Ive played in a few of these. It’s an absolute blast once you get your settings dialed in and balanced to everyone else. If they’re not, then the player in the smallest game tends to have a lot of downtime.

The only downside is that the participants need to be familiar enough with their chosen game to do a randomizer which means roping in casual players is difficult.

Also, there are a massive number of unsupported games that you can play like this that are not part of the main website. https://multiworld.news/apworlds.html

I dont want another visit from the hat man

Excel, Active Directory, and to a somewhat lesser degree MSSQL.

Good. This should be forced via regulations. Touchscreen controls are provably more dangerous than buttons due to the distraction.

I suppose this is true. If you somehow don’t feel the difference in your hand or in your mouth, you could swallow it by mistake.

On the flip side, The contents of that plastic container are just silica gel beads made for consumables so it should be mostly inert and pass right through. They say “Do not eat” on the package, but they’re not especially harmful if you do. The biggest risk is an intestinal blockage if you eat too many, but this is not likely to happen with a single mistake

Those don’t need to be mutually exclusive

No, the desiccant is surrounded in hard plastic. You’d realize what it was as soon as you held it

I like this game. I choose to believe that Bill is the waitress.

I don’t remember where I heard it, but if your evidence starts and ends with “It looks like…” then its probably bullshit.

Important note about muddling: you’re just looking to get the mint to release the oils, but not the chlorophyll. Dont beat the hell out of your mint, just press it against the sugar a couple times.

If you press the mint too much, it will give you a bitter herbal flavor that is not desirable.

This would be a double edged sword. Without regulation, the ISP will work in whichever way grants them the most money.

This means that they probably won’t go after copyright claims unless the rightsholders pay them first, but they will ramp up data collection efforts to sell to brokerage firms and will also engage in rate-limiting on high-bandwith use cases like streaming or torrenting unless you pay extra.

Not super surprising. We tend to follow whatever the US does in terms of international politics.

“Kamala supports abortion which I really like. Trump says that he supports weed which I really like.”

If only Kamala Harris made some kind of overt promise to legalize marijuana federally.

fun fact: If you ever see any of those quirky “solve this complex equation for the Wifi password” It’s always either the phone number of the place, or the first X digits of Pi.

if it has a sanitize feature, it would get hot enough to disinfect it too. Just run a couple empty washes with soap on the hottest, longest cycle and you’d be fine

While introducing bugs is certainly a risky side-effect of AI coding, the history of software development has included controversial changes in the past, including the transition from assembly language to higher-level languages, which faced resistance from some programmers who worried about loss of control and efficiency. Similarly, the adoption of object-oriented programming in the 1990s sparked criticism about code complexity and performance overhead. The shift to AI augmentation in coding may be the latest transition that meets resistance from the old guard.

Stepping away from assembly did have that effect though. The tradeoff was that code was easier to make and easier to optimize, but its undeniable that it did lead to a loss of control and efficiency.

Similarly, the shift to object-oriented programming also increased performance overhead, but the tradeoff was that you can seamlessly reuse code which makes larger projects more manageable.

The article is right that AI coding is probably here to stay, but all the disadvantages that people are highliting are real concerns that won’t go away, they’ll just be adopted as the new normal.

Just pay your staff a livable wage and get rid of tipping entirely.

That’s misleading. Their SDK which is used to build their enterprise product is no longer open source. You can still compile the main version without it.

There was a period where you couldn’t, but it was a bug that has now been fixed.

The worst possible thing to happen to any series is the fandom taking things too seriously.

Sometimes its okay to have a series of silly movies about space wizards. It doesn’t need to to have any deeper meaning.

Isnt this basically what the Catholic Church did in Dogma when they introduced Buddy Christ? Like down to the motivations and everything?
