Has that situation improved at all? I appreciate many shops still cowboy code their way across the finish line, but I would think that big publishers might put more effort into ensuring digital preservation for potential remakes/ports&

How much of an original script survives to filming? I assume that huge swaths of dialog gets reworked as more people can workshop the scene and get a sense of characters/timing/whatever.

Taking place on a planet of Wookies would make the Empire losing the ground battle make significantly more sense. Legend has it that it was changed to Ewoks for the kid toy opportunities.

All I can think of is the recruiters who cannot have the courtesy to tell the other 99% they are no longer under consideration.

Think of all the software which does not exist if we are still writing in assembly because we are constrained by the hardware. Python, RPGMaker, Roblox, PICO-8, etc are no longer possible because they are too wasteful. Having bounty enables

In fact, if I am reading this 2020 Census report correctly[0], 40% of the US population lives in the 806 cities with a population >= 50,000. [0] https://www.census.gov/data/tables/time-series/demo/pope

Isn't that exactly how things improve? When you can reduce the cognitive load on bookkeeping, you can accomplish more productive work. I can produce a featureful webapp in Python-Django solo because I do not have to worry about optimal

A picture is worth a thousand words. 200 feet tall and how thick are the bars? How many? Could I do it with a hacksaw or would I need a more intense torch? I want to visualize perpetrating the crime.

Sure, for high profile things. This is the daily news and a mild curiosity which is hardly worth the resources. Show a picture of a similar model tower, annotate it as such, and I have now have a sense of the difficulty in cutting it down.

As a reader, I want to have a sense of scale of the tower.

Why would it have to be stealthy? Even if they did it in broad daylight, announcing their presence with a loudspeaker, "We are taking this tower." Would I, a random bystander care? For all I know, they were contracted by the owner

So...a picture of some random sky? Maybe draw an outline of what the tower would look like if it were there?

I expect most retaliation goes unreported, so going to be difficult to get any numbers that are not full of assumptions. Even if you know someone fired you for X, going to be hard to prove it: time, money, conflicting accounts, potential re

I suppose that seems much more plausible, if significantly less cool, ahem, than making a low hanging CO2 bath.

Basically anything microscopic is increasingly found to be just horrible to inhale, but this blurb from Wikipedia says there are probably significantly worse things to handle for a one-time treatment. ...In a 1978 study of workers, tho

Dry ice is an interesting idea. I want it to work, because it is just so deliciously different. However, I assume the harsh reality says that it is nearly impossible to suffocate the entire infestation, and more than a few survivors or eg

You are cheating yourself if you only read the book. His lecture series covering the material on Youtube is phenomenal. I went through the book + season 1 videos, and had a glance at some of the season two videos. The season two has some vi

I will second that perspective. Would steer clear as an introductory text.

Definitely use to fall for primitive obsession. It seemed so silly to wrap objects in an intermediary type. After playing with Rust, I changed my tune. The type system just forces you into the correct path, that a lot of code became boring

I refuse to BYOD, so I am not familiar with the nuances, but wouldn't the corporate controlling entity wipe/reset/deauthenticate the corporate partition of the device?

In most cases wouldn't that session info be tied to physical hardware to which the employee no longer has access? Sure, tick all of your boxes, but I would think that losing the company laptop/phone/VPN would be a pretty sign

A house is an asset which can be liquidated for ~the price of the note (black swan dependent). Moonshot R&D has a long history of leaving unlucky investors bankrupt.

NVidia can't keep up with demand because ASML and TSMC have huge backlogs. Unless you can just buy up a competitor's slot in the queue, you are left with re-building an infrastructure pipeline that has been developed over decades.

Especially for a AAA release, licensing music seems like little to be gained. Music games (eg Rockband), I can understand. People want to play music they know. There are very few musical tie-ins in a video game that seemingly make the diffe

Because then they would lose their pithy advertising slogan. Minor or not, it is a non-compatible change.

Select Star SQL? https://selectstarsql.com/ It opens up with analyzing death row inmates, so significantly more real than classifying flowers.

How much inventory did this person maintain? I assume such a business only works if you keep a warehouse of material until you can find a buyer.
