You are 100% correct. I know of hordes of people being banned for the most ridiculous reasons. And it's always a power-hungry mod. And it would be fine if they were just banned from a sub, but I've seen guys get banned completely for the most stupidest reasons.

I use a command line browser (lynx) to log into my bank account and scrape my data because APIs are not coming to town any time soon. I actually use Lynx to scrape a bunch of different things. Much easier than trying to log into a site using CURL etc.

Can't answer all of the questions now, but if you are living in a small space, then I highly recommend "Adjustable Weights". I have the type where you turn a dial on the weight and I can get anything between 4 and 20 kgs. It's pricey, but a lot cheaper than buying all the weight sizes you want, or struggling with those weights you have to twist onto a bar. The convenience is what makes it great, but the small space it takes a major plus.

I've run into a few cases where recursion was the only logical way to do it. For example, printing out a nested tree as a menu. It should only be used when necessary because if you don't know what you are doing, you can easily create a function that runs much longer than it should.

Godot 4 Beta 1 4 years ago

I love everything Godot. My first experience with 3d was with Opengl 15 years ago and seeing what is now possible (for free) is mindblowing.

Totally agree. To some extent I'm even jealous of believers. It must be nice having that comfort. Not worrying. When I first realized religion was likely complete BS, it took me years to truly accept it and what it means for my life on earth. Which is that, this is it. This is all I got. And that's tough when you thought you had eternity to do whatever you couldn't get around doing on earth.

You dodged a bullet. Me too. I just started my 3D journey, dabbling with Godot, Three.js and Unity. If I had stumbled upon Machinery and decided to use, I would have been annoyed now.

I doubt it's legal and it will certainly destroy companies. And what makes it worse, is that my best guess is that they are going to capitalize on this move. Maybe repackage it as some other high priced software. Either way, the whole company should be ashamed.

I use Godot and now I'm wondering if this can't happen at Godot as well. Perhaps it's time to switch to Unity. You pay but at least they have sort of stood the test of time.

Most companies use some other company. The company I use, which is local to where I live because I want the local reliable support, uses Enom. I can't be bothered to get an Enom account so I pay them. Others use resellerclub etc. So instead of going with Godaddy or any of the big names, get a hosting provider with rock solid customer support and service. Either way, you'll probably end up with a domain from Enom but at least you'll have good service from a local provider.

Again, in case most people don't know this, most hosting providers are resellers of the big companies. They all do the same thing and have access to the same stuff. The only difference is that individual company's pricing and service. Pick wisely!
