Sounds like someone is trying to morally justify their success off the back of those sweet, sweet subscription revenues. Heated seats is a luxury, sure. But what about music? Kitchen appliances? Movies and TV? Productivity software? Transpo

The Blu-Ray release of Star Trek TNG suffers from this a ton -- it was great seeing one of my favorite childhood TV shows in high def but it made all of the costumes, makeup, and sets look so fake!

> When I see someone who claims not to like when software gets frequent updates, I ask myself: "Do you even like software? I thought new functionality was supposed to be exciting!" Taking away a much loved feature is exciting?

Yeah you should be playing AC: Black Flag then

by tomc1985 4y ago
Hmm, I have AC: Black Flag and I thought it worked fine offline. I will have to check now, because that game isn't much newer than this.

I think this is unprecendented with Steam. I have heard of games being delisted but I can't recall Valve ever removing them from peoples' libraries. If I owned a copy of this game on Steam I'd be requesting a refund immediate

There is a whole single-player game in there that doesn't need online connectivity.

Seeing all those OS logos in the corner of each VM makes me think this is enormously inefficient to run on a desktop/laptop Like... Fedora and Debian? Why?

It is absolutely disgusting how much gets done in this world simply because someone needed to stroke their ego. Legacies, bonuses... pah. Pathetic how predictably selfish we humans really are. What really strikes me is the lack of customer

I've worked with both extensively, though my experience with Django is mostly with very old versions. In my opinion Rails is definitively "higher velocity" than Django (recent versions of Rails have an answer to nearly everyt

As soon as I saw the opener with "one chatbot to rule them all" I knew this would be a fun time. Was really hoping they accidentally made avibot say nasty or disgusting things though. That would have been even more hilarious.

There are plenty of experienced Rails devs out there. They don't need to be younger.

The dude is burnt out, give him a break. Also, from my own observations, in Europe "hipster" doesn't have a negative connotation, meaning simply "cool person" Part of the reason I left software is because everybody

If you don't enjoy it then what were you doing working at a datacenter? I enjoyed server admin, "back in the day", when your servers were pets and not cattle. But of course we have to make tech just as expendable as our worke

Are you calling all creatives schizophrenic? Because, uh, citation needed, and that goes against my experiences of hanging out with nothing but creatives 90% of the time. Us all being schizophrenic would be pretty revelatory if it was true.

For the backend devs, it doesn't have to be this way but the business side of our community absolutely hates overprovisioning and are allergic to deploying power in reserve. It's that foolish "well I'm just leaving money

This sort of bullshit is exactly what causes companies to go downhill. Strong leadership would have handled these layoffs much, much differently, to say nothing to the fact that a good CEO should have been able to avoid them entirely. Ricci

I get that, but I am looking for specific examples. Suspicions without proof aren't worth a whole lot to me. Kaspersky has been in the game for quite some time, and Russian secret services aren't exactly known for their discretion
