It’s certainly possible to use it as a euphemism, if not an outright pejorative. “Dynamic truthfulness”, “dynamic sense of morality”, etc.

B2B and B2C are so different from each other they are essentially entirely different market segments, even if they are providing roughly equivalent services.

> Grain is independent frame-to-frame. It doesn't move with the objects in the scene (unless the video's already been encoded strangely) That might seem like a reasonable assumption, but in practice it’s not really the case.

Yeah, I agree it’s frustrating, but I can see why they do it. 500 passengers each drawing even 1 amp each would likely put a serious strain on the aircraft’s power capacity. I’ve taken to just assuming the outlets are useless and carrying a

You most likely tried to draw too much current. The USB outlets on planes are usually limited to quite a low amperage—just barely enough to charge a single phone. I once tried to plug a Steam Deck into one, not expecting it to charge the ba

I mean, as long as the average number of Apple devices per person is > 2 (which seems pretty likely, I have three on me right now), that’s still technically in the millions range.

OP said that was for an entire app, not dependencies for a single gem. And it’s not really that many. A bone-stock Rails app includes almost 120 gems out of the box. Add a few additional gems that each have their own dependencies and you

Some players might have enjoyed extremely punishing games, but I think most players—and game designers—simply didn’t know any better. Creating a challenge that still feels fair is a difficult balance. Look at the old Sierra adventure games,

Not just the classics, there is actually a thriving interactive fiction community producing new games regularly. The annual Interactive Fiction Competition usually gets 60-70 entries each year. https://ifcomp.org/

The problem is that the type of assets you need to design varies tremendously depending on the type of game you’re making. A 2D pixel-art platformer, a multiplayer FPS, a top-down strategy sim, and a puzzle game are all going to require com

That actually is exactly the point. It has to do with the expressiveness of the language as well as how much you can do with the available toolset. If I showed you a 200-line program to play hangman written in C and a 2000-line equivalent p

It’s only a vulnerability if you’re using vulnerable encryption methods, at which point you’ve already introduced a vulnerability. You could make the exact same argument about STARTTLS vs implicit TLS, but it’s generally understood that, as

This was more or less the plan behind the original Ponzi scheme. The problem is that it’s difficult, if not impossible, to convert stamps back to cash at anything close to face value.
