In my experience with running Discord servers you setup a couple of hierarchical roles (admin, moderator, user etc) when you first setup the server and never again. However I'm con…

C# can compile standalone binaries for multiple platforms.

From your description it sounds like in-memory application state is lost with Hot Reload, but I don't think that's true? I admit might be wrong about this, it doesn't apply to Unit…

> Edit-and-continue comes to mind, which despite how many times people confuse the two is not hot reload I'm certainly guilty of this! What's the difference?

No, they spent billions on a model and released the weights, and that's fantastic! It's not not open source though.

There was a "green thread" experiment for dotnet a while ago, here is the conclusion: https://github.com/dotnet/runtimelab/issues/2398

Isn't there effectively a multi-billion dollar bounty on finding out who Satoshi is and deploying a bit of "Rubber-hose cryptanalysis"?

Early in the development of the Saturn-V they had issues with thrust instability in the F1 engine (in the worst cases causing it to explode). They had trouble diagnosing the issue …

Less time spent not firing engines, no need for separation hardware (e.g. hydraulic pushers), no need for ullage thrusters (settling fuel before lighting stage 2).

There used to be .NET Framework (which was a Windows only runtime built by Microsoft) and Mono (an open source implementation for various other platforms). In 2016 they started bui…

It's a good job that this planet doesn't have 8 billion unaligned intelligences on it. Someone might prompt them to be malicious!

That's basically what c# has done. But it's implemented as a warning which can be upgraded to an error. I think it might even be an error by default in new projects now.

That's completely useless for code assets. Even for purely art assets they usually come with Unity specific things such as prefabs, particle effects etc.

The original plan would have had the developer paying 20 cents every time someone loaded up their website. That's more than "some payment".

I'm also currently implementing a subset of WASI, would you mind sharing a link to that file?

United Earth sounds nice, but the United Citizen Federation is a bit less nice.

Perhaps I did misunderstand, I was certainly interpreting it as a desire for concrete change in the political structures of how the world is run rather than a shift in attitudes am…

One huge government ruling the entire world sounds out-of-this-world-super dystopian to me!

Not at all, you'd still be violating all the non-gpl licenses. Just because GPL is more restrictive doesn't mean it somehow supercedes all other licenses!

The original comments was about detecting if a given IP is a bot or not - I assume they probably can't do that given 32 random bits!

How can you anonymise an IP address? Given that (as I understand it) an IP address is considered personally identifying information under GDPR.

There hasn't been a single failure of a reused falcon 9 booster on launch, which is the bit relevant to human spaceflight. Humans aren't going to ride a falcon 9 down to landing. I…

Unity has recently added the "incremental GC" [1] which spreads the work of the GC over multiple frames. As I understand it this has a lower overall throughput, but _much_ better w…

Firefox on Android with uBlock seems to do the job for me. I just had to disable the YouTube app so that videos play in the browser.

What stops fraudulent reports? e.g. 1. I pay you 1 BTC 2. Wait until I receive whatever I paid for 2. Now I tell you to send me 0.5BTC or else I'll report the entire 1BTC as ransom…
