There is an ECS port for Godot named Godex, but it isn't hugely mature: https://github.com/GodotECS/godex I haven't used it, though I've been curious about it. As far as better options for ECS game engin

All of this makes me ask the question of, "How does a company go public without losing themselves? Is that even possible?" This type of going public and chasing shareholder, share selling, cash infusion (sorry for the word salad,

I don't mean it as a slur, really but Christianity started as a cult, though it can no longer be construed as one for the most part - aside for certain sects (though I'm unsure about Catholocism and their fealty to the Pope above

It's a religion that was worshipped by a peoples who covered the area of modern day Poland. Cults are lead by a single, charismatic leader (sometimes a couple)... like Jesus, or Jim and Tammy Faye Baker or Jim Jones. There have been ma

I mean, you like speed and compiled, C and C++, depending on what types of projects you're into. They aren't really replacements for backend systems, though. I know people on HN are tired of hearing the same drumbeat over and over

Have you tried cicada sounds, that sort of thing... I had to do something to drown out the office noise around me (when I was in an office... or when I will have to go back in, I assume). It's tantamount to the Sardaukar throat singing

Dude! Crimson Tide, Carlito's Way... I know people like GI Jane.. not my favorite, but I'll give it to him. When was The Road? I think that was after. The Psycho remake... I know it got panned, but he was good in that, Anne Heche

I only bring it up because I graduated from art school and now I code all day for my job (I'm older with a family to support) and the difference in my thinking styles is noticeable. Not only to me, but to my friends by the way I speak

This doesn't say which comes first, though. Does the training of "creative" disciplines make the brain work differently from the "non-creative" disciplines, or is it a birth trait? The brain is an elastic organ.

As to whether or not Crypto becomes a legitimate form of currency is neither here nor there, but in its current history it has (seemingly - I am not an economic historian) mirrored the Dutch tulip trade of the 1600's in many ways: htt

So just to move this into a recent topic (and please have a civil conversation - or I'll just delete this thread), given that this will soon be a grey area in many of the U.S. states, would it behoove Visa and Mastercard to regulate pu

But 58% of Americans didn't want Roe v. Wade overturned, while only 35% did, which widens the decision's unpopularity even more (again, according to a Gallup poll): https://news.gallup.com/poll/393275/ste

While said in an arrogant manner, I'll agree, I think the sentiment of, "Top performers tend to be self starters, no matter where you put them", tends to hold true. All rules have exceptions... sure, but by metrics of task co

I think that's fine, and by that logic religious institutions can avoid taxes by following charitable institution policies and tax regulations. That would keep a lot of the religious scam artists out of the water and money that says it

True but Thomas opened up, in his opinion explicitly, the line to legally challenge same sex marriage and legal contraception. Same sex marriage only recognized in one state but not another opens all sorts of issues when it comes to interst

Yes it's a cyberpunk trope, but it's also based in history. Wealthy nobles of Rome and Medieval times were landowners and, to put it bluntly, warmongers... using armies to make profit by war. They were nothing if not the corporate

Apple, as opposed to Google and Facebook, "don't capture your data" to sell their product. That's their brand, and it has made them millions. They do give your data without question to authorities, without a fight. These

I will say this about the car license argument... A car license is not a right. It isn't codified in the constitution as something we are guaranteed, like voting. That brings me to stories like this: https://www.washingtonpo

There were moderate Republicans who would have crossed the aisle to cast their vote for Bernie (according to polling) thanks to a strong ground campaign and (while poo poo-ed) YouTube and Podcast support as well as a strong minority support

It's not quite that easy, to be honest. And here's where I lose my audience... We have two very pro corporate parties, that are pro military, one who is right and one who is center right, if you look at actual policy and spending.

It seems like semantics, but it's public corporate entities that are amoral and not all companies. There is a designation of a "Public Benefit Corporation" which has more restrictions and audits as well as a different mission

That was a large part of it, but it also had to do with taxation over building highways for trade in the north while the south had ample waterways to move trade goods... I'm not saying it wasn't about slavery as well, before anyon
