To any and all people with ADHD reading this and the comments (like myself): this article is not for you and it’s ok that you can’t do this. Your brain doesn’t work this way and it’s ok and you’re not bad.

Something I’ve asked in the past: “what is the one thing that the person hired into this role, if they did that, at the end of the year you’d say that was a great hire” seems to always catch people off guard and I’ve gotten answers that were almost wildly out of scope for the job responsibilities. When that happens it’s interesting to see their response when you point that out. Also huge red flag means the person interviewing you had no idea what they’re interviewing you for or everyone has a different idea what this role does. I ask this to everyone at every round.

I’m not a lawyer but the way I always understood it was that this license agreements are not really valid as contracts because a contract is something all parties agree to and can amend. Consumers can’t amend these terms therefor while they may limit liability they not valid contracts. Is that not true?
Is there a pre-intro version of this document? I am lost at the Introduction itself and not able to get past it. In particular:
> If I need to position child items within the grid, I need to specify the line number for each item by using grid-column.
Stuck at what is 'line number' in this context? I tried to force my way through it hoping context would fill it in but immediately got stuck at fractions like '1 / 3' followed by '1 / 4'.
Line numbers are the dividing lines between columns. If you have 2 columns you’ll have 3 lines: |a||b| the two lines in the middle actually count as 1. Hence 3 lines. So 1/3 is not a fraction its column span. It means “start at line 1 and end at line 3”.

Call me cynical but it’s a shell game as far as I can see: same product but new name, probably cheaper parts, more expensive so more profit per unit…except they won’t sell as many units, but on paper it will look good so the market will reward them. I can’t tell though if investors and analysts are too stupid to see it this way or maybe they don’t care either? I guess it’s better to not care because you make money so instead of calling it out when you see it, just give it pass and everyone makes more money. I know Google isn’t the only company that does this it’s just a sad commentary on tech and the market that it works.

Is anyone actually surprised by this? The guy is full of crap so unless a court orders him to do it he’s not gonna spend a dime and he never planned on it
Basically this seems to be saying that this is a no-go at the moment and possibly forever. We’re going to need innovation on top of innovation on top of innovation to make this work…if it can be done at scale. To me though I think we’re looking at the wrong problem. Why scale the technology up? Could we just build smaller facilities…like a lot of them that serve as local hubs that cultivate and grow for an area? You know…like a farm? Go to your local “farm” to get the meat. If the hump is scale…stop scaling get smaller.
I’m cynically assuming the answer to why this won’t work is that there’s no money in it so no one would fund it.

What’s the line from Jurassic Park? “They were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should”
So I started playing with Godot in early 2020 and remembered reading an article on ECS and why they don’t do it. I just found it again and they say this pattern has been around in the game industry since the 2010s feels like 1) it’s good Godot doesn’t implement this, just to not deal with any potential Unity BS 2)this patent would fail if you’ve got deep enough pockets and time. Here’s the article: https://godotengine.org/article/why-isnt-godot-ecs-based-gam...
