- Comment on Helldivers 2 and Palworld devs wish players understood that 'easy' additions and updates are sometimes really hard: 'That's half a year's work. That takes six months' 1 week ago:
Describing design problems and attributing them to “bad code” is part of the problem tbh. The issue in your example started long before any code was written.

When you outsource the thinking, you outsource the learning.
Stealing this because it manages to put technical concerns into hand-waving manager speak.
And a pretty solid article. I think leaning on micro-enhancements to performance a little to hard at the end but the rest jibes with my experiences working in a large company where non-technical bloviators are leading the charge of changing the approach field they don’t understand and have no training in.
“We’re bringing AI to OKRs!” they say hungrily, as their weak arms attempt to pull the rug.
“Sure you are”, I say, pretending to stumble.

Ah I misread this
It started refunding deposits for the $16,000 extra battery pack.
You are correct.

“Thanks for all the $16k loans at 0% shmucks. We’ve kept the interest we made while rates have been up and now you can have it back while they’re dropping. Of course, your money is now worth less than it was when you gave it to us during high inflation. Suck it losers. Love, T E S L A”
- Comment on U.S. seeks breakup of Google's ad-tech products after judge finds illegal monopoly 4 weeks ago:
Once upon a time they were the “good ads”. They had an unobtrusive but instantly recognisable ad-format that was reasonably tolerable and text-only. It was once they started showing sponsored search results that it became apparent they were willing to be subversive to get clicks.
Their whole image was built around user trust and the moment they had everyone hooked they 180ed.

- Comment on Wii Homebrew Community "Built On Lies And Copyright Infringement" 5 weeks ago:
Looks like someone decompiled it and compared it to RTEMS code.
What I don’t get is that RTEMs appears to be dual licensed, with one being under BSD… So they would just need to attribute somewhere and then they would be fully compliant.
Maybe the bigger picture is more complicated than that though.
- Comment on Google won't bring new Nest Thermostats to Europe 5 weeks ago:
I built a thermostat with a Wemos D1 mini and a relay module about 10 years ago.
Still use it today integrated with home assistant and can turn the heat on and off while away from home. It’s been reused across three boilers, no parts replaced.
It was a really fun project and I had virtually no experience with Arduino when starting out. Would recommend it to anyone.
- Comment on Oblivion remake is... really making it apparent how outdated Bethesda is in its approach to making games 5 weeks ago:
As a long time Bethesda game fan I agree with you on almost everything you’ve said about Bethesda… But the remaster is a terrible example of your points.
The remaster does exactly what it says on the tin and they’ve been very upfront about how it was made and why it was made in the launch video.
It’s hard to criticise them for cashing in on nostalgia when they’ve shown time and time again with Skyrim re-releases that do a fraction of what the Oblivion remaster does still selling like hot cakes.
Nostalgia is at the core of their business model. That’s why they march Skyrim’s corpse out every two years like clockwork; that’s why they picked Fallout for a new franchise after ES; that’s, frankly, likely why Starfield sucks so much.

Is this the end of the metaverse?
I mean, it was DOA so I guess my question is more: is this Zuckerberg acknowledging that the metaverse is dead, finally?

There’s a reveal trailer and a launch trailer for Clair Obscura that give very different perspectives on the plot, well worth watching both.
Obligatory: thanks for all the daily posts!
