This is their pattern. Way Kate to the market with some half baked ideas that has all these aspirations but never does everything right. Plus required Microsoft account, Cortana/copilot/gimmick of the week forced in there.

• windows phone
• surface
• hololens (didn't even make it to market)
• mixed reality

... Many more

That's funny, it's my first confirmed "wait until it's on sale" game

It was also short. For 80 dollars I would expect 120 hours in game like RDR2. That's the bar. If it's not that long, I think I finished the first one in 25, then I'll happily wait until it's lower

Iv come to loathe the "pythonic way" because of this. They claim they wanted to make programming easier, but they sure went out of their way to not follow conventions and make it difficult to relearn. For example, for me not having lambdas makes python even more complex to work with. List operations are incredibly easy with map and filter, but they decided lambdas weren't "pythonic" and so we have these big cumbersome things instead with wildly different syntax.

Same with me. If it's really good it's my simple way of honoring them. Plus the music is usually top notch

Meanwhile all the boomers talk about how they have such find memories of walking around unsupervised until the streetlights came on or whatever lame Facebook nostalgia meme they're parroting

That's a different problem. The original question was when would a competent dev use an LLM.

I mean, it's not like it ships it to production. You can read code it writes and modify it if you don't like it, or choose not to use it.

I use it daily. I wouldn't blindly trust code it writes, but it offers alternative solutions and when I'm hunting for a but it's very good at giving me ideas of what might be wrong at a glance. Terraform and infra too it can catch nuances i may be missing.

Add in "we can't give them drugs that stop overdoses because they'll just want to overdose more"

Namecheap myself for 10ish years now. Never been unhappy

Executive positions attract sociopaths. It's actually a known ting, studies have confirmed it. The incredible stress, the ruthlessness to get ahead of competitors and push people out of your way to climb to the top. It's not a surprise honestly

The highest bar to getting into Linux isn't the technical, the setup, the hardware or anything. It's the people the ego. Those have always been the largest barrier.

Aw I didn't know about Roxan. That's honestly really sad

In a statement to Variety, Warner Bros. Discovery’s board said: “The Warner Bros. Discovery Board of Directors appreciates the views of all its shareholders and takes the results of the annual advisory vote on executive compensation seriously. The Compensation Committee of the Board looks forward to continuing its regular practice of engaging in constructive dialogue with our shareholders.” Nothing

Ftfy. They said nothing. That entire block was them saying nothing.

Oh no no everyone is human UNTIL he takes the pill, and realizes they're all Muppets

I don't think you'll find one person doing everything. Instead you have to look for the little things. Every time we choose local you're giving to a needy person instead of a billionaire. Every time we choose to reuse an item or donate we help someone and take a bit more back. Collectively we can all be Robin hood

Absolutely follow makers first

Fair point. Although London threw me for a loop because it appeared to be the same as a right and driving. Be aware of the local customs, and be aware if you are blocking people

Okay I'm going to go against the grain, and will probably get downvoted to hell, but this is not new. This is PC gaming. This has always been PC gaming. Hot take - you don't need 4k@60fps to be able to have fun playing games.

New games require top of the line hardware (or hardware that doesn't even exist yet) for high-ultra settings. Always have, always will. (Hell, we had an entire meme about 'can it run crysis', a game that literally could only play on low-medium on even the highest level machines for a few years) Game makers want to make their games not just work now, but want them to look great in 5 years too. Unless you have shelled out over a grand this year for the absolute latest GPU, you should not expect any new game to run on great settings.

In fact, I do keep my PC fairly bleeding edge and I can't drive more than High settings on most games - and that's okay. Eventually I'll play them on Ultra, when hardware catches up. It's fine.

And as for low to mid level hardware I was there too - and that's just PC gaming friend. I played Borderlands and Left4Dead the year they came out on a very old Radeon card at 640x480 in windowed mode, medium settings, at about 40fps.

Again, this is just what PC gaming is. If you want crisp ultra graphics, you're gonna have to shell out the ultra payments. Otherwise, fine tuning low to medium payments, becoming okay with sub 60fps, this is all fairly normal.

Personally, when I upgrade I find great joy in going back and "rediscovering" some of the older games and playing them on ultra for the first time.
