It’s not mythology, testing was crucial so you wouldn’t ship a broken cartridge, which was very costly than a patch download. It made financial sense to test throughly, and more than that, develop carefully.

I think the only guys that made a working game in a week were Atari VCS developers, and IMO it wa a combination of the limited hardware, and the skill of a few legendary programmers.

Today we get games that dwarf the entire software stack of computers decades ago, but they’re made loosely, knowing they’ll ship broken and need patch after patch until it doesn’t make financial sense, and then they’re abandoned.

My most recent experience is Fallout 76 on Steam, and by god it is a bag of bugs despite being the bread winner of the franchise. For example, a long-standing bug is that once it starts, and offers to press any button to sign in, you have to wait about a minute before doing that, otherwise it will likely hang. This has existed since launch, and after numerous patches it hasn’t been addressed yet.

User declines using the application and escapes downstairs, robot pursues, falls down and can’t get up [mechanical tantrum with loud pig squealing]

It doesn’t mean “never improve”, though.

Right. Super Bowl is about money, and right now Bad Bunny means more money. It’s not a protest, and Trump acting displeased is not because he was caught off-guard, he’s doing what his base is expecting of him.

All this likely was negotiated behind curtains weeks before, and Trump was surely well informed by his team. Just another performance that maximizes profit.

Seems they’re working on that https://wiki.opennic.org/opennic/tls

I’ve always wondered if cells created viruses, or if viruses are a natural consequence of complex genetics. They look so useless, having no need to reproduce, yet killing cells to do it uncontrollably. They don’t even feed, what is their purpose?

– Sir, you need to walk a bit to recover faster.

– Take my signs already and don’t interrupt me!

It’s already in the same screen, both on Android and iOS, so of course it is much better, and not less convenient, to shutdown instead.

I can’t think of any reason not to, besides “I might want to unlock it real quick”, which is exactly what you’re preventing on this scenario.

I didn’t know the song was offensive, don’t know how it entered my library!

What a bunch of marigold flowers, any sign of trouble and they immediately backtrack. If they’re going to be horrible people, at least have the courage to admit it. There’s plenty of scum who would associate with them regardless.

My own penmanship would give their penmanship tetanus if they fought.

A fucking tortilla gives you enough energy to run for half an hour, we’re crazy efficient compared to machines, but the machines just needed a plentiful energy source and it wouldn’t matter that much. Yeah, the original brain computing made a lot more sense:

These monkes love conflict an struggle more than they admit. Make them suffer just enough so they don’t wake up.

I can see many people could sloth their life away, specially during the transition, but other many will pursue their hobbies, passionately tackle things we deem unprofitable, or just find a job anyway because they want more money.

UBI is meant to be a safety net so no one falls in poverty, not a sum that allows people to live lavishly forever. At least not until the machines generate enough money for that.

But it guarantees we’re good fuckers.

It seems I need to file a complaint then!

Very big caveat: while our primate cousins manage to eat some meat from time to time, it was our domestication of fire more than a million year ago that allowed us to access plenty of calories and nutrients from almost any food, everything was suddenly on the table, and was made easy to chew and digest. We are more omnivorous than the naturally omnivorous animals.

Conversely, it’s surprising to see fruit so high up, while fish and poultry are in the middle. Does this mean only vegetarian people eat healthy? Hardly believable for an omnivorous animal like humans.

Tepache. It’s a Mexican fermented drink made with pineapple peels, piloncillo, and a few spices. It’s delicious, refreshing, and super cheap… well, until some entrepreneur eventually discovers it and makes it ultra processed and expensive.

I’d guess a true telepath would easily read your internal monologue even if it wasn’t strictly verbal. He shouldn’t not be limited to the language center of the brain, IMO telepathy so specialized would be a stretch if it was a natural gift.

Is your power dysgraphia?
