> Doesn’t seem like much more of an advantage than people yelling things at baseball players?

The baseball equivalent would be the crowd knowing signals between the pitchers and catcher and yell them out so the batter always know what pitch is coming. (this is pretty much the only hidden information in baseball)

That would pretty much ruin the game (in some players/fans mind at least). And in fact this is something the MLB is actively trying to solve by providing encrypted signal communication devices so players don't have to rely on finger/etc signals that can be decrypted by the opposing team.
Oh, that's good to know. I was surprised to see a German article on HN and, while it's not the first time, I did kinda expect it was a translation. But I didn't think it was a machine translation: anyone so bad at English that they can't read a regular text about a topic they're interested in will be used to running pages through a translator, probably via a browser extension. No need to serve up a machine translation noninteractively.

As a German learner, I take every German text at least somewhat as a learning experience and look at the conjugations used. If it had said "this is a computer-generated text" above, I'd have done that. Now I'm not sure what mistakes I've been using as example...
An OSINT journalist on Twitter carried out the most detailed investigation yet into the dam's destruction - far more thorough than the Nev York Times article mentioned elsewhere in this discussion. The conclusions are contentious, but the evidence is clear - backed up by multiple hydraulic engineers.

Think of it like guns. In the east, children don't touch guns that easy as Americans. So you not going to hear about accidental gunshot in the east no matter how stupid or how genius you are as Asian. In America, that is a normal annual statistical happenings. Fentanyl is like that. There are many incidents paper money laced with fentanyl where you touch it, you get fentanyl overdose. You almost can argue it seems foreign agents are slowly decimating American people to soften the take over with immigrants.
Americans expect the government to be corrupt and bad, and they get what they expect. In Europe we get very angry when the government is corrupt and bad.

Maybe instead of trying to spread your meme of "government always bad", you try to take on the European meme of "government needs to be good or everything goes to hell"?
Shelling was unlikely to have caused that damage.

Just going by stock price alone: before Jobs’ death NYT stock was around $8. Today it is around $40.

We’ll never know the outcome of a Jobsian Apple partnership but I struggle to see what has happened as a mistake. Judging by stock price the company seems to be doing fine without President Trump (and their cooking, games etc seem like sensible diversifications) so again, difficult to see the failure.

IMO a better comparison than Pixar is The Washington Post. Bought by Bezos, bundled with Prime membership etc… should have set the world alight. I thought it was game over for the likes of NYT. But doesn’t seem to have been that successful. These things feel far from guaranteed.

> The International was heavily advertised on Steam products. Which is the biggest gaming store.

The biggest gaming store is almost certainly the Android Google Play Store's gaming section. It also wouldn't surprise me if the nintendo eShop is larger than the steam store, but at the very least I'm very confident in Google Play and iOS app stores being larger than steam for games.

I think the majority of gamers have never played a PC game or watched esports. The parent post only said "I even played games", and you jumped to "watching esports" and "twitch". Watching esports is a tiny niche of gamers. Watching twitch also is.

I don't see why the difference matters. In both cases, verifiable computation is deployed and useful.

In the case of HTTP calls to SaaS providers, that's part of the promise of verifiable computation - that you can outsource it to a provider and verify that both the input and the computation are what you specified, and thus that you can trust the output. Even if its running in an otherwise black box on the SaaS provider's infrastructure.

No, my point is that many articles on climate change confuse weather with climate change. (The crime that you accuse me of committing.)

If someone says "this year is unusually warm with unusually low ice cover", that is not about climatic factors spanning decades to centuries.

If someone says "the average ice cover between 2000-2020 is lower than the average cover between 1980-2000" that is about climate.

In general so that what you write is not mutilated by software that doesn't know the words you use. If there are typos, it's not difficult for the receiver to "autocorrect" while reading, but when autocorrect miscorrects, it's not easy for the writer to notice how the message changed nor for the reader to guess what was there before the "fixes".
You're carrying the water of the monopolists. The reason why it would make so much sense for these conglomerates to own Unity is not because they're so much better; it's because their practices have already eliminated any competition that would have been a happy home for Unity.

What most seem to do is to use an application like Godot or Unity to build the engine in step 2. You do not have to start from scratch you know. Those things are more or less toolkits for building your actual game's engine. Not like the more specific game engines that you might think of if you are older and remember game engines last century.

Depending on what game it is I can see someone using something like Raylib to build their engine instead. The abstraction level there is about the same as Godot. You get high-level API:s for a large number of things and support for many platforms (far more than what Godot or Unity supports). What you do not get is a GUI for building scenes or editing scripts.

Starting from a lower level with something like SDL sounds like something more suitable for hobby projects, like coding a game in TIC-80 or writing a 16-bit DOS game in FreePascal or other hobby-activities (things that I enjoy). Fun, but probably almost never a good idea for a business.

Unity never became successful in terms of profit. It isn’t FOSS but people treat it as such. I mean look at this:

Unity has bottom of the barrel users for the most part, it will be good for the company if these demanding yet unprofitable people go elsewhere.
That's the point, if you don't know about any esport, why would you know about this one? If you do know about esports then you know about The International.

But let's also say that The International was on ESPN, and other "sports" TV channels.
Rudeness scales mostly with the size of the community. If you go to something like Nim you will immediately find them way more nice than Go, just from this.
> You owe the users absolutely nothing.

Stop right there. When you ask people for feedback, be it 1-on-1s or bug reports, ignoring the feedback is ruder than never having asked in the first place.

If you decided to ask for feedback, and they're kind enough to take time out of their day and spend their efforts to help you out in the way you asked them to help you out, then yes, you DO owe it to the provider to not then tell them to bugger off with said feedback.

If you were going to do that, you should have disabled bug reports from users, instead of asking users to help you by providing feedback. Here is a helpful tutorial on doing that on GitHub: [0]

This is code with async/await:

async fn read_file(filename):
f = await os.open(filename)
let data = f.read()
await f.close()
return data

this is equivalent code with green threads:

fn read_file(filename):
f = os.open(filename)
let data = f.read()
f.close()
return data

As you can see, async/await is pure syntactic noise, it doesn't convey any important meaning.
There are sentences in this email that don’t parse at all; it’s still possible to guess what he probably meant, since humans are highly adept at error recovery for natural languages, but it takes significantly more time.
The main reason their stock has been doing well has been the role of Trump in driving hardcore blue party partisans into subscribing to paywalled media outlets like the NYT "to resist Trump".

Simple, sure, but AWS still charges insane rates.

I can get 60k IOPS on a nanode at $5/mo rate. You actually get a random amount between 20k-60k depending on the type of machine they provision your nanode on.

You want 60k IOPS on AWS? Be prepared to pay like 4-5k/mo. Want multiple systems with it so you can cluster a reasonably performance database? Pay for each and you need to special request the ability to go past 100k IOPS in a region.

Want the privilege of a dedicated vCPU? It's $1500/mo per region just to turn on the feature.

I tried to use AWS just as you mention here and the cost was 100-1000x what it would cost me at akamai cloud or Hetzner. All these fees I was unfamiliar with popped out and the cost was crazy high.

The system I tried to provision was functionally similar to the bottom end dedicated akamai cloud offering and it was going to cost 15-20k/mo instead of $72. Over 200x. And that was just the hourly provisioned rate, not including egress and other bits...
At least the retailers only take their cut one time. Under Unity’s new paradigm they can charge the developer more than the user paid for the game.

It really needs to be stated that the dams destruction is a massive catastrophe for Ukraine, and as much as people say "Russia had no reason to do it", Ukraine had far far less reason to do it.

It provides water for drinking and heavy industry and agriculture for the entire central part of the country most of which is still under Ukrainian control. Lots of manufacturing capacity that was still online, had to be shut down. It still caused a ton of damage in Kherson, and the Russian positions it "destroyed" are irrelevant because Ukraine hasn't actually made any big push to the other side there, just some minor skirmishes. And Russia has now had, at this point, plenty of time to rebuild those positions. So Ukraine is going to be eating an economic cost of billions or tens of billions, and gained nothing from the destruction of the dam.

The most likely cause is that Russia had prepped it for demolition in case of a significant Ukrainian attack across the river, and then either misinterpreted a small attack or triggered it by accident.
You are very obviously avoiding the question and trying to paint something that isn't there. It seems you have some very sore point about the US in Afghanistan? Swap US with France in Afghanistan then. It makes no difference to the question. Why is it worse? Or is it actually not different but the point was from the start to attack between the lines? It reads like someone using weasel words or whataboutism: Writing one thing but clearly trying to convey something completely different.

Installs by Unity's own admission, only count each new machine, which I guess can be faked by malicious entities who want to hurt certain developers. This also counts pirate installs, but Unity claims to have a way to discern what is and isn't a pirate install.

Honestly, this is mostly going to hurt indie devs who make it, but aren't quite in the same successes bracket as a game like Cities: Skylines, Hearthstone, Rimworld. And also F2P games, especially mobile ones, where Whales can easily spend $200k or $1mil, but you have millions of installs of people just trying the free game and deleting it, or installing it on multiple devices.

The Runtime fee can easily exceed Unreal Engine's own 5% flat Royalty Fee by a fair margin (easily 10%) depending on the money you ask for and method of distribution, for example, you won't want to give out copies or discount the game as much after meeting the requirements.

Late to this comment thread, but Amazon actually excels at this type of long term measurement, through methodologies internally called HVA/DSI and DSE (to name just a couple).

- High Value Action / Downstream Impact == using a "twins" comparison, estimate the 12-month impact of a customer taking a particular action (e.g. sign up for Prime, watch their first Prime Video, etc.), compared to one who doesn't. HVAs are basically those "A's" which turn out to have a high numeric DSI value.

- Downstream Expectation == similar but very different - instead of quantifying the impact of a single action, DSE tries to estimate the combined downstream causal impact of a user taking an initial action... there's a sophisticated methodology there that tries to strip away confounding factors like "rich people who would've shopped more anyways, are also naturally more likely to sign up for Prime", because they truly want to measure the causal benefit of Prime itself, separate from the fact that richer customers generally spend more no matter what

These are both long-term methodologies, that were explicitly designed in response to the problems of: short term experiments that didn't capture long-term negative effects, and different parts of Amazon having vastly different methodologies for measuring business impact (e.g. page views vs search impressions vs downloads vs orders vs whatever... no, everyone should optimize for the same customer level financial metric which is a flavor of growth-adjusted composite contribution profit (GCCP) that's partly derived from DSE)

I don’t think it’s the lingo/shorthand but rather the fact that some of the sentences don’t parse at all.

It’s possibly to figure out what he meant, but it requires significantly more time than if the sentences were constructed “correctly”.

Missing pronouns are easy to fill in, but consider this sentence:

> But [I] want to use every opportunity to make Cloud Streaming more mainstream the better it is in the long run […]

As soon as I reach “the better it is” I feel a mental jolt because I expect a construction along the lines of “the more <X> the better it is” (apparently this is called a “correlative comparison”); even though I just read the word “more”, it didn’t fit into the expected construction, so I go back over the sentence to see if I misread it.
I’m sure if you think about this a little bit you’ll see that preventing the sale of businesses is a terrible idea.

Dota players play/watch Dota. Similar thing also applies to country strike players.

At least this is the experience in my circle of friends. Got a couple friends who have pretty much only played Dota (or CS) for the last 15+ years and have 0 interest in even trying any other game. There is also the crowd (including me) who play video games in general but these are very clearly different groups.

So this is like saying "football fans are insular to football". I mean yeah they are football fans not "sports fans".
