I have to do the same thing but my natural response isn’t to attack others based on physical traits or religious beliefs. My natural response is to figure out who’s hoarding the most resources and convince them it’s in their best interest to share lest others take a more violent approach at a more desperate time.
I’m invested because higher adoption of my preferred platform causes prices of said platform to drop, making the platform economically attractive to develop for.
Fewer users causes less effort to go into the platform by larger corporations due to lower revenue streams, diminishing updates and feature count over time.
Eventually, users leave due to pain points not being addressed. Shrinking user bases causes independent developer talent to focus on other platforms since the economics no longer work in the marginal case.
The shrinking independent developer contributions to the ecosystem make the required effort to develop for it that much higher, since the tools and apps that would have been built weren’t.
Higher development costs slow down feature pacing, due to the increased effort needed to substitute the efforts of missing ecosystem developers.
Lack of feature cadence drives users to other platforms, shrinking the user base, bringing us back to step 1.
Assume someone is already going to buy a Chromebook for $200-300. Why not spend $900-1000 on a nicer laptop or desktop and need a console at all?
And if you’re a certain age, why invest in an ecosystem that will die with the next hardware iteration, when you’ve seen it happen over and over? I bought a cartridge of Super Mario Bros 3 in 1993 with my birthday money. Why should I have to buy it again, ever, if I still own the cart? Why not invest in an ecosystem that’s by and large always backwards compatible?
Same. Upgrading the computer I was already going to buy with hardware to play games was cheaper than the console.
Weird comparison.
I already own a computer to do daily work in other areas of my life. Why not add the extra $700 to my PC budget and access 35+ years of gaming history, vs. paying $700 to access ~700 games that I can’t play when the next hardware iteration drops?
It’s fine. No metallic taste since it’s not a reactive metal. In the microwave you just have to make sure it doesn’t contact the edge. You only get arcing of metal when there are sharp points or loops, which aren’t present on a disc.
Tried this, they’re all broken. Corelle flatware lasted quite awhile, but were still no match for my wife and kids. Everything is now stainless steel.
Yes. I’ve never had anything in Europe labeled as “spicy” that wouldn’t be outclassed by a mild hot sauce in the US. Closest I’ve come is an Indian restaurant in London. Also the hot sauce at Nando’s was an honorable mention.
Meanwhile the minimum spice level at the hole in the wall Mexican restaurant down the street in Texas is at the same level and hot enough in the high end that I can’t handle it. It’s perfect.
The standard ones should be standardized and any extras in an adjacent header. Power, reset, power LED, and HDD LED should be a single block.
It looks like the cover of an R. L. Stine book.
A 172 is the plane you train to get a beginner license in. 90-120mph max.
The first news broadcast I can remember the subject of is Tom Brokaw talking about a bombing in Bosnia… because I liked the alliteration.
It’s the recommended approach to replace WCF which was deprecated after .NET framework 4.8. My company is just now getting around to ripping out all their WCF stuff and putting in gRPC. REST interfaces were always a non-starter because of how “heavyweight” they were for our use case (data collection from industrial devices which are themselves data collectors).
Yay that’s like $60k saved
From other discussions I’ve seen, the guy stepping down was frustrated by having C code rejected that made lifetime guarantees more explicit. No rust involved. The patch was in service of rust bindings, but there was 0 rust code being reviewed by maintainers.
Companies hire outside auditors all the time. If you grew super fast and don’t retain legal counsel, that’s a great reason to give a full shakedown when you finally do hire lawyers to help with compliance.
I can see the difference just fine; I’m male.
I think the blue tone is from a shitty LED bulb
Hearthstone. So… Fine? I guess? I’m in a StormWind tavern as a human, and if I die I can resurrect at the nearest graveyard. Seems fine to me.
Get a timer controlled power outlet and hook a Hitachi magic wand to it. Place the wand under your pillow. The vibration is super intense and gets uncomfortable at the highest setting. Bonus points you can wake and bate since you have a massager handy.
