If you weren't playing games in early 1997 then Quake started using voodoo cards, it's nearly impossible to understate the before vs after. Carmack and id are responsible for at least 4 or 5, "I had no idea a computer could d

In these cases, you aren't writing for people; you're writing for search engines and the airbnb search / ranker. So I think the llm text expansions help.

You know that's nonsense. It's not just tagging a release; the interlocutor is demanding real work, ie a full qa pass. A release means, in the real world, "we view this set of things as working, and have tested it as such.

They broke it intentionally for money. The second they paid people to game their search engine (ie adsense), the entire thing was on the road to uselessness. There always would have been that incentive, but Google turbocharged it, with $33

I think the blame should be less for not keeping the supply chain alive, and way more for being caught by surprise. The interval between needing/buying X and receiving X is critical to understand. Crucial electronic components for a p

in my experience, AirBnB expanded way past fun/unique travel experiences and into direct competition with hotels. Except shittier and way more expensive. I started refusing to use airbnbs for business travel. Hotels: way cheaper, par

I read that more people have been to outer space than have been to the wreck of the Titanic. Anybody who didn't think this was an extremely dangerous thing to do was lying to themselves.

The massive advantage of Electron is write once -- with some extra overhead, perhaps 40% effort -- and you can ship the same app to web, mac, windows, ios, android, and linux.

Unlikely. Reddit will anonymize -- well, "anonymize" -- the data by disassociating posts and comments from the username. This is potentially gdpr compliant (anonymity is a valid way to do things!). There's separately a bala
