I completely agree that business ghouls doing business ghoul things make studios make worse games… doesn’t really affect my point though… studios are not making games based on a “bar” set by the consumers as described in the original post…
They are part of the studios… point was “the bar” is “fun/interesting”. The vast majority of people that purchase games don’t have a bar as defined by the comment I originally replied to.
Studios can make whatever they want. People aren’t putting in orders.
Targeted ads are obviously way more effective and therefore generate more money. But it’s not the only way.
I’m not so sure this has turned out to be all that true
Why would it involve re encoding?
It was target not walgreens, and it was probably not even real. Please stop belligerently pushing unsubstantiated bullshit as if it’s incontrovertible fact. https://www.kdnuggets.com/2014/05/target-predict-teen-pregnancy-inside-story.html
Meanwhile, llms are less useful at helping me write code than intellij was a decade ago
Usually it doesn’t matter what abstractions you choose when you try to factor them to support hypothetical future work, because chances are you incorrectly anticipate future needs.
In other words, generic code that only supports one use case will almost certainly have to be deconstructed to allow a good generic implementation for 2 use cases, so it is better to just write simple code and factor code out when you can see the real commonalities.
In other, other words, KISS, YAGNI
I hate reading code like this. It means that there is a bunch of object or global state that could be getting modified by anything all over the place that I can’t see just by looking at the method. In other words, if you say you understand this method, it is because you are making assumptions about other code that might be wrong.
I’ll take a 30 line pure function over a web of methods changing member state every time.
A lot of discussion in some replies to this, but what I want to know is what you want people to actually do?
Do you think people should vote this upcoming election? If so, who do you think they should vote for?
What do think would happen if people reading this thread (and no one else, let’s not pretend we have any sort of real influence here) followed your advice? Would it actually make the world a better place?
Libredirect extension will redirect to public proxitok instances so you could watch them without going to tiktoks site directly
That doesn’t make any sense. How does arguing against your position do anything but harm it?
Maybe just give them grief over the myriad negative things they do that don’t counter your position?
It’s slower than chrome or webkit based browsers, hangs out with Safari in terms of standards support, and can’t hold a candle to either other browser when it comes to battery life.
Sources?
You can do whatever you want, but if you actually care about animals you will have actual discussions with people instead of burning bridges and going on the internet to brag about it
No, but letting perfect be the enemy of improvement is counter productive. Maybe that’s a chance to introduce someone to some recipes that could scratch the itch that cheese and bacon do, or connect with them and potentially form a bridge for them to walk instead of meeting them with open hostility?
I’ve read this a few times. If ethanol is mandated how are there stations with ethanol free? Do they just have a pay an extra tax or something?
Repeating something does not make it more correct
No (only because as you mentioned it’s not going to fly at the current time. They absolutely would if they could). That does not mean I think ignoring it is less harmful than calling it out.
To my knowledge upgrading to the newer release of any of those linux distros was not blocked by having only slightly old and perfectly serviceable hardware.
