I want an actual real time strategy game. All popular RTSs are actually just about tactics and micro. I mean every SC2 guide will tell you that up to a very high level of play, if you're just doing more you'll be more efficient and win regardless of strategy. Why can't you just set a standing order of "make unit x" or "make unit x while we have gas until we get to 50 of them"? That's strategy. Having to tab back to a building and manually queue a couple of units every several seconds is just creating busywork for players, but thats what's necessary and optimal for playing SC2 and most RTS games well

The problem is, in Linux once you know how things work, most things are pretty easy. In Windows, even when you know how things work, if you want to change your system at all you're fighting the OS the whole way.

For example, in Linux it's trivial to set up my notifications to be in the bottom middle, except when I'm coding to have them in the top right, with various hotkeys to manage them. Or to have custom window layouts. Or to do anything, every part of the stack is easy to change. On Windows you just get a blob and it assumes everybody wants it to work the same way.

Humans can be cheaper than robots if properly exploited!

That's not merch, that's the Veil of Veronica. Very significant catholic story/artifact. The story is that when she wiped the blood and sweat off of Jesus his face appeared on the cloth. You'll find depictions of this in most old catholic churches and many paintings

  1. Anybody can also verify it if they just host the hash on their own website, or host the video itself.
  2. Getting the general populace to understand block chain implementations or how to interface with it is an unrealistic task
  3. What does a distributed zero trust model add to something that is inherently centralized requiring trust in only 1 party

Blockchain is the opposite of what you want for this problem, I'm not sure why people bring this up now. People need to take an introductory cryptography course before saying to use blockchain everywhere.

First blame the thief. But then in the same breath blame the manufacturers that refuse to sell cars with meaningfully working locks. If you understand the tech many car companies keep selling cars that have locks that are about as secure as a zip tie.

As an American I don't know what you're talking about, aside from the UK most of Europe has amazing food, and the wine there is so much better and cheaper

This is why piracy is a net positive for society.

I think both sides are lacking nuance here. If you shit on people getting electric vehicles or just thinking of getting one because that's not far enough: fuck you. But also, for people that just switched or are thinking of getting one but then see something like this and slam into reverse and say "I'm gonna support ICE cars till the day I die to spite those overly hostile woke liberals": fuck you too.

People should be able to take the information in a more nuanced way, and should stop swinging from extreme to extreme which has led to the current fucked state of politics

This is the most junior developer comment I've seen in a while.

Nobody that's competent thinks that's shit is hard. That's not the point.

The point is, it makes it easy to make mistakes. Somebody might see all of one type of strings, assume that's the format, and forget to enclose the thing in quotes, causing mysterious bugs years later when a differently created date filters into the system. You might have a regex error, you might split incorrectly, you might make a query that works the wrong way and gives an incorrect aggregate, and none of that is due to lack of skill. It's due to not knowing it's the rfc standard, not the iso. It could be due to not even realizing the rfc allows for that or is different.

Software engineering in practice is not about making sure there is at least some way for people to use your library/standard/pattern. It's about making sure the way to do it that's most intuitive/obvious is also foolproof, easy, and efficient. Adding the space makes debugging harder and adds footguns which is exactly what good software engineers want to stay away from. Otherwise we'd all be writing in assembly. But since you aren't, maybe you are the one with a skill issue. Either that or you really misunderstand this field.

I see you've never been to a bar with a CS major

(probably also because you can't get them to go to bars)

It was totally possible to see coming. The .ml domain deal and its expiration was known far in advance and I've been seeing posts about it for months.

This is 100% incompetence on whoever set up the site.
