So their old games. What of OW(2), D3/D4, whatever mobile abomination they made for Diablo, Hearthstone or HoTS will be played for that long? Any? I would wager D2 is played more than D3 by a mile. OW1 was already killed. OW2 is dying.

For games where decisions really matter (ie you get multiple endings based on good/bad choices), I usually do two play throughs (if the game is good). One morally good and one morally extremely evil. I try to RP them, as in, I avoid th

Blizzard as a company sucks though. As in, even if you’re a brutal capitalist and don’t care at all about people stealing and drinking their coworkers breast milk, they just keep failing spectacularly at actually shipping games and getting

I've used it to come up with Beautiful Soup query selectors a couple times with pasted in HTML, but it's pretty bad at generalized solutions (ie, it usually just uses a cell ID).

Why have there been so many posts about this lately? I feel like there have been 3-5 posts from different sources about Khan academy moving from a Python 2 monolith to go micro services. It seems like an inordinate amount of coverage for so

IANAL, but it seems to be pretty well documented and agreed upon internationally that one must produce documents to enter a country. To arrive at a border crossing or port of entry and assert the border agent does not have probable cause to

I would love to be educated. I've seen claims about the merit and value of functional programming throughout my (nowadays relatively long) programming career. In practice I've never once seen those values or merits come to fruitio

I’m hoping the concept of the “metaverse” can come and go before I ever care to learn what it actually means. Seems like just more made up nonsense NFT people are trying to shill.

Several friends in FAANG are vetting different companies for who will be their quit-to-get-rehired company instead of doing the promotion dance. Their managers are incompetent so the opportunity to advance internally is slim. I’d say this a

OSS is funny to me in some capacities. A marketed positive of OSS is "You can fork it and make your own changes!", and yet, when someone actually does this with a prolific project (Rust and Node.js are the big two that come to min

This seems kind of absurd. Jira, React, TailwindCSS and "Advanced SEO Friendly coding" for 7200 a month? Seems like, at that point, a normal software contract and/or employee would be a better route. Plus, no tests or QA unti
