Continuous deployment pipelines usually have lots of automatic testing ensuring nothing breaks for the user.

GameCube. Because I have fond memories of it in my childhood. I prefer it over PS2 because it properly supports 4 player games (without any extra gadgets).

Smash Bros. Mario Kart. TimeSplitters. All excellent couch multiplayer games. Even Metroid Prime 2 had quite fun multiplayer.

And Soul Calibur 2 got Link.

That’s why Mega Drive was always superior

You don’t need to know math or physics to build a house. Sure, it can help if you know those things, but it’s not essential.

Same goes with programming. Math and programming are two separate skill sets, but knowing one can probably help with the other.

Also, a question for you. Why do you want to do Common Lisp? If you’re skeptical about your abilities I recommend to start with a more common programming language (like Python, Java, C#). Easier to find good learning resources.

That sounds bonkers. Chat, can you verify it’s real?

The Apollo program lead to some everyday inventions that has improved the lives for average people. Working on tough technical challenges can result in unexpected discoveries and inventions.

That means only one thing: Gex!

They really want to be WeChat

Speech to text is one thing. Actually understanding all the intricate details and variations of language is incredibly difficult. It’s good enough for some stuff, but I’ve yet to see a system a system that’s reliable enough for day to day use, especially in a car.

Scenarios like this happens way too often:

“Set alarm for fifteen minutes”

“Ok, setting alarm fifty minutes from now”

“No! FIFTEEN minutes”

“I’m sorry, I don’t understand what you mean”

“Remove old alarm and set it to fifteen minutes instead”

“Playing song on Spotify…”

Realtime non-cloud voice control is still unreliable. Gonna be a while before that can replace physical buttons.

I’m also glad I did it as a hobby before I started viewing software development as a job. No code from me if there’s no money on the table.

The more people that must participate in a conspiracy for it to work, the less likely it is to be true.

Can 3 people keep a secret? Sure. Can 1000 people keep a secret? Hell no!

They can only vote on CCP approved candidates. Also, 50% of the votes are allocated to big corps like banks.

Their election system is a joke.

CC is a great alternative for some cases, but far from all. Most artists want to protect their work, and CC don’t help with that.

How much Creative Commons media do you consume?

Open environments are way more productive and creative then lock stuff for decades.

Source?

The idea of copyright and patents is to ensure that you can get compensated for your own work. There’s no point in creating a unique idea when Disney can just copy it and take all the money for themselves.

There are flaws with how copyright and patents are implemented, but that doesn’t mean they’re fundamentally broken. The alternative would be much worse.

Mickey Mouse is no longer as relevant in Disney’s dominance anymore. They got bigger cash cows to milk.

That’s a bummer. I loved TS2 and TS3. I really hoped they would finally do it this time and release a fourth one.

Please list all communist governments that did not turn to be authoritarian

TIL China is not communist.

China is communism. It might not live up to the all the rainbow unicorn fantasy dreams of a system where workers owns the means of the production and all the yada yada, but it’s communism.

Ask the average Hong Konger if they prefer the capitalistic system they were in before or the communistic system they’re headed towards. Most I know prefer the former.

Wait! I forgot they don’t have free speech anymore.
