This is one the lesson plans that was a trigger at the time. It is a typical constructivist pedagogy.

Fixed beliefs are things like America is a good nation. You should teach the whole of history, good, bad and ugly, but stop trying to make kids reinterpret everything through modern political lenses
I'm just saying having a majority doesn't mean fully controlling congress. It has nothing to do with whether one is a lame duck.
Also, posting limits are annoying as fuck.
Get Propranolol - miracle drug. Totally takes the anxiety out of presentations. I used it a couple times at large presentations, and it was really helpful. Since then I don't need it. Once you go through presentations a few times successfully, you learn it isn't that big a deal.
You feel 99% normal when you take it; it is not a sedative. It is just that the fear doesn't arise, the wave of panic never comes.

Falsehoods like that are 100x worse than the price of insulin. 90-95% of diabetes in the US is Type 2, and it is crap diet that causes it.

And if you want cheap insulin, you can buy it for $25 at Walmart.
They can probably track accurately enough to identify that 90% of games aren't worth billing. Then once they are working with the top 10%, they can negotiate something that makes sense, like submit your monthly sales number, and Unity will use that as a limit on install count.
I agree what they are saying isn't workable, but that idea of install based fee could work, and would be better than a royalty for many.
They are providing a game engine to make the game. If that's not worth it, switch. They don't own your C# code or assets, so they can be moved. For a lot of devs, it provides a lot of value. I understand for F2P, low ARPU games this pricing scheme doesn't work and people should complain until Unity fixes it.
Unity has ~7,000 employees, and is losing money. They need to a way to monetize, and they are clumsily trying to target their most successful users to pay more. Price increase aren't rent seeking.
Those are exactly the types of games that would be much worse off under an Unreal style royalty.
Cult of the Lamb is $24.99 on Steam
Unreal royalty is 5%, so $1.25 per sale
Unity is $0.20
So royalty is ~6x more
If there was a reasonable way to count installs (I don't think it is technically possible), install fee is much better than royalty for most devs who are not F2P apps.
That's not what Unity is saying - they are saying reinstalls do not count. From their faq:
Does a reinstall of an app on the same device count towards the Unity Runtime Fee?
No, we are not going to charge a fee for reinstalls.
They can't force you to pay. The only leverage or legal claim they have is if you want to update your title after Jan 2024, then they can ask you to get up to date on your account.
Riccitiello has been CEO since 2014. There were some good times at the beginning, but things seem to be falling apart.
The p60 pro is released this year and available:
"Meat and dairy comes in plastic wrap or bottles."
I kind feel like if your butcher doesn't use butcher paper, you aren't really going to a butcher but a meat department at a grocery store.
It's no fun to drive in the rain, so either pick a nice place to stay for Wed/Thu during the storm, or postpone the trip. If you need to get south, just drive the 5, it shouldn't enough rain to flood it. The central valley flood alerts you are seeing are for rivers and small roads with stream crossings. Forecast there is only 1.5".
There are many controlled studies on other respiratory disease like the flu, and some on other corona viruses like SARS the show high efficacy of masks. If you doubt the science, fall back on common sense. A respiratory barrier is going to have some value in diminishing the ability of a respiratory virus to spread.

The reason government and medical signaling on the subject has been so mixed is that it isn’t apparent they are very effective
The reason signaling has been mixed is because they were trying to preserve supply for medical professionals. The reason that medical professionals need them is because they work.
It is a bullshit citationless list.
Lincoln was not an Abolitionist hero as popularly lionized, but a status quo "moderate,' reluctant to rock the boat. Even though he knew it to be wrong, he did nothing in the affirmative until Secession.
Lincoln's election triggered secession by the south. Maybe the Southerner's had a better sense of Lincoln's abolitionist credentials than you?
Secession started after Lincoln was elected, but before he took office, what actions could he have taken? His abolitionist rhetoric was enough to trigger a civil war. That's a pretty big boat rock.
PayPal does not look so bad. Their API and documentation has also become pretty good.
Documentation has gone form terrible to bad. API has gone from always terrible to appearing OK but will periodically destroy your happiness and productivity for a week. I would never voluntarily work with PayPal tech.
Those are great features of a great language to program with, but when you are talking about adoption, you want good, easy tooling to expose the good stuff. When the first two chapter of the oft recommended Clojure for the Brave and True are just about setup and and long Emacs tutorial, you are putting up a barrier to using the language.
It is probably net positive for advanced users who have niche needs that the different editors address, but I'm saying it is bad for beginners/learners. More specifically, I'm saying emacs/cider is bad for beginners/learners, and the more traditional IDE options aren't so solid.
Telling someone new to a language to start with emacs & cider is a disaster. They are rock solid amazing tools for 2% of programmers. I like emacs, but it is harder to learn than Clojure, and trying to teach someone both at the same time is tough. Plus there is no real community unity in editor choice, so you have the community split over emacs, Cursive, VS Code/Calva, Atom. Plus a bunch of dead ends like Light Table or Nightcode.
Of course you are right, but it all started with the tight integration with Jetbrains editing package.
Solid tooling can really boost a language. Clojure advocates should internalize that.
The Poker prototype could be from 30 years ago, and drops to 15FPS on any game action! Arcadia is a neat toy at this point, but run far away if you are looking to do real world commercial development.
I think you are seriously overselling the talk, and what Arcadia is ready for.
you: Here's a talk on making real world commercial games with Clojure
video: dozens of game jam games have been made
That's atypical of most high income, high quality districts in California. E.g., Palo Alto is currently fighting with Stanford over a housing expansion because of the impact of additional students at local schools.
Eli, I think you started with a reasonable question, but then followed it up with an unnecessarily passive aggressive question.
Maybe some of the girl programmers that Google hasn't hired should make a site that generates sexy anime boys?
I've been using HN daily for about 8 years. There are about 5 usernames I recognize because I'm wowed by their knowledgable responses. Then there are about 5 usernames I recognize because I go wow, that guy is always an argumentative abrasive jerk. Yours is one of the 5 in the second category. Your need to include the Mencken quote is a small example of what pushes you down into that category. Perhaps the reason you find it difficult to make friends in the real world isn't race, class, segregation, or language, but personality. People who lead with positivity, and the expectation that will be able to make friends probably do a lot better at it.
Hmm, Iran actively supports ~100 Shiite terror groups in Syria and Iraq. If you speak Arabic, here is an article in Al-Hayat.

And of course Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Because if you read it, it doesn't close access, it demands background information on visa applicants. Saudi Arabia is already compliant.
