Commercial real estate loans are interest only? I had never heard of that before, but it makes sense with the buried lede:
borrowers prefer handing the property keys over to creditors over putting good money after bad
Which is what happens whenever a company has an asset they don’t own and no longer want. Shrug and handover the keys. Seems to me like the lenders are going to be the ones taking the haircut, despite what the article asserts.
Send your thanks directly to the maintainer (preferably email/mastadon/twitter/etc, not a ticket)! Open source maintainers don’t get a lot of positive direct feedback.
Have they posted anything about their experiences developing this? I’m curious on their thoughts of Godot vs Unity. This might be the most established studio to ship something in Godot.
I do this with emails. ADHD not austism. I’ll throw this out as a suggestion:
Amazon, for its many faults, has a distinct and effective approach to writing. Put a short summary/objective paragraph at the top, detail needs/design/whatever, alternatives, whatever supporting information in an appendix, and give everything headers so you can easily find what you want. The idea is to make it pyramid shaped: the important information right at the beginning and more detail the further you go down. Someone reading it can just stop reading when they need to.
I’ve seen documents that are like 10 pages of ‘real’ content and a couple hundred appendix pages. I wouldn’t go to this extreme in personal communication, but might help realize what needs to be kept or not.
Also bullet points are fine. It baffles me they aren’t considered ‘real’ writing.
Definitely an all time “worst person you know just made a great point” moment.
There’s obvious connection between today and the 2000 election’s Bush v Gore court case. I suspect he doesn’t see it that way, and there’s a kernel of truth: applying political muscle to cause a clear coin-flip election to land your way isn’t the same as riling up a mob after a clear loss. It’s still categorically the same though.
Goes to show the current authoritarianism in the GOP isn’t new. What’s new is scope, and what enables it is the lack of guardrails within the party.
That said, the upcoming threat needs to be taken seriously, and I’m willing to bite my tongue for just about anything that helps push back.
