The analogy works if you know the comparison. I mean, first, Diablo 2 did come out in 2000, 13 years before Path of Exile. But also Path of Exile is maybe the game that has received the most updates and content of any game in existence (No

Same, but games run uncompressed assets as an optimization measure to trade disk usage for CPU usage, depending on which is the bottleneck for their particular game (iiuc) So it'd be surprising to me if a developer chose to use uncompr

Can you elaborate on Unity wasting disk space on gigabytes of zeroes? How did you discover that? Is it intentional on Unity's part? Percentage-wise, are we talking 2% of a 100GB game, or 50% of a 4GB game? I can't find anything ab

I got a light interrogation as a US citizen. For the record, I have Global Entry, NEXUS, and TSA Pre-Check. I handed the border agent my US passport and the conversation went like this "why are you entering the country?" "I l

Wait, huh? The article is light on hard figures, but the homicide rate in Sweden doesn't seem to have changed much at all in the last 30 years https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/VC.IHR.PSRC.P5?location... The on

I don't have anything insightful to add, I just want to add my voice to the choir of people saying that after using sum types, working in a language without them feels unnecessarily restrictive and awkward. If this feature were impleme

As a very junior developer, I once worked on a chatbot for purchasing flight tickets. You know the ones, the annoying windows that pop up when you're trying to navigate a (hopefully) otherwise perfectly usable site, the ones that are i

Same. Expedia asked me to test production ticket booking flows using my personal credit card. It was a flow where you can use a special code to book a refundable ticket. I asked what happened if I forgot to refund it in time, or if somethin

Tangentially related, but I don't understand. From light googling, a quick-release steering wheel seems to be a steering wheel that you can simply remove by pressing a button. So from your post, the implication seems to be that if some

This particular question doesn't seem like a fallacy to me. I, like most people intuitively answered b). Given the explanation on the Wikipedia page I went "oh, of course, yeah", but then I thought about why I'd answer b

The previous point is very reasonable, and I think your response is overly flippant and confrontational. I've had coworkers hounded by managers from unrelated teams because my coworker wasn't working fast enough on a feature that

There are a lot of assumptions baked into your position. 1. The employer pays for your time, not your expertise or output. It'd only be stealing from the company if the company cares about hours worked over output. If we explore this c

No. I am almost certainly an outlier, even among my peer group. No kids, taking a break from work, very few responsibilities. When I have a full time job my playtime drops, but 1-3 hours on weeknights plus large binges on weekends can keep

I want to echo this sentiment, albeit for different reasons. When I have a particularly bad day as an adult, I often think back to being a child (or worse, teenager) in school forced to follow arbitrary rules by tired adults who were more i

Just to echo the other children of this comment; I'm pretty lost as to the reasoning here. I game at 1440p on a GTX 1080 from launch day in 2016. Cost is essentially no object for me, as gaming is my primary hobby and I can easily spen

I've been burned by this in the past (also for Italian, but also Japanese). Do you find this issue persists even if you attempt to search the Italian internet for definitions/usage examples in Italian? Or is this problem specific

I'm also thinking quite a lot about this. TL;DR There are many pieces to our culture and capitalist economy that make this difficult, but somewhat surprisingly to me, also many legal hurdles to formalized democratic corporate structure

1912-1964 Republicans may not have been particularly right wing. My understanding is that prior to the "Southern Strategy" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_strategy ) of the 1960s, the Democratic Party

There are a lot of ways to compare these numbers, and I think "absolute dollar amount" is not particularly enlightening among them. On a per-project percentage basis, the parent's story wasted ~100% of the project's budg

I had an encounter with a rude interviewer when I was slightly younger. (Nothing egregious, your run-of-the-mill overconfident person who wrote their own algorithms interview question and scoffed at any answer that wasn't their handcra
