I am actually scared of switching jobs in case my next job doesn't involve yocto.

How would I make use of the countless hours I have already invested in this piece of software? Countless keywords and the dark magic of the ever changing syntax.

But when it works it works..

I got told that it could be indeed the case that my brain continuously has small seizures but only from time to time they break trough and cause the pain and auras which I would then experience. They wanted to measure the brainwaves to figure out if that was the case. That would also somehow fit what OP said, so I guess this is known in the medical world already. Or at least something in that direction.

we prevented 2.36 million policy-violating apps from being published on Google Play

"Removed" as in the title would imply for me these apps did hit the Google Play store at one point and were then removed. But from the article itself it sounds more like these were never made available in the first place?

That just means as a tech-lead you end up not only putting blame on the (broken) tech but also blame the people right with it?

I don't think that is a smart thing to do within office politics.

I do agree that you can elevate people with potential, to build something of value with them, but I would stay away of trying to get people fired or replaced.

I use a similar flow with the technical team to avoid unencrypted credentials in SCM. The vault (or other secrets) are encrypted with a common passphrase and then only this passphrase is whats encrypted with GPG for multiple recipients.

Mostly because business apps have to appear similar to the platform UI. Games do not, they have to look the same regardless of the platform in use.

And making a cross platform app framework which looks like native UI is much harder.

In contrast, Unity's UI systems are all terrible and looking native isn't even one of their goals.

Do you know of an example where this is done? I didn't know that and we are currently using a customized wire format (based on a patched Thrift), so I thought gRPC wouldn't be an option for us.

Just run it in LXC. Then the container is not immutable but the process will still be isolated with it's dependencies. And infrastructure as code, with Ansible etc, all possible.

Also the talk about docker being itself a dependency I can't really follow. I guess you would have many other dockers also running, otherwise being nxing the only thing within docker.. that doesn't make much sense..

Sure you can, you just have to complete the OAuth2 login on a different device (e.g. phone) and then forward the token to the device which has no web browser.

On the phone itself the WebView limitation is worked around via deep linking (start Browser from App and once logged in start App from Browser with token).

There are tons of different ways how to do this actively being used.

Please correct me if I am wrong, but from a bit of looking around it seems Stride is using Mono as a runtime for on mobile platforms like iOS. [0] So similar to Unity (which worked around this using their IL2CPP backend) it actually is behind Godot in terms of C# language / feature support. It is true that Godot community only started to get serious about C#, but they have a good pace, and already have support for the latest .NET with AOT.

Personally I have no interest in GDScript, but I recently ported a rather large C# code-base from Unity to Godot and I never had to touch GDScript. So it can happily be ignored. In general it took me less time to rewrite the code-base then implementing some of the workarounds for missing features in Unity (e.g. HTTP2) in the first place.

Yes but from the big picture perspective Unity does get paid by bigger companies for features which trickle down to users.

On the other side Godot does not have this bandwidth so at the moment you have to bring your own engine team for your own needs. And because of that many "unsexy" features are not as good as they could be.

That said, I see a lot of movement and the Fund raised significantly in the last months. And the fact that stuff is open source helped me so much compared to Unity where you might have documentation but the feature just doesn't work and you can't figure out why..

Aren't Intel, TSMC and Samsung all customers (and investors) of ASML, which is actually the manufacturer and developer of the EUV (ultraviolet) machines this refers to? Basically, if at all, they might have a slight exclusivity deal, but given the owner structure you can imagine that this will not really affect anything in the long run. With the willingness of spending the money on new nodes they will have the technology too.
