They likely won't ever escape it. Unity entered the market as a free, batteries-included game engine. It rose to prominence in the indie community because it was free and it had a LOT of user-generated materials. Their whole brand has this foundation of being friendly to small developers. You take that away in even the smallest way and they have nothing to stand on.

By comparison, Epic didn't have that sort of baggage. They were a big company with a big engine made for big games. And over time they made that engine cheaper and more accessible to smaller devs.
1) If you do Slack, then I recommend you join the #openfeature channel on the CNCF Slack. The inviter is here: https://communityinviter.com/apps/cloud-native/cncf

2) The downside of rolling it out based on host is that you could refresh your page, hit a different host, and see the UI bouncing back and forth between versions. As long as you always plan to roll things to 100%, this is the perfect use case for a feature flag.

Apple's not on trial here. They're also on trial for the sorts of things you mentioned, as is FB.

It'll be interesting to see if the courts actually enforce the law, or if these cases get decided on political influence instead. Previous testimony in this case is pretty damning for Google, since it implies their ad business is built on multiple levels of fraud. That ought to be enough to get them to lose the case.

Time will tell. Happily, it's possible for all three of those players to be found guilty. It's not an either/or situation.

Headline is literally fake. Read the NAEP standards for basic and you’ll see “basic” level for fourth graders is well beyond fluency. Based on these standards it still looks bad, but to an untrained eye they seem wildly high for 10 year olds.

I don't like how Unity conducts their business, and I now actively distrust them, so it makes sense to add them to my list of "companies to avoid".

I don't want to support businesses that operate as they do. The intent isn't to punish developers, of course, but continuing to give money to a company that I don't want to support is asking more of me than I'm willing to do.

In the end, it's just me and my decision will have no effect on anybody. If enough other people also avoid Unity, then devs will have to adapt. That's just life.
Haven't had a chance to implement it, but this sounds rad. I never thought to use hover in userchrome.css!

Yea another odd thing with Unity is that since it was free and very accessible to small game makers, they were also heavily associated with shovelware. Maybe this is also an attempt to get away from that. I just don't see how they have the funds to weather through this shift though, their whole identity was being the small studio engine.
Developers were already moving away from Unity (at least traditional pc/console game publishers) months and years before this and this will only accelerate the decline.

I've been told that Unity remains one of the best engines for mobile development so maybe those folks will continue to linger around, but I think for everyone else it's accelerated their move to the exit.

Let's get a baseline for comparison. For example, how many climate tech startups, or tech startups in general, are "likely junk"? That would give us some helpful context.
Are the other 22 % certain junk?

The effects fundamentally do not seem offsetable. The offset industry is based on an idea that you can remove greenhouse impacts from your process without a significant impact on prices, and a corporation is somehow better positioned to donate to a fund than a consumer is. That's bullshit.
This is my personal experience, so YMMV, but the way I see it, the live voicemails/call screening is really only useful for random numbers that may or may not be spam calls. 9/10 times (or maybe higher) it's a spam call trying to sell me a car warranty, or scam me with a tech support thing. That other 1/10 it's something I care about, and it would be nice to be able to pick up immediately instead of having to navigate some phone menu when after they leave a voicemail and I confirm that I actually needed to talk to them. Businesses don't text generally, so you're left with live phone calls or voicemails. Having them say who they are and why they're calling is something you already do in a voicemail... so there's no difference.

For actual personal contacts... a text seems like it would be the easier method 99/100 times and I don't think call screening/live voicemail is better in almost any way for personal contacts. Why add some weird AI-interaction abstraction layer to conversation with your personal contacts?
This one is ridiculous. This should already exist. Until GitHub builds it, you can use GitHub Actions to kick your builds off but run them remotely on Earthly Cloud (https://earthly.dev/). Even the free tier includes arm64 remote runners.

The "current framework in antitrust policy" was not legal at all. It was a set of interpretations and standards agreed upon by judges and enforcement agencies.

In particular, the "consumer welfare standard" appears _nowhere_ in our current law. It is a framework that is used as a fig leaf to allow agencies to refuse to enforce the law as written.

You could probably reduce the "delay" by using a soundboard of pre-generated filler material and playing that while you type the real response. "Let me find that bookmark", "So the thing about that is...", "ummm yeah. so...", "hmmm no not really"

You can also use text macros to type the response faster. Here they were trying to get MFA access, so you could map longer phrases that will come up often like "Okta multi factor authentication" to numpad 1. Company name to numpad 2. IT supervisor name to numpad 3.

If you know the target of the conversation you can tailor what you pre generate. I like to mess with scam callers when I get one, and I've noticed some are using some kind of soundboard with a woman's voice (I'm pretty positive it is real and not AI) and they have a planned flow / script. If you try to deviate from the script they have some options to bring you back into it. If you ask them to repeat something you can notice it's the exact same audio snippet as before. If you accuse them of being a bot they have a few samples of the woman being shocked and mildly embarrassed. "Oh my goodness, do I really sound like a bot? No it's just been a long work day for me. I'm sorry about that."

Bullshit Asymmetry becomes a huge problem here. If I have to worry that every single thing is a lie or is otherwise going to kill me, I, and society at large goes on the defensive. This allows things like fascist leaders to get elected under the guise of protecting me from the 'big bad world'.

We are in for a lot of bad shit, and we can already see this unfolding in politics.
My problem with discourse in Portland is that all anybody wants to talk about is the history of these issues. Nobody actually has a plan for fixing them, much less the desire. That's kind of at odds with the history of the issues on the facade, right? When you dig in deep, many groups it used to impact now benefit from those policies in some way and want them around. Those people aren't boomers; they're a more diverse group of young millennials who are just coming into their own.

So we can sit around and talk about history and pop words like boomer off, but it ignores the reality of these problems today. We have an opportunity to come together as larger, more diverse (on multiple fronts) communities and decide what the future looks like, but most people are sitting on their hands making excuses for one reason or another.
It's interesting that you've gotten so many downvotes. The sad thing is that as things are progressing in the west, a large number of people won't have families or communities to lean on.
There are simply not enough letters in the latin alphabet to not have common intersection in writing.

Agreed. But yet... some of the approaches taken to deal with that can be wildly annoying. Actually, using the Greek letters is probably the best of the lot, since they are a completely different set of characters with known pronunciations.

OTOH, sometimes you'll see people use both upper-case and lower-case latin letters in the same problem, forcing you to read it in stilted language like "The derivative of Big X with respect to y, plus the integral of Little x ..." Aaarrgggh.[1]

And then you get the "stylized" letters, which are (mostly) just Latin letters, but have no obvious unique pronunciation or verbalization without going through contortions. I mean, what do you say for "𝔑" especially if there is also a "n" on the page? And who's even going to recognize these monstrosities unless you're already a mathematician: 𝔖, 𝔚, 𝖄? Aaarrggggghhh.

[1]: to be fair, you could have the same problem with mixed case of Greek letters, but I haven't seen that as a common problem. But maybe that's only because I'm not a mathematician. shrug
At a business roughly the size of the one OP is talking about, we shared the password with a small group of people and kept a hardware two factor authentication device locked behind a door accessible only to a different small group of people. The basic idea is that you'd need both someone with the password (usually technical leads) and someone with access to a secret spot in the office (generally someone in finance/accounting) to log in, and locking anyone out of the office would instantly ensure they had no access.

I don't think a solution like this works directly for the specific situation that OP describes, but I do think it's a good solution for an AWS root account at an organization of the size he is talking about.

I believe the debating part does not actually help in developing critical thinking. Instead, it helps you to express your opinion and listen to others. This part focuses on distributing and adjusting information, rather than being a process of learning critical thinking. The debates that occur internally (comparing viewpoints with facts) or arguing with yourself (or an imaginary opponent) are not equivalent to communicating thoughts externally, especially if arguing could potentially harm your future. I doubt that I have to provide any examples on the argument and the constraint that you have set.
John Oliver had a piece on that [0] over a year ago.

Exoscale – Building a multi-region cloud hosting platform with Clojure and Go
Neither is using macfuse as a stand in for overlayfs and bind mounts.

My point is "as fast as it gets" is using MacOS how MacOS is designed: ie, through sandboxing and not containerization that pretends the MacOS userspace is Linux. It's not Linux.

There is a fundamental trade off between isolation and performance. You cannot securely share resources without overhead.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed.

> I don't understand why C would care where you call it from.

The details here differ based on what kind of green threads you are implementing, but the core of it is, they're cheaper than regular threads because they do not use a normal stack. C expects a normal stack. Bridging this gap has a cost. You also have to manage the interaction between the GC and C, which can have a cost. If you're curious about specifics, one example of this is cgo: https://go.dev/src/runtime/cgocall.go Go has changed strategies here several times throughout its history (as did Rust when Rust had green threads), so you may find other information that's older as well.

This misses the point of how ROP works, and is in fact why previous attempts at ROP gadget reduction were flawed: it only takes a handful of gadgets to make a chain. Trying to protect control flow requires more sound approaches than this.
I think you’re viewing this completely backwards. With a more free and efficient public discourse the opportunity for disinformation and dehumanization is reduced.

Sure, some idiots on the internet will be saying x, y, and z, but that’s not very effective. It’ll only be roughly as effective as their claims are true. Historically these campaigns would be waged by groups with overwhelming culture-making powers, who could get away with campaigns that were much more divorced from reality: the church, the state, corpora media, etc. For those groups, the truth didn’t matter because they controlled society… they controlled the “Truth.”
It does make implementing a custom garbage collector harder though, maybe they could have come up with a compromise where there’s a way to walk over local variables on the stack but instead they’re building GC into the runtime, which is also a good solution but having both options might have been nice because a custom one can be more flexible and supported by runtimes that don’t have GC

The way I'd in principle want to solve this problem (controlling access to root-level resources that don't support delegation) would be with some kind of "escorted remote access" system, wherein an authorized set of people can remotely log into a special browser session that's able to act as the root user, but only with another authorized party watching and monitoring the session and able to kill it, so that no one can act unilaterally. Unfortunately, I'm presently unaware of any off-the-shelf software that does this; I've been vaguely thinking about doing it as an open source side project.
The fascinating thing to me is all this revenue is essentially a direct consequence of market share.
