My last phone upgrade was in part because my previous phone didn’t have NFC, which is a significant technology nowadays. I wonder what’s going to motivate my next one, if it’s gonna be general performance, software support, or some hardware feature (like wifi… was it 7? That allocates a separate band for each device, so it doesn’t shit itself when you use more than 1 device in a large area).
I don’t know what the source is, but I remember seeing the “AI” bit first, and then a bit later people started editing it more and more, escalating things. I’d check sites like knowyourmeme if I wasn’t lazy right now.

I think they said the content updates are done, in the last content update?
Reminds me of The Flintstones Split the Atom
I am a fan of Valve, but this is just way exaggerated. For example, encourages you to save money by having sales? Isn’t that about manipulating you into buying more games than you would otherwise, because you perceive the value as being better?
I did not flip any signs, merely reversed the order in which the operations are written out. If you read the right side from right to left, it has the same meaning as the left side from left to right.
Hell, the convention that the sign is on the left is also just a convention, as is the idea that the smallest digit is on the right (which should be a familiar issue to programmers, if you look up big endian vs little endian)
Arguably, there is no objective truth, since the symbols and rules of mathematics are assigned arbitrarily, and are basically a social contract, just like language!
…Wait, that means there’s no objective meaning of “objective”, crap
If you have a bunch of unparenthesized addition and subtraction, left to right doesn’t matter.
Right, because 1-2-3=3-2-1.
I don’t think OOP’s nature makes them necessary, so much so as it enables them and popular programming principles encourage them. I think they’re a good thing, especially if there’s a way around them in case you can’t get the public interface changed and it doesn’t work for you, especially for performance reasons, but that should be done with care.
Funny story, when modding Unity games using external modloaders you’re writing C# code that references the game’s assemblies. And with modding you often need to access something that the developers made private/protected/internal. Now, you can use reflection for that, but a different trick you can use is to publicize the game’s assemblies for referencing in your code, and add an attribute to your assembly that tells the runtime to just… Let you ignore the access checks. And then you can just access everything as public.
If it was a single question, that does sound lame, my other thought was that those “online polling tools” might not be viable because you can’t put internal company communications into them… But if it’s stuff like food choices or something, then that might also not be a problem.
That said, my point still stands - what you describe does sound like what I’m saying. If you make a sheet with a dedicated field to put the answer into, it should be possible to reliably automate pulling out answers from all the files with excel-level knowledge, and without any additional sites or servers, just spreadsheet editing software and email.
Am I getting it correctly that the excel sheet was basically a form to fill in, with fields and labels, but as a spreadsheet? If so, that sounds pretty clever to me - there’re many better ways to do this, but if everybody working there has excel anyways, that’s a fast and easy way to get the data in a unified and automatable format without any extra infrastructure.

Or is it? We don’t know what’s going on inside the singularity, it might as well actually be a hole in spacetime.
And then fuck it up by pointing Linux at your windows EFI partition, end up with neither system bootable and make things worse as you panic and try to rush a fix without understanding what you’re doing.
If you’re new to how it all works and having a working machine is important, best to keep it simple and as separated as you can.
I’m also not convinced that “Windows doesn’t know about the other partitions”, that sounds like the kind of thing that’s true until it isn’t and it overwrites your Linux bootloader.
It definitely didn’t always require a wipe - I think it might be storage encryption by default that was introduced, that made it a requirement, where modifying/replacing system/bootloader components means it can’t decrypt the data anymore.
I would argue that memorization is important, but what you memorize and how you arrive at that is very personal. Forcing kids to memorize very specific things, and trying to enforce memorization (as opposed to the ability to arrive at the solution) seems like a bad idea to me.
I still don’t have the 10x10 multiplication table memorized, and I took physics in high school and work as a programmer. I have a use for knowing number multiples, and have domain-specific numbers memorized (2^8=8*8=256, 256*256=65536), but what I don’t remember off the top of my head I can figure out from the things I do know, from certain tricks, and from brute force mental math juggling numbers.
And the important thing to me is, I learned what I know not because somebody told me this is how I should do things, but because I picked them up as needed, a mix of memorizing common multiplications and figuring out tricks (like multiples of 9*N for N<11 being the digits N-1 and 10-N)
Oh I would hope not, it’s good practice to not let the person writing the code merge it in, to get a fresh pair of eyes on the code before it goes in.
Though in a way you could say he “fixed a bug” by merging a bugfix written by somebody else, but that feels like a failure of attribution.
The game, including worldgen, will still bug out at longer distances - the issues were reduced and a world limit was added to prevent you going too far, and IIRC past a certain point the world turns into non-stop ocean, but I’m pretty sure if you bypass those limits you’ll encounter chunks that outright fail to generate.
I believe they’ve made the point that it’s not chrome’s fault, but the site’s/user’s - images displayed on websites should be webp to benefit from optimizations for displaying images, but download links should be a different format. The error would be either the user downloading the images from the display instead of the download (including from sites that do not offer images for downloading purposes?), or the website not including separate versions for download where relevant.
I’m not necessarily sure if that’s a good take, but that’s my interpretation of what’s being said.
I’m just gonna chime in to point out those are both realtime combat focused games, requiring reflex and quick thinking, which is a notable departure from roguelike. On the other hand, Slay the Spire is all about careful planning, making decisions one step at a time, taking calculated risks. There’s no turn time limit, no time-based combos or bonuses, or time-gated doors that give you extra items if you go fast enough.
Oh, and also meta-progression. Hades and Dead Cells are both built with a central system of grinding out unlocks and upgrades - in slay the spire, the only meta-progression I know is having to beat the game with each character to unlock the next, and having to complete a few runs with each character to unlock all cards… And then the real progression, where you can continue beating the game with increasing difficulty levels to unlock the next.
Ultimately, this might not matter for you, and even if it does, a slow strategic deckbuilder might still not be for you, and that’s completely fine.
