Gotta be one of the most profitable elections ever. Along side this, take a look at Elon’s gains. It’s honestly terrifying

I mean the path forward is obvious. There’s huge demand for a survival focused Pokémon game. Palworld succeeded for a reason, and it wasn’t the assets. We’ve only been screaming for it for years

But knowing Nintendo, that’ll never happen. They’re more of a law firm these days

It’s such a unique game. I don’t know that you’ll find another like it that isn’t focused on combat

Glad I saw someone mention this. The Bills have not had basement level expectations since Josh got drafted

Exactly. Most of the people basing their argument on this can’t tell you what the difference in compute is for inference vs training (astronomical). Alarmist articles focus on the latter

AI’s energy usage is absolutely something we need to keep tabs on, but it needs to be put into perspective

That’s kind of the thing with Unity, as a very, very hobbyist dev. The asset library is so easy to plug into and get what you need, but before long you’re pretty entrenched in the ecosystem.

I adore Godot and love the dev experience with it. Just wish it had more of a thriving asset library

This is my experience as well. I don’t even think it’s entirely dependent on company size (barring very small, like <500). I think it’s just an idea that has caught on, and lots of other FAANG adjacent companies have adopted that they probably borrowed from Microsoft

Honestly, how’s your algebra? Most programming actually isn’t that math heavy. If you aren’t specializing in databases (set theory), graphics or ML/AI, you should be pretty solid with a foundation in algebra. Some of the logical constructs can take some getting used to, but it’s all about practice

It’s amazing the difference competent LB play has made on our defense. Just 4 games earlier we were getting gashed by these kinds of runs on every single drive

He really is great in his role. Hope him and Adam Amin continue to work together they’re a good duo

Oh I eat, sleep, and breathe Rust too 😂.

I adore Rust’s iterators and I’ll take that expressiveness over Go’s simplistic approach any day of the week. Just mentioning that based on the conversations I’ve had with Go devs, that could possibly be the motivation behind it

Yeah I find it a little strange this is not a part of the Go standard library too.

I think it has to do with Go’s unrelenting focus on simplicity and predictability. Not sure how much of the stdlib even uses generics, which are actually a relatively new feature for Go in the grand scheme of things

I do this all the time too 😂

If you haven’t already picked up Phantom Liberty DLC definitely do so! It is absolutely fantastic and you can play it alongside the main game. I just wrapped up my playthrough at about 100 hours and now I feel so empty 😂

Rented so many games! So many Fridays where you rent the game for 2-3 days and grind it out over a weekend

There was something special about hitting up a Blockbuster or the local video game store, peruse the titles, and just throw darts picking out games that looked interesting

And get replaced with what, though? Gopher?

It is certainly wasteful, and over the top, but a lot of that comes out from the needs of modern services being built on top of it. Services that need modern security, modern reliable transport, etc

CORS can die in the fiery pits of hell though

Was about to say Cyberpunk fits the bill quite nicely here
