And don't forget about the Texas governor trying to place himself between children, parents, and doctors because his base doesn't like the choices they make. This is the same crowd that screamed about the ACA allegedly creating de

Did you ever play a Sonic game? Miles "Tails" Prower's name is a play on Miles Per Hour. Even a lot of native English speakers in mile-using countries miss it. I try to take a Today's Lucky 10,000 approach to these situa

The people of Ukraine will without question suffer more from Putin's war than the Russian people will from sanctions. What's the alternative without risking an escalation to nuclear war? Cutting off the wealth and resources that f

This is true of every aspect of game development DirectX implements an API for, but it's still popular. I don't know enough to know why, but there's probably a good reason for that.

Games already use virtual file systems for storing assets to reduce load times. Otherwise they have to load a bunch of tiny files with filesystem and OS overhead for each. I'm sure some would appreciate not having to invent their own.

Fresh meat is just a term for someone new. This reminds me of when I used the word "zealot" on a forum back in the same era and someone was adamant that it came from Starcraft and wondered why I was making a Starcraft reference

A common one is noticing that targeting works so well they see ads for things they've talked about and assume their phone is listening in on them. Though I wouldn't say they're okay with it.

We don't import that much from Russia. It's little enough that finding other sources shouldn't take long. Oil and gas are highly fungible.

Historic gas prices back to 1992 for the curious: https://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/hist/LeafHandler.ashx?n=pet&s=e... I doubt it's adjusted for inflation.

No manufacturer will actually guarantee their weather sealing. It surprised me when I went and researched it. YouTuber James Popsys[0] takes his cameras out in the cold and wet all the time, so whatever he uses is probably a good starting p

I think of low temperature as the fridge. Cool place would be in the shade or in a cabinet.

I think it's hard to divine trends from such small numbers. 14 Tsars, 45 presidents. It's not even enough to determine if the odds of one outcome or the other is better than a coin toss. This is before getting into confounding var

I think what's changed is that the ability of a few outlets to control the narrative is diminished. The interstate always cut through poor communities. The bridges were always designed to keep buses from carrying people out of the citi

That's one approach. Another is to pay attention to what they're saying and try a different approach to persuasion. It turns out it's not actually that hard to convince a lot of them if you just treat them like human beings.

I understood it as intended, but I can see how people would read it that way. It has roughly the structure of a "it's just x with y baggage" comment at the outset and could trip that wire in the mind of someone who doesn&#x27

There's probably actual research on this, but I can't come up with the right search terms. It could be one of those situations where it's impossible to say for sure. You can't exactly design an experiment around it: the

Don't forget passing around Excel documents. I'm not a lawyer, but I've read accounts of this from enough to think it's a whole thing and not an isolated phenomenon.

I'm sure people at all levels except executive got the short end during the collapse of Blockbuster. A union would have represented employee interests every time the C-suite issued an execution order down the chain. They could very wel

I think that's the point. Something will come along to replace it, and that thing does not historically pay better. "Your margin is my opportunity," as Lord Bezos said. It's already kind of happening. I could get $25 per

All it takes is a structural shift. Blockbuster had a 29-year run, most of which was after it wiped out the independent stores that predated it.

The account seems credible enough, but there's something weird about citing a military intel account named and themed on a meme.

Bandcamp is almost as old as Web 2.0. That's why people are so confused about this. Why does a profitable 15-year-old company need to sell? They didn't say in the post, so all we can do is be frustrated.

It's definitely possible. Bandcamp will even warn you before deleting something.

I can't tell whether there's some point directed at the comment you replied to or if this is some stream of consciousness thing.

If Bandcamp saw people who bought music on Bandcamp as consumers, then Bandcamp didn't understand the people who used it, and this might be for the best.

Too bad. It was one of the few good independent websites left. As always, the CEO said they'll remain independent and blah blah blah in the email, but we know how that goes. Good tip for people on the music side, and something to sugge
