Seems like just another file format to me.

I was joking but this was actually very interesting. Thanks!

Which one is the Brazilian?

If they’re not side-by-side then it may be harder to tell, but the smell should clue you in. If in doubt, just give it a taste.

That’s why I go naked to relay the maximum amount of information.

Even then it’s questionable when they’re begging so hard for an interest rate cut.

Most, if not all, of these books talking about how to get rich are how the authors get rich in the first place. While there may be some good advice in them, the real way to get rich is to sell others on the idea that they could be rich if they buy your products/services.

From the article:

Meat production from dairy cows is a significant component of beef production, accounting for almost 10% of U.S. commercial beef production.

10% isn’t “hardly any overlap worth mentioning”. Even if it was, it doesn’t address the overlap between milk and cheese.

The end of my post is where I address this. Publishers have the option to use their bigger cut to reduce prices, but even if they don’t, money is moving closer to the people actually making the games possible instead of a platform provider. There are also a lot of indie developers. It’s not just all greedy publishers.

I was thinking the other day about how Spore would benefit from modern hardware. Spore came out when multicore processing for gaming was still relatively new and memory amounts were a handful of gigabytes at most.

Momentum. Steam was among the first on the scene and provided the best experience. Thankfully Steam has kept the momentum going instead of enshittification (thanks to being a privately held company), but almost a third of the price of the game is still ridiculous if you consider the effort that goes into making a game vs maintaining a mature platform.

How much of an overlap is there between milk, cheese, and beef? They’re all coming from cows, but are they being calculated separately here? There are also gelatin and leather and other non-food products that come from cows. If there is a way to reduce that methane output, then it would be a lot more reasonable and it seems possible since it’s impacted greatly by diet.

I won’t say no to cheaper games. The 30% cut was settled upon in the days where physical copies were the norm and Steam was still under heavy development. Given how established Steam and digital distribution in general is, it’s not really fair to developers to dedicate almost a third of the price of the game to a hosting platform. Yes, exposure is important, but that’s a service provided passively due to the fact of being the largest platform. Reducing Steam’s cut hurts no one except maybe Gabe’s ability to buy another yacht (and even then, not likely). Even if customers don’t see lower prices if Steam were to reduce their cut, it’d be great to see the actual developers getting more money from the games they put all the effort into making.

A process pool means extra copying of data around which incurs a huge cost and this is made worse by the tendency for parallel-processing-friendly workloads often consisting of large amounts of data.

Usually, but when it isn’t then you’ve got a bottleneck. Multithreaded performance is a major weak point if you need to do any processing that isn’t handled by one of the libraries.

That depends on what the application needs to do. There’s a reason why all performance-critical libraries for Python aren’t written in Python.

Given the opportunity, this kind of slimeball is ready to lieberman/manchin/sinema it up to tank a critical vote on major legislation.

Can a daemon be my girlfriend? 🤔

C is almost the perfect subset for me, but then I miss templates (almost exclusively for defining generic data structures) and automatic cleanup. That’s why I’m so interested in Zig with its comptime and defer features.

That’s true to some extent. I don’t agree with hard censorship like that, but there is also the risk of getting astroturfed and brigaded like reddit, which had a clear example as far back as 2013 where Eglin Air Force Base, FL showed up as “most addicted city”. The goal of censorship is to give your own opinions more space, so I’m not exactly upset if other instances are moderated in a different way when there are plenty of other instances moderated in a different way. The fediverse offers plenty of space.
