I can thoroughly suggest that you revisit your assumptions post Unreal 5. Since it's current, I would suggest 5.3, but anything post 5 should do. There were plenty of improvements made that are well documented by Epic and many things have contributed to better runtime experiences across the board. You may still not be satisfied, but I can assure you that your current assumptions are out of date.

As far as "hacky workflow", I don't know what I said to make you believe that. The Unreal UI is a vector rendering process. Same as a browser's rendering context. Or most form designers like ImGUI or WinForm or Qt. I used the Unreal UI just like I used any of those APIs - using what they've already provided where it works and rolling my own controls were it doesn't. It's no different either in conceptual development or in literal programming routines than manipulating a website's DOM or a Canvas element with javascript. It is, in short, a 2D context; same as any other 2D context.
My understanding of ReadVersion is that the only point of calling it is to be able to read your own writes - so staleness wouldn't be good. There was another sibling comment that says the ReadVersion requests are batched up before hitting the sequencer, I could definitely believe that would work.

That’s an oversimplification and relies on the word “homeless” as an explanation and solution.

If the condition was called, “street living”, perhaps you would consider solutions that don’t solely address the lack of permanent dwelling, and instead look at why some people choose to live on the street.

Of course there are people whose problem is fundamentally lack of a home, in which case providing a home is the solution.

One cool feature that 6.1 kernel brings to Steam Deck is ability to limit the max charge of the battery straight via kernel by:

echo 80 > /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon4/max_battery_charge_level

You need to have the preview installed, or wait until they release it for GA. Preview need developer settings enabled and some other stuff I don't acutely remember. You can check your kernel version with `uname -a`, if it starts with 6, you are good to go.

Ironically both Schengen and the Euro are opt-in, as can be seen by not all members of the EU being members of one or the other.

Post-Brexit wrangling crystallized something for me: the EU should be seen as the venue for solving problems rather than the solution. Leaving the EU does not make problems go away, they still need to be resolved; (re)joining it does not solve problems either, but it provides a series of discussion and agreement mechanisms which can be used to solve them.

> we are just accelerating nature's own process

That is well put and also exactly my point. However, you are accelerating something, so there is an intervention. For some people this doesn't count as natural! The word 'just' in your sentence does a lot of work.

The line is, in fact, not always obvious. Would those seedlings have come there naturally? Or would it have been a different mix? If so, is the end result actually the same as would have happened without human intervention, or would it have been different? Maybe there are actually 50 or more species that could and would find a place in this biome.

You can say the same about exotic species, eventually most (or at least some) of them would have come here anyway - via birds for example, but its the pace at which they are introduced which makes all the difference. Well, is it a good thing then to introduce exotic species, after all its just accelerating nature's processes, or is it not? Evidently this one is not always only beneficial, so it depends.

The issue is the bar keeps moving on where it makes sense to switch from one approach to the other.

I recently implemented the Adaptive Radix Tree from https://db.in.tum.de/~leis/papers/ART.pdf in Rust. It defines explicit node types with different trade offs for search and memory complexity in order to improve overall performance and depending on prefix sparsity, etc; a 4-child node 16, 48, and 256. The 16 and 48 are kept sorted (the 256 has implicit sorting because it's just byte->child) so binary search can be used (with SIMD optimizations)

But in reality, my benching showed linear scan outperforms this fairly consistently and the cost of keeping the keys sorted is not justified (except that it makes ordered iteration easier, so that's the trade-off) -- but evidently did not at the time the paper was written (2016 I think?).

I'm sure there's plenty of examples like this, and I'm sure we're likely using datastructures all over the place that were built under the assumption that linear scan was expensive, and optimizations were added to hash or sort data and those optimizations may actually be hindering rather than helping.
> I looked at the software, it had two separate copies of the invoice calculation (separate for on screen and for printing to PDF).

That's actually kinda normal, in some industries.

For example, an amazon marketplace seller's warehouse management system might not be tightly integrated with Amazon's basket/checkout display logic.

In some situations the results of recalculating are supposed to be different. For example, if there's a "5% off when you buy 3 widgets" offer and you check out with 2 widgets in your basket, the offer doesn't apply. But if you checked out 3 widgets, thus getting the offer, then the seller found they were low on stock and could only send you 2, you should get the 5% discount on those 2.
I support that. I tried Flutter a few years ago, and I liked Dart and the Flutter way of defining the UI (compared to the old xml stuff in Android).

Then I moved to Kotlin + Jetpack Compose, and I don't see the point of Dart anymore.

It's funny, I used to work in the US for a germany company that had a similar process for many things, IT forms were pdfs that needed to be printed and hand signed, if you used an older version the form was rejected and you needed to fill out a new one. It appears to be a cultural thing.
Maybe my comment was poorly phrased. What I meant is: we arrived to a point where wealth is so much concentrated that, without connection to the happy few, life is miserable for regular folks. It should not be the case. You should be able to live in a relatively modest neighborhood and still go by because people living around you have enough money to hire you as a plumber or whatever. Working class folks' network is always going to be other working class folks.

Wealth is being concentrated in fewer hands and it is slowly destroying middle-class society fabric which modern liberal* democracy is based on (* as in 18th century liberal).

Not everybody can live in the hamptons.

Author here - yes, this is what I was getting at. The false promise of a rapid victory over the French via encirclement from the right flank (in the style of Hannibal) really was a major factor in justifying the risks of war for the German General Staff. And because Schlieffen was preoccupied with the idea that an ancient battle could be a model for that approach, it distracted from the now-obvious technological changes of the period (machine guns=defensive warfare) that made the approach impossible.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schlieffen_Plan
So a couple of points of clarifications

> specifically the battle of cannae, leading to world war one is pretty weak. I buy that German generals were obsessed with the battle,

So not just the German generals specifically Schlieffen. The Schlieffen plan developed by it's namesake general was the governing document for the German plan of battle at the beginning of WW1. Schlieffen spent his entire life trying to figure out the plan that would eventually be his namesake, and he was also obsessed with Canne, so I could see an argument that was a contributing factor. If schlifen wasn't obsessed with the double envelopment he is less likely to send troops through Belgium and no Belgium means no UK involvement leading to a very different war.

> Going to war is first and foremost a political act

That is one of the fascinating things about WW1 is there are times where it seems as if forces more than men were dictating things. At one point after mobilization and but prior to the actual invasion of Belgium the Kaiser wanted to stop things as he believed a peace deal was reached and was told no, not only no but that such a thing was fundamentally impossible at that point because the military plans laid out by the generals many years ago had dictated so precisely how things had to happen that any change to the plans was close to impossible once they were set in motion. The same thing happened in the Russian side the Czar issued orders for mobilisation then stand down then mobilization again and then one general smashed his telephone so that it could not be rescinded. I think they is part of what made WW1 the war it was, it was one ran primarily by and for the generals (until the later years) with the political officials deferring all power and authority to them.

One thing that makes me use a web-app rather than a native one on PC is that I know for a fact that the browser app will be very limited in tampering with my computer, something I'm not so sure about when installing native applications.

Often I see Nvidia's or Microsoft's or Discord's own services snooping in my installed applications, but it can go much further with, e.g., applications like grammarly that have access to my current buffer and clipboard virtually everywhere.

Another example, if I use Discord's web it has no real way of knowing what I'm doing on my PC, but when I used the desktop client, it showed and notified publicly half the world I was on Fortnite (even though, I was trying the Verse programming language in Fortnite's editor) which means that Discord tracks all of my activities on my computer.

Thus, honestly, I'd rather choose the web version of most applications 9 times out of 10, I simply have no clue what native applications know, do, and it's hard for me to debug what data they are sending and receiving, something that's quite transparent if I open the dev tools.

The internet is "sovereign" in the only way that matters: it's hard to enforce regulations.

A country is sovereign if it can keep other countries from enforcing their will within it's borders. That's clearly not a clean yes or no.

Any regulations that can be enforced, apply, and those that can't, don't. The government can decide who is allowed to lay cable where, but deleting information from the network is basically impossible.
The idea of homeless people as rootless resource consumers free and willing to migrate any distance for services is completely alien to the actual experiences and issues.

Almost half of homeless people have jobs. The "street homeless" are the visible tip of the iceberg but not representative. And even more importantly, almost all homeless people have family and friends, churches, AA meetings, coffee shops where they are welcome on rainy days, etc. These ties are just as important to them as they are to you, and they are just as reluctant to break them as you would be.

Surely people do move only for better access to services but I have never seen numbers on how many. More interestingly, in years of my own homelessness and later ties to those communities, I never met one who had.

> they represent subsets of the reals

Sure. My point is that this subset is useless. Because trying to add, subtract, multiply, or divide members of this set will result in a number outside the set.

> When you want to do exact calculations with floats, and you can, you just have to set yourself up so that the result is exactly representable, it's not as intractable as you make it seem.

In the general case, you absolutely cannot. Lets look at some examples.

In forex trading, you need 9 digits after the decimal place in the price. So right off the bat, a valid price like 1000000.000000001 cannot be represented by a float. If the exchange sends your system that price, your system is guaranteed to be wrong.

Lets say you start at a representable price, like 1000000.0 and want to tick it up or down by the tick size, say 0.025 . The result of that addition / subtraction is not representable, so you cannot calculate and round prices correctly.

If you don't have control of your inputs, and you need precision, floats will never work.
In places where the land is expensive, yes. But that's also largely where the people are, so it's helpful to build there too. You don't end up with a giant surface parking lot, because you get taxed the same whether you have a parking lot, or a 5-story parking structure.

> I was homeless on and off for many years. The cause of my homelessness was not having enough money to afford a home; not having enough money to afford the healthcare that would allow me to work consistently enough to afford a home. I find "capitalism" an effective, useful, and accurate enough shorthand for that cycle.

It's not terribly surprising that a lack of money could cause homelessness directly. But perhaps to the author.
"We should utilize the gains we get in increased computational power instead of wasting everything to inefficient software."

And yet, horribly inefficient scripting languages are a thing. To save time of 1 or 2 developers ONCE, at the cost of countless users' compute capacity, again & again for as long as that software is used.

As long as that is considered acceptable, your argument holds no water.

Current hardware is way, way, waaayy fast enough for 99.999% of uses. Hardened software or not.
All of the land is 100% owned, even the land that nobody ever uses. Nobody can use it - zoned off. There are no spots left to find and build a house somewhere. You're also not allowed to set up in a city - that's homelessness. You're not even allowed to plant seeds of food, that's illegal. The only way you are allowed to have a roof over your head or have food is when you pay someone for it, and it's all 100% already owned, you can't just go get it. How much should it cost? Hm, thousands of dollars every 30 days. Or you can get out of that if you pay hundreds of thousands up front for a mortgage and then property tax forever.
