18? That's ridiculous. I'd understand 14, but at 18 it's not too rare to live alone and have a full time job. And even before, access to maps or Wikipedia is generally quite useful. It's the social media that's the

I'd guess 90% dev jobs don't involve any algo knowledge more complicated than "should I pick a list or hashmap" or "which columns need indices". They involve converting business logic into code and combining it

How hard can it be to keep a many-to-many mapping between account ids and skin ids, and then make a way to transfer those between accounts, potentially for some fee? Steam has had it for a decade without any issues. The game publisher still

Consider having to decide between a 20 min trip by car, or 1 hour trip by train, and the car driving has 100x serious accident probability. However, you save 40 minutes if you drive. Likely, driving doesn't take 40 min off your life ex

Life has no meaning. We are all as insignificant as grains of sand on a beach. Uniqueness is a big lie that everyone wants to believe. If you enjoy watching netflix more than doing slightly-less-common experiences, you should probably do so
