Judging from the fact their EV was losing its wheels, there's also the problem of handling the extra torque, although I can't imagine that would take long to fix if they care at all.
Yep, it had this effect on me! Ultimately I did not get that device working on my debian desktop, though it worked without issue on the raspberry pi I also wanted to use it for and that was good enough. Would love to have this device (wireless xbox controller dongle) for my desktop too, but I am not going to hang out on discord to debug a computer problem unless I desperately have to. I can just plug in my xbox controller and use it wired.

$0.20 is the minimum, you pay for every device they install on every time. Anytime they offload and reinstall, you pay again. Every additional device, upgrade, or replacement, you pay again. You’ll also pay then current rates, whatever Unity decides those are.

No abuse needed to lose money with this, I’ve probably installed the same games 20+ times over the years.
> This retroactive stuff is insane and I cannot figure out how a company can make that type of move if they care about their users.

I can't even understand how it can possibly be legal. How on earth is it even possible to say "your game which was released before we updated this license is subject to the updated version"? IANAL but that sure seems like something which would require both parties to agree to the updated terms for them to be binding.
The logic you're suggesting can easily be implemented with a Git hook:

If there is no buyer for excess solar/wind electricity, then it must curtail and earn less income.

Less income means it takes longer to pay off initial capital costs and generate return.

Slower investment return from solar and wind deployments means expansion of them will take longer.

If wind and solar takes longer to roll out at full scale for financial reasons, then our goals towards fossil fuel reductions takes longer.

Therefore, if you can find a buyer who will suck up any excess solar and wind and pay them, we eliminate fossil fuels quicker.
On the other hand, the Law should care only if your actions broke it, and not what kind of things you told somebody. (And if you exploited your monopoly completely by chance and got a couple of billions out of it, too bad, you are guilty anyway.)

But until we have that, people will keep studying what they can and can't say.
The Constitution is almost 250 years old. It’s amazing for its time, but it’s now the oldest written constitution still in use and long since improved on by its many imitators and copies. We probably should replace it.

We've been calling it "Install Bombing" after the common abusive practice of review bombing. Unity claims they have anti-fraud systems in place and you can always appeal with their fraud team but I don't have an reason to blindly trust a black box that when fails makes Unity more money and puts the burden on me to prove otherwise.
Game engines usually charge a far higher license amount for using their tech in the gambling industry and because Godot doesn't charge anything and its programming model is pretty in tune for what gambling games need they get a lot more gambling sponsors then other open source projects.

This works in theory, but the problem is, these miners are not actually a flexible user in practice. Every minute they’re not mining, they’re losing money in the sunk cost of (depreciating) hardware. For example, in Q2 2023, Riot (the biggest miner in Texas) recognized 66mm of depreciation on only 50mm in revenue.

Somehow the Denver Post hates Denver. From meth sales in the main branch of the Denver Public Library (which I went to and never saw) to Union Station as a "lawless hellhole" (I walked through it a few days after that headline. Grandmas and kids and dogs) to this.

As soon as the Rocky Mountain News folded, the Post took a very conservative turn. That includes hating everything urban, apparently.

I worked at Google and I didn't get that impression.

This applies to any paid API and is something we check for when we do security audits, definitely not a "first of its kind". It's just not common that APIs that cost 20 cents per invocation are exposed directly to the general public.
If you read the actual words and statements of the historic people fighting the actual drug war, they seem implausible and even cartoonish, and they absolutely drip with racism. While the reality was partly incredibly racist malicious actors deliberately ramping up the drug war, it was also an incredibly malicious right-wing culture war - imprisoning peace activists was a stated goal of the architects of the drug war. Nixon specifically supported it because it would imprison black folks and hippies.
Pretty sure it does that for everybody in the modern IPv6 world.

I like the way you describe your process. As the person who made the stylometry thing that made the rounds a while back, I would say the best thing you can do on that front is to either get a "paraphraser" like ChatGPT/translators or just write less. Also, there's a site called smspva.com and a lot of sites like it where you can rent "real" phone numbers and they take every payment method under the sun. Depending on the country a phone number to receive an OpenAI confirmation code is about $0.50, most less popular services are like $0.10-$0.20.

>Unity has been extremely wishy-washy on how they even plan to track this mentioning proprietary systems they can't elaborate on and your only recourse is to appeal if you think they got the numbers wrong.

I have a second Yubikey which is accepted everywhere my primary Yubikey is. Why is that the second-best option and not the best option? I must be missing something basic here.

I have only been generally following this but I don’t think this is quite accurate.

It seems more like, starting in 2024 when you get more downloads the fee would be applied.

I see people talking here about apps that have a huge user base and a very low price per purchase. I admit that segment didn’t pop into my mind initially. And I see the problem there. I also imagine the Unity execs may have missed that scenario too.

From reading all of their public communication, and with just a hint of principle of charity, I suspect they are trying to do this in the most fair minded and developer friendly manner possible.

You have to meet both volume and revenue minimums to even be subject to this. All free apps are safe. All non-profits are safe.

I think it is good Unity is receiving public feedback.

I'm going to guess that it was an attempt to address some fans critism that their newer games were too "hand holding" compared to their older titles. Not saying it was a good design decision but that may have been the thought process.
That and/or they wanted to set up existing games. Something like 1 in 5 of top 50 iOS games, free-to-play and majority Asian(Chinese or Japanese), are making banks and on Unity.

Personally I’m wondering if Chinese gamedev industry would “buy Godot” or do something to that effect. Japanese publishers won’t be able to do that nor would be willing to pay, so I’m guessing they’ll migrate existing to UE or wind down Unity titles, just my speculations though.
I remember I was 14-15 on SparkMatch because I had to convince my mom to drive me 30 miles to a mall so I could meet a girl from SparkMatch. To this day I was the most out of my league girl I ever 'dated' (only kissed a few times). I soon acted too sweet and too lame and lost her. But it taught me a lot to always be cooler and I cleaned up in the coming OkCupid/PlentyofFish revolution, and doubly so by the time Tinder came around.
I still think about that girl sometimes, which makes sense, because she was somewhat unique to be online constantly back in 1999-2000.

There is some discussion around cannabis bans and their causes in their thread. One aspect that isn’t discussed much but could be very relevant to differing opinions here is that different people respond incredibly differently to marijuana.

Some people experience various, mostly mild, forms of cognitive impairment such as sleepiness, thinking everything is funny, and memory issues. Other people seem to enter a state of heightened idea generation, like more of their brain is working on ideation than usual, and perhaps the sort of thing a priest class would find useful (thinking back to when this plant would have been domesticated). I’m sure there are many other types of reaction as well.

If someone experiences priest mode or is around those that do, they will be more positive towards it than others who only see impairment mode. It is much less homogenous in its effect on people than alcohol is.
> depends on if by "contributing" you mean "making plugins" or "contributing to the codebase at large". From the sound of things you want to do the latter.

Yep, I just want to cut my teeth on bugfixes for now, maybe a plugin down the road. I'm running into some trouble finding much in the way of a bug tracker. The official issues page:

https://issues.unrealengine.com/

only lists the last 5 bugs. I'd love it if I could browse them all, & perhaps filter by module. Unfortunately I'm not sure that listing exists publically.
Thanks for the suggestion. I am still using my crusty old launch day Xbox One and the original launch day controllers for it. All of the hardware is working great, and somehow I have a lot of those controllers. But that generation of hardware uses their proprietary wireless interface rather than bluetooth. There is a cute little $20 generic dongle you can buy for this, and it works great on for example the raspberry pi I use with steam link. For some reason though the kernel driver did not properly load on my debian system. This is where I encountered the discord based support chat. I did post some info there and got some suggestions, but I really dislike discord for working on software issues. Github Issues works extremely well for me for this.
Because gambling is a funnel that converts exposure into raw, unrefined, money, and sponsoring Godot has incredible value-to-money: naïve game developers generally have poor financial sense!

No they don't, Microsoft didn't do this training and got nailed for bundling internet explorer with windows. Then Microsoft and all other big tech companies started to police words and look, no big anti trust like that has happened in US since. As long as Microsoft says "we always open edge no matter the settings when you click links in our products to ensure the best customer experience", instead of "we always open edge to increase edge market share", they wont get nailed in USA.

Great article. I personally put the blame on mobile devices and the "mobilification" of every computing application. Mobile-first mentality saw application designers ruthlessly culling anything that caused even the slightest friction. The result: slipstreamed applications that do the least necessary to appeal to the broadest audience.

Sadly, the mobilification mindset even sometimes impacts desktop-first applications, what few remain. The attack vector of choice is Electron hosting a mobile-first web app with a middling desktop breakpoint.

Ultimately, the author captures the same phenomenon, but I personally think it traces more specifically to the rise of mobile devices.
The older versions should be subject to those original ToS, retroactive ToS changes are poor treatment.
The unsurprising part to me is not that it's "common", but with over 50k TSA agents, I'd be shocked if some small percentage of them weren't thieves. If only one in a thousand is a thief, that's still 50 thieves.
What I hate most about this is that it puts unbounded liability onto developers. They can't control how often their game will be installed in the future. The outcome will likely be that the minute a game falls below a certain rate of sales they will be forced to make it unavailable because they can't risk the ongoing cost of the existing userbase continually reinstalling it. Every time a new platform or device is released, there will be a wave of people shifting their installs which will will generate cost for developers for no return, and windfall profits to Unity for doing absolutely nothing. They get the money even if the user never even opens the app, they just click the button saying "install all my apps from my old device on my new one". Which is what a lot of users will do.
Sure, but i said “the person“. I think the odds of him talking to that person are effectively zero.

And as if his message is going to change his mind! Thus my question.
MechJeb is the most important mod. It makes the game reasonable to play. Otherwise it’s just too difficult. I still recommend playing it in career mode and starting with original space flight rockets where you didn’t have a lot of automation. You get a good feel for the mechanics and it’s really not hard to get something into space. Then as you unlock the science nodes you get access to more advanced features including MechJeb, which is a part on your ship. It offers a lot of features like various autopilots, planning calculators, etc. The other mods add a lot of parts that are fun and become critical in extending game play. Something I found interesting in the game was how absurdly hard it is to actually hit the sun. The earth is moving so fast around the sun the amount of delta v (change in velocity) required to actually fall into the sun is really hard to build into a probe. So much for shooting our nukes into the sun.

MechJeb - makes the game much easier. Provides a lot of data and autopilot guidance features.

> If there is no buyer for excess solar/wind electricity, then it must curtail and earn less income.

Solar and wind have the lowest marginal costs of production, which means they'll win out on the wholesale power markets. Furthermore, Texas is a state with increasing population growth and increasing energy needs (hotter planet means more A/C, after all), and has regularly been setting all-time highs on daily energy consumption. So there'll always be a buyer for the excess electricity.
Crypto mining can scale up and down extremely easily. They are a good fit for hydro, wind, solar, and nuclear where not using the energy means it’s simply wasted (at least until serious grid scale battery exists).

If you want to judge payers of electricity you should also look at video games. It is pure entertainment with no societal value beyond that. If that doesn’t bother you, maybe don’t judge what people want to electricity for if they buy it on the open market.
The problem is they now want to license the engine as a separate product which they didn’t do in the past. Previously, you paid your license fee for editor and any game you build off that is deployed and you could stop paying them.

I guess they didn’t like the thought of not being able to perpetually milk their customers and wanted to increase their cut outside of the editor fee.

From what I understand though, Unreal is just licensed based on revenue and all the editing tools are free. Unity had the opposite approach previously. They’ve decided they want a cut of both pies.
Well, I don’t know about that - MechJeb makes it considerably easier to do almost anything.
“Get out of my house.”
