physical vs digital is a spectrum:

- a physical disc, playable as-is

- physical, with major flaws without online updates

- physical, was playable on release, now requires updates

- physical, unplayable without updates

- physical, contains only a launcher to download full game

- physical box without disc, contains download code only

- digital

EFF is leaving X 3 months ago

So uh, could impressions decrease across the board, not only on X. Like, social platforms have peaked years ago and the downward trend is completely organic.

The trajectory is simple: everyone is hooked on paid AI subscription and loses the skill of thinking and learning. The models are proprietary and cloud-only. Everything you input is also monetized. The end.

"It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it". So, this guy is "building an AI startup and investing in the space", right. Thousands of jobs in AI depend on you to start paying for the models because "free version is over a year behind".

What AI is good at is generating billions of similar "something big, act now" stories just to get you to pay. It is an advert.

These are multipliers. First, the QA left, but nothing major happened for years, automated tests did suffice. Then, vibe code happened, that with the lack of QA, led to disaster.

I doubt "studies" exist and proving every little assumption takes too much effort as per Brandolini's law.

What if.. the management made a request to make the game take more space than the previous release? So everyone could see just how much content there is and how much better everything is.

I mean, the developers cannot be that incompetent while being able to ship a high quality product.

Instead of "-X POST" and "-H 'Content-Type: application/json'", use "-d" or "--json", asshat.

Hx is batteries included. Nvim requires installing lots of plugins that do not inspire confidence - descriptions ridden with emojis, impossible to know who maintains what. Too many vectors leading to possible compromise.

but goroutine B (the goroutineB function) apparently never ran at all.

Untrue. Up the iterations to 1000, you'll get your interleaving. Since 1.14, goroutines are async preemptible (async safe points), and will not block the scheduler. Also, time.Sleep bad, use runtime.Gosched().

Piece type and color fit in 4 bits.

So, either a fixed-length encoding of the whole board, 64 * (4 bits) = 256 bits = 32 bytes.

Or, sparse variable length encoding of pieces only, 6 bits to index each of 64 squares, = 10 bits * piece count. E.g. initial position takes 32*10 = 320 bits or 40 bytes.

GNOME 48 includes a new option which enhances the lifespan of the device’s battery.

Wait, why Gnome, a graphical environment, responsible for battery maintenance?

Is microplastics the sole contaminant in otherwise completely clean and pure fluid? Or, like with all bodily fluids, it also contains traces of many irrelevant substances that somehow made their way there? Is the attention to microplastics disproportional? Who paid for the research?
