I played casually for a while, but I'm convinced it's just too broken a game to endure much longer. Besides, my favorite idea from it is secret coded bidding, but the game doesn't really support actual secret codes without

Then pop-tarts would just add some misleadingly similar but not technically wrong crap to theirs, like "100% pure natural syrup" on bottles that are definitely intended to trick you into thinking they're maple syrup, but

OTOH, I'd prefer pop-tarts if they were just frosting and crust with no filling at all. The one end where the frosting runs almost to the edge (I assume as an artifact of how it's applied) so you get just crust and frosting, is th

Hasura is great. GraphQL on its own, unless you're offloading all of it to something well-maintained and capable like Hasura which will (hopefully) automagically save you from the time cost and risk of GraphQL, is almost always a b

I sat in what should have been around the audio sweet-spot, if there was one, in the pretty good theater I went to, was paying very close attention, and still missed a few lines due to the mix. Most of those lines I missed again trying to

I know of at least one theater complex nearby that has an Imax screen or two, but those are not the best sound in the house. They're very good, but the gold standard (at least around here) are the couple of normal (but quite good) sc

Our particular market we've created not valuing something very highly, and society not valuing something very highly, may have a lot of overlap, but it's not perfect.

What... did that run per kid, roughly, if you don't mind my asking? Was this remote? Where did you find tutors? How much parental oversight is needed? How much time in management of tutors is required—are they consistently reliable, ho

There are lots of little bits of subtle characterization and character-arc work in it to pick up on, though some of them require some connecting-the-dots and lateral thinking. Which, in a way, lets you, the viewer, play the role of a Dune

Strongly concur on it being a theater watch, ideally Imax. The effects are next-level good. You won't see all the detail at home unless you've got one hell of a set-up. There are good sets and costumes, and the CG isn't mud

Right, I wasn't trying to one-up you, and a "full" Linux distro of any kind will take longer than that, just pointing out that the bottleneck is not the hardware. The thing can boot really fast.
