And it won't go into production next year. But workers will still be treated like shit.

In Germany and Austria, there was a tax on salt for cooking until recently (1993 and 1995, respectively). To avoid that people buy the cheap road salt and use it for cooking, such a bitter component was actually added, usually magnesium chloride (sometimes also capsaicin).
Many German sources still say you shouldn't eat road salt for that reason, so maybe this is still done (though it is of course possible, that those sources are just outdated).

If you check it out, don't forget to have a look atthe somewhat hidden 3D mode. Though well made, the 2D mode is just a Google-Maps-like view, and the 3D mode is entirely different.

Mostly because they have to wait for Half-Life 3 in order not to confuse the customers.

Not having 60 fps might be an issue for a shooter or anything that is built on fast reactions, but it doesn't really sound like an issue in a city builder.

Does ChatGPT's code get better if you include "You're an expert in that language" in the prompt?

Half a year ago, I bought the 9 years younger (and much more complex) Red Dead Redemption 2 on Steam sale for $20.

What will people do? Sue him to provide the promised legal funds they need to sue their employers?

Blink has a younger code base that’s easier to build on. Gecko has been around since the early 90s and has some ancient evils lurking deep within.

They both are of very similar age actually. The old Netscape rendering engine originated in the early 90s, but Gecko was a rewrite from scratch that was first used in a browser in 1998.
Blink is based on KHTML which is based on khtmlw, which was written at some point in the mid-90s, but as well saw a complete rewrite in 1999.

I've been programming with lots of dumb people, and I'm particularly dumb myself, but if you really literally spend hours looking for missed semicolons, then you should give up programming no matter if this means more time for date nights or more time to look at the wall.

It is an early stage software and such things can be worked out, you're right. But on the other hand, such basic elements should be based on a thorough concept before a single line is coded, and implementing something like a delete button with "Let's just make it delete the most visible stuff for now, we can always improve that later when there is time" is recipe for disaster.
