Esther Lederberg (December 18, 1922 โ November 11, 2006) pioneered bacterial genetics, discovering lambda phage and F factor, inventing replica plating and furthered the understanding of the transfer of genes between bacteria by specialized transduction. She founded Stanford's Plasmid Reference Center. Despite groundbreaking work, she never got tenure and her discoveries are often credited to her Nobel laureate husband.

Ancient DNA Reveals Most Europeans Had Dark Skin Until Just 3,000 Years Ago
Pale skin didn't dominate Europe until surprisingly recently.
"The textbook assumption is that when the first modern humans arrived in Europe, around 45,000 years ago, they quickly evolved pale skin to adapt to the regionโs dimmer sunlight relative to Africa. The logic seemed straightforward: lighter skin allows more ultraviolet light to penetrate, helping the body produce vitamin D, a nutrient essential for human health.
"However, a study of ancient DNA challenges this long-held assumption. By analyzing the genomes of 348 individuals who lived between 45,000 and 1,700 years ago, researchers have uncovered a surprising truth for some: for most of Europeโs history, the majority of its inhabitants had dark skin. Only around 3,000 years ago did lighter skin tones become dominant."

now, i'm not that interested in europa universalis V as a game. it doesn't really appeal to me. that's not to say it's bad (it's very very good), just that it's not for me.
i'm interested in europa universalis V as a program. i NEED to know how they pulled this off. i NEED to watch a two hour talk about this. what they've done is a borderline miracle and i need to know the details.
so if anyone at paradox is reading this: PLEASE give another presentation about multithreading in paradox games!!! or at least make a dev diary post about it!
we don't know for certain that the "every task knows its requirements" approach is how they did it, but i mean... i'm almost certain that's what they've done.
but i need to know for certain. and i need to know how. and how long it took. and what the challenges where. etc etc
your Intelยฎ Coreโข i5-12600 when Europa Universalis 5 asks the NT kernel to push eight thousand transparently compressed text files through windows defender so it can parse them in serial
#eu5
@vae you're right, bevy does do that, however, you have to write your game using the ECS paradigm. EU5 builds on literal decades of clausewitz engine games -- not just EU4, but CK3 and vicky 3 and HoI4 etc etc.
using ECS would mean a complete rewrite, throwing almost everything out the window. given how long it took them to make EU5 (and how many issues it's had on launch...), i don't think something like that was ever in the cards.
besides, it'd likely mean throwing out (or at the very least entirely redesigning) their paradox scripting language. this would be bad for the same reason that bethesda moving away from their janky modding setup to unreal engine 5 would be bad
