Oh, you absolutely can; maybe not as a matter of formal policy, but if you are a hiring manager or a member of an interview team, you have wide latitude to have concerns about near…

"correct" is certainly not the right way to put that. Inheritance and composition here are both fully valid methods for modeling the relationship, and the decision to use either sh…

I've switched almost entirely to ebooks for fiction, but I will only buy books that fit the following criteria: 1. DRM-free 2. No more expensive than the cheapest suggested retail …

I feel like this article is dramatically underselling the Lend-Lease program. But, more to the point, it never actually addresses why the French changed their minds!

At least for Netrunner, it was only 3x for the base set, and 2x would almost certainly get you enough. All the additional sets after the base set came with a full playset of 3x cop…

In a team-based isometric RPG like BG3 you kinda have to be, the characters are dime sized and anything less flashy just wouldn't read. It's like stage acting, you have to overexag…

Quite possibly; do you specifically mean NLP work? I'll admit, it's not something I work in myself, spaCy seems to be the go-to high-performance NLP library, and does appear to use…

Look, Carmack is a genius in his own corner, but he is taking that quote vastly out of context. The actual linked article[1] is quite fascinating, and does point to overhead costs …

Because it honestly doesn't matter most of the time. In the majority of use cases, your runtime is dominated by I/O, and for the remaining use-cases, you either have low-level func…

I can't say I see the point of this, unless you have a criminally unresponsive backend dev team. Any half-decent backend API will offer parameters to limit the response of an endpo…

I am mystified at how many comments here are shocked at the price; the 4090 exactly in line with recent NVIDIA pricing. The 4080s do seem a little strangely overpriced, but not by …

Land value taxes are not functionally different than just regular property taxes in the places where it matters. In all of the areas that are in the worst of the housing crisis, pr…

Interesting. Even with the examples given, I found Python considerably easier to follow, with the possible exception of the inheritance example. Just goes to show how subjective it…

Spirit Island; an asymmetric co-op game that the thematic opposite of Settlers of Catan; you play the native spirits of an island just starting to get colonized, trying to kill and…

Honestly, the environment design reminds me to Day of the Tentacle a bit. It's certainly interesting, I'm curious about how it will look in full scenes. Still, I'm gonna buy it. It…

The interesting thing is that you would think Blizzard would have known this. Literally the last game in the same Diablo series launched with a much-hated Real Money Auction House,…

Well, do I have news for you: https://returntomonkeyisland.com/

Oof, now there's a name I have not heard in a long while! Has it really turned into a MTG channel? It used to be first and foremost a sketch comedy group that would occasionally do…

Seems like a slight variant of the OG Shivan Dragon!

It's interesting, I actually do think there is value in regionalizing media to an extent, primarily low-level word change between dialects. For example, changing "Go throw the well…

I mean, the "use of it" is obvious, it's another protectionist tariff in a long, long line of protectionist tariffs. It heralds from an age where that was much more common, and is …

Also works in Spanish!

That first tape you mention looks identical to the "bondage tape" from the list. Very different application, but same stuff! I have also heard that it's used in veterinary practice…

> How many empty houses are there in the US, millions? About 16M units unoccupied [1]. > How many luxury condos are being built Quite a few! New construction is almost always targe…

What isn't false in this comment is misleading. There is, indeed, tens of thousands of empty homes in London. In a city with millions of homes. Current statistics show a vacancy ra…
