The elders had to rewind the movies after watching

I’m pretty sure NATO is primarily a defensive alliance, so US will likely be on their own if they decide to attack Canada.

Many vaccines, including the Covid vaccines, are based on aborted fetal tissue, apparently to try to increase public acceptance of abortion.

I’m not sure if this is Poe’s law in effect or if people are actually this stupid. I’m afraid it’s the latter.

Or the EA Sports games: same game but with a different number on the box art.

His target audience is teenagers, so that’s what you get. I think having a guy like him teach kids about LiDAR and stuff in an entertaining way is a win.

But yeah, as a 30 year old I agree he’s a bit too much.

Neil Blomkamp is like a one hit wonder director. He came from nowhere, made a banger movie, and then he’s unable to replicate the success.

That’s not a mutually exclusive or

How many open source projects have 2000 concurrent contributors working full time on it?

As John Green put it: we can no longer say that the deaths of tuberculosis are caused by a bacteria. The deaths of tuberculosis are caused by human choice. We have the choice to live in a world where millions don’t die by this treatable disease, but we chose not to.

I’m eagerly waiting for his upcoming book about this terrible disease.

It’s Obama’s fault. He shouldn’t have had that Dijon mustard

then it’s a DEI hire

”DEI hire” (and ”woke” for that matter) is used as some form of a right wing code word. They point at thing they don’t like and explain it’s because of [insert code word here]. Repeat it enough many times, and you get the impression there’s a pattern.

”Politically correct” served the same purpose before (until it somehow went out of fashion).

I guess it can be a fun hobby project to learn Rust

That’s what we use in my company: a series of mini waterfalls

Waterfall only works if the programmer knows what the client needs. Usually it goes like:

• Client has a need
• Client describes what they think they need to a salesperson
• Salesperson describes to the product manager what an amazing deal they just made
• Product manager panics and tries to quickly specify the product they think sales just sold
• Developers write the program they think product manager is describing
• The program doesn’t think. It just does whatever buggy mess the programmer just wrote
• The client is disappointed, because the program doesn’t solve their needs

Shadow of the Colossus. Even if the world is largely empty, it’s still more fun to explore than most games. It was unlike anything I played before, and unlike anything I’ve played to this day.

I remember when I first reached the southern plains. I stood on the cliff and looked over the massive area. I couldn’t believe PS2 was capable of this. This must be some kind of backdrop and this cliff is the edge of the playable world. Jumping down the cliff would certainly lead to an auto game over.

So I jumped down the cliff just to try, and to my surprise I survived. What I saw wasn’t a backdrop - it was part of the playable world.

What’s even more amazing is how there’s barely any reason to visit this area. They added this massive area that really pushes the limits of PS2, and it’s just there mostly unused.

They’re overlapping concepts, and can be used interchangeably. Sometimes a library can be all of them at the same time. In simple terms:

• API is the interface to the library.
• Library is code that is shared.
• Package is how it’s distributed.
• Framework is the methodology the library is used.

Not all APIs are libraries. For example, all websites have some interface to interact with them. A website is not a library.

Not all libraries are packages. A library don’t need to be distributed through a package manager.

Framework is a bit blurry where the line is drawn. I think if the library is used in such way that your entire program revolves around it, then it’s a framework. If you’re just using it a handful of times, then it’s not a framework.

React and Angular are frameworks in this regard. If you use them, then your entire programming is revolving around them. Any decision made is in regard to these frameworks.

I would say OpenGL is API, library and framework. Maybe also package depending on how it’s distributed.

What I said over 2 years ago was that Ukraine should seek peace or suffer severe loss of life for no gains.

Yeah, let’s blame the victim. Fucking idiot

Maybe I’m nostalgic, but I think Pokémon graphics peaked with the Gold and Silver generation. They really nailed the color palette in that one.

Oh snap!
