You see far more horrific cases in the current US system where minors are cared for by members of the general public at their homes. This self selects for both ends of the spectrum people who want to do good and very bad actors. That’s the

It’s a non issue when there’s effectively zero penalties for death. On hardcore it’s more meaningful especially on hardcore challenge runs. But that’s the thing if you’re only there for mindless slaughter then it’s anti fun, but also very

Not all gameplay mechanics need to last for an entire game. Stamina as an obstacle that you overcome plays into the power fantasy aspect of the game very well. Arguably it goes a long way to offset the feeling you’re slowly falling behind

Greek philosophers came up with vastly more wildly incorrect theories than correct ones. When you only celebrate success simply coming up with more ideas makes things look better, but when you look at the full body of work you find logic ba

Assuming you can render natively at high FPS, 4k makes a bigger difference on rendered images than live action because it essentially brute forces antialiasing.

I don’t think nuclear waste is a huge deal, but it does increase fuel costs in a very meaningful way. The classic uranium is cheap therefore nuclear’s fuel is cheap is a tiny fraction of the story. Refueling generally means weeks of downti

In terms of pure operating costs ignoring everything else it can look good vs other sources that include all costs. However, ‘Paid off nuclear’ in terms of construction costs still needs to worry about decommissioning, and their maintenance

Subsides, the cost to produce electricity and the cost charged for that energy end up very different.

Nuclear is inherently expensive even with zero regulations you have the full costs of a coal power plant + more expensive lifetime costs for fuel + extra costs associated with nuclear such as more and more highly educated workers. Meanwhil

There’s little reason to avoid prescribing medication alongside other approaches. It’s not that meds are the only option or they should be reserved for the most severe cases, it’s people’s reactions are different and there’s no way to tell

No, I’m only saying a useless error code and a useless log are both possible. Either could be useful or they could both be useless because the creator was actively malicious etc. Thus, the possibility of a useless error code doesn’t inher

That’s ok, I’ll just check the log. 50MB of ‘This is my happy place.’ followed by a one liner “cannot to parse unexpected character 0x001?’ Any library can do a bad job here, that doesn’t come down to logging vs error messages.

If it’s not your code how is a log useful vs returning an error? Even relatively complex operations like say convert this document into a PDF etc basically only has two useful states either it worked or something specific failed at which po

So you didn’t look into their overall competence just the superficial aspects that occur to everyone. I agree that’s normal, but it’s also the underlying problem I was pointing to. So you don’t need to continue, you just proved my point.

40k for heat pumps is wildly overkill here if that’s what you where quoted someone is trying to scam you. More critically, those prices aren’t set in stone over the next 30 years. Home PV for example is way less than 0,3€/kWh and rathe

That’s literally the opposite of what happened historically. Read up on the history of textiles for example and cottage industry created and then was supplanted by a capital class. Economies of scale require all sorts of things to get goin
