    I agree with this for the most part. I just want to add that programmers have only relatively recently become so abundant (i.e. replaceable) that they have so little say in how sof…

    Your argument seems to be that some bits of tree doesn't constitute what we would usually call a "device", and that's fair enough really. I called that out myself in the same comme…

    I'm sure the team are having a rough time with all this, but I don't understand the path you followed to go from the maintainers have not taken this action until now to "This doesn…

    I don't know what more I can say to convince you that I'm not trying to put down the technology. I'm interested in it, that's why I think it's a shame to curse it with a used-car s…

    Say caveman, cavemen ... unheard[0] cavewoman. No good. Bad. When Sabrewulf[1] come, some fight, some run ... some run in cave. No good. Bad. Token cost. Seem smart less token. But…

    Wood is a solid-state battery. The term has obviously been selected because of how revolutionary solid-state electronic devices were/are. And it's not like they selected it after a…

    If you know a bit about electronics, you might be a bit surprised by the term 'solid-state battery'. It's a poor analogue to the more common usage of solid-state with semiconductor…

    Microservices are service/s that are significantly smaller than the service you're comparing them to. That's an obvious and perhaps unhelpful definition, let's contrast it with ...…

    Compared to how much they want to pay. This is always what 'overpriced' means, as far as I know. The seller's costs/profits/margins aren't a concern for the buyer.

    The facts as presented from the Bun side show a lack of technical merit for the rewrite. This shouldn't be surprising, because rewrites are bad engineering , in most cases. The Bun…

    The drawing including a couple of anthropomorphised animal characters hardly seems surprising or even noteworthy. The project/product has always had a heavy emphasis on being "fun"…

    PhysX itself (assuming Unity still uses PhysX, but any major physics engine will be the same) is unlikely to be your problem, although it is possible that Unity compiles it with un…
