Fun way to look at it, you at the north give us a lot of planned obsolence goods in exchange for our monies. North even gets into politics pushing developing countries infrastructure towards oil economies. and then, we consume what you led us to, and suddenly we're the bad guys.
but now they added this task switcher to iPad which also appears when dragging from the left edge, and now going back is like rolling a dice. you don't know how how to go back without triggering the task switcher so it ends up taking multiple attempts to go back without the OS consuming the input
godot ticks at that rate, but if you don't transform UI things, they don't get redrawn.
so maybe the framebuffer is switched every frame, but draw calls shouldn't be reissued unless needed.
also, I think it is possible to make it not tick from time updates, but only from input event updates, or maybe an animation actually running. similar to what the editor does.
I always thought of this as a gimmick from the government. Why would they risk an operation just to send hopes to the hostages. I always felt this was more to get good will from people than for the hostages themselves.
And as always, only part of the story is told. Who were the guerrilla? who where the hostages? not defending them, but in the countryside is common that the guerilla defends the farmers, and the hostages are corrupt politicans.
I would suggest you look up a bit on the history of the conflict, which is long and very bloody. Most of the time its regular citizens and army personnel that are kidnapped (it's a business in human trafficking) - i knew some of them and the experiences are horrific.
Have you spent any considerable amount of time living in Colombia to feel confident enough to make these type of claims: "not defending them, but in the countryside is common that the guerilla defends the farmers, and the hostages are corrupt politicans."
A close family member of mine was kidnapped in the early 90's and I can assure you that he was neither a politician or a corrupt one at that. First thing he did after paying his ransom was to send his children abroad where they remain to this very day.
Aren't you aware that Colombia has the highest number of internally displaced people in the world at 8 million! Guerrillas aren't solely responsible for this, but the paramilitary groups which are equally responsible emerged as a desperate response to counter their growing power and influence throughout large regions in the country.
Aren't you aware that guerrilla groups such as FARC recruited over 18,000 minors in the countryside against their will. Poor peasant children some as young as 12 forced to take up arms and fight for a cause which long ago lost any credibility among the general public.
Would you mind pointing me to the media that you consume which has allowed you to have such an enlightened perspective which seems to elude those of us living in Colombia?
I don’t know if you’re Colombian, but this sounds like Marxist wishful thinking. When I was there with my Colombian ex, everywhere we drove around the countryside had military or police checkpoints, and at every one of them the people clapped, tooted the horn and yelled thank you out the window at the guys with guns outside. We went to visit one of her uncles who is an actual farmer growing soursops, and he told us stories of how the guerrillas came to extort people years before, and if you didn’t pay to support their “revolution” they would spray oil all over your farmland, ruining it.
There is a world out there where people pay 15~20% of their annual income to buy a computer
seen under a different lens: you think that an effort a person does over 3.65 days to afford a computer is expensive, while many people would have to accumulate the effort of 73 days to afford it.
I switched to Colemak 4 years ago or so, and I think it is one of the best investments of my time ever made. Yes, you will feel similar to that feeling you get when you write with your left hand (something like, why tf I'm doing this, if i'm perfectly capable of living my life as I have been doing before), but it is a skill that will benefit you all your life and I would recommend you to do so.
Still, it is not perfect. The pinky getting tired is something that happens, but it is still so much better than QWERTY. I don't think I will try that QWYRFM layout, as I haven't felt big pain since switching (before switching I felt some pain, but after, I slightly feel something, but after a lot of effort, and not enough to feel worried). And I think if I start feeling something to worry, there are some things I could do before, like using a split keyboard, or optimizing the desk height, before switching to another layout.
Again, try Colemak (or if you want to try any other layout, welcome). It will do good for you.
I would also add their animation system is crap. If you try something like Animancer, you will never ever want to interface to the AnimatorController stuff because is so badly designed.
Overall their business model of providing some kind of foundation to be filled up with plugins is terrible. I don't have an issue with plugins, but needing to rely on plugins for the very basic things like input management, localization, animation, source control... Just so they do less, and earn more (because otherwise people would just wouldn't pay for that, presumably?). That's a shitty way to run a software company.
Only recently they have started to care, but I think it is too late, and it will be hard to beat the momentum that Godot already has. I would bet that in a couple years the tables will turn and Unity will be juggling to keep their market share.
That's an issue you don't have if you provide source code.
If a customer relies on bad architecture/undefined behaviour, that shouldn't pull back all the other customers that want their subscription materialize into engine improvements.
Unity doesn't have a single source code license or price. It's negotiated per-contract and usually has strings attached (e.g. be the first to ship this tech, attend UnityCon and give this demo). They only do it for big companies as well.
