If C is so great, why do you have to hack in garbage collection?

Seeing that Thor movie once was 1 time too many. I can’t imagine seeing it 33 times.

This just blew my mind. I had always assumed Java was older. I started writing hobby projects in Java in the 90s. I don’t think I heard about Python until the early 2000s.

I find it difficult to believe that breaking down steel to be 3d printed into large structures for a bridge is faster or more energy efficient than casting the parts instead.

I started playing through Skyrim again last year, but didn’t get very far before I lost interest.

I jump back in to left4dead every year or two. The original is probably my favorite shooter. I haven’t found Back4Blood as compelling.

Why is half this article about population decline? The writing also seems weird in places. AI generated, maybe?

I played Tetris for the first time on my friend’s Gameboy back in the 90’s. I didn’t get addicted at the time and I’m still not, but I do play Tetris 99 on my switch occasionally.

Overall, it’s an amazing game. It can be learned in minutes but takes years to master.

I felt like the real prank was on me for having paid money to watch it

“why” is a perfectly valid question to ask

That’s not the point though. The point is that the human comedian and the AI both benefit from consuming creative works covered by copyright.

Further what do you think I meant with high end premium?

The base model X costs twice the base model Y. I’d consider the X expensive. I wouldn’t put the Y in the same category.

I just picked up Again the Storm a few days ago and have been enjoying that. I like that the settlement building isn’t drawn out like other strategy games, and I don’t really feel bad about it when I lose since I can still earn perks and bonuses that persist throughout the campaign.

GOTY for me is definitely Balder’s Gate 3. Enjoyed it start to finish, and there was enough content that my second playthrough didn’t feel like a rehash of the first.

I wouldn’t consider the Tesla model Y a high end premium vehicle. It was the best selling vehicle in the world earlier this year, in spite of the higher price than gas-powered competitors:

Exactly. I use 10 at home and at work and have no issues with either. There’s no technical reason for anyone to upgrade.

Sierra entertainment! I was a big fan of the kings quest games, and Sierra online was my first experience with online gaming.

What do you mean by UTC only?

Why are they worse?

Check your employment contract. If that includes an NDA or a confidentiality agreement, the company may own your design as well as any code produced. Writing the program from scratch a second time may still end up being company property.

Given that they didn’t put your program into production, it’s unlikely they would pursue you legally for releasing a new version on your own.

Every significant organisation, government, big company probably had done something terrible at some point.

Yup, which is why it’s basically impossible to be an ethical consumer these days. “The Good Place” did a really entertaining exploration of this idea.
