Goodwill and stability have a value too. If it were me and I was in the position where the retracted changes would have endangered my business, I would have at least someone working to ensure that we could pivot to Unreal or another engine

After the fees fiasco, many studios began plans to migrate away. I can't help but believe some will move to Unreal or Godot etc for their next projects.

It is a testament to the great work they do that many people believe that IT does not do much. The work required to keep things working without noticible downtime is hardly trivial.

I emailed the author to see if I could get the source code to update it for a modern platform. Given the amount of link rot since that time it is unlikely that he replies but hope is eternal.

Spirit is very hit or miss depending on the route. I flew from Orlando to Pensacola and back three times in two weeks earlier this year and was delayed an average of 3 hours every single flight. The reported cause of the delay was "air

Everything in medicine is about weighing comparative risks - nothing is completely safe if you look at it hard enough. Well raised point, thanks.

Exactly. It isn't free as in FSF definitional freedom, you still can't do certain things with it etc but it is unencumbered by external costs unless you exceed a certain usage threshold.

As many others have said, this appears to be a puff piece almost entirely devoid of meaningful content. There is currently one ongoing phase 1 trial for the drug in question, AOH1996. That phase 1 trial is scheduled to end in March or April

LLAMA 2 appears to require no cost because it can be run locally. The license does mention that if you are using facilitating than 700 million users that you have to negotiate for a different license or something like that but for most peop

The calcium in Rhubarb is Calcium Oxalate, which is not likely to be highly bioavailable. Not all calcium is equal in this case.

My personal views are somewhere between Bakunin and Benjamin Tucker. Private companies can be equally or even more coercive than a government. In this case, via the OSHA mandate and the executive orders on defense contractors, we saw both a

Otherwise, in cases where you have a very pernicious party that will absolutely not stop charging your card, you can contact your bank and have them cancel that card. When they do, there is often a convenience feature that allows pre-existi

There is a pretty good reason why they launch rockets over the ocean or large expanses of empty land. If an RSO terminates a flight with a perfectly functional system, the debris will still spread over the surface for some distance, dependi

The issue with swamp coolers (evaporative cooling) is that you need relatively low humidity for them to work and they increase the humidity of the interior cooled environment. If you use them in combination with an air conditioner, they wil

In physics we call a device that uses the compression and expansion of a fluid to move heat between parts of a system a heat pump. An air conditioner uses a compressor to convert a refrigerant and sends the compressed fluid through a conden

Technically, from the point of view of physics, yes. That said straight cool systems (alternate name for air conditioners) are only one way heat pumps (in a physical sense) as they lack the reversing valve needed to reverse the heat flow. H

You know, I've noticed the same thing but I never really "noticed" it, if you follow. It's almost like they bin the videos by length in the suggestion algorithm.

If the sub had imploded, it is likely that the implosion may have been detected by various naval assets. I don't think that SOSUS is still active but there is very likely something similar with enough sensitivity to detect this somewhe

The only way I can think of would be that after the case has ended it may be possible for a party who had been directed to update a canary under a court order to notify people that they had done that. It would probably depend on the court e

It definitely does. Anytime you reboot under graphene you see what looks like an error message with a web address to visit for several seconds from the phone, before the OS loads.

The old struggle between the Dreadnought and the Battlecruiser rears its ugly head again. It's amazing how such different things can run into the same human idioms.
