sometimes "precise" in the mind of the instructor is "unintelligibly technical" to the student. I'm tutoring an (ESL) friend through an intro to programming course right now, and every time she gets an assignment sh

meh. selling cosmetic-only items is a pretty good way to fund a low/zero purchase price game imo. no one is priced out of the core experience, and the people that really care pay for everyone else to play.

the supply is unlimited, but the number of skins "in the wild" is limited by price. apparently the most expensive Fortnite skins cost hundreds of dollars. not everyone (or more realistically, their parents) can afford to drop that

reminds me of a feature I loved on my droid x. it had a dedicated physical button that would wake the phone and simultaneously open the camera app. inside the app, it would function as the shutter, so you didn't mess up the shot trying

I choose to look at it from a glass half-full perspective. any usbc cable is at least as good as a standard usb2 cable. anything past that is a bonus. it's mildly annoying that some cables support high wattage PD and some don't, b

the iron dome is mainly used to shoot down shitty rockets traveling around 200 m/s, and at great relative cost. ICBMs are going about ~7 km/s at reentry. it would require an entirely different level of capability to achieve any re

I don't think the "will-to-power" is absent at all. rather, the private sector is a better path to power for someone with technical chops, influencing through money instead of formal political authority. of course by the time

the example kinda shows that a basic Marxist analysis doesn't reveal much useful insight about the modern world. the faang engineer's stock is probably worth more than the bakery to begin with, but it doesn't actually give th

not a good way to give the example then. most c or c++ developers are going to start twitching uncontrollably the second they see a variable declared uninitialized and then immediately read from.

okay, you can also come up with plenty of examples of ambiguous parses that don't require violating any grammar rules. fortunately humans are a bit more intelligent than compilers and can use their knowledge of context to settle on the

ironic, but it actually supports my point so I'll leave it that way :)

does it actually matter that people don't all the grammar rules or how to spell things? an english sentence contains a lot of parity data. when you do know all the rules, it can be painful to see the mistakes people make, but confusing

right but most people don't actually want this unless base pay already covers all their cash flow needs. quality of life is much better with a consistent $80k salary than making $100k on average but with huge variance.
