I believe that Apple is strategically choosing to coast on their desktop software while they work to harmonize their mobile, desktop, and entertainment software stacks. Why? Because based on rumors, patents, and the decisions they've m

That's actually not out of line with what Ancient Architects proposed; the operator of that channel tries to shy away from pure speculation, and proposed sea level rise as a cause for Atlantis sinking; and from there, they narrowed in

This gained popularity a year or two ago when a few youtubers took it upon themselves to determine that if Atlantis were real, what geological features might be the most likely candidates? Ancient Architects and Bright Insight both come to

Indeed, in a way the author is saying that the meaning is independent of the text; which, in literary circles, was once hotly debated. I land on the textual side of the line; the medium is as important to the meaning as the abstract concept

Pre-sales always include broad sweeping allowances for variances in final cost; for instance, folks who pre-bought condos two or three years ago are just starting to get sticker shock now that the final price has hit them, thanks to skyrock

It's a named lambda, using self capture, and that's been in other languages for decades. Scheme is a good example, with letrec. Compile time recursive functions are likewise available in common lisp via recursive macros. Some sche

Most developers would not accept those terms. That's a proposal for predictable project losses. It's far less risk to own the project and land, seek institutional and similarly deep pocketed financing, then to suffer the fickle st

This is a centuries-old, well-trod concept that's noted by the phrase. Arguing over it is as tiresome as reading the twisted logic of sovereign citizens.

Unless Godot has solved the problem of forward compatibility of binary asset bundles with compiled assets, then what's true of Unity is true of Godot: the cost of your engine upgrade is proportional to your reliance on existing assets.
