"The last remaining draw calls are used to render all of the different UI elements, both the ones that are drawn into the world as well as the more traditional UI elements like the bottom bar and other controls. Quite a lot of draw calls are used for the Gameface-powered UI elements, though ultimately these calls are very fast compared to the rest of the rendering process. "

With this minimalistic, flat-style soulless UI, the correct number of draw calls spent on UI should be single digits....
Well not necessarily. My markdown doesn't have a single target. I write articles in my markdown editor, but I export them via Pandoc with a simpler output that I then style on my website. When I said for testing new parsers I imagined benchmarking against a particular existing one, or even just making sure it didn't crash. To me there more interesting would be to collect markdown from many different writers to compare the features they use/don't use and things like that.

In [1] the author, who is a doctor, "... plead(s) for recognition that fever may be used as a non-specific treatment of flu. The fever is not just an unpleasant symptom of flu but a crucial part of the body's defence mechanism that should be encouraged".

He generalizes this beyond just influenza:

"Infectious organisms are adapted to the temperature of the part of the body they colonise, so it follows that they will grow best at that temperature. Rhinoviruses, which infect the cooler upper airway and sinuses, grow best between 33° C and 35° C, so inhaling air at about 45° C for 20 minutes will much improve the symptoms of a common cold.2 Conversely, treating the common cold with aspirin causes an increase in the rate of production of the virus."

The author summarizes:

"A famous 17th century physician, Thomas Sydenham, said, “Fever is nature's engine which she brings into the field to remove her enemy.” The public and the medical profession have still not realised the full importance and potential of this statement."

> A brief glance at the JS bundle reveals that they are using React and bundling using Webpack. While this is something that is guaranteed to make the average native development purist yell at clouds and complain that the darned kids should get off their lawn,

When I first heard of this as being a thing, my initial reaction was indeed something like "wait what? HTML and CSS in a desktop PC game driving the UI? No, that shouldn't be ... ".

But then I used Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, was amazed by the graphics and performance ... and learned about how the complex and detailed cockpit gauges are using WASM/HTML/JS for rendering. No React, but still the "web technologies".

It dawned on me that this is apparently not exactly the weird, strange, bad performing, wrong-use-case, "why would you ever" thing I originally saw it as. Because it was working fine in that complex scenario.

You are not wrong. Eg the original Maxwell equation is so ugly (I think 20 of them) but the ones that are taught nowadays looks so elegant.

The language is important. The more you “understand” something, the simpler it is (over simplification here.) eg I would not consider the Einstein equation expanded out to be natural after understanding it. (Well Maxwell’s equation can be summarized in 1 single elegant equation as well.)

But the reason I’d consider that optics formula to be monstrous is that no matter how you group it into smaller pieces (ie refactoring it), there’s no way to hide the fact that it is not elegant at all. There’s no “understanding” there, it is just so happen the exact solution looks like that.

To put it that way then, often fundamental “master equation” are simple in some ways, but exact solutions to some particular manifestation of that master equation is often quite ugly and monstrous. In that sense then rather than quoting Einstein equation I’d quote its solution eg one with mass and spin and electric charge.

P.S. the solution of quartic equation is also a good example of this category

It sounds like these issues are relatively fixable. It's a classic victim of the Unity engine's tech debt though. I use Unity myself and they desperately need to decide on how they want people to make video games in their engine. They can't have three rendering pipelines and two ways of adding game logic that have a complicated matrix of interactions and missing features. And not great documentation and a bad bug reporting process.

Not sure what kind of projects you've worked on before, but the ones I've been involved in, you wouldn't spend time optimizing something taking <1% of render time when other parts are heavily affecting the final render time for each frame.

Why on earth would they try to optimize how the UI renders when they're having big issues elsewhere?
Two corrections:

1. If you look at recent Treasury auctions, 30-year TIPS are actually yielding 1.5%, not 1.3% (https://treasurydirect.gov/auctions/announcements-data-resul...).

2. In reality, you have a finite lifetime, so you can spend down the principal. Suppose you are 30 years old (about the youngest I could imagine this being possible), and that you plan on living to 100 (most people don't). That's 70 years. If you do the math, and use the 1.5% rate, it works out that you only need $43k, not $77k, to hit that $1k/yr number.

How about a £10 note? Does that have value? Does it depend on whether you're in the UK? Does it's value change depending on the availability of a money changer?

You absolutely can tax things with no value and poof, they suddenly have value. Everyone can now attach a real value to that thing dependent on how it will allow them to satisfy their tax obligations. Indeed, fiat currency has value precisely because of the tax obligations it can be used to satisfy.

I would argue that UE5 is even less suited to a game like this than Unity is. Unreal certainly has impressive rendering tech, and it has designs towards increasingly becoming a generalist engine, but it is clearly designed with certain genres in mind (i.e. 1st and 3rd person games like RPGs, Shooters, Action games, etc.). A city-builder in UE5 would present a whole host of other challenges, and many of the high-tech rendering features would likely be overkill. Not to mention, Unreal games have notorious performance issues of their own--though there is dedicated effort to resolving those.

Unity is designed more as a general engine, but it comes with a lot of baggage in terms of half-baked features and optimization difficulties. As the author mentions they really unlocked their potential with implementation of Unity's ECS framework, but they were still chained to Unity's rendering tech, which has been underdeveloped for several years now.

My observation tends to be that simulation games are the ideal case for custom engines. While there are some commonalities across games, compared to many other game genres, they don't get a lot of benefits from standardizations. Sim games often end up kneecapped by trying to conform to existing engine frameworks instead of spinning up something optimized to the way their systems work. It requires a lot more technical know-how than an action-adventure game or a platformer, and the up-front cost to developing your own tech is an order of magnitude compared to using out-of-the-box solutions. I think with the massive success of C:S, Colossal Order was in an excellent position to try something ambitious.

Maybe with open-source tools like Godot having more flexibility in their frameworks, where you can just get the parts you want (rendering approach, etc.), it'll be easier in future to develop more specialized custom tech for games.
> I think the core is that a lot of people have a problem with admitting someone they dislike had a pretty sensible idea.

According to the Engadget article, Tesla PR (which did exist at that time) said "although the company is indeed offering to share its charging and adapter specifications with other manufacturers, on the conditions described above, this won't necessarily involve sharing patents."

Key excerpt: "Won't necessarily involve sharing patents."

Which might not cover your entire point about intellectual property (copyright, trademark). Also the article at time of writing suggested the details hadn't been finalized yet, so there's room for your side of the argument there as well.

It's hard to find a foothold. Human output doesn't have this restriction. Further, it feels like regulating solar power so coal miners can keep their jobs.

Just banning it or regulating output may seem like a solution to some, but all that means is that we'll cripple ourselves so other, more technologically progressive economies can sprint past us in affected markets. Neither saving the jobs in the end, and ultimately hurting more people than the markets we tried to save.

But we do desperately need to sort out how this is going to devastate entire markets of labor before it risks major economic upheaval with no safety nets in place.
