You're working on the assumption that game traffic is a perfect representation of actual traffic. In reality, that's not the case though. In games, traffic on a straight road behaves perfectly. In real life, people cut others off,

This reminds me of projects I did specifically for the Dutch market, but were coded in English because we needed to facilitate non-Dutch developers. Each new feature started with finding translations for Dutch words to be used as variables

Yeah, this is the type of stuff that gets in the way. Also, I really like the fact that modern phones have great cameras. None of this is impossible to get around though, I could get a small camera and there are alternatives to Google Auth.

That's such weird reasoning. You spend over 1k (3k in my case) to get the latest version of a premium brand laptop, but can't afford the cables? Those cables cost $2-5 each on AliExpress. If that's too much, you definitely sh

Good question, using this abbreviation for everything that starts with 'crypto' is just dumb. On Wikipedia, the crypto page is enormous: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crypto
