When you burn a disc it means using a laser to etch the data as pits and lands in a track on the disc. You’re physically changing the disc when you write to it.

I’m invested because higher adoption of my preferred platform causes prices of said platform to drop, making the platform economically attractive to develop for.
Fewer users causes less effort to go into the platform by larger corporations due to lower revenue streams, diminishing updates and feature count over time.
Eventually, users leave due to pain points not being addressed. Shrinking user bases causes independent developer talent to focus on other platforms since the economics no longer work in the marginal case.
The shrinking independent developer contributions to the ecosystem make the required effort to develop for it that much higher, since the tools and apps that would have been built weren’t.
Higher development costs slow down feature pacing, due to the increased effort needed to substitute the efforts of missing ecosystem developers.
Lack of feature cadence drives users to other platforms, shrinking the user base, bringing us back to step 1.
A 172 is the plane you train to get a beginner license in. 90-120mph max.
From other discussions I’ve seen, the guy stepping down was frustrated by having C code rejected that made lifetime guarantees more explicit. No rust involved. The patch was in service of rust bindings, but there was 0 rust code being reviewed by maintainers.
As a mechanical engineer who spent multiple thousands of hours using SolidWorks, trying to use FreeCAD felt like flying a Cessna 172 after getting used to a Citation jet.
They obviously use the netbeans IDE
Nope, 1/4 the stuff with 8x the detail!
Now that I think about it, Felix Felicis in the HP universe is basically an analogue to atium in the mistborn saga.
Mistborn did it a little better.
Michael Bay movies aren’t fun to watch because they have airtight plots and intelligent writing. They’re fun to watch because there are sparkly things going boom and it looks pretty.
The Harry Potter series is effectively the same thing. A spectacular story that’s fun to experience the first time through.
In both cases, if you think too hard about it, the thin veneer giving the appearance of coherence disappears and you’re left with a logically inconsistent mess.
It’s not going to stop me from watching Independence Day or reading Prisoner of Azkaban again though.
They fought most of the rest of the world all at once and it was pretty touch-and-go there for a bit.
If Hitler had died of a meth overdose in early 1940 I could see the universe of ‘The Man In The High Castle’ coming to pass.
As it stands, meth heads gonna meth, and he decided fighting on 2 fronts was fine.
Do we just want a reasonable subscription price?
Yay, basically. I paid for premium when I could afford it because I want the platform to keep working and I hate ads.
Premium prices went up without a lot of value for me so I quit paying. Technically premium offers a lot but the core feature that I actually cared about (YouTube without ads) never changed in value. If I had the option of only paying for that, I’d do it. To me, YT is a higher priority than any other streaming service. But they don’t provide a way for me to only pay for the stuff I care about
My mom told me that she was made fun of for having a book of hand written account credentials related to running her business (6 people total). I told her it was the best way to do it that wasn’t massively overcomplicated for her situation and to keep it up. The only recommendation I made is that she use different long passwords for every site since she’s already not memorizing them.
Personally I’m not convinced this isn’t the best way unless you’re being targeted by physical bad actors
“Aren’t you a little old to be judging other people’s hobbies?”
Amazon and Facebook probably aren’t tape free either. Tape is crazy cheap and reliable. It’s just really slow.
I’ve literally never seen or heard of porn being on Twitter/X. This is news to me.
Now he’s getting other people’s shit together
Japan has 1/3 the population vs the US so that means that nearly every man, woman, and child has Twitter in Japan vs 30% of US people.
I made a point a few years ago to play through every single unplayed game in my steam library. I’d picked up over a hundred games from random sales and humble bundles, And thought it was a disservice to myself to have unplayed games while buying new ones. This was one of them. I think this game had one of my favorite stories of any RPG I’ve ever played; it was number one until Baldur’s gate came out. I later learned it was a spiritual successor to planescape torment.
If you liked this one, another gem that I played during that time was Tyranny. I’m currently working my way through pillars of eternity; I’m really liking it as well so far.
I disabled my TPM in BIOS so Windows would never upgrade
Sorry anon I make about 50% more sitting behind a desk and playing Lego with web services
