We didn't wait 20 years for this.

Yes we did. MI1 and 2 was great because they were pushing the technological limitations, trying to be the best puzzle games they could, and were made by a great, talented, and enthusiastic team. Not because it was catering to entitled fans with rose tinted glasses.

You're probably better off just throwing a pebble or two at random spots in your shoe. Random height/angles are most likely going to fuck with your joints and just make it too hard to move efficiently, while a pebble or two will be annoying but tolerable and should be enough to change your gait up.

in the event a key was extracted it creates a race condition at the period of claim not during the lifetime of its use - still providing some utility.

So say the key was extracted, you would not be aware until the "maturity" or whatever time you can claim the real value?

How would one then know and trust that the note I'm holding on to won't be claimed by someone else at the period of claim? As far as I see it my best option would be to try and offload any Kong in my possession as soon as possible for real goods or other currency.

Depends on what laws you're considering. So not knowing exactly which country the server was located in or the country the police that enacted the DDoS are from it is hard to say if it's legal or not.

It's a sad situation with HK and we should not accept it.

But I can't help but feel that a sports competition may not be the right place for political activism. Especially seeing as the rules states it won't be accepted.

If Blizzard did not suspend him they would jeopardize all of their rules, and I hope they would have done the same if he was shouting something pro-China.

Almost.

A house can be liquidated and potential profit realized rather quickly. Education, not so much. You can insure yourself (and should, if you could lose your work by getting in an accident), so that you get a set amount paid out each month in case you end up in a wheelchair or similar state that would keep you from working.

I don't understand how Youtube's management have succeeded in staying outside prison so far,

They manage this by letting the big media/music corps claim ad revenue from any video they feel like they own, no questions asked. That's how they manage to stay out of jail. I suspect Youtube is a pretty decent revenue source for these corporations.

Looks pretty good, at first glance I miss the functionality to pause/un-pause by clicking on the video. I believe this is a pretty common functionality that you should consider implementing.

Most likely a mistranslation. I've never heard anything that could be translated that way.

I would assume the correct translation would be something like: "The war ship first carries out a last minute port side maneuver" or "The war ship first carries out a last minute evasive action"

Retiring? 8 years ago

I believe your chances of staying "with it" increases if you have something meaningful to do and to exercise both your body and mind.

My late grandpa was still quite bright when he was in his 90's. He kept doing work around the house and going for hikes till his last days.

If I ever get to retire before I die, I'll find something to do for "work", but I'll probably not work for someone else.

I don't have any statistics but I'd guess a lot of the money goes to the publishers and IP/Licence holders.

Most game studios produce games on behalf of established publishers like EA with licenses from companies like Disney and I would assume they know to take a pretty piece of the cake.

I also have a feeling that the culture in the games industry have been rotting for a while and talent being "abused" has become the norm.

You can be a "rockstar" coder or coding "Wizard" all you want, but you'll probably never reach the paycheck of a good actor.

"Given the pleasure presumably associated with moderate drinking, claiming there is no 'safe' level does not seem an argument for abstention," he said.

"There is no safe level of driving, but the government does not recommend that people avoid driving."

"Come to think of it, there is no safe level of living, but nobody would recommend abstention."

Sounds like a smart man. Just because it isn't safe doesn't mean you shouldn't do it. Just do it with caution.

How should I hunt a job for the position of a software developer Check online job sites for companies that are looking for developers and apply. Just apply to every position and ad that sounds interesting. As long as you don't lie about your experience level you shouldn't have too much problems. Make sure your cv and cover letter look nice and are relevant for the position you're applying for.

How difficult will it be for me to get a job as someone who doesn't have any professional experience.

Depending on where in the world you are it may be super easy or it may be very hard. It's all about local supply and demand.

Lastly, most of us didn't have much of an idea about how professionals work before we became professionals.
