So don't do it in parallel. Completely park other tasks, spend time on the review and record that time appropriately. There's nothing wrong with saying you spent the previous day doing a large review. It's a part of the job,

IMO, it made the one of the biggest mistakes that games can make: It just wasn't fun. Browsing the reviews now, it's full of people saying how hard they tried to like the game. Good games make themselves effortless to enjoy. Even

Satsifactory in this context is good, not bad. We live in a euphemistic world where "satisfactory" is presented to failures to not hurt their feelings, but the word also and originally means it's good enough, i.e. delivers an

What do you mean exactly by "point in time event"? As I understand it, a metric is information at a point in time. A span however has a start timestamp and end timestamp, and is about a single operation that happens across that ti

There's a reason I put "compromised" in quotes. By that I mean that not all 8 digit numbers are yet flagged in haveibeenpwned. Of course there's no world in which they're actually a secure password, which is why it&

In case anyone else was wondering, not all 8 digit pins are "compromised", although many are, and of course an 8 digit pin has limited security in any automatable scenario. To get an example that was already in the haveibeenpwned

> Chrome told me my PureGym PIN had been compromised This is likely a false positive, if chrome is using haveibeenpwned API. e.g. A pin of 87623103 Hashes to 558B4C37F6E3FF9A5E1115C66CEF0703E3F2ADEE We get the range from HaveIBeenPwned:

That's a good question, I've never tried to benchmark AoT compiled code. I don't know how to do it with BenchmarkDotNET. I believe the way BDM works is that it compiles sub-assemblies to execute the benchmarks, so it would ha
