I recommend trying Zenject in Unity! It provides a pretty good dependency injection framework, but more importantly in reply to your comment it has a very easy to use signal bus implementation!
Now I have not tried Godot so I don't know how the two compare, but for where I work Zenject was basically the a-ha moment that made it possible to develop Unity apps/games that don't devolve into a huge unmaintanable mess.
A lot of people made a lot of noise about it and it hasn’t been long enough to tell for sure, but there is no real competition to Unity in many situations without a lot more work falling on your dev team.
Am I crazy, or does this mean the possibility of actually having WebXR on Apple devices in the not-so-distant future (without relying on Mozzila's outdated WebXR Viewer app)?
AVP will have a version of Safari with WebXR support behind a flag. It will be interesting to see what happens to anyone who runs a service like that and if/how Apple will come out for their pound of flesh. At this point I am surprised they don't charge telcos for the privilege of offering phone services to what Apple seems to consider a wholly owned and exclusive customer base.
Somewhat unrelated, but I'm still waiting for an affordable PC monitor based on e-ink technology. Dasung has been making some progress in the area but their products are quite expensive, around $1000 or more for anything with a useable size.
People might disagree on the count of lack of colors, but to me e-ink technology seems very well suited for writing code. And who knows, maybe in a decade or so the refresh rates for these color e-ink might be in a usable range as well.
I have a similar interest. Just wanted to plug Modos here, they're working on Open Source Hardware E-ink laptop that, while not available for purchase just yet, looks pretty interesting to me!
I just don't understand. In what other product category do we see barely any finished products and mostly just working prototypes without housing, etc. like in this video?
Sure, this technology is new and expensive, but so are foldable phones, for example.
I guess a major indicator of progress in this market will be Amazon releasing a colour kindle (if they even want to bother), as that will both indicate prices and performance has become "good enough", and be a further driver on both.
Until then, a $2200 32" screen with a 2-second refresh time is a curiosity more than a product. I think, so far, epaper/eink has hit some sort of wall with it not having quite as many use-cases as people assumed.
zero-knowledge proofs are a means of showing you know a thing without exposing the thing itself.
In the context of lurk, the "thing" is executed computation. That's useful because sometimes computation is expensive, and we'd like to run that expensive computation, anywhere, once, and be able to re-use the result.
I would recommend The Long Dark and Sable. Heavily focused on exploration and immersion. But really any game with an open world that doesn't hold your hand too much and lets you make your own choices.
I picked up Sable on a lark (also because I saw the Moebius-inspired art style and immediately fell in love). It's a fine game that you can tell was a labour of love by only a handful of people, for better and for worse. It hit that same vein of open-ended exploration that Breath of The Wild has and the same feeling of constant discovery the latter game has in its early hours. I do wish that Sable was less utopic, with dangers in the wild dunes from creatures or weather hazards, but that wouldn't work with the art style and doesn't make sense with the narrative. It's a great game, even if you can get around the often-janky flight model of the hoverbikes and bugs like occasional clipping into the environment.
Not to mention that many of the skills needed by the original cavemen to survive are gone in today's society. In other words, if we were to compete with the original cavemen in their environment, we would most likely fare rather poorly, at least in the short term.
Not trying to glorify off-the-grid living or anything, but I think it's interesting to think that in some (very specific) ways, the cavemen were actually superior to us.
I'm surprised to see the service speed listed at 6 knots. Seems quite low for a container ship, no? From my limited anecdotal evidence of having cargo ships pass my sailboat, they're usually doing easily 10-15 knots. I wonder if that's related to battery efficiency being better at lower power consumption? In any case, for a short route mostly in shielded waters, as presented in the article, this doesn't seem like a hige downside.
I also have to comment on the "emission-free" moniker. Was the construction of this ship emission-free? Definitely not. Is the maintenance of the ship going to be emission-free? Probably not. I'm not saying we shouldn't be trying to reduce our emissions, but seems like nowadays there's often an almost indistinguishable line between actually trying to produce a sustainable product, and just doing greenwashing to get more government grants and investors onboard.
So better that more innocents be punished than risk any guilty going free? Truly, your love of the strictest "definition" of democracy is baffling, though I think most would vote against you.
No, Democracy gets it wrong in both directions with more of the guilty set free and more of the innocent sent to prison at least compared to a hypothetical ideal system.
Mob justice can be true justice. As in this case precisely, there was proof that a court refused to listen to.
At some point you need to worry about deep fakes, etc, but there's still cases where the accused more or less says they are guilty and flips the court off and everybody acts like nothing can be done about it.
> After the material is processed and carved into the desired shape, it is coated in *mineral oil* to extend its lifetime.
I was thinking how, surely, mineral oil isn't food-safe and well-fit for use on a utensil. However, it turns out that while low-grade mineral oil is proved carcinogenic, the high-grade version is not believed to be so, unless dispersed in a mist. And apparently, we consume quite a bit of mineral oil due to it's use in the baking industry (though that figure comes from 1961)
Mineral oil can be found in most pharmacies marketed as a laxative. It's a common oil to use for cutting boards and other applications in proximity to food.
Right, another instance of where the mineral product is to be much preferred over the so-called natural one is with turpentine.
Mineral turpentine is to be much preferred over the natural one because the latter contains organic wood terpenes many if which are toxic and proven carcinogens - after all it stands to reason that they're dangerous, as trees have evolved to produce them to fend off or poison insects that attack them.
I find it somewhat distressing to see so many carpenters and woodworkers using terpenes-laced turpentine because they believe 'natural' is better.
It depends on what you mean by mineral oil. Without definition it's about as useless as saying I've painted something in 'color' rather than specifying what color one used.
Whilst flammable, and for the simplest ones, even explosive - most small straight-chained alkanes as often found in mineral oils are reasonably innocuous in that they're not considered organically poisonous (at least in small amounts), however that can change greatly the moment you add certain additives to change their properties (as is often done in commercial products).
The most notorious and outrageous example being when Thomas Midgley Jr added tetraethyllead to gasoline/petroleum in the 1920s thus managing to poison most of the population to at least some extent.
Now I have not tried Godot so I don't know how the two compare, but for where I work Zenject was basically the a-ha moment that made it possible to develop Unity apps/games that don't devolve into a huge unmaintanable mess.
