Their tech debt for the most part isn’t going to be because of the engine. Certainly some of it is. But starting back over and reimagining most of the code base affords them the time and ability to fix problems that make features problematic. As the spiffing Brit likes to point out every one of their titles is absolutely riddled with game breaking bugs. Doing an engine change has the kind of depth required to let them head those kind of problems off before they happen.

Of course with an entire staff of short timers they’ll quickly just a mess new tech debt as they misgauge things.

That’s not exactly true. It really depends on what you’re trying to protect yourself from.

If you’re running an ARR stack, The Pirate hunters out there are going to end up empty-handed at a half decent VPN in a foreign country. But if you’re doing something that will draw the ire of the FBI, CIA or secret service, it’s a little more than a speed bump.

Many local ISPs basically hand the keys directly to law enforcement without so much as a warrant. Most of the VPN providers will at least put up a minor fight to stay in business.

There are mods, lots of mods, But not any that you’ve heard of before and honestly largely not of the same quality of the stuff you’re looking for that was available for Minecraft.

And you feel so incredibly dense every time you run into it and you can’t figure out what’s going on. The crank on my kids bike was out of whack the other week and I kept tightening it down and it kept coming back loose. I was turning the crank one way to tighten it which was pushing it against the lock nut but it needed to turn the other way to be pushed against the bearing before I tighten the lock nut down. If it was all right-handed it would have been clear what I was doing.

If it weren’t for the temperature limitations they’d probably perform reasonably well over a decent period of time.

It would be interesting to see their performance compared to just printing bushings.

Don’t get me wrong, I would absolutely dearly love to have proper trains running on time to every location.

But we basically made a souffle, and you’re asking us to turn it into chocolate cake.

There are USB cables that do this now. Air capped machines need to be better about sanitizing USB.

Duck duck go is particularly bad at local searches and business data.

Back before Google gimped their own searches, Google was better at finding one-off things.

I’ve moved to SearXNG, which still makes my local searches suck, But the results are usually much better than DDG.

It’s not going to burst, it’s an incredible marketing opportunity that will invade our privacy until and unless we make it illegal. Every screen, camera, vehicle, tool will call home and report everything about you so that the company that sold you the item can make a buck.

I don’t know that it’s absolutely mandatory but it’s definitely pervasive.

He’s the only person I’ve known here in almost 50 years without a middle name. It’s quite possible other people haven’t had a middle name but it’s never come up.

I used to work with a guy that was from China. He only had a first in a last name. He was going to college here and the college required everyone to have a middle initial as part of their login. They just used his last initial as his middle initial.

T.t.t.t.t. taaakkkee iiiiitt … … … I don’t neeeed itttt.t.t…

It’s not just cooking that’s the problem cleaning it is where I’ve had most of my trouble. I need to find some stainless steel 1/8 sheet pans. Target sells them in aluminum but every time they start getting grungy, how roll the dice on a little lye to clean them off. I can let them soak for a couple of minutes then basically sand them down to get off deep baked on oils.

Both low and high ph wreck aluminum. It’s honestly not a great cooking vessel

I just watched that yesterday for the 97th time.

I have a long involved horror story that led up to me needing a root canal that I decided not to post here because it probably isnt nteresting to anybody but me.

For the most part, a root canal is kind of minor. They numb your gums where they’re going to inject a numbing agent, then they inject a numbing agent, worst case they go a little nutso and try to inject a few places in there but the pain is there and gone in 5 seconds. If at any point you feel pain they can do a better job of numbing you. Honestly, any pain caused in the numbing process goes away pretty quickly when they successfully do it.

They poke around, there’s a little drilling, some bad smell maybe heat maybe cold a lot of spitting out little sandy chunks of debris. If the tooth is still in pretty good shape they just pack it back up and you’re good to go.

If you end up needing a crown there’s a good bit more drilling a good bit more spitting a good bit more smoke. But it’s really just the same thing prolonged.

It won’t kill you, it will annoy you and it’s marginally unpleasant, The anxiety of being there in the anxiety of not knowing what’s going on is much worse than the actual procedure. Meditate, chill, roll with it you’ll be fine.

Really old research found aluminum in the plaques once, it was actually from contamination in the water they used to wash the brains for the staining agent.

There’s no solid evidence either way.

IMO the biggest problems with aluminum is

1. a low melting point :)

and

2. It’s reactive to high ph, so you have to be careful what you cook in it.
