In my experience with running Discord servers you setup a couple of hierarchical roles (admin, moderator, user etc) when you first setup the server and never again.

However I'm constantly adding new roles which are really just groups of users. I would say 90% of all the Discord roles I've ever created have no permissions associated with them at all and just exist to ping a group of users (or act as a tag for bots).

Maybe that's served by a different feature in Matrix for user groups. If so, that's still not quite as useful, because sometimes later on you decide the group needs a permission (e.g. a casual gaming group has grown enough to justify having it's own channel).

C# can compile standalone binaries for multiple platforms.

From your description it sounds like in-memory application state is lost with Hot Reload, but I don't think that's true? I admit might be wrong about this, it doesn't apply to Unity which is my main development environment.

Quoting from the docs (emphasis mine): > .NET Hot Reload applies code changes, including changes to stylesheets, to a running app without restarting the app and *without losing app state*

That sounds more like how you described edit-and-continue to me.

> Edit-and-continue comes to mind, which despite how many times people confuse the two is not hot reload

I'm certainly guilty of this! What's the difference?

No, they spent billions on a model and released the weights, and that's fantastic! It's not not open source though.

Isn't there effectively a multi-billion dollar bounty on finding out who Satoshi is and deploying a bit of "Rubber-hose cryptanalysis"?

Early in the development of the Saturn-V they had issues with thrust instability in the F1 engine (in the worst cases causing it to explode). They had trouble diagnosing the issue (and blew up some engines) before they came up with the idea of setting off a small bomb inside the engine to trigger instability on demand (destroying some more engines).

Do you consider that a failure of the Saturn-V program? Or do you understand the value of testing prototype hardware to destruction?

Less time spent not firing engines, no need for separation hardware (e.g. hydraulic pushers), no need for ullage thrusters (settling fuel before lighting stage 2).

There used to be .NET Framework (which was a Windows only runtime built by Microsoft) and Mono (an open source implementation for various other platforms).

In 2016 they started building .NET Core which is new open source implementation (built mostly by Microsoft) which runs on more platforms. For a while all three existed side by side.

Eventually .NET Core caught up and overtook the other implementations. These days Framework is legacy. Core has been renamed to just .NET (since it's now _the_ runtime) and Mono (as far as I know) has been totally replaced by it.

This is all from memory, so apologies for any inaccuracies!

It's a good job that this planet doesn't have 8 billion unaligned intelligences on it. Someone might prompt them to be malicious!

That's basically what c# has done. But it's implemented as a warning which can be upgraded to an error. I think it might even be an error by default in new projects now.

That's completely useless for code assets. Even for purely art assets they usually come with Unity specific things such as prefabs, particle effects etc.

The original plan would have had the developer paying 20 cents every time someone loaded up their website. That's more than "some payment".

I'm also currently implementing a subset of WASI, would you mind sharing a link to that file?
