Our code reviews are far more "is this the right way to solve the problem?" than "hey, you never use that variable you declared." The latter would be picked up by our linter; I'm having a hard time seeing the value

Incredibly insightful, thank you. We all know how hard it is to find a programming gig these days. I'm not convinced you have any knowledge of how things actually work in Google, but my point is that you can give me a ring if something

Sure, we'll see, but in the meantime I likely won't take the risk.

Oh, look; a brand spanking new HN account backing China on this one! Yes, why would it be bad news for an authoritarian government to strengthen its hold on its people. Those spam calls are so annoying! BTW, those spammers aren't sitti

Sure, so long as you never have to open a document created by an external entity.

I hope HN never lightens up. It does seem harsh at times, but when you start letting short/irreverent/low value content through and you end up with reddit.

Right, so not a DF, which is what we're talking about here.

Was that a DF though?

Well, technically I don't, for the reason I don't know if the abominable snowman exists. I have yet to see one I knew to be a df which was even close to being convincing.

Using a marketing conspiracy theory with about 10,000 holes in it to explain an ugly design is not what I would consider a "good point".

Fair enough. That's why I threw the "on this" bit in.

You forgot that stadia also lacks nearly all of the nice-to-gave features already provided on consoles. You don't even get a notification when you unlock a trophy.

They don't have the game dev experience or the library. Seems obvious. They can stream the games for the same reason Netflix can't buy a single DVD and stream that movie to everyone on the planet.

Cool. Can I short stadia specifically? I'm pretty sure you understood what I was saying.

Ok, well let me know. Google fails far more often than they succeed, and they're out of their depth with this one.

The context here is obviously PC/console gamers. No one is clamouring for Candy Crush to be brought to Stadia. There may be overlap, but the mediums are completely different.
