“It’s complicated” is no excuse to be arming an already powerful nation with our tax dollars to make the situation more “complicated.”
If it’s so damn complicated, maybe we shouldn’t be sending arms and tax dollars directly over to Israel, but rather send humanitarian aid to both sides instead.
Taking a side in a complicated conflict of which many people don’t fully understand is an unwise decision, and using tax dollars to arm one or even both sides of a conflict we don’t fully understand is unethical.
I mean Valve once said that QA is the most vital part of game development.
Their classic anecdote is about Portal's Development. They brought in some players to play the game near its completion and the user response was "Nice Demo, can't wait to play the full game." And they decided they had shown the player how to implement basic gameplay mechanics well, but that they hadn't given the player a satisfying enough situation to use all of the mechanics at once. This is why Portal ends with the most amazing bossfight Valve has ever made imo.
Ah, so that obnoxious complaint about how "Linux users report too many bugs" and thats why devs won't port their game to linux, is actually a strength because Linux users:
While the average hourly wage for men was $35.50 last year, Indigenous women earned an average of $26.74 an hour. Indigenous men earned an average wage of $31.03 an hour. Immigrant women earned an average of $28.78 an hour compared with immigrant men, who earned an average of $36.42 an hour.
In "Freedom" money:
35.50 CAD = 25.63 USD
26.74 CAD = 19.30 USD
31.03 CAD = 22.40 USD
28.78 CAD = 20.77 USD
36.42 CAD = 26.29 USD
Meanwhile here in the "land of the free" where those conversions are relevant, my hourly isn't even close to that 19.30 USD.
Optimization isn't inherently better than Readable code.
What's most important is what matters to your project.
If your project manages itself with limited resources, Optimization is better than Readable code, and it should be supplemented with comments.
If your project has a wealth of resources, readable code is probably the better option.
The "This is the ONLY WAY" mindset in coding is the only thing that I would argue is completely wrong. The "One-size fits all" mindset in development is short sighted, sure. but what makes it the worst, is when it becomes "One-Size fits all ONLY".
"One-size fits all" means the project runs well on everything.
"Optimized for one" means the project runs exceptionally on one Architecture/OS.
Basically, this situation is the highly unsatisfying "It's your preference".
But given the context of Yandere Dev and the Target Audience of Yandere Simulator, his code is perfect. It's code that runs terribly on everything and the project is for no one.
