. Since today’s smartphones operate in an environment filled with threats from attackers, buggy or malicious applications, as well as occasional accidental missteps by trusted users, anything that reduces the internal controls in the Android operating system represents a higher risk.

https://insights.samsung.com/2022/07/28/what-are-the-securit...

Google:

Security risks with modified (rooted) Android versions
Google provides device security protections to people around the world using the Android operating system. If you installed a modified (rooted) version of Android on your device, you lose some of the security protection provided by Google.

Important: If your account is enrolled in the Advanced Protection Program, don’t use that account on a device with a modified version of Android. Modified versions of Android can undermine Advanced Protection’s increased security features.

This is just wishful thinking.

All the alternatives have proven that they barely work too.

1. Dedicated forums - have you seen cesspools that are community.microsoft.com or apple support forums? Or few surviving audio forums, with those long taglines? Also searchability of those forums leaves to be desired too, as they rarely get to first page of google.

2. Stackoverflow quality has degraded severely in recent years. Both from perspectives of someone who wants to ask a question and someone who wants to answer it. Niche stackoverflows are still fine, but general programming ones are just shit, full of obsolete/old accepted answers that nobody cares to update to current year status

3. Get it done. It is obviously to be better healthy and rich than sick and poor

I grown into contrary view. Discords are fine. Based on my personal experience, at least the ones where I tried to find some help (QMK, Bambulab, bunch of gaming ones). The fact that same question is being asked again and again is fine. Somebody will answer it. Or not, and then the search for an answer will continue.

They significantly reduce friction to answer for somebody who is open to help. See example about stackoverflow above. I just left it, as I don't want to deal with mods there.

You forgot the subset of posts over 150 points where there are more comments than points: where the conversation takes a fanatical bent.

From the past week:

Fine-tune Llama 2 (900 points, 180 comments) -- no flame war or snark, just engineering discussion

Bug in macOS (800 points, 200 comments) -- very short and objective bug report, just one major disagreeable discussion branch

Uninstallers are like malware (800 points, 480 comments) -- even the second page of comments has valid discussion outside most of the last dozen comments

iPhone 15 (750 points, 2000 comments) -- there it is. USB-C anger, annoyance at incrementalness, "every Apple fanboy is rushing to get this and use it for Insta", Apple fanboys (rightly) defending their phone will be supported for nearly a decade what now Asus/Motorola/Sony?!, and then the last two pages are the "grab some popcorn" discussions

(additionally, there's a second post about iPhone 15 Pro with 250 points and 500 comments; similar comment distribution)

-- a few more posts with more points than comments, nothing unusual --

Unity (480 points, 520 comments) -- understandably angry comment section, impressive because very few people have taken Unity's side which is maybe why it is close to the 1:1 points-to-comments ratio

Interactive Map of Linux Kernel (420:30) -- this one has a particularly point-heavy ratio, just a few people pointing out the minor inaccuracies, browser quirks, lots of praise and a few, "How do you do that?"

nothing else on the top 30 has more points than comments, the next one with this distinction is #32, "Uselessness of Phenylephrine," which is not a surprise to me

The next standout to me IS an engineering post with 150 points and 270 comments, but it represents a strong opinion bashing TOML. It's akin to a declaration of which food is the best, and the discussion gets heated but also technical.
There's a difference between illegal and malicious. If you ask me where the nearest bathroom is, I could point you in the opposite direction, and that'd be legal. Or, if I didn't want to lie, I could point you to one I know is it of order, since you didn't say "working bathroom I'd be allowed to use".

Sure, the license allows it. This implies neither the presence of malice/sketchiness/betrayal of trust, nor the absence of it.
Customers want two things related to these reported defects: to have them fixed as soon as possible and not to face the same or a similar problem in the future.

How organizations route an issue/case/ticket to the team that will fix it impacts the time it takes to resolve the issue. Routing is trivial when the company is small, but figuring out who has to fix something can be challenging when your organization has more than a dozen development teams.
>Unreal Engine hasn't had even close to the success or adoption on mobile platforms as it has elsewhere.

not sure if that's a fair comparison. UE existed for 15 years before smartphone applications existed. Unity's first public release was mac only and focused a lot on making web and IOS apps. No surprise that Epic's decade long dynasty wasn't surpassed when they never put a strong emphasis on mobile to begin with.

IIRC Unreal Engine has 15% mobile marketshare, so it's not an unviable option. Especially in times where even mobile games are starting to come into the open world action frenzy.
