The claim is not that they play about 33% of every game but that they completely finish about 33% of all games they play.

The thing about the anti-piracy is true, at least in the original version (I don't know about re-releases). The way it worked was you had to offer at least a few pizzas that were r…

For us, the DX of uv for dependency management is much better than just using pip and requirements.txt. To be clear though, we only use uv in the builder stage of our docker builds…

Kind of off topic but I don't understand the reading time. It says "7.8h 48m". What does that even mean?

Unobtanium was a thing in fiction long before Avatar.

I respect your ability to react to such a post in this way. All I could think was "What the fuck?!"

If you want to combine a mixin with a base class you have no control over, just put the base class last in the inheritance chain. Then it does not matter if it calls its super __in…

This is actually covered by the --locked option that uv sync provides. If you do `uv sync --locked` it will not succeed if the lock file does not exist or is out of date. Edit: I s…

Was there any particular reason you stopped making music? I'm listening to one of your mixes right now and I'm wondering if you were influenced by Klangkarussell at all (or maybe t…

Does he have a coherent position on anything?

I'm not sure I understand the sequence with the rhino. Is he actually killing the rhino by drilling a hole in its back and lighting a stick of dynamite inside the hole? Or am I rea…

I would also say absolutely. We've been using pipenv for ~6 years and have managed to build a pretty good workflow around it. But uv is just _so much faster_. So we've started movi…

What they mean is that in Java, for example, a method has to explicitly state which exceptions it might throw as part of its signature. Note that they said "throws", not "throw". P…

There used to be a list of people on the about page but they changed it, apparently. Here's a snapshot that still shows it: https://web.archive.org/web/20240415120557/x.ai/about I …

True, for instance no wars have yet been fought over 2 for 1 at Dominos.

I noticed that for every movie on the list that I like, I can totally see how others might not. But for most movies that I dislike, I just don't get how people can genuinely enjoy …

You might enjoy the podcast "372 pages we'll never get back". It's basically a bad book club. The title is a reference to the first book they cover which is Ready Player One. They …

A full circle is 360° and a curved piece makes a turn of 30°, so you need 360° / 30° = 12 pieces turning in the same direction to make a full circle. Every time you use a piece tur…

Is there any data showing that you can have too many limitations on e.g. motorways?

Norway may be small in terms of population but it's still one of the richest countries in the world. I doubt they are doing this for the money.

If you are into this kind of in-depth look into fantasy worlds, you might enjoy the blog A Collection of Unmitigated Pedantry ( https://acoup.blog ). For a related article see, e.g…

Wow, you're not kidding. I figured how hard could 2 minutes possibly be. Turns out, pretty hard if you've never done it before.

I guess that's because most of the non-renewable electricity is generated with lignite so even with the 85% renewables generation the map shows at this moment, there are still sign…

That is actually an occasional problem for us because identifiers, including Enum values in Python (and probably some other languages) cannot start with a digit.

> The Outer Wilds (not worlds) is another one that I think rivals Obra Dinn, and is more accessible. It might be the best narrative-focused puzzle game ever made. If only I could p…
