Decent game to quit about 30h in because while it’s good and fun to play, it’s incredibly repetitive.
- Comment on Let's chat about these SEVEN nuclear power plants the LNP want to build ... 5 months ago:
Nuclear is literally the most expensive way to generate energy and no amount of liquid salt or SMR hallucinations can come even close to fixing that problem.
You don’t need to create fear of nuclear, it’s a bad choice all by itself.

A simple (albeit inconvenient) way to improve safety in this case is to prohibit turning left and allowing for a U turn somewhat close by.

- Comment on After announcing increased prices, Spotify to Pay Songwriters About $150 Million Less Next Year 6 months ago:
I agree that live shows (and buying merch) is the best way to support artists.
But the CDNs required to run a music streaming service are anything but cheap.
- Comment on After announcing increased prices, Spotify to Pay Songwriters About $150 Million Less Next Year 6 months ago:
I switched to Tidal after Spotify announced the price increase. The catalogue is basically identical, the apps are much more intuitive, and the audio quality is higher (they recently rolled their premium FLAC subscription into the basic one).
I had to retrain the algorithm for a bit, but that was not so difficult. There are services that can migrate/convert playlists which might actually work for favourites as well.
Also, it’s easy easier to download stuff from Tidal, which is very nice for listening to Audiobooks with a dedicated player.

Cheaper labour in the most expensive town in a country that is well known for high labour costs?

- Comment on I had some that looked exactly like this 9 months ago:
I remember showing up for tenth grade, looking at the list of assigned classrooms in the first day of the school year. Instead of the usual the digit number, it said “C1”. My classmates showed up, and we’re just as confused as I was.
The C turned out to be short for “container”, which we found in a corner of the school grounds.
That said, being able to quickly go outside in every break was pretty neat. And the school actually did get a second building only a few years later.

- Comment on 'There's almost nobody left': CEO of Baldur's Gate 3 dev Swen Vincke says the D&D team he initially worked with is gone, due to Hasbro layoffs 11 months ago:
Pathfinder was created as an updated version of D&D 3.5, which was very complex. PF food streamline parts of it, but ended up just as complex at some point, mostly due to the massive variety of options available through splat books.
Meanwhile, D&D 5e was released to be much less complex by getting rid of stacking bonuses and the vast majority of math.
Parhfinder 2 (which I have not actually played yet) did not do that. They opted for streamlining the existing system by combining several similar subsystems into one (i.e. everything is a feat now). But the math is still there.

The default is very obviously “no”.

I can’t send you a new set of terms for reading my comments and just assume you forfeit your firstborn child to me if you don’t answer within 10 minutes.

I do, and we are actively working on it.
- Comment on Rivian blames “fat finger” for infotainment-bricking software update 11 months ago:
I actually work in automotive testing, and the honest truth is that there likely is no real automated pipeline.
Automotive software testing is much more complex than simple software unit or integration tests. You need to run on actual hardware, accompanied by all the other ECUs you are interfacing with. And the tools that slow you to do so are specialized tools, which often are not yet integrated into CI/CD processes (they’re pretty much all working on it though). I.e. getting test results for a build involves manual labor, which makes it prone to errors.
- Comment on Rivian blames “fat finger” for infotainment-bricking software update 1 year ago:
Integration tests don’t really help if you just push the wring build to production.
Although the pipeline should probably not accept builds that haven’t passed all tests.
