Cars don't always have the same name in different locales, just like if you're building an app or website you wind up changing strings to better fit a locale, even if it uses the same language.

Interesting work. I wish the video paused on at least some of the beaches though so you can actually look at them before they transform into the next one.

They are definitely still rigged. It's just that IMO the prizes and challenge still make it decently entertaining for me. But don't get me wrong, many 100y coins are lost in the pursuit of trying to win.

At least in Japan for their UFO Catcher and similar games, it's still pretty fun because you tend to be able to get childhood memory goods (pokemon/digimon/etc. stuffed animals). Plus while there can be a rigged factor to the

Personally I don't see how this comment is at all relevant. I assume OP posted the project here to show it off as a technical project, it just happens to be about a religious topic. We should be discussing that part of it, IMO.

Apparently it really was done by an "intern". >We mistakenly sent out an empty test email to a portion of our HBO Max mailing list this evening. We apologize for the inconvenience, and as the jokes pile in, yes, it was the inte

While I agree, the point was to take away his platform. I don't believe that part of it was successful.

Even with Twitter banning him, people tweet/post about Trump all the time, especially his "frustration" with his blog. It's almost like he never left. You'd think with people wanting to silence him they wouldn'

Unfortunately, most people do not know how to self-filter. Twitter has always had a List function that makes it a lot easier to only follow tweets from a set list (or many lists) of people. Yeah, you'll still see retweets if they do ha

I wouldn't say it was a 1:1 identical experience; registering was a pain as there was no process to take over user registrations or channel registrations from freenode. But, assuming you did those things smoothly then it was pretty ide

Heh, that happened to me 10 years ago. Broke my left wrist and sprained my right. Rather than media, it was basically everyone at my university who made it look so easy.

It honestly really depends what you're into and the kind of person you are. For me I hit the usual touristy places like Shibuya crossing, Shinjuku Garden, Akihabara, etc. But I also love baseball, so I went and caught a Yomiuri Giants

Two trips to Japan. Yeah, they aren't material purchases. But I made amazing memories, got incredible photos to put up in my home, and met several cool new friends (who I had to chat with using Google Translate!) that I've kept in

It's too bad they couldn't export the nick db from Freenode and do some kind of auth to allow people to keep their identities.

I'm not sure I understand your argument. Are you implying that in the end, I did the least amount of work to get an internship? If so, that's awfully wrong. I still had an interview loop and all at the company I joined. All he rea

I interviewed at a small company just for an internship several years back. It was an iOS position, but again, internship/jr. level. I said I wasn't an expert but wanted to learn and had spent some time developing some basic iOS a

Maybe, but I figure the typical "#umpshow" issues would continue to play into it if the umps still make a decision with whatever they're given by the machine. The way I see it with what I initially posted, the ump can make a

Yeah, of course it's been a historical problem. But there have been at-bats that are just completely eliminated by an umpire either just being awful or making ball/strike calls emotionally. Some this season have been particularly

In addition to my prior comment, I've always thought the best path would be an automated "assist". So you get the human calls from the ump, but at the same time there's a way of signaling if any are egregious. If so, you

Cannot come soon enough. This season in particular has seen way too many poor ball/strike calls.

Sounds like Ocular Migraines. I've gotten them now for about 10 years. Usually I get them in clusters after not having them for a few months. Wish I knew if it were something more controllable. For me it's a bright, shimmering lit

As with anything, everyone has their own style of learning. Yes, a large portion of developers just copy/paste from SO. However, many people also use the results of what they find on Google to learn concepts that the actual docs for ju

Not just podcasts. Many of my favorite Youtube channels have websites built with it and then usually have an in-video advertisement with a promo code.

Yup. My parents live up near San Francisco. Their water comes out of the tap totally clear, tastes "fresh". I've lived in multiple San Jose homes now, including SJSU dorms, and in every one of those, the water came out of the

Honestly that's my point (and perhaps I should have been more clear about it). I think in hindsight I vastly prefer synchronous chat- which is why I pointed out in the beginning that AIM was the closest online communication to in-perso
