It’s somewhere in the middle, as there is online multiplayer, but not at the scale that it could be compared to a “truly” online game.

The wikipedia page for the 90/90 rule quite literally says “not to be confused with the 90/10 rule”.

That’s the Pareto Principle. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareto_principle

This immediately came to mind as well. IMHO they are root causes, but not the only one. It takes human decisions to start and continue wars, and those decisions have things that influenced them.

I find a source useful for claims like these, so here you go: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJM199308053290619

It goes back a lot further than that. “One man who did it all himself” is at least as old as Hercules, Atlas, Noah, etc.

Some things are always more important than money, at all levels of wealth. That’s not the point though. While you will find exceptions, the majority of people will accept more money when offered it for the same or similar role. This is espe

If you check the article, it’s mostly other developers urging folks to not hold indie and smaller developers to a standard set by 400 developers spending six years working on a title in a genre they have previous success in.

This is a very solid attitude. Couldn’t say how many CRPG titles I have dropped due to endless quests and dialog that are immediately forgotten in the larger story arc. It’s one thing to build a world with side quests, another to have the s

Relatively speaking, more compensation is more sufficient than less.

There’s a real potential market in AI driven support bots, but time will tell if they catch on or are just fads. “Things people have to do but don’t want to do” is an area to keep an eye on.

Yes. They were a public company at the time.

Even just looking at the Cold War period, this still doesn’t quite cover the complexities. There was an entire anti-war movement full of folks who thought the US should pull out of Vietnam without necessarily supporting the other side of th

Agreed, and that's why I mentioned there are certainly some folks still concerned.

It sounds like you might be conflating two different issues here (being why people were taking covid tests without any symptoms, and why people were doing the superset of actions that would mitigate spreading the virus). There certainly was

Agreed. Even if it’s technically $0 a night, the bait and switch feeling will alienate a lot of folks. Just be honest up front.

Yes, but that wasn’t the question when it comes to “updating a game creates a new work”.

What parts of the game would count, though? If Disney creates a Mickey Mouse game and puts out a patch every year with "bug fixes", what is renewed?

Agree to disagree then, per wikipedia and several other sources that pop up when googling.

> and they’ll not have to consider dedicated VR time The reported battery life on the Vision Pro is still going to require that you have dedicated "goggles on" time for the foreseeable future.

Naturally. That’s a different process from a code review though, which is what this thread is discussing.
744.
by mathgeek 3y ago
Code review generally requires a peer to do the reviewing, so most folks would likely say that doesn’t count. I was curious if it would, but the first couple pages of googled results confirm the peer aspect.

Very true! I was more into the early-to-mid 90s fighters (MK, SF2) but the Saturn had a solid lineup there as well.

As a lifelong fan of turn-based JRPG titles, this rings true. The Saturn (and the SegaCD before it) had some great titles there, but the PS1 had a while lot more to choose from, while the N64 was very light. By the time the PS2 and DC rolle

That’s why I mentioned it as a thought experiment. We have been burning energy for centuries to keep folks alive in both extremes of climate.

by mathgeek 3y ago
As a thought experiment, the same logic can be applied to any region where lack of shelter or heating would make human life unsustainable.

I tend to think that as long as these models remain tools (rather than AI that is self aware, etc.), we will have careers available in both “mechanics and engineers” so to speak. Some will design, others will build, still others will integr
