- Comment on The grandest factory sim ever made is getting an interplanetary combat system this December 11 months ago:
“Grandest” is not a synonym for “best”. The sheer scale of the things you can build in DSP makes it grander than any other game I can think of in any drama, and that description doesn’t speak to the quality of the game.
- Comment on Microsoft exec says OpenAI employees can join with same compensation 11 months ago:
Hiring someone that OpenAI chose to fire is pretty clearly fair play, but how does this declaration not directly run afoul of anti-poaching laws?
- Comment on Elon Musk vows ‘thermonuclear lawsuit’ as advertisers flee X over antisemitism 11 months ago:
So a plumbing business which books appointments via their nothing-customized Squarespace page, that’s a tech company? And you would think it appropriate if a news story about that plumber causing a water main break being posted to a technology news feed?
Having a website does not make a company a tech company and you are objectively wrong if you think it does.
- Comment on Elon Musk vows ‘thermonuclear lawsuit’ as advertisers flee X over antisemitism 11 months ago:
Is the implication that any business you access via a web browser or app is a tech company? Boy do I have news for you about literally every business
- Comment on Drivers Co-op is doing a kickstarter to expand their Uber alternative thats owned by the drivers. 1 year ago:
And if I could get a ride in this service today that might be relevant
- Comment on After losing over 200 satellites this summer, Starlink loses another 45 just in the past week. 1 year ago:
Hating Musk is okay but this comment betrays a serious lack of knowledge of how Starlink works. They operate on the verge of losing orbit at many times (especially right after launch) BY DESIGN. This is so that malfunctioning satellites will deorbit quickly and not turn into long term space junk. The fact that hundreds have been lost this way is literally just SpaceX being responsible stewards of orbital space.
- Comment on Tinder Launches $499 USD-Per-Month "Tinder Select" Membership 1 year ago:
No, that would actually be worth the money. This sounds like a subscription to feel like even more of a loser when you still fail to get laid.
- Comment on Wait, is Unity allowed to just change its fee structure like that? | Confusing, contradictory terms of service clauses leave potential opening for lawsuits. 1 year ago:
I have been a developer professionally and exclusively using Unity for 17 years. Yesterday, I installed Unreal Engine. I’m doing as many tutorials as I can this weekend.
I have no faith now that there will be enough studios willing to use Unity to sustain a career based on it.
- Comment on Who Doctor? 1 year ago:
If I remember correctly I think this was made after he’d been cast as the Doctor but before his episodes started airing, which means it pretty much had to be an intentional joke to cast him this way.
- Comment on Why shouldn't electric plugs screw in? 1 year ago:
There are a lot of valid reasons not to do a screw in plug, but hoses solved this problem decades ago. The top turns, the cord doesn’t
- Comment on Apple's Xcode Ladies and Gentlemen 1 year ago:
I see the blank lines being included is odd, is that it? Why are the other lines being underlined?
- Comment on ‘Futurama’ Review: New Episodes on Hulu Are Fun Fan Service, but Not Much More (And That’s OK) 1 year ago:
All of their many, many reboot episodes have been nothing but meta in jokes. Episode 2 will be much more informative.
- Comment on Hulu’s ‘Futurama’ Reboot Is Brilliant, but Inside Jokes May Alienate Newcomers: TV Review 1 year ago:
If the previous seasons are available to watch on Hulu as well, then dependence on those seasons might be a feature and not a bug. “Check out this new episode! Oh, there’s a joke you didn’t get, better binge the old seasons. And now that you’ve done that, gotta watch the new ones a second time to get all the jokes now!”
