E. G. For storage and performs reasons. 5 bytes vs 9 bytes. Multiplying by amount of users and various indexes - can produce very noticeably difference. More records per page.

So do you create new objects every time you need to change state?

Millions of people on the bus. Some vote to drive to place A. Some want to drive to place B. Neither is the cliff. But both A voters and B voters are using the bus-cliff false analogy to manipulate people to vote for their option.

In reality the chance that your vote would even affect the result is nearly zero.

Honestly, no. I guess the biggest difference is as a father of 3, I have like 5 hours to play in a week. And I want to enjoy some of the power.

Diablo 4 shows what happenels when you nerf builds midcycle - you are in a constant cycle of "I finally reached the power level of the top build, people are playing for week, finally I can enjoy it, oh they nerfed it the very same day, but here is another build I have to spend my week farming to, repeat for weeks, stop playing"

Enjoyment of power level > some potential variance of builds I never would care or have time to play.

You really need to calm down and reflect.

I have a PhD and a dozen of published and recognized papers.

You are misusing the term "fact". Just because you think something is fact, does not make it so.

Wow, target audience for settlement building actually exist! It was always a point of frustration to me, I build necessary minimum for some quests and that's it, partially being sad that they could've put those resources to make main loop of Fallout part of the game better

Brighton had a very good bus system. At least 10 years ago it covered all my needs. Plus bicycle lanes and trains to get to the nearest towns and I had 0 need or wish for a car.

I moved to US and miss those times

Is there objective way to define what is fair? Otherwise words "fair pay" make 0 sense

Python. Not even a competition. My love of programming quadrupled the day I switched to python and it's getting stronger and stronger. I have now 10 years of professional python experience and around the same of C++ with occasional C#. A few projects in Go and Java. They all have ups and downs, but... Not even comparable how much everything is more elegant and simple in python

The worst part is that vodka freezes right in the plastic cups. It's not fun to drink vodka with icy mush.

Comparing to this, getting into Russia is even simpler, so you can do all of those things, that are simple to you to type yourself. Go for it, we root for you!

Not sure where you are in the US, but that is definitely not my experience. Cars usually stop the moment I stop on the side of the road. At least In California
