Much easier to park AND drive away. I see very few disadvantages really

As Donald Trump,

Not just because he is in the media all the time these days, but mostly because he’s:

• evil
• delusional
• senile
• rich but also tries to make money
• a scam
• arrogant
• narcissistic
• political
• meme template
• and you never seem to get rid of him

True, I usually refer to something similar: Do you know how many people die in bed every year? Perhaps we should ban beds.

Not true, look at for example young children. They stuff things in their mouth that aren’t food all the time.

For real

How about I don’t pay the invoice, because we’re such good “friends”?

As a Dutchman, I agree we have great infrastructure and “walking” cities. But you’ve only seen Amsterdam. Outside of the cities, The Netherlands is more dependent on cars than you might think. I live on the border of the country and public transport is basically non existent and cycling is not viable due to travel distances, every adult has a car in my area. A family of 4 adults (children over 18 living at home) have 4 cars parked in front of their house here. We’re not as car dependent as the US, but we don’t live in a fairytale either.

Better start now, the US might need a new one soon. /s

A smart contract as the declaration of independence would be awesome though.

EA: hold my beer

For example: in FC25 you can have 14 ms ping to the server, but still have a laggy experience as if you are playing with 1,400,000 ping.

Such negative sentiment. Not everything is about rebelling against billionaires you know? Space travel is following the same innovation curve as any other mode of travel. Remember how expensive a car used to be, or flying? Those used to be only for the wealthy, now you can hop on a flight to the other side of the content for less than 100 Euro. It will eventually be the same for space travel. The cost of space cargo is coming down quickly, which will enable us to explore “the final frontier”. I hope I get to experience it in my lifetime and it isn’t really outside the realm of possibility either.

The way I see it, there are two types of developers we should take into consideration for this discussion:

• Software Engineers
• Code editors

Most “programmers” these days are really just code editors, they know how to search stack overflow for some useful pointers, copy that code and edit it to what they need. That is absolutely fine, this advances programming in so many ways. But the software engineers are the people that actually answer the stack overflow questions with detailed answers. These engineers have a more advanced skillset in problem solving for specific coding frameworks and languages.

When people say: programmers are cooked, I keep thinking that they mean code editors, not software engineers. Which is a similar trend in basically all industries in relation with AI. Yes, AI has the potential to make some jobs in health care obsolete (e.g. radiologist), but that doesn’t mean we no longer need surgeons or domain expert doctors. Same thing applies to programming.

So if you are a developer today, ask yourself the following: Do actually know my stuff well, am I an expert? If the answer is no, and you’re basically a code editor (which again, is fine), then you should seriously consider what AI means for your job.

How is the company fucking me, if I enjoy playing the game and get my money’s worth?

Perhaps Linux isn’t the right operating system, but it’s competing with Windows, which is more or less a jack of all trades. Linux today isn’t a jack of all trades, mostly a niche solution. That is fine, but we can then not pretend it’s for everyone.

Meanwhile, I’ll keep trying with Linux, hoping one day it will be the jack of all trades and I can seamlessly use it.

Just pointing why it’s not as easy. People don’t want to go cry at game devs/companies that Linux is not supported. They just want a plug and play solution. It’s like telling people to buy a different brand of car, but they cannot use it on the same roads they usually drive and then say: “go cry to get that resolved”. No, I’m not going to take a different route home, I will just use the car that makes my life easier.

The problem is that Linux is only ready in certain cases. For me, it isn’t there yet, because I can’t use it for my gaming machine. Every time this is brought up, Linux enthusiast shrug it off as “no big deal”, you can game on Linux, just the games that use kernel level anti-cheat won’t work. Well yeah, that’s a bit the issue, I still like to play some of those games you see?

Meanwhile, I have Linux Mint running on a laptop that I bring on vacation. I don’t game on that one. Then Linux works just as well as any other OS, no issue.

It’s an Alfa, “Break” might be the correct terminology /s

Joke of course, I love Alfa’s!

I’d probably be all right, Tyria looks nice this time of year. At least as long as the Charr play along.

There are plenty examples of religious leaders raping and killing children and other offenses. But I guess they are above it all then?

Well, I guess you’re all satisfied, it seems to be guaranteed /s

The NCAP score for these should be -5, no way that is safe!

It’s WYSIWYG all over again…
