It's difficult to tell if this is the result of bad management forcing the company to enact a poor market strategies or sabotage.

Developers can invest a significant amount of time and resources building tools, supporting systems and workflows around these engines that aren't necessarily portable to other engines. There is also a significant time investment in learning the API, engine internals, and nuances of operation. Disrupting revenue streams so aggressively for the licensees is only going to result in breaking trust between Unity and their customers, driving them away permanently. They can also forget about taking on any new customers as few will be willing to move to a platform which tries to aggressively limit their choice of income model.

While Unity has filled a niche in it's usefulness, there are much better offerings (either higher or lower on the spectrum of capabilities) for other proprietary engines and a few under-featured free engines. They are not irreplaceable.

I do feel bad though for all the Unity developers that are having to deal with this but at the same time I think that many might have anticipated something like this would happen for some time.
Stop being rude. For the third time, I posted a legitimate inquiry how the set of people using 'VAX' in the now-niche sense 'retrocomputing' manage to handle the SEO namespace for 'VAX' since 2020 being overrun with unrelated posts about vaccines and all sorts of partisan political theories.

Like I said, an inquiry for "Can I see a VAX in a museum?" these days gives zero relevant top hits on e.g. Reddit.

(This question is analogous to what happened to many existing businesses or brands that contained the name 'ISIS' in 2013.)
Meanwhile i'm trying to figure out if any city in the us is willing to ban cars. I can't think of any other factor that lowers the quality of life in cities that even comes close to them.
Maybe the people share some responsibility here? Seems like Apple tried again and again but none of the pretty powerful tools attracted enough following to be worth maintaining. If they did, they would be improved with every release and fix early shortcomings.

By contrast, MS-DOS batch files were far from powerful, but everyone had a few to automated repeated daily tasks. Seems to be just loss of any willingness to do a little upfront work for long term time savings.
Seems like he just wants everyone to have a 32 hour work week. Don't think he suggested actually accounting for it. More of a "if we going to be even more productive, let's work less"

Sadly you left out a zero: even a Toyota Camry is a hundred square feet so you’re probably at 150 when you allow space on the sides and buffer zones.

It's probably because every engineer spends as little time as possible on it, since it's boring af. It's annoying & boring to implement, and once it's done, annoying to everyone that sees it.
No, it actually won't.

There is nothing that a driver would do that an automated taxi would not, because both the driver and the automated taxi are optimizing for their ability to give as many rides as possible for as much money as possible.

The main reason to think their behavior would differ is on the margins where drivers have to go home and sleep and robotaxis do not. But that really makes it likely that a robotaxi service will keep its cars out 24/7 except for maintenance.

The other reason to believe drivers and robotaxis will behave differently is if you think drivers are leaving money on the table, or robotaxis will. And Silicon Valley simply does not leave money on the table. I'd be more ready to believe the drivers do.

There's another other factor here: when you make cars more available and more convenient, people are more likely to take them. So robotaxis will probably increase, not decrease, road usage, if only because they never need to sleep, eat, or go to the bathroom. They will just repeatedly get a fare, drive the fare, and go do whatever they do to be idle. Which, in many cities, is going to be "wander the streets" or "take up parking spots in the city center".

EDIT: I had responded to this without reading the OP article. The article has some good discussion of the kinds of secondary effects that are likely to cause robotaxis to increase road consumption.
Not true in the US, the market in question for TFA. Beef cattle are mostly raised on feed lots, fed by crops specifically grown as cattle feed, such as alfalfa. My understanding for US beef is that it's something like 80% from feed lot, 20% pasture.
While the Hypercard discontinuation in 2004 can be viewed as petty, that was quite late in its life. I think this article neglects many of the developer gifts that came back into the Apple fold via the NeXT merger which Steve Jobs can legitimately take some credit for. Cocoa was a major development which is completely ignored here. Also, the evolution of the World Wide Developer's Conference, and its supporting materials is not covered in the article as well.

I make a "Mediterranean" version of this with olive oil and I cut up some chilies and just let them soak. Completely different use case than an Asian chili oil IMO... but a little bit easier to do as you don't need to heat the oil (and you probably wouldn't want to heat olive oil that much anyway).
The problem of "but my pointless job!" Always has the second part missing, which is "the economy is down a payng job and the displaced family still needs food on the table". If the government offered to meet people's basic needs in these situations (no, the current unemployment system is not sufficient), I bet the complaints would stop.

Hell, I bet the Luddites from back in the day wouldn't have minded the technological progress if they had their needs met otherwise.
I was mainly arguing against golang. As for Kotlin, given the incredible work that has been done in Java recently, the argument is that there isn't much reason to switch over anymore, due the introduction of more moving parts into the project (another dependency, compiler, room for issues, etc.) and the fact that Java ended up with the superior approach (better/fully fledged pattern matching, virtual threads, programmable string templates, etc.).
Tiddly wiki’s super powerful killer feature is “Transclusion” + “Scripting”. Even eMacs org mode lacks this to be easily usable .

I wish somebody would just take the Js library that powers tiddly wiki and add / fix these issue.

A lot of elites hate transit and bike infrastructure: it’s not something they’d use personally, benefits people who are poorer and browner than they are, and they’re usually old enough to see cars as a sign of freedom and status. Those people really wanted to believe self driving cars and deregulated cabs would allow them to justify not investing in transit because that frees up money to spend on the transportation mode they use.
Is it moving a goal post if I'm just going off on a tangent from one simple remark? I'm just going on a tangent of something I find fascinating as a thought experiment, what will things look like when we can have isolated AIs in our pockets without needing connectivity? The reason I want this is because you could leave your house for a long roadtrip, and have an AI companion that never loses a step. Imagine if your AI had every road memorized and nuances about them, so if GPS signal dies, you can still keep going.

Sidenote, ChatGPT uses tens of thousands of GPUs to run its architecture, I think it'll take a little more than just some laptop.

Thank you for answering though :) I do think its an invaluable goal to have off-line first AI.
It is hard to do. I've tried it. The person/people that originally made Controlnet was pretty amazed at how well Photoshop's works.

Let's use an example of something I've done in Photoshop. Here's (roughly) how the image would be tagged: Bridal party, inside a mansion, stairs behind them. Now I try to get rid of table that's to the side that's in front of a window. What do you think will happen with those tags? It's surely not going to correctly put half of a window and then half of a wall, like it should be. I might get some bridal party, some stairs, etc.

If you just tag the area I'm trying to get rid of it's going to be something like "wood table, window, photograph." Same issue.

yeah it' annoying... but you used to do it over mail or in person. You can still do it in person easily. previously you'd mail in and find out 2 weeks before that yes you can fly in and do that 2 week trip. Not really actionable either unless you live there.

I'm not sure what they want... the real crime is that the recreation.gov site is fucking slow as shit and lacks many options for quick searching requiring you to hunt and peck through sites.

Conceptually I understand the motivation. But trying to figure out how to express it frustrates me so much that eventually I just gave up.
Do you think that people would be on the road _less_ if everyone were using taxis instead of personal cars? If so, why? What's the actual reason why robotaxis reduce the demand, or consumption, of road miles?
I think we all agree that there should be a unified and standardized way of submitting applications, something that passes all company's systems and also as an applicant you sure your resume is not botched somehow. Ironic how all these developers who build all these very complicated systems, APIs, architecture, you name it, can’t even make a proper system so it makes their life easier the next time they apply for a job, or even when their system receives many resumes.

Keep in mind, that after all this chaotic process, these resumes will pass through a mostly-lazy HR department, so the whole process is a failure built on top of failure.
That’s fine but if you are a note taking nerd ( I mean it positively) you should 100% try it out so you understand how powerful it would be if it just had a little more support saving changes.
That doesn’t match my experience at all. I agree with you that it should “just work” and you shouldn’t have to think about it, but do you have a contact for yourself saved, and have you set it as your “me” contact in Settings>Contacts>My Info?
Fascinating.

Working in the ecosystem around Siemens NX, I think it's just all of dev work in the field being very use-case specific. Development happens in tandem to big customer projects, so I'd guess non-pro drivers were not just not optimized for, but were simply never on the devs machine in the first place. Maybe they use some feature, that is locked away in non-pro drivers, emulated in standard drivers.

Stuff like 64-bit double precision. I don't even know, is that still locked away behind pro drivers?

> For context, PRQL's Readme specifically states

Be honest. If a different project touted itself as a standard and a firm foundation on its public website but had this disclaimer on the source repo's README file, what would your thoughts be?

While you may categorize my responses as reactionary—and they very well may be—can you really claim unbiased objectivity on your part?

For example, JS and C# have ECMA. SQL, C, and C++ have ISO. POSIX has IEEE. All have multiple implementations by different organizations. The term "standard" has a clear, well-defined meaning in computing with a long history. Your response was to handwave it away as "meaning multiple things." Whether de facto or de jure, the appellation in PRQL's case simply does not apply.

I appreciate that you are not obligated to read and respond to every internet comment. When you do respond however, bear in mind that dismissing clearly defined definitions of industry terms like "stable" and "standard" is not an unbiased position.

I am not aggrieved. You asked for critical and constructive feedback. I laid out plainly where I believed the messaging was incongruous from the point of view of someone not intimately involved with PRQL and how I felt it should be changed to better fit its role in the data ecosystem. I didn't call for the project's elimination or even call into question the need for improvement over the existing state of SQL. Take of that what you will.
This already exists in the form of a gas tax and road use taxes (registration). NIMBYs get in the way of building the lanes that already have demand and funding.

Extending it further really just ends up as a restriction on the movements of the poor.
You can already do it with Photoshop/Krita/whatever plugins, but it won't work nearly as well. Adobe's version is incredible at understanding the photo or art, the style, and inpainting exactly what should be there without any prompt at all.
> Having a 100% automated driving system will fix traffic.

How? If we replace every car driven by an individual with a car driven by machine… you’re left with the same number of cars. Just as much traffic. Still need all the roads. And parking lots unless the cars drive more to avoid parking.

Better for the environment? I don’t see it. Every car taken off the road (including EVs!) is less polluting. Less fuel. Less maintenance. Less pavement needed. Less particle emissions from wearing down tires. Moving people to walking, bikes, busses, subways, whatever is better than individual cars.

More time in your day because you’re not driving during your commute? What if we set things up so you don’t have to commute so far? Or at all. Either one would be better even with automation driving for you.

Between the pandemic’s changes in traffic patterns and seeing other cities around the world change I’ve come to the realization we could have so much more than what we have today but with robots driving for us. We can ask for more. We can change more than one thing at once.

And what we do doesn’t have to be decided by a tech company just doing something. That may not be the best policy. It may be a waste of money. It may be a real part of the solution!

We can want more. Instead robotaxis are clogging streets and blocking ambulances and we’re celebrating “progress”.
Don’t most home internet packages specifically forbid running home servers? They don’t seem to enforce it anecdotally, but annoying that they could technically shut you down at any moment with no notice unless you buy a business plan. I’m in the US and I’ve only had access to two different ISPs though and only ever one at a time, so no way to shop around.
This is sheer genius. The Javascript stuff was new to me too.
This reminds me of a meme I saw recently where an American emails his European colleague boasting that the latest reporting shows, yet again, that America is leading Europe in every economic measure.

> Overall interest in computing freedom seems to have declined from where it was a couple decades ago.

Did it decline, or did the demographics change? Us old-timers are probably still as interested in computing freedom as we were back then, but there are a lot of new people entering the computing world, whose first (and perhaps only) experience with computing was with more closed systems like modern smartphones (and even desktops nowadays are more closed than they were back then).

As someone who frequently books campgrounds at the county, state, and national level, Recreation.gov provides by far the best user experience for browsing sites on a map and viewing calendar availability that I've encountered. Its fees don't seem noticeably higher than fees I encounter on other government booking systems. Maybe I'm being naive, but it doesn't seem too important to me that Booz Allen is collecting some of its payment as a part of booking fees rather than directly from government contracts. A government website that works this well seems worthy of praise to me!

That works if most other people don’t have cars. Once they do, you’re not moving, you’re part of a traffic jam and the freedom promised in the car commercials is really the freedom to spend that time realizing much of your life, money, and health you’re spending to enjoy that quality traffic time.

Similarly, people do want to travel but not endlessly - they want to meet their friends, spend time with family, work, shop, etc. Americans conflate those with driving long distances because much of the country was architected around that lifestyle, but millennials flocked back to the cities because they realized the advantages of not needing to travel so much. Time sitting in traffic kind of sucks compared to just about anything else, and living somewhere you can do the things you want on foot, bike/scooter, etc. is worth a lot.

It's good to see investigative journalism still alive in small blogs like this, but at the same time it is rather sad once you realize it gets drowned in an infinite supply of ragebait and never ends up being acted upon.
There's a bit of critical thinking that I'd suggest makes the distinction moot here:

Unity could have said 'listen', and given the insane mismatch between their past actions and the current rather predictable response, there'd be precious little comfort the sentence "We Have <Either> You" could provide compared to whatever their next actions are.

With all your research I'm sure you've come across this concept in the often quoted form: "actions speak louder than words"

(And for posterity, they even said they're listening: they just don't open with it...)
I’d love to see some of the east, where there were cities built long before cars that have some of the public transit infrastructure necessary, to start doing what Paris and other places have done by removing cars from streets and replacing them with walkable parks and neighborhood shops and gathering places.

More like they used to be.

New York, Philadelphia, Washington DC, there’s plenty of places that could do it. They could prove the concept.

I don’t see how it would work in a city like Dallas or LA as they exist today. They would try and it would be deemed a failure and never tried again.

But successful trials in a few very dense places could really start to show the benefits and maybe we could start bringing it to other cities, even those more traditionally spread out.
My thoughts on reading this were a little bit "that's a nice lucritive contract and revenue stream that Booz Allen has exclusive access to" but mostly "if the U.S. Government were to try do do this themselves, it would have been another healthcare.gov fiasco and cost twice as much as Booz Allen is taking"

Super fun idea!

I played a few games with myself, but noticed that the "Game over" message does not stop the game? Is it supposed to keep going after the king dies?

Also, I think some kind of legend would be very helpful. I was unsure what the lettering system meant, "w", "l", and "o". I get they are related to the rules, but was unsure what. I see in the code you have an epilog text, but I never saw that displayed when running the game, I think it would be helpful to see it while playing.

Finally, what rule dictates which pieces are born?
