Are there games in the wild built with UE for mobile?

I know there are quite a few Unity games out there in the market. I had ruled out Unreal and kinda settled on using Unity for my tinkering with games, because of the pricing differences...but now that Unity is so much more expensive at $1500+$1500 for each platform you want to support (if you don't want a Unity splash screen and the limits of the free version), and Unreal being effectively free forever for me (since I sincerely doubt any of my tinkering will result in a game that makes $3000+ a quarter, ever), I'm leaning toward giving Unreal more of my attention. But, I primarily want to develop for mobile, so having an effective mobile deployment process with the engine is kinda mandatory.

You're making sweeping generalisations about a broad patient population that ends in victim-blaming, which isn't helpful.

If there is a subset of chronic fatigue patients that are helped by your method, great. But you don't seem to accept that some CFS/ME patients have tried and have not responded to those sorts of techniques. They did believe it. It didn't work. They need proper medical treatment, in the same way (say) MS patients do, not blame for "simply not wanting to believe it".

Please try and accept that there's more nuance to the situation, rather than painting everyone with the same brush.
I installed it and texted my friend.

It never asked me to verify his pubkey.

How does key management work? Is it all done through Whisper Systems' servers? If that's the case, how is this effectively better than iMessage? iMessage is also (nominally) quite secure, except for the fact that you have to trust Apple to verify pubkeys, which makes it quite feasible to MITM if you can subvert Apple via legal or technical means.

#2, "The program must include source code, and must allow distribution in source code as well as compiled form."

Unreal's license for obtaining the source does not permit you to redistribute in source form, so you can't comply with their license and still fulfil that point.

While it's certainly trivial now for most anyone to obtain that source independently, you can't include that source in your own project while still distributing your own project under any license that the OSD would label as open source.
Just speculating here - I wonder if the human cortex is somehow "special" in that regard. What if evolutionary pressure in the past drove the increase of computing power in the cortex so much that now you could have new emerging properties and "features" and so on come out by simply re-wiring what's already there.

You know, like when you're Amazon and you build a huge infrastructure to serve existing business, only to realize later you could do a lot more with it by simply re-purposing and re-configuring.

In a field with some form of rigorous proof underlying it* converging towards consensus is good, though I still enjoy reading the outliers (not the cranks, the ones who could be the next Pauli).

But imagine if you're trying to converge towards consensus about a historical event. Every historian has their own interpretation and different emphasis. The facts should be the same for all, but the reading of the event and its meaning isn't. And for that reason, support for tracking diverging views would be very useful.

In my opinion, if you're just a hobbyist programmer who want to experiment building games on the side, it makes more sense to build your MVP demo using humble html5 canvas (I personally use pixijs, but things like threejs or whatnot might be more appropriate depending on your idea). This is because building a good indie game is a big commitment requiring lots of time (which is money), and unless you're building this game for your grandchildren, it makes sense to test the market with a MVP and try to raise money for it on a kick-starter site before you commit to building it on a powerful engine like Unreal (or Unity).

In addition, worrying about powerful graphics as an indie game dev is like worrying about distributed database scalability as a minor e-commerce startup. Your priorities are messed up and, just like how you can just get away with mysql on a free heroku instance as long as you have interesting junk to sell on your ecommerce startup, so too can you get away with a shoddy 2d engine with box2d physics as long as your story is engaging (or your mechanics are fun).
Interesting, very reminiscent of Lisp macros! Glad to see that python code transforming isn't too difficut.
I too went to a Montessori school, and later a Sudbury school (the original in fact), and even later staffed at a Sudbury school (they don't have teachers per se, another way they differ from Montessori).

As you describe, you had to choose from a set of pre-canned, "age-appropriate" exercises (a whitelist). Can you see how this is quite different from being able to spend your time however you want? (except for specific rule violations, i.e. a blacklist)

Not only that, but in my experience there were also quotas. Though at any given time I could choose what I did at the Montessori school, I had to eventually do a certain amount of math, reading, and so on.
"Recommend". If you're trying to develop as close to "free" as possible, "performance may be limited."

(I'm often puzzled that when I suggest a nigh-unto-free solution to a problem, someone usually complains some form of "but that's not optimal!" Of course it's not optimal if you're not willing to put substantial resources into it. Just because the solution isn't perfect doesn't mean there isn't one; do what you can with what you've got, and you'll make progress toward perfection.)

>GET requests don’t have a request body, so all parameters must appear in the URL or in a header.

GETs can have bodies--- its just that some people who write software forget this.

A simple solution is to put a hash or maybe even just a body content length in the query string or a header so the server can make sure the body made it to it. If the the body doesn't make it, then it can inform the client retry with another less ideal HTTP method.
Specs on that are really low. 2gb of ram with a single core processor? That kind of rig is probably best for 2D development, where something like Unreal or Unity would be way overkill.

A small step up would be something with a proper graphics card and a quard core processor. You can get a very nice computer for $450 nowadays:

Also, not being able to test on Windows would be a major problem as that's going to be the lion's share of your sale. If you're budget conscious, I'd spring for a 3 year old laptop that came with an AMD or NVIDIA chip. That would be a low end desktop today, but can probably be had for $200-300 or so. Toss in a $80 SSD, and off to the races. I find laptops depreciate fast and that most people haven no idea how valuable that NVIDIA or AMD sticker is on their laptop. That's the difference between being able to play 70% of the games on Steam and being able to play 10% of the games on Steam.

IMO, Nintendo would still be better off if they ditched the console business and focused on games. The unique control devices like the Wiimote and the WiiU tablet thing are nifty, but I feel they're at best a gimmick and at worst a significant downgrade from a normal controller (Metroid Prime 3, I'm looking at you.)

There's nothing they can do on their own console that they can't do on someone else's. Zelda or Metroid on a PS4 would be awesome; and while I'll still probably buy a WiiU once those games come out, I'd also buy them on a PS4 or Xbox One. Unless Nintendo makes a whole lot of profit on the WiiU, they're not coming out very far ahead considering the large expenses involved with designing a console.
America’s Millennials: Overeducated and Unprepared
In 1900, a 60-year old white male, like the author, could expect to live to about 75, versus about 80 today. Medical advances over the last century have largely addressed death in childhood or middle age. Vaccinations and antibiotics are probably responsible for most of the increase in life expectancy. I don't think technologies that prevent early death are at odds with the author's argument.

Well you can still be scared by something while knowing its not real, eg there are parts of Alien that always make me jump even though I've seen it many times (I personally prefer original Alien it to the more shoot-em-up sequel).

Sticking with your original context of people owning guns for home defense, while I would never assert that they do so directly in response to horror movies or suchlike, I would argue that such movies often serve an ideological function of embodying our social fears so as to domesticate them, and that this can heighten the perception of risk.

Drop me a line about this if you'd like to continue the conversation. I'm very interested in psychoananalytic approaches to film theory and would be happy to discuss it further.

> If they're very well known and everyone can understand them and implement them perfectly, we wouldn't need formal verification in the first place.

We're verifying the compiler from one language to the other. The specifications of the two languages are not that hard to implement. The difficulty is covering all cases in compiling from one to the other. The formal proof does tell us that we haven't missed any.
They probably have other companies too. Why just Geico and why not list other companies. It seems bit out of place and gives an impression that Geico is doing bad enough that they need to be advertised.
There's a source that I can't find that explains why the L in particular so bad. It's basically that most subway lines (e.g. the 2 and 3) have heavy traffic both ways at both rush hours, because they begin and end in residential areas. The L trip profile is lopsided, westbound in the morning and eastbound in the evening, so the marginal gain in capacity of adding another train to it is less than to another line and the MTA is broke enough they have to make those kinds of choices.

Credit score is independent of income level. The score we use in our insurance risk modeling doesn't care about the amount of money you earn.

Additionally, neovim has gone through a huge code cleanup. Something vim will not do because they want to maintain infinite backwards compatibility.

Many old builds have been dropped and a number of important things have started using libraries (libvterm just an example of this). In theory this won't change the functionality, but may, long term, improve stability.

It's also nice that we aren't relying on one person to keep the project going. Bram is very dedicated, but when his response to "How can the community ensure that the Vim project succeeds for the foreseeable future?" is "Keep me alive", that doesn't say anything great about the project.
The XCom games on PC/iOS use UE4. The Zen Garden (Metal rendering) demo presented at the Apple keynote also used UE. Theres quite a few more but thats the only ones I remember off the top of my head ATM.

For 3D games on mobile, UE should perform pretty well. If you're doing 2D games, other engines may be more efficient (although UE does have a 2D mode).

I would say that scientific advances would definitely play into the argument. Suppose that modern investments into "reversing aging" pay off to the tune of adding twenty years to the average healthy lifespan, regardless of how many years it takes until we get there (i.e. 20 more years of healthy life, on average). A like-minded author in 21XX would almost certainly say he/she wishes to die at 95.
As someone who's job involved visiting nursing homes in a past life, I don't understand the desire for general life extension. Most of these elderly folks were full of tubes and pills (at the cost to taxpayers of $7k per month).

This is no way to live. We as a society should focus less on "life extension" and more on living healthy lives and curing disease in general. Old age is not a disease. What's wrong with living and dying with dignity?

Back when UE4 was first released I asked that question in relation to training simulations within larger courses and the answer was that, as no software was being sold, then no royalties would apply!

In the end we didn't go ahead with those simulations as the html5 support wasn't quite ready at the time.

I only wish I could get 25mpbs internet speeds. It's not that I'm willing to pay thousands of dollars for it - Comcast told me that they needed to upgrade their infrastructure to be able to offer me anything above the lowest package that I'm already paying over $100 for (just for internet). Over the past 20 something years and the billions of dollars in profit - they are just getting around to upgrading their hardware now...

Did I mention that they refuse to let me purchase my own mode digressing from the fact that they keep raising the modem rental fees? They claim something about proprietary network information and a hash that is used on the modem. My bullshit detector went off the scale - I'm not sure if they genuinely don't know or just don't want to tell me.

Windows Mobile was able to do this many years before Apple. People disliked Windows Mobile because it was made for the power user and the interface wasn't very friendly. I will always have a certain love for Windows Mobile especially considering the ability to make applications in VB6. VB6 language sucked but it was easy to use and learn - when I had a Windows Mobile phone I wrote a TCP client/server app to remote control the audio on my computer in about 5 minutes in VB6. It wasn't pretty but it did what I needed it to do.
