I have over ten years experience with Unreal, so the cost of switching engines would be very high, and must offer something irresistible in return.

Regarding your second question: Unreal effectively has no licensing fee for most developers. The engine is free, you get access to the full source code, and you pay a 5% royalty only after you have made $1 million gross revenue.
Develop on a Hackintosh (either bare metal or VM, there's more than enough guides for both), build using Github Actions, and that's it. If you want to stay fully legit, rent a Mac instance from AWS or the myriad "Mac-as-a-Service" companies and be done with it.

You might need more elevator banks per floor, though - a high capacity office building usually has more worries about routing the elevators and might have extra banks on middle floors that you switch to, etc

I would definitely expect the elevator set up to be complex in a 90 floor building.

LOL, far better adjusted and capable than who?

Because all I see in Europe are shambling corpse nations where 40-year-olds still live in their parent's home because they can't find a job or, if they have a job, cannot afford rent in the midst of a slow xenophobic right-wing/nationalist takeover of most of the continent.
Intelligence, a historical time-jumping sci-fi play in which Ada Lovelace, inventor of computer software and AI pioneer struggles to be recognised in a male dominated world. The piece is set in 1840s London, 1940s America and 1980s Silicon Valley.
I have a suspicion that Tesla FSD / Vision is "cooking the books" so to speak. The fact they have an Elon mode, they probably focus on his day to day trips heavily.

All the influencers and YouTubers who use it experience month over month improvements, and its able to navigate their tests pretty well.

Meanwhile, here in my smaller city it has had the same problem driving on city streets for 3+ years. I report the issues but no improvement has been made, and in some cases there are regressions in performance.

These issues include:

1. Left turn with multiple lanes will attempt to turn too sharply, resulting in it turning into the other left turn lane.

2. Situation where a single lane splits into two 'tight' lanes, it will go into the right lane then need to make an immediate left, which it will of course miss or basically stop and put its blinker on...

3. Making a right out my building will drive in the middle of the road instead of using the right lane.

Theres some great improvements, such as recognizing stopped traffic vs parked cars in lanes that change to parking after 9pm. Overall its not usable in and around downtown Orlando.
A few years ago I started messing with Unity and for the most part it was a decent engine with many platforms you can target which is a huge plus. Their whole licensing issue of late made me think though, do I really want to put years of my life into building a game when the owner of the engine can make changes which negatively impact my project?

Now, this could happen with any engine that you don't own but Epic uses their engine to create games themselves so they have an interest in further development which also benefits the users of the engine.

Godot is a newer kid on the block but has gained a lot of interest, especially after the Unity stunt. Now that it can target a Nintendo Switch there is even more reason to choose this engine as coding for game consoles can be pretty tricky as they usually have a lot of restrictions and tests they have to pass before you can launch on the platform.

Unreal and Unity offer maturity and vast knowledge available on the web for both if you want to learn the engine. Unreal has a visual scripting language which some love, both engines have storefronts where you can buy plugins, code, objects, all sorts of things to help make your game.

Indie gamedev company co-founder here: 14 people team, 2 games released + next in progress and signed with publisher. There are few big reasons why you can't just go and use Godot.

Publishers. Basically 3 years ago when we made our first game together using Godot it was main reason why we were rejected by some publishers. Now situation can be slightly different, but many publishers still have in-house pipeline that only work for Unity and Unreal: QA, localization and console porting.

Asset Stores. Majority of modern games are not built from scratch and selection of ready-to-use components and assets available commercially would be like 1000x for two major commercial engines.

Hiring. It's take years and several commercial projects of experience to actually become effective at using specific game engine. There are just far less Godot experts arounds especially those with experience of making commercial game while working in team.

These reasons can sound like inertia, but it took decades for Unreal and Unity to conquer their market share and build their moat. I myself big open source and Linux nerd, but sadly it's will take another decade for Godot to make sensible dent in this market.

PS: We released first game on Godot and our following projects are built on Unity.

I don't personally use Apple products, but I do have some trust that they can get font rendering right. The browser window I'm looking at right now is a subset of my monitor, and could be considered a 'virtual display', but subpixel rendering works in that region. There's no reason other than laziness or lack of vertical integration that it wouldn't work in a virtual environment.
Now the Internet is ever-present, silently.
An alternative, more correct but less interesting, explanation: you really need to look at the disassembly (with your specific build of the Rust compiler with the same flags) to see what's really happening. This is why UB (undefined behavior) is dangerous.

For example, the compiler could decide that the entire allocation is unnecessary and elide it, if it's known that the Vec is very small. The compiler could also decide to pass it by ref. Remember that the compiler merely has to preserve your intent, beyond that it is allowed to do whatever it pleases.

> A status page should not have dependencies, and if it does, they should have higher availability than your service.

IMHO this is often unnecessary. The critical thing is for the failure modes of your status page to be uncorrelated with the failure modes of your service, so that you're unlikely to break both at the same time. But you might have, eg, some public API with a 99.995% availability target, and a status page with a 99.95% target - it of course depends on your situation but those numbers wouldn't strike me as being intrinsically wrong as long as the status page is properly independent of your service.
I'm not super familiar with WSL; does it allow you full access to all your files, or is it a fenced-off environment?

On my Mac I have various cronjobs and scripts running that work copy-paste the same as on a real server. I even have Nginx serving static files for local development!

My opinion as a gamedev who doesn't work with engines like this:

-Unity and Unreal both offer better performance guarantees and more featureful runtimes than Godot

-Both represent much more mature ecosystems, with tooling that's again, more powerful than Godot

-Both have more robust communities and larger talent pools

All of this said, I'd be more likely to use Godot for a quick personal project than either Unity or Unreal. But then I'd be more likely to choose Raylib over any of these options to begin with. Other people's choices might be influenced by the above, or they might choose Unity/Unreal out of familiarity, or possibly even something as simple as marketing hype/market perception. I'm not really sure the current state of Godot, but last I toyed around with it, I got the impression of something that was in-between Gamemaker and Unity and that dominates my perception of it today.
javascript was never designed to be used like a classic OOP language, that's why jquery won, it was functional which meant it didn't fight you the way the other libraries did.

javascript is first and foremost functional no matter how hard MS and others have tried to hammer it into a more typical OOP language.
You might really like the short book What is Life? by Schrödinger, it delves into exactly that.
The equivalent of "this behavior too can be explained by the laws of natural selection" in physics would be "this object too follows the laws of Newtonian mechanics".

Usually solving the paradox (something looks redundant, but must be useful in some way) requires some creativity, but ultimately it's always a rather boring confirmation of the theory.

The danger of normal science is that scientists turn "it can be explained by the theory" into "it must be explained by the theory".
NYC has the advantage of "additional" coastline with the water around the main island and the "internal island" of Central Park.

I know there are a lot of ways to do it and used one of them myself. But it hasn’t stopped nagging for updates and at one point didn’t even allow shutting off without an update.

I already trudged through a bunch of them, each with their own specific set of features. What I was looking for was a specific recommendation to compare to what I already know.
From an 11th gen I get about 6 to 7 with light usage, two to three with any development. It's largely a thin client at this point. Battery health is at 92%.

I tried upgrading to the ryzen and when it was good it was really good. I was able to keep a user mode libvirt vm running for dev work and mid brightness under 5W power draw. That used slirp networking, adding a bridge or default nat nic takes up about 2w to 3w of it's own power.

But like most windows laptops the suspend mucked things up. Not even power draw while asleep, but when awaking from sleep the power minimum was 10w with it more often at 20w with similar usage. I tried several wifi cards, nvme drives, port configurations etc. Also tried Fedora, Ubuntu and Nixos.

On Linux this carries over to the discussion of tlp vs power profile daemon, and soon tund. I saw much better performance and regularity with tlp, but that seems like it's not the path forward.

The steam deck shows that suspend can be fixed and done well with decent battery life under linux.

Essentially instead of running a not so trivial stack on both ends to handle USB4/TB4 virtual channel system over which you then tunnel PCIE L2 packets, it's straightforward, unmodified, PCIE connection with at most retimers/signal conditioners on both ends.

OTOH, it's only PCIE signal.
Still counts.
A single skyscraper with 10x the floors needs more than 10x the structural mass to stay up, involves far more complexity and they're actually notoriously inefficient for elevators and stairs (you need to provide 100 stories of just enough capacity to service your top 10 floors, not 10 stories, and end up with potentially 30 to 40% of your overall floor area as a service core)

The economy of scale comes from using up less high value land; everything else costs more

Agreed.

This doesn't follow in any way, not with the definition I gave, or with any definition I have ever heard. How do you define "artificial" such that an iMac is not artificial?

I've told you my definition (anything created by a human that is not an anatomical/physiological process of that human), and by my definition it is very clearly artificial (iMacs are created by humans, and they are not a bodily secretion of humans).
I have a framework 13" and I replaced the keyboard with a black blanked keyboard. It was really easy to install, it took me ~15 minutes. I really like the look of it, and when I use it in public people think I'm a wizard.

I definitely had to play with powertop a bit and remove some programs that consumed a lot of battery (for example, the blueman tray applet had to go). I'd recommend setting powerManagement.enable = true and powerManagement.powertop.enable = true, and letting powertop run in the background while on battery for a few hours to identify the worst offenders.

TSA afaik isn't even required for intrastate flights as intrastate travel isn't fed jurisdiction. In Alaska they don't even metal detect for weapons intrastate last time I flew.

It makes sense for a lot of situations purely out of practicality. If a good portion of your customers use tools that break spec, your choices are to accept the brokenness or lose the customer.

Take browsers, for example. A lot of people complain that browsers try to work around broken certificate setups on servers, but if they didn’t, users would just switch to browsers that did.

how is v12?
This is exactly the feedback I was interested in...thanks!

I think these kinds of criticisms are necessary for open source stuff to become competitive with proprietary offerings; it feels like Blender, for example, has taken these criticisms pretty seriously and as a result it's started to become competitive with proprietary tools (at least in the "prosumer" and lighter professional spaces).

I'm sure they're already doing this, but Godot should probably keep a list of all these bits of feedback and start fundraising to build these features.

Seems that attempts at ferry service failed commercially:

it could be coincidence, since people with metal detectors looking for coins find them. there could perhaps be more, but not where coin searching with metal detectors is common?
absolutely, 100%.

When I first encountered XSLT I seriously thought it was the most ridiculous thing I had ever seen. A frickin' programming language whose syntax was XML.

But then I learned it and I don't think I've ever seen another language that could do what XSLT could do in such a small amount of code. The trick was to treat it like a functional language (I got this advice from someone else and they were absolutely correct). Where most people got into trouble was thinking of it as an imperative language.

Pattern matching expressions is the kool kid on the block, but XSLT had that to the nth degree 20 years ago.
The vast majority of people would never have willingly traveled far from their birthplace, in medieval Europe or the Roman Empire. This is especially true for those who had few skills. You could do basic labor in your own village, but how could you leave without any money or support network (e.g., a family)? Why would people trust you elsewhere? The dynamic was probably different in larger cities, of which there were more in Roman times compared to the (at least early) medieval period though.

This had little to do with serfdom, and practices that would fit under what we might call serfdom were extremely varied from time and place. It would have been very rare for someone to have the means, ability, and desire to move far from their home yet couldn't because they were somehow legally bound to land owned by a lord (who only had power over that one area anyhow).
Hmmm this has me wondering if there are some underlying terminal defaults or system level startup daemons that could be modified/disabled. Might need to look at this after breakfast.
> unless AI augments our brains somehow

Frankly, the more I think about AI, the less sense it makes to me that biological, single-body humans have any place in the future. As soon as we can digitize our minds, why wouldn't people begin to do so? Bodies could be inhabited at will, and death will be a thing of the past as we're able to store backups. I'm sure some will refuse and be left behind, just as we have Amish communities today, with a similar level of influence on civilization. And in the case of digital people, I think it's likely they'll share in the intellectual advancements of AI, if such a distinction even exists.
I agree. Here in 2024, I hope everyone agrees that types are great.

Static types, aren't just verbose, they're clunky. They only work in a perfect world - dynamic types provide the functionality to actually thrive.

> I sometimes wonder whether something more in the Rust spirit where the tools are smart enough not to waste your time might be more successful.

That could help, the problem being XML. You mention the J2EE framework and semi-documented "standards" - the world is rife with bad xml implementations, buggy xml implementations, and bad programmers reading 1 GB xml documents into memory (or programs needing to be re-worked to support a SAX parser).

There's too much baggage at the feet of XML, and the tools that maybe could have helped were always difficult to use/locked behind (absurdly expensive) proprietary paywalls.

JSON started to achieve popularity because as a format, it was relatively un-encumbered. Its biggest tie was to Javascript - if certain tools hadn't been brain-dead about rejecting JSON that wasn't strictly just JSON, it might have achieved same level of type safety as schema-validated XML, without much of the cruft. But that's not what the tools did, and so JSON became a (sort-of) human-readable data-interchange format, with no validation.

So in 2024 we have no good data-x-change formats, just random tools in little niches that make life better in your chosen poison format. We await a rust - a good format with speed, reliability, interoperability, extensibility, and easy-to-use tools/libraries built in.

Hopefully not just a simple square grid, but something designed for ergonomics. You don't need to invent a new layout, there's plenty of pretty good designs you can copy, like Corne or Atreus.
