Good luck debugging AI-generated code...

What, the generic Windows driver wasn't good enough...?

In mathematical terms it's perfectly acceptable to talk about the limit of an expression as some value tends towards infinity. E.g.:

limit (1/x)  = 0
x→∞

The way politicians and the political system nakedly serves the needs and interests of corporations and the wealthy, and not the average individual.

The way that the price you're quoted invariably gets bumped up by various taxes.

The insane system that is tipping, including the fact that a lot of workers are so underpaid that they rely on tips to get by.

The incessant adverts on TV for medical products, particularly prescription drugs.

It doesn't. Gravity is caused by mass not spin. The planet's rotation about it's own axis will create a centrifugal effect that offsets gravity, but the effect is negligible for anything rotating as slow as planets.

Not sure those categories are mutually exclusive, in which case a pie chart is illogical, captain

The author is basing this claim on feedback from FIVE people who have been playing the game. If Bethseda are only expecting a similar number to play it once it's released, then this is a useful metric. Otherwise it's meaningless.

"Java 21 is chock-full of great features and if you're coming all the way from 17, there's a plethora of additions to use and get used to, but it's all for naught if you can't actually update. In this #RoadTo21 episode, we discuss all you need to know to update from Java 17 to 21: API changes that may require you to update your code (like the introduction of sequenced collections or bug fixes in Double/Float::toString and IdentityHashMap), ongoing deprecations (threading, security manager, finalization, and more) and changes in networking (like earlier URL validation and HTTP timeouts), encoding (UTF-8 by default and changes in date/time/unit formatting), the runtime (like removed options class loading), and tooling (like new warnings). We'll also go beyond the nitty-gritty details and see the bigger picture of how to best prepare and execute your Java and 3rd party updates by talking about inside.java, release notes, Quality Outreach, and much more."

Literally none of those are actually"objective"...

This one, every time. Imagine buying a product or service for an agreed price, and then being guilt-tripped into having to pay 20%, or more, on top because the owners don't pay their staff enough salary to survive on. It should be fucking illegal. Pay your staff a proper salary and charge your clients the price you published on your menu/price-list etc. Running a business isn't a god-given right, and if you can't do it without screwing your employees over, then you're not capable of running a business period. You should bugger off and let someone who is capable, and who isn't an empathy vacuum have a go.

If the dude had a big nose, then I wouldn't see the problem, but he didn't.

In Trump's dyspeptic liver of a brain "irrefutable" simply means bigly.
