Dunno why you are getting downvoted. That was my exact reaction, too. Given how often they "promise" something and then renege in 3 years.

It'll probably never happen, but I would absolutely love to see P2P messaging on the iPhone.

I've been in so many situations where that would have been useful: Sitting in different rows on the same flight or train, driving in two cars in the middle of nowhere and coordinating toilet/food breaks, finding each other in a mall/store abroad without roaming data...

AirDropping a note back and forth kind of works, but is a real pain compared to what must be easily possible even with Blueooth alone.
Oh ok, then I guess we just have a different definitions. I would define AAA titles almost purely by budget/resources.

So for example, I would say that Fortnite and Genshin were AAA games from the start, and that LOL and Pubg became and have been AAA titles for years now.
Unity IPO’ed three years ago. Their stock is down 80%, common among tech stock since money printer stopped. However now their plan to turn the tech company to cash cow and milk existing customers seem to have backfired.
Don't apologize in the name of the brazilian people. You don't speak for all of us. You speak only for yourself, as do I. At least I'm humble enough not to decree what I say is the absolute truth.

I think your distinction between 1 and 2 is very important (but, as a computational biologist, I disagree about CompSci not being science :-).

Along these lines, I think the role of consensus in science has been overly dramatized by those with various policies to push. Max Planck's principle is famous in the short form "Science progresses one funeral at a time". One of the professors I worked with as a graduate student had a sign on his desk, "First They Ignore You, Then They Laugh at You, Then They Attack You, Then You Win".

These two quotes captures an important tension in the practice of science: consensus both retards the progress of science and captures it for others to build on.

I'd imagine it being fairly sad. I live in the Czech republic and it's a lively scene, but just leagues away from a place like London or SV. Small country, bubble universe effect, small thinking, for the most part. Many founders aim at the local market, which is tiny, because they can't imagine competing with western companies (when they totally could).
This is sad to see as a user, but I can tell you it’s really sad when you have to do it to your own product.
Thanks! I didn't think to search for "phase" despite that being an obvious term when wondering about trials.
That study is interesting to understand the psychological effects of typography. It's not needed to prove that typography _has_ a psychological effect, which we've known for decades.

A sibling comment pointed out font psychology, which you might want to look into. Most of this is rooted in visual design, which is an inexact science, so you probably won't find the type of studies you want to see, for the same reason you won't find studies about other art forms.
Lol, this is a great comment.
Yea I’d imagine the feed change and Twitter fully embracing low effort memes and jokes for its “virality” effect were a big factor
That's relatively simple to do, even in mysql. One trick is to use a square instead of a circle, which avoids a lot of math.
Disagree about 'slow metabolism' big time. It is not myth. I know for a fact I eat less than I did when I was 16 for the same body weight. If humans vary by all sort of other attributes, such as IQ, height, or physical strength, even controlling for age and other variables, why would metabolism not vary too? That makes no sense.

Also, 'starvation mode' does not mean that the laws of thermodynamics does not work anymore. I dunno why this concept is so confusing to so many people. It's like people are trying to make this needlessly complicated or being deliberately obtuse because they have some axe to grind. It means that the body burns fewer calories than predicted by weight, physical activity, and other variables, which makes dieting much harder. It is sometimes called metabolic adaptation. So Instead of burning 2000 calories/day as predicted for your new, lower weight, you only burn 1500 or so.
Sorry not even going to read the article, from what I can tell Politico's raison d'etre is to shill for the establishment. Big surprise the headline is to tear down a threat to it.

I encourage everyone to read about the DNC fraud lawsuit where the DNC argued that they have no obligation to hold a fair primary because they're a corporation and the nomination process isn't constitutionally protected:

The ai-cli library attaches to programs that offer interactive command-line editing and modifies their interface so you can obtain generative AI suggestions with a single keystroke.

Is there really a meaningful theoretical difference between BLE and ANT in battery life, or are these just inefficient implementations?

BLE can definitely last for many months on a CR2032 battery, in my experience – I use cheap Bluetooth thermometers/hygrometers with a Raspberry Pi running Home Assistant like that.

True, but the original point of an engagement ring was for it to be a store of value should the fiancee perish unexpectedly, so I was aiming for that.

Whonix (KVM) is like running Debian with XFCE, but no matter what you do, your real IP address will never leak, at any point.

This seems like a very strange thing to say. I presume you do text-based coding as well? Multiple cursors, search/replace, bulk refactors and other semi-global operations are a huge part of my normal workflow and I can't quite fathom how visual coding would change the need for that.

Regarding refactoring - I'm not sure what you describe really is "refactoring".
A lot of games can not just drop Unity quickly. So a bunch will be forced into paying Unity. Also remember Apple just made Unity "the way" for making full screen VR apps on their new VR device. Don't underestimate how much Unity can make this way... while a lot will drop Unity many games simply can not in the medium term.
The Forward party is the latest manifestation of Americans’ misguided hope of “rising above” politics (to use the cliched phrase from the Obama era).

Unfortunately there is no way out but through. Talking to your political opponents reasonably and performatively evincing civility and empty slogans such as “there is no red and blue just Americans” ain’t gonna get us there. The filibuster and gerrymandering and the unreasonable power of the Supreme Court and the electoral college and the unfettered influence of money will still be things at the end of all these slogans.

The system is broken and the horrible truth is that unbreaking it (if possible) will require positively advancing specific reform measures and a painful, unglamorous fight.
Every new version is bloatier, slower and buggier. When you have a Unity version that works for your project, you stick to it and hope you won't be forced to update because Apple / Google changed something that now requires a new Unity version to be compatible.
As a user, I have very little control over 99.999% of all sites' infrastructures. We were talking about lazy loading on a train. Most users have no control over the HTML attributes they receive.

As software developers make up a vanishingly small amount of all users on trains, it seems prudent to highlight their collective experience, not the portion of a one-off that you can control as an individual contributor.

I'm well aware that you or I as individuals have very little control over public transit infrastructure. It's a shame we cannot team up as a group to solve these issues rather than fixate on our experiences solely through a personal lens.
thanks, but I'm sick of Apple for taking away/not providing basic features so that we have to pay for third-party apps. Same thing happened with sound equalizers.
It's the same meaning of the world as in the movie and music industry - no publisher/label == indie.

Indie doesn't mean "small team" or "ugly game with interesting gameplay" or "game that makes less than 200k". All that means is that there aren't any external contractual obligations.
Yes, but my point was that legally Unity and Epic were nothing alike.

Epic's license and the associated fee structure are tied to the version in effect when you give your notice to Epic, which can be at any point in development up to the moment of commercial release.

Unity's license and associated fee structure can change at any time and apply somewhat retroactively, and apparently even to third parties like game subscription services.
> I’m sure there’s a reason why they moved to a fail-safe gear for consumer use — but as a consumer — I have no clue what that reason is.

As someone who just infrequently uses their gifted kitchen aid mixer let me offer a new perspective.

I’d be ill-inclined to use it if I had to oil my kitchen equipment. That’s the reality. I use it once a month, and i would be turned off if I had to add lubricant. I’m an engineer, I get why it’s good, I get the purpose, but it’s just one more chore I wouldn’t do.
Your style will get you through a project, but you'll miss out on useful but nonessential features.

For example, a lot of C++ programmers miss the full spectrum of std::algorithm. A lot of Python+NumPy programmers miss out on some useful indexing tricks.

I'm still suffering from not taking a rigorous approach to unix shell.

If what you're proposing about rooftop solar being more efficient was true, why wouldn't the utilities just pay to roll that out to residential customers? E.g. the utility pays to install the panels on your roof and then you get a discount on your electricity to pay for the "roof lease"?
I would be very surprised if a company would consider leaving the world's 5th largest economy due to a 7-year parts requirement.
That warning screen is the most awful thing...

Not because of the warning, but because if you press Spacebar on that warning screen (which is the only key that the screen suggests you might want to press), it re-enables OS Verification, removing your ability to boot anything but ChromeOs until you run some more terminal commands do set it all up again..

If at any point a child, or pretty much anyone else besides you turns on your laptop, this is guaranteed to happen.

I hope they had good reason for making this design decision because for me it was one of the most frustrating aspects of trying boot outside of ChromeOS
What incentive would ARM have to do that, though? Just so the UK can "skim off some of the capital" (which is a very generous way of describing what's actually occurring).
Quite the opposite, they're quite adamant about only using free (as in freedom) and in this case, beer, software. And denounce the usage of VPNs at every opportunity. ;)

BTW: those durable plastic carry bags from IKEA are a bit of a lifehack for me. They are just a few USD each and they carry a lot of volume and weight.

I am giving RISC-V 5 to 10 years to catch up in my estimates. I think that is fair. The momentum behind RISC-V is massive and even then I am not saying it is fast.

The work of philosophers and sociologists of science, Kuhn and Feyerabend in particular, support this perspective.
It makes me think of the Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia episode where Dennis hypocritically appeals to authority in an effort to disprove creationism. The valuable point the skit makes is that there is a sort of “cult of science” where people mistake faith for reason and you have a bunch of science “believers” who dont realize it. Of course this is not what science really is.

Personally, I have always been irked by phrases like “Science say” as if science itself is a centralized institution rather than a collection of people applying the scientific method.

In a similar vein, I sometimes see posts of some natural phenomena (like ants changing colors after drinking dyed water) with captions like “Isnt science cool?” Im still trying to figure out why this irks me but its weird to imply science somehow caused this.
The side benefits are enormous. Its not like Unity where Unity fees are the bread and butter for the company.
Does cloud services need to be simpler and more accessible?
Hiya,

I’ve lately been thinking about this because AWS is complex to use if you don’t know what you’re doing, Google cloud is slightly easier but still complex for newbies or indie developers. And what about people on shopify and wix who say want to have ML or want to store their own customer data somewhere, shouldn’t their be a simpler solution to this all?

What does everyone think?
If it’s just edges, routing existing track with a round over bit is nothing. Maybe not much of a challenge though.

Unity should've talked to people before announcing the changes.

This is an unforced error on Unity's part and while historical performance does not promise future performance; you really can expect Unity to make large blast-radius changes in the future without consulting you.
Would be great if you could bid: the user signs a contract where they commit to pay $X if they get married.

The more you commit to, the more priority the algorithm gives you as it wants you to get married asap.

This could be easily gamed as the users could just commit to absurdly high amounts and never get married - while getting prioritized by the site.
Interesting to see another opinion. I love #FFF on #000 and I hate those low-contrast off-white + off-black "dark" themes like they are on codeberg and forgejo. Bonus trigger points if they have some color mixed in, e.g., #D4D4D8 on #171E26. I was always wondering why would anyone would do that.
Zipyphus: Zip Compressor for the Damned
Annoying article to read. Why swear so much?

Anyway. I used to believe this. Every few months I'd flip between dieting, and not dieting (putting on weight). When dieting, I'd go on a 500 calories restriction. This meant religious calorie counting, going to bed every night hungry, and generally being grumpy constantly. Waking up in the night because I wanted some toast or something and trying to work out if I could fit it into my budget. I got my daily calorie requirement down so well I could lose a pound a week reliably. But it was miserable.

Eventually, I'd meet a goal and start eating what I wanted again. And my weight would go up. And then I'd have to diet.

A shit life.

This year, I've started intermittent fasting (12/12), and every week or two I have a 36 hour fast.

I never feel hungry in between meals anymore, and even when fasting for 36 hours I only feel hungry for brief periods of the day.

If I knew this was possible in my early twenties I'd be so much better off today. Instead I listened to everyone online, don't care about what you eat just make it fit your macros. Reductionist bullshit in short. And in consequence my insulin was always up, always demanding more food.

However, to the author, I'm sure they feel good acting like everyone else is stupid. It all comes down to counting calories and people not trying hard enough right. Not fundamentally flawed advice at large on how to eat right, just pure moral failing.
Unreal isn't great for 2D games, and other small games that don't need all of its power. It's amazing and has unprecedented quality/perf, but being so powerful makes it hard for newbies to pick up.

Godot on the other end will be a perfect fit for what Unity is leaving behind. It's not only free, but OSS, and maintained by amazing people.
Don't see MPI. Can skip this article.
Actually use his Tiny C Compiler, which I was surprised to learn still works under Windows 98. (At least the 32bit version.)

Quite a leap. Break that one down...

> Sagan's teachings made it seem as if anyone could be a scientist. As long as a chain of reasoning made sense to you, then it was true!

How does Sagan give this impression? Namely that "as long as it makes sense to you, then it must be true."

And why is this analogous to the Reformation? Seems like a non-sequiter.
Jacobin is very good at taking a bad anecdote and performing a world-record high jump into conclusions.

This is counter-productive, the top brass responsible for this decision will never be close to danger, while normal employees having zero say in this bears the brunt of any harrassments.

>It's not only about Smart Devices, it's a direct shot at the Garmin ANT+ Ecosystem and capturing the fitness market.

I guess anything is possible, but as a Garmin and Apple fan I just don't see it happening. When the Apple Watch Ultra is bragging about 36 hour battery life, I don't see how they push Garmin out of the fitness market. Garmin watches measure their battery life in weeks (or MONTHS in low power mode) - I can't see my primary fitness device being a paper weight if I forget to charge it for one night.
I think many of the dating sites started that way. That's why they were better in the beginning. But eventually, they go public, or get acquired, and end up getting run by people who are bottom line focused.
I think Fabrice is what is known as 10x engineer. They do exist.

There is not only depth but also breadth in the projects he has created.
I’m wondering if that will be a paid option. That’s how the last stage of support for commercial OSes often works.
Building off of the idea in here, the margin user also underlies the explosion of software scale: the software itself (how can these apps be so big?) and the teams (why do they need so many people?).

When all that counts is gaining that N+1'th user, there's a strong incentive to pile on one-off features and special cases to ensure that every potential new user has a tailor-made first experience to hook them in. Facebook and Uber both lean heavily into this, for example.
And, if I'm reading the details correctly, it seems like it's going to push developers toward charging recurring subscription fees for their games. If I install a game 20 times in the span of a decade, the devs are being charged over the long term while I only paid once.

Unity suffers from an outdated and inefficient architecture, both in game logic and the rendering engine.

There have been multiple ambitious projects aimed at finding a more efficient way to process game entities, and more efficient ways of rendering them, but that has only resulted in a fragmentation of the ecosystem.

Despite spending countless millions on trying to stay technically relevant, Unity has been living on past merits.
Counter-counter-counter point: Reddit reached its heyday under the leadership that allowed people to leave and come back to discuss. Its current leadership has intentionally driven away a decent percentage of users within the last year.

I do not think their decisions come from sound thinking but greed. They don't truly understand why they got big and now they're trying to squeeze all the money out of it they can before their luck runs out.

I think they did much better trying to give their users a good experience and they are in the process of killing the goose that laid the golden eggs. It just takes a long time for a zombie social network to die.
My theory would be that as the market grows and matures and the mainstream offerings are refined, niche offerings are marginalized. Most people probably adapt to the mainstream even if they'd really prefer a somewhat smaller laptop for traveling given the 13" one is pretty light and refined. Some people will buy whatever phone is smallest but most won't.
Ironically (because related to Google), I feel that the constant churn of web development is what makes these older devices unusable.

I have several devices from early to mid 2010's, and the real reason these devices are annoying to unbearable to impossible to use (assuming Linux or Windows for security updates) is that they become very slow while just browsing the web or simply playing a video with a newer codec that has no hardware support on these older machines.

In my mind, this 10 years of updates is fantastic, but also not very practical towards the end of the support cycle. Better to have the option, though.
