God I hope so

I just read opinion articles (for those that don’t know, opinion articles are intended to bridge the gap; they’re articles papers publish to share angles the editors disagree with). The problem is honest conservative media is basically gone. The sides have diverged to little more than fact vs fiction. Even the opinion articles can get totally ridiculous at times.

IIRC heat is the bigger issue for lithium batteries.

They’re temporarily less effective in cold weather but excessive heat is the battery killer.

But what does having the cursor at the right do for you?

Like, are you just manually adding URL parameters all the time?

So, I don’t know… But I’m also curious as to why/what you’re trying to achieve and whether you’ve considered any alternative solutions?

Which is insane since they insist on a economic system from 200 years ago.

I think it’s just that your argument against communism seemed to be based on its age, i.e. it “being old and out dated.”

(Agree communism is not great FWIW)

I would be so upset if Hunt Showdown did this.

Hell, I’m mad Apex Legends did it and I have very little time invested in that game.

I really wish game developers would stop with this kernel level anticheat nonsense that doesn’t even work. Everyone in every gaming community just points the finger, people that play games using Easy Anticheat say Battleye sucks and vice versa.

If kernel level anticheat actually worked, there would be a definitive answer to which games have good anticheat.

People typically aren’t stuck on minimum wage because the powers that be won’t let them have a decent wage. Most adults are not on minimum wage ( in the US, less than 2% as of 2022; in the UK, low pay accounts for less than 4% as of 2024 ).

There’s something to be said for the rich taking advantage of folks, but … bothering worrying about abstract rich guy metrics like making the GDP go up is not going to help anyone get out of their situation.

Sure, focus on other aspects of politics like making education affordable, strengthening unions, etc things that will help you achieve your goals or help you once you’ve achieved your goals. However, there’s a lot one can directly do to address their situation that’s a lot less abstract than “vote for a representative, to write a bill, to potentially help you, to possibly get passed by your legislature, and possibly get passed by your executive branch (or your equivalent process).”

… and even then that latter concept has little to do with “why someone on minimum wage should pay attention to the GDP.”

So… Regardless of county, I would say minimum wage workers should not worry about the economy. Instead put that energy into finding a career path of some sort.

That’s not me bashing minimum wage workers, it’s just … the best thing a minimum wage worker can do to improve their circumstance.

Worrying about the GDP or stocks or anything else isn’t particularly helpful, especially if you’re living paycheck to paycheck (which at least in the US where I live, most minimum wage workers are).

Even for middle and upper middle class, worrying about GDP growth and how the stock market is doing day to day (unless you’re on the verge of retirement and trying to time cashing out stocks) is not a particularly helpful exercise.

Maybe it has some abstract effect on what social services you get or whether your employer survives another year… but you can probably find better indicators of that (e.g. in the days where computers were reducing paper usage, it should’ve been increasingly obvious that working at the paper mill probably wasn’t going to be a great long term plan).

Nintendo is in a very envious spot in general. Hell, I think Nintendo makes some great games, I just wish they wouldn’t force me to buy yet another computer solely for the purpose of playing their games. I haven’t owned a Mario Kart or Zelda game in years but I’d love to play if I could do so on PC/Linux.

Yeah, maybe I’m just wrong in general … The above doesn’t look that different from say black ops 6 footage.

I definitely wish for a return to the linear format (or simi linear where there are a few concurrent linear quests going on). I think straight up open world just lends itself to making a lot of walking simulators.

Halo Infinity was one of the most boring games I ever played between the weapons sounding like toys and the spread out objectives with no clear central mission.

Because graphics still sell games. You can do simplified graphics like Nintendo and still sell games, but lots of people want the photo realistic experience and the bar for that has gone way way up incrementally over the years.

Staunch Obama and Biden supporter here … I’ve read Obama and Kamala’s most recent books…

You do not need to be a Trumpie to get annoyed with the “everything is emshittified”, “fuck capitalism”, etc posts and comments.

To be fair the browser default for stuff like this is often kind of bad. Like browsers would rather give you a scroll bar than do a word break (and I can pretty much guarantee that’s what’s happened here as I can scroll right and see the full number).

The one thing I will say is this isn’t a human… Deer probably aren’t in their training data at near the rates humans are.

It’s definitely still concerning, but also still maybe more trustworthy than some human drivers. We seriously give licenses to too many people. Within the last week I’ve seen a guy that went into the other lane by like 4’ multiple times and I also saw a lady who blocked 2 lanes of traffic so she could make an illegal U turn on a 4 lane city street (rather than you know turning off on a side street/one of many nearby parking lots and turning around).

Having political takes isn’t necessarily a bad thing but when your entire personality is “capitalism is bad” then you’re an insufferable twat ruining the platform for everybody else.

Man that resonates…

Some Linux bad Windows good troll

There is a difference there in that these are digital copies (easy to make more copies) vs physical books (hard to make more copies).

That said, the only reason this is an issue is copyright lasts too long on relatively short lived games. If copyright on games was a more reasonable “15 years since their last major revision”, this wouldn’t be a problem.

The problem is you’re effectively leaving “can I program and work through the kinds of tasks this job entails” and entering “how do you work through a complex theoretical research topic” land.

White board questions should be relative softballs related to the work you’re actually doing to see how you think… Now that’s often forgon for “welcome to a game of algorithm and data structure trivia!” but this is just a much more extreme version of that.

Also if you don’t actually know the answer, how can you judge the direction? Even if you do know the answer for a problem that complicated, can you say the interviewee isn’t solving the problem in a novel and possibly better way?

I presume he was looking for specific terms like DAWG (directed acyclic word graph) and things like that as well… Which I know because he would teach me the names of things as I slowly rediscovered them in conversation. Personally, I don’t put much stock in grading someone on their knowledge of obscure data structures and algorithms either.

I think you should pick up a civics book and/or lookup what a monarch is.
