To be honest if Greek letters and things being named after the people that discovered them are that big of a hurdle to you the chances of you actually being able to do something useful with these mathematical ideas are probably close to 0 since those are by far the easiest parts of dealing with advanced mathematics.

The lite version has better performance since it’s effectively just a bunch of MV3 blocklists.

That’s honestly plausible with RAM and SSDs, the same kits of RAM I spent around $50 on years ago were being scalped for $500+ because there was absolutely no supply.

If your password is long enough it doesn’t matter if they know it is say 16 characters and if it isn’t long enough it also doesn’t matter because they can just brute force all the potential lengths up to it. So yes it is just security theater.

It is also the only SSO flow I have ever seen that fundamentally cannot work if you have more than one account remembered on your device. So far the only way I’ve found to get it to let you log out of account A and then log into account B is to clear all cookies otherwise it gives you permission denied errors. Have no idea how it can be this horrible

Not to mention that they can make back $65M in just a few weeks from one of their two mobile games and they are about to launch a new one. This is basically pennies to them.

It actually isn't a fork of Scratch3 but was started way back in Scratch1.4 as a JS implementation using Morphic which was inspired by Squeak. It is really good software and IMO is better than Scratch since it provides the tools to scale up from the toy programs Scratch is optimized for.

If they are confidential they probably shouldn’t be uploaded to any website no matter if it calls out to OpenAI or does all the processing on their own servers.

Not to excuse Google but I think their main problem is that Qualcomm stops providing support for their chips pretty quickly which makes it much harder to run newer versions of Android that have newer kernels. Apple controls not just the OS but the chips as well so they don’t have to work around that problem.

This isn’t even close to accurate. For one thing, developers already pay to license the Unity engine, it’s only free if you agree to keep the unity logo loading screen and make under a certain amount of money.

Two, unlike the Reddit API changes which just annoyed mods at worst (yes there were problems for people with disabilities but that is such a small percentage it was basically a rounding error for them) this is an existential threat to F2P mobile games which are Unity’s largest market by far. When you aren’t directly selling the game and the only way to make money is to get as many downloads as possible in the hope that a certain small percentage buy IAPs these few cent fees per install could very easily wipe out their entire revenue.

Three, unlike Reddit which had no viable alternatives for the millions of end users to migrate to, Unity has far fewer customers and an extremely viable replacement in the form of Unreal and potentially Godot.

Very sad to hear that they had to shut down but I am also not particularly surprised. The Shadow Tactics games were well made but also extremely niche. The lack of micro transactions made for a better game but also meant that there wasn’t much recurring income and they had to work while under the stress of knowing that if they make one bad game the entire studio would go bankrupt.

Best of luck to everyone at the studio, hopefully the bonus they are giving out is sizable enough that the workers won’t have to stress out about finding a new job too quickly, especially since this seems to be a pretty sudden announcement.

If by virtue signal you mean call out creeps and perverts then yes. The world would be a much better place if people did that more often instead of just leaving them be to hurt women and teenage girls. Maybe then they would at least not act on it in public.
