My gear is better than the recommended specs. I have to turn off anti-cheating (i.e. https://www.nexusmods.com/eldenring/mods/90 ) to make it run smoothly, which disables online interaction. Seems like it's do

Bootcamps don't ask for almost half a decade of their lives and what's possibly crippling debt (depending on circumstances). If it matters, I have a Computer Engineering BSc and I don't regret it. Although I might have if it

Will definitely take a long while. People in general aren't up to be criticized on that one, even indirectly. Children are like cute kitties: no one wants to see them tortured, but they don't really get to be treated respectfull

Do you mind sharing how you got those references? I.e. which search strings/websites you used, or if you had them at hand with f.e. Mendeley or maybe already knew about them? I wanted to read some papers in the subject a few days ago b

I mean, Myers-Briggs is bollocks anyway so we shouldn't be using it for anything but funsies. I have a dream that one day we will shit hard on that sort of stuff instead of validating it. See also "alpha male".

The words just before it were "a sketchy patched executable". People are bound to infer there is something wrong with it, regardless of whatever your intentions might have been.

I have a feeling if OP had read some of the papers surrounding Daniel Kahneman (and the works Kahneman cited) he wouldn't be so sure about mankind's rationality. It's like the vast majority of experiments on the subject ends

It's not a game if you can't choose to stop playing it. People just don't respect kids. Would you enjoy that game with other adults? Even if no matter the situation they wouldn't give a shit if you wanted to stop playing

So you're implying me the only place supply and demand actually works is in an idealized free market that doesn't exist? If that's the case, yeah, we agree on it. All those cases I mentioned came arose under one of the most (

A close to most fundamental factor must survive close to most observations of the real world. That's not the case. Monopolies have historically shit all over the notion that supply and demand is a good model to use for the market. Much

I don't think you can win this one. The free market might as well be a religion for some people. Nothing (not even historical facts) is enough evidence for it to not be the answers to all economic issues. Also, there are lots of US tec

Thanks for that. My initial reaction to the title was "wait, you can describe prime numbers using formal languages?". I could feel it in my guts that this would probably have some mind blowing Math/CS implications. A shame ho

The game design might be a bit bloated, but dashing and reverse "get over here" is what I always wanted on these sort of games. It's a damn shame how modern shooters just don't go hard on mobility/melee satisfaction

Because the employer judgement is often shit. So becoming an absolute baddass in $obscure_language isn't good for your CV, even if it can be great for your skills as a programmer.

The memories made along the way, obviously. Never helping anyone with technical stuff unless you're getting paid (or whatever similar thing you can think of) is over-correcting for the doormats that can't say no

If what you are selling has to be 1/20 as ubiquitous as Coke to be viable, you are already killing off approximately all business ideas.
