This is one the lesson plans that was a trigger at the time. It is a typical constructivist pedagogy. https://web.archive.org/web/20141023181930/https://api.ning.... Fixed beliefs are things like America

I'm just saying having a majority doesn't mean fully controlling congress. It has nothing to do with whether one is a lame duck. Also, posting limits are annoying as fuck.

Get Propranolol - miracle drug. Totally takes the anxiety out of presentations. I used it a couple times at large presentations, and it was really helpful. Since then I don't need it. Once you go through presentations a few times succe

Falsehoods like that are 100x worse than the price of insulin. 90-95% of diabetes in the US is Type 2, and it is crap diet that causes it. https://www.cdc.gov/diabetes/basics/type2.html And if you want cheap insul

They can probably track accurately enough to identify that 90% of games aren't worth billing. Then once they are working with the top 10%, they can negotiate something that makes sense, like submit your monthly sales number, and Unity

They are providing a game engine to make the game. If that's not worth it, switch. They don't own your C# code or assets, so they can be moved. For a lot of devs, it provides a lot of value. I understand for F2P, low ARPU games th

Those are exactly the types of games that would be much worse off under an Unreal style royalty. Cult of the Lamb is $24.99 on Steam Unreal royalty is 5%, so $1.25 per sale Unity is $0.20 So royalty is ~6x more If there was a reasonable wa

That's not what Unity is saying - they are saying reinstalls do not count. From their faq: Does a reinstall of an app on the same device count towards the Unity Runtime Fee? No, we are not going to charge a fee for reinstalls. htt

They can't force you to pay. The only leverage or legal claim they have is if you want to update your title after Jan 2024, then they can ask you to get up to date on your account.

"Meat and dairy comes in plastic wrap or bottles." I kind feel like if your butcher doesn't use butcher paper, you aren't really going to a butcher but a meat department at a grocery store.

It's no fun to drive in the rain, so either pick a nice place to stay for Wed/Thu during the storm, or postpone the trip. If you need to get south, just drive the 5, it shouldn't enough rain to flood it. The central valley fl

Lincoln was not an Abolitionist hero as popularly lionized, but a status quo "moderate,' reluctant to rock the boat. Even though he knew it to be wrong, he did nothing in the affirmative until Secession. Lincoln's election

Those are great features of a great language to program with, but when you are talking about adoption, you want good, easy tooling to expose the good stuff. When the first two chapter of the oft recommended Clojure for the Brave and True ar

It is probably net positive for advanced users who have niche needs that the different editors address, but I'm saying it is bad for beginners/learners. More specifically, I'm saying emacs/cider is bad for beginners&#x2F

Telling someone new to a language to start with emacs & cider is a disaster. They are rock solid amazing tools for 2% of programmers. I like emacs, but it is harder to learn than Clojure, and trying to teach someone both at the same tim

Of course you are right, but it all started with the tight integration with Jetbrains editing package.

Solid tooling can really boost a language. Clojure advocates should internalize that.

The Poker prototype could be from 30 years ago, and drops to 15FPS on any game action! Arcadia is a neat toy at this point, but run far away if you are looking to do real world commercial development.

I think you are seriously overselling the talk, and what Arcadia is ready for. you: Here's a talk on making real world commercial games with Clojure video: dozens of game jam games have been made

That's atypical of most high income, high quality districts in California. E.g., Palo Alto is currently fighting with Stanford over a housing expansion because of the impact of additional students at local schools.

Eli, I think you started with a reasonable question, but then followed it up with an unnecessarily passive aggressive question.

Hmm, Iran actively supports ~100 Shiite terror groups in Syria and Iraq. If you speak Arabic, here is an article in Al-Hayat. http://www.alhayat.com/Articles/9542195/ And of course Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Because if you read it, it doesn't close access, it demands background information on visa applicants. Saudi Arabia is already compliant.
