Hey hey! Thank you! Godot supports importing GLTF and other formats that we export, so you can basically use our tool (https://app.anything.world/animation-rigging), export a GLTF and import it in Godot.

Right now we only have plugins for Unity and Unreal, so you would have to create your own controllers in Godot. But having the rigging/animation already gives you a good start!

And please, share the details of your game project with us, we love to support indie game devs!

Reimbursement from government for expenses related to accessibility, or the government hiring personal assistants for handicapped people. If the government cannot handle it, then I do not see why millions of businesses with varying levels of liability would handle it.

At its root, anytime I see the government mandate something but foist the costs on the private sector, it is to pay lip service without actually ponying up the funds. Which is not only the politicians’ fault, because voters will vote for low taxes every time, even though the high level of services is not deliverable with such low taxes.

Hey there, my name is Gavin. I'm 22 and have been doing programming and web development for almost seven years now, a little over two of those being professional experience. I'm a former D1 lacrosse player at Syracuse (Go Orange!) where I studied computer science. I'm primarily a backend software engineer with a passion for API design and application optimization. I love to grind, and I'm looking for a fast paced environment with a team I can grow and thrive with. I appreciate your consideration!

Consumerism is going to be a difficult battle to fight.

One small way software engineers can try to fight it though is by trying to reduce electronic waste through having a well-maintained high-quality polished Linux distro for mobile phones, so that we’re no longer forced to suffer a lack of software updates due to a “end of life” determined by the manufacturer.

This whole piece is remarkably silly depending on perspective. I mean I get it, China bad, sure. But when the author says "hospitals" ,"bridges" and such I think he does get that they exist in a place of desperation and poverty but can't seem to actually appreciate what that means. Not borrowing internationally, owing China money, poor quality constructions, chinese imported labor and conflicts with locals are all nothing when you consider just how bad poverty is. It's something.

It's like rich people telling poor people to stop getting avocado toast in the US.

Given China's hostility, you would think europe and america would wake up and get past their moral high grounds but having someone to look down on is hell of a drug.

Starving and impoverished people don't want a lecture on democracy and human rights.

To me, the most terrifying thing is considering how much of this democracy and human rights I enjoy here is dependent on our economy and military being #1.
Huh? How so? The i5 10th gen nuc (the last gen "performance" model to be offered in Europe officially) was €350. Even if you add storage and memory you got one sorry bit of laptop for that money.

Yeah it's an essential part of the "guilt economy" for products to advertise marginal improvements to environmental metrics via their purchase. People want to feel they are better people by using A if it is X% less evil than B, and will pay a premium for A. Something funny about it is that as long as environmentally better products are more expensive, poverty will always be implicitly demonized.

> Using a credit card isn't very abstract.

To use a credit card responsibly you need to understand the concept of exponential growth, or you might accidentally turn a manageable $500 debt into a burdensome $5000 debt. Same goes for understanding good debt (mortgages) vs bad debt.

It might not be solving a polynomial per se, but I don't see how you get to understanding exponential equations without at least understanding algebra.

> Would this work for an entirely new symbol I invent today? It's not really the Unicode people that are "difficult" here as such, they just ask for demonstrated usage, which is entirely reasonable, and that's hard to get (or: harder than it was before computers) especially for casual usage.

Sure, they want demonstrated usage as inline in the flow of text as textual elements as opposed to purely iconography or design elements (because such things are outside of Unicode's remit, modulo some old Wingdings encoded for compatibility reasons and the fine line between emoji are expressive text and also emoji are useful for iconography in many cases). But at this point (again in contrast to the UCS-2/no-Astral-plane days) the committees don't seem to care how it was mocked up (do it on a chalkboard, do it in paint, do it in LaTeX drawing commands, whatever gets the point across) or how "casual" or infrequent the usage is, so long as you can state the case for "this is a text element" (not an icon!) used in living creative language expression. There's more "provenance" requirements for dead languages and they'll want some number of academic citations, but for living languages they've come to be flexible (no hard requirements) on the number of examples they need from the wild and where those are sourced from. Showing it in old classic documents/manuals/books, for instance, helps the case greatly, but the committees today no longer seem as limited to just what can be used to demonstrate usage. "I just like it" is obviously not a rock solid proposal/defense to bring to a committee (any committee, really), but that doesn't mean that is impossible for the committee to be swayed by someone making a strong enough "I just like it" case if they demonstrate well enough why they like it and how they use it and how they think other people will use it (and how those uses aren't just iconography/decorative elements but useful in the inline context of textual language).

Not the dev but i know for me it mostly comes down to not reinventing the wheel, and it allows for a lot easier ability to scale while also allowing for free operation as well for indies.

Turso: Has insanely large free level and means no need to run your own DB(though you can run your own sqlite locally), their free tier even just got drastically expanded.

Clerk: 5000 free users, not having to deal with your own authentication.

Resend: Avoids dealing and managing mail, and dealing with spam filtering etc, i dont know if they allow just using an internal smtp, but seems ok given 3,000 mails per month.

Tinybird, i don't know enough about but also has a free plan...

So mostly i'd imagine most of these aren't about paying for third party platforms, its about offloading tasks you don't want to worry about implementing yourself, and that also give you the ability to scale outside of the small initial deployment for cost.

My variolation example above was only a very specific, very antique context of something that did involve live virus but wasn't considered true vaccination as we use it today. However, even today the basic reality is that some vaccines do involve live viruses or other pathogens in a weakened state. This doesn't make them dangerous in any general sense.

And that live pathogens are sometimes used should be known and discussed for the sake of clinical honesty and public health transparency. Either way, for any deeply dedicated anti-vaxxer, it probably wouldn't matter what they hear from even the best source. Once one's fixation on a concept becomes emotional or ideological, the subtleties and details of explaining contrary details stop mattering to them.

The website can offer their CSS, and I can load my CSS (greasemonkey scripts) to override it. They have the choice and so do I.

Why should we do that? Maybe Facebook is a victim. Their services were used for serious crime, in violation of their terms. The mobile internet is powerful. If any given community can't be trusted with mobile internet, that's not the fault of mobile internet. All the other concerns such as market dominance and cornering the market, are for sure dubious and sleazy in all the usual ways. But not "genocide level" unethical.

> Is it a good idea to do multiple passes when asking for code?

Probably. However, I see their point when it comes to articles; having used it to duplicate writing styles. Having it kick off the beginning without a planned out ending and just having it ramble on is just asking for crap, whether it be from an LLM or a graduate student writing a paper.

I'm not saying it should be obvious because I only learned this from trial and error. It just won't compose an article with a deliberate structure if you ask it to just start writing it. It'll ramble and pack it with filler, in my experience. It'll also make frequent use of ineloquent and unnecessary transition clauses, such as "Finally,", or "Subsequently,", or "On the other hand," unless each paragraph is made independently and zooms out while following an outline. There might be another way, but telling it to just write the first chapter of a new James Joyce novel is just asking for rambling crap. On the other hand, asking it rewrite the first 5 pages of another novel in James Joyce's style with example writing given in-context will yield something much more coherent.
The carbon footprint of an LLM writing a ton of useless corporate email is much lower than the all in footprint of employees writing these useless emails themselves.

Look up "Han Unification" - Unicode reuses codepoints for characters from Chinese and Japanese (also traditional Korean, but those characters aren't really used in modern Korean so it's much less of an issue), even though these characters actually look quite different. So any given font will look wrong in either China or Japan. Since China is the larger market, almost all "international" applications plump for a font that looks right in China and wrong in Japan.

Games aren't really 100 hours though, they're still generally 40-60 hours with side content that's usually mind numbing.
I desperately wanted Kagi to be my new search engine, but alas, no dice. At the end of my 100 search trial I wasn't even sure it was a practically better option than DDG. And believe me, I tried: I even coerced myself to stop adding !g and made it my browser's default search engine. Sometimes the results were good, and it reliably searched for what I asked it to, which is nice. OTOH though, it felt like it didn't have a deep index and, when I searched for things that were obscure but I knew existed, I sometimes found myself needing to try DDG and Google after.

Unfortunately, before being concerned about carbon footprint, the product needs to come first. I have no idea how an actually good search engine can be profitable and sustainable without ads and tracking, but it doesn't do any good to have a lower carbon footprint than your competitor if you're dead in ten years.

Surely eventually, something will happen. Someone will have a breakthrough moment. As of now, all that's happening in my view is that Google is getting so much worse that it just lowers the expectations for competitors. Maybe eventually it will get so bad that you may as well never use it, but that's not exactly a fantastic outcome.

Is building a good search engine and index from scratch in 2023 simply infeasible? I know Google went through great pains to optimize their index and had a couple novel tricks for ranking results... but the internet is infinitely more massive in every dimension, despite the death of literally libraries of useful blogs, forums and topic-specific websites, and now it seems even Google, with their massive budget, is struggling to deal with SPAM on top of ruining the search experience in general. It's easy to just blame enshittification, because duh, but I wonder if more specifically, the Internet is literally just collapsing under the weight of its own growth and an increasingly weak signal to noise ratio.
A browsers first priority should always be to give the best USER experience and not let developers dictate what features are available on a specific website to maximize profits or whatever they are up to, they should not be able to deny the user a feature the is GENERAL PURPOSE.
It sounds like a generic length function in Unicode in 2023 is no longer a good idea. These articles complaining about the variety of lengths in Unicode are annoying at this point.

To clarify a bit, as this used to be my field when I was an academic...

"Computational Social Science" is a slightly cumbersome term introduced in 2009 [1] that essentially corresponds to using Data Science/Machine Learning/Statistical Mechanics/etc techniques to study questions typically addressed by social scientists. Stuff like:

- Epidemic modeling using cell phone traces

- Social Media data to analyze linguistic trends

- Wikipedia talk pages to analyze consensus formation

- etc...

A somewhat less kind definition is "Physicist cum Data Scientists doing Social Science". You can checkout some of the leaders in the field on Google Scholar [2]

The title is editorialized, and the CO2 data is just garbage. Trying to estimate the CO2 footprint just from the transfer size makes no sense.

Drilling through the links to the source[0], their methodology is to take the estimated total energy use of the Internet (networking, servers, clients) and divide it by the estimated volume of end user traffic in the Internet, and multiply it by the worldwide average CO2 emissions / unit of energy. And that is supposed to give them a meaningful CO2-per-byte measure.
