Right, and then everybody would be in the comments complaining about how "everybody is using a new term for planet and it's ridiculous, just call them planets". It's not a battle that can be won.

Yeah apparently people are getting harassed on the regular about Pluto, I'm a little confused.

Why would you assume that? That's not even true of regular software :D But also, as long as the game works on the specific hardware it was designed for then that's all that mattered, which was my point. If it reads uninitialized m

Who said games were well written? Older games are often very sloppy and buggy, and abuse the specific hardware they're designed for to get extra performance, unique graphical effects, etc. Emulators constantly run into games that don&#

That seems a bit silly considering how many of the most famous paintings and artworks are/were commissions. Do you disqualify anything that was made for monetary reasons?

On its own that seems like a pretty weak justification, at that point we would need to preserve every copy of every book forever because you never know what what useful physical material it has on it even beyond its text. That extends to no

Yeah I agree with that as well, the unsafe keyword takes on a double-duty which makes it unclear how it's actually intended to be used. The idea that you might mark a function that's only made of safe code as 'unsafe' is

I agree and would add to that from my experience: 1. Too many people think that having lots of text makes something impressive, really it's just inconsiderate and nobody is reading it all. 2. Helping people often feels pointless becaus

For me the problem is that the target performance is in a weird spot - low enough that it's not amazing, but high enough to still be very expensive if you don't plan to play games that actually require that performance. A cheap $3

The government will release it with all the copyrighted code and assets that's owned by a bunch of third-parties? Ex. if I license my artwork, music, characters, code library, etc. to a game developer and they don't create a legal

That doesn't sound that unlikely to me personally, not everybody has the best tech habits and some life events can result in losing access to both very quickly. It doesn't have to happen often for it to still be a common event in

The point is that at a minimum you're supposed to bubble the `unsafe` up if the API does not guarantee safety is maintained for all cases (and documents the invariants that have to be kept by the caller), otherwise the system breaks do

> They already have the position of used buying and sales, extending that into in store receiving and listing of items on eBay makes sense. Why do they need to buy eBay to do that?

Sellers what? You generally don't just drop stuff off at a fulfillment center, when you get to that size you're dealing with large amounts of inventory and you ship it to them. If you're saying sellers could come into a GameS

by DSMan195276 5mo ago
Yes but I don't need to go to my nearest fulfillment center if they ship everything to my house, that's why I don't know where it is. What do you think people need to visit fulfillment centers to do?

Yeah this is the funny part to me - if you thought EBay was an amazing business then you could have just bought that stock months or years ago. Maybe the combined company will really be worth more than both companies individually, but for t

Well let's be clear, the "trade-in anything" day was a fancy discount day. They gave everybody $5 for whatever they brought in, online you can read from employees that they just donated or threw it all away, no attempt to act

Well I'd add to that - the real core feature is that the teacher and usually the textbook show you exactly how to use it, that's why it gets listed specifically as a course requirement. That unfortunately is also why they can char

It all depends on the CPU architecture, if it supports something like out-of-order execution then both parts of the CPU could be in use at the same time to execute different instructions. Realistically any CPU with that level of complexity

I think you're somewhat missing the point - if the code from A and B only works if joined with C, then you should squash them all into one commit so that they can't be separated. If you do that then the problem you're describ

In this case because Nintendo has an American branch (Nintendo of America) that imports their goods, Nintendo of America is who paid the tariffs and would get a refund. Consumers only paid indirectly via potential price increases, so no the

I think the public funding aspect complicates this, NASA is probably not in a position where it can blow up a bunch of rockets and still get funding for the next year.
