The main limitation of Godot vs Unity was they don't have a community nearly as big, and that makes their development much slower than it could be. If enough people makes the switch, their future could be really, really bright. Moreover, many Unity users are very talented game engine experts that can make huge contributions to the code.
I really don't get people switching to Unreal.
When there is a near monopoly in a market, and one of the main players do something uncool and survives, the other players tend to imitate. A recent example is the raising prices of streaming platforms. An timeless one is every time someone rises oil prices.
What makes they think Epic will not pull the same move or worse next year? Remember: they used to be very expensive, until they were forced to imitate Unity pricing schemes.
Good to have.
But long term the damage is:
Unity can pull the rug under you anytime. Raising prices, changing revenue schemes, revoking licenses, imposing tracking, even spyware or malware on your users... Nothing is out of the table. It really never is when you rely on close source engines, but until recently there was a confidence they would not be assholes.
The only way to be sure you are not going to be fucked off ever is using open source engines with big community support (such as Godot and many JS libraries) or open standards (most prominent here is HTML5).
La Barbie estereotípica.
El mayor apoyo de Sánchez, probablemente, es la total ceguera del PP (y ya no digamos Vox) sobre vascos y, en menor medida, catalanes. Es muy difícil llegar al poder cuando hay comunidades autónomas enteras donde el 90% de los votantes creen que les odias. Y garantizo que eso no es obra de los nacionalistas. El ejemplo más claro es cuando se habla cuponazos, se nos llama insolidarios, etc. No sólo es una asquerosa mentira, es que es un intolerable insulto. ¿Por qué habríamos de votar a quien nos insulta?
Y luego ya está la suprema tontería de pretender que un partido te apoye cuando en tu programa tienes cambiar las reglas para hacerlo desaparecer o directamente ilegalizarlo. Hay que ser bobo.
Recuerdo cuando se decía que el motivo del éxito de Sánchez era el genial estratega Iván Redondo. Tras el espectacular éxito del adelanto electoral (que todos dábamos por su funeral), y las decepcionantes apariciones en medios de Redondo, cada vez tengo más claro que el genial estratega era su jefe.
Yo diría que el principal motivo por el que Sánchez sigue ahí es porque la mayor parte de la militancia está a muerte con él, y el electorado lo prefiere con mucho a la alternativa. En las encuestas, ni Feijoo ni ninguno de los suyos tiene ni de lejos tanto apoyo interno.
Sus rivales (tanto a izquierda como a derecha) deberían dejar de verlo como el pringado sin apoyos que se aferra al poder con alfileres y a punto de caerse que no es, y empezar a tratarlo como el político hábil, correoso y sobradamente experimentado que sí es. De lo contrario, Sánchez se jubilará en la Moncloa, aún riéndose a carcajadas de los que llevan años pronosticando su caída en cuestíon de meses.
Not sure if it is a survey, a test, or a checklist of new tools to add to my toolbox.
But I really like it.

The inaugural #StateOfHTML 2023 Survey has launched!
Read my blog post for background:

Sorry. English is not my native language, and it shows. I have put a terrible example.
For JS component heavy applications, CSS-in-JS is the best choice by far. Much more intuitive, maintainable, and effective. If your component CSS is a part of what defines the component, it should go with the component, and have an effect only on it.
If your application has so widely used and standardized styles that you can share a lot of them, CSS files are cool.
But nowadays I find myself less and less in the second escenario. And for shared features, CSS variables are being revolutionary, especially for dark/light theming, custom font sizes, etc. They are making CSS files more and more a big list of variable values, to be used by components.
For example, if you start using 'they' as a non-gender replacement for 'he', you are making up your own rule, because you are not using 'they' as the established rules say. If this change gets widespread enough, it will get into dictionaries and formal education, becoming the new established rule. When you ask everybody to refer to you as 'they', you are not only making up a new rule for you, you are pushing for your new rule to become the established one, effectively making up a new English rule, if successful.
Really, nobody really respects all standard rules in his own language. Each country, community, region and echo chamber makes up their own dialect, with its own non-written rules including vocabulary, pronunciation...
Spanish orthography, for example, is one of the most formalized and rational there is and it has been more of less the same for centuries. But it has changed in many little ways since I was a kid.
The only constant is change.
Never tried Tailwind, but my experiences with Bootstrap made me appreciate CSS much more. Bootstrap makes easy things easier, and hard things harder, which is exactly the opposite of what I look for when I am choosing tools. Nowadays it makes even less sense, since IA makes easy things trivial.
Rules start to "change" when people stops following them and makes up new ones, and stabilize when the change is so widespread that is formally accepted and taught (i.e., when rules "change" officially). Every year, new words and meanings are accepted; grammar changes are not so frequent, but still happen. The only exception are dead languages.
Never heard before about 'Xir', but I think retroactively changing history is a really nasty way of changing things, borderline fascist.
Language rules are always changing. Nowadays, the main problem with gender-neutrality is that we don't really know when and how the rules are going to stabilize. Only time will tell.
I'm surprised there are so many different initiatives to sue OpenAI for essentially the same reason. Shouldn't they unite?
Nice. He can start paying his first mortgage now.
Un sonido realmente atronador donde los haya.
A clear example of Speciesism!
