    I think that is largely a difference between the lore and the gameplay. Alduin in lore literally eats all the matter in existence like a black hole. In the game he kinda goes again…

    In Skyrim they didn't send Alduin into the end of time, just into the future (also there is going to be an Elder Scrolls VI so V can't be the end of time, but will likely be the en…

    That was the first thing I thought of when I read this headline. That show is one of my all time favorites, very underrated!

    This is an excellent point and I think that while most languages will fade away in time, if they even contribute one new idea the project is worthwhile. If we had asked programmers…

    This is a very realistic take on the subject. From an academic perspective it is a tool to be used as any other and gaining knowledge on how to better protect data is worthwhile an…

    "Give me a daily schedule of a stoic hedonist" worked for me just now. https://chat.openai.com/share/04c1dbc0-4890-447f-b5a5-7b1bc5...

    Russia has something like 4,000 nukes, only 1 or 2 really need to work to cause massive devastation. It's much more likely that more than 1 or 2 still work and that is more than en…

    I have hemorrhoids and bought a bidet about 2 years ago. I have not had a single flair up since I started using it. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

    The unit testing section is interesting because I feel like this may not be the perfect approach to them, but it is not a bad method. Too many times I see unit testing being used a…

    As my last image in round 5 I got a photo of WWF where Mankind was on top of the hell in a cell. I guessed 1998 because of the meme and got it correct! It was the only image I hit …

    I personally don't like the Monaco GP due to how big the cars have become making it (nearly) impossible to pass. Still you are correct it definitely is a classic race. Monaco, Spa,…

    Honestly I don't have any issues with this. Most of my team is in Europe and I'm in America so even before COVID and WFH became the norm, I was still talking to people via Slack, T…

    I do the same with my .vim folder. You can place your .vimrc file in there as .vim/vimrc and now everything is backed up in git. I've been working this way for a few years now and …

    I think Boston Dynamics is the closest to making robots that could actually be useful in real life situations. I would love to develop code for one of these.

    I think this is a very valid point. There are times when Python is not the absolute best choice for a given problem, but in most cases it can allow you to achieve the desired goal …

    The pawn movement is acknowledged at the end of the first paragraph: > Pawns are a little weird, but in general they always have to move forward.
