What I want is for them to show the exact text that supports each claim. Often the sources they link do not say what the summary says they say.

The question is do they need all those tools and third-party addons to meaningfully compete with Unreal? Or is it enough to not have to pay the Unreal license fee? I don't know. Many (most?) AAA studios have their own game engine and t

You're right. I was more thinking of "they gain almost nothing by protecting their copyright over the engine" as in having a competitive advantage using their engine as a secret sauce. Because Valve is barely in the game dev

Also interestingly, Chrome began supporting pagination recently[0] which until now required something like pagedjs. I wonder to what extent Typst's (or TeX's) layout model can map onto CSS now. I would assume concepts like widow a

What even causes this to happen? ie. what dev tool would add random data from RAM to a binary? Is this likely a bug or is there some reason for it like needing to reach a specific file size somewhere?

This post is really puzzling. How do I use libraries with WASM? Lets say I wrote a nodejs app, seemingly I will need to bundle not just node_modules but also the entire nodejs runtime to make it run. Why would I do this? How does another de

Assuming one did have reproducible builds, would you even need signing keys anymore? All you would need is to build the app yourself or have some trusted third party build it and verify that both outputs are the same. You could also use md5
