> Linus being gentle to noob doesn't buck the trend, but fits a pattern - Linus only serves his harshest criticism to senior devs who ought to know better.

Very similar to Gordon Ramsey being very nice and gentle to kid chefs, but very demanding to "professional" chefs.

As professional as reality TV allows

I imagine to prevent the salts from providing surface area to allow the carbon dioxide to nucleate and create bubbles. At least that is my thought on why.

You could experiment with pouring some salt into something carbonated. I believe it would bubble more vigorously than before.

From what I recall regarding ad revenue. A single person giving a single dollar is worth around a (few) thousand ad viewers. Due to the way CPM work.

I am proudly one of those dozens.

Yeah, it is "whales" that support those games. The business model is to attract and retain people who pour money into the game for whatever reason.

I like your comment, but I gotta scratch my grammar Nazi itch. It's lose, not loose, unless you can tighten anything by having Facebook or your phone.

But to add on to what you've said. Meditation is great can help you lose mundane, petty worries and live in the moment, as opposed to the could've beens.

To add upon your comment, the moon could also act as an interplanetary shipyard. With the low gravity and stablity, as well as proximity to earth for raw materials and man power. Assuming it isn't completely automated.

Iirc, Isaac Arthur (I know him as a sci-fi YouTuber) has done numerous videos on how we could become an interplanetary/interstellar species. One of those videos covered the use of the moon to those ends.

Very true, especially since some games (cough cough besethda) benefit greatly from modding, fixing bugs in the main game as well as expanding upon it.

Not only that, but undergrad college is slowly turning into what late high school was.

Soon if not already, jobs for once high school graduates are now for college grads for the simple degradation of education.

PBS is a non-profit non-governmental entity. It has no obligation to follow the bill of rights.

Hold on... I thought due to the C preprocessor, you couldn't have just a single pass. Unless they aren't counting it as a pass?

Also, an interesting thing about metacritic (at least from what I can remember) is that they are silent about how they weight differing review sites/critics in how they calculate their overall rating.

Whereas (as far as I know) RT has a simple average for critic reviews and general internet user reviews.

I'd add that, if you don't know the individual critic's taste, they might as well be another take on public opinion. There can be something to be gained, but for the everyday person, you are best off with "what did the general public think" and what did this person (whose tastes I know) think?

A good example (I think, at least when ignoring drama) is Total Biscuit. He makes it clear when playing a genre of game he doesn't care for or if a game is in a setting he loves. He lays it out and tries to be fair and objective (even if that pursuit is a fool's errand).

P.S. I'd also like to say that the pursuit of an unachievable goal (objectivity, perfection, etc...) is a noble pursuit even if unobtainable, as it will cause a drive to be better and improve. Rather than an excuse to be lazy since, "perfect/objective/... is impossible.

From what I understand, it is more that by collecting events that occur in a frame and then applying them on the next. It is easier to debug since you can print out the events on every frame. Which if there is a bug, makes it easier since you'll be able to see the events and the order they came in on.

(not an expert in this field obviously) I believe that it might have to do with HIPAA compliance and the red tape overhead that scares away potential disruption. But I imagine if someone were willing and able to disrupt it, they'd make money hand over fist.

I've always thought that a large percentage of OO design patterns originated from Java's strict OO trappings.

Since Java doesn't allow for first-class functions, it necessitated design patterns in spite of a more straight forward constructs in more imperative or function languages.

But this is likely just me and my biases. (Note: I don't hate Java, but it does feel constraining at times.)

At least in Washington/Seattle, there is a gas tax which helps pay for road maintenance. But of course increases the price of gas. I'm lucky in that I can walk to work (~40 minutes), and the bus ride is roughly 5 minutes faster if I make it to the stop as it comes in.

Do keep in mind that Iceland has a small population and the geology to support geothermal energy, which most other nations can't leverage.

Very long read, when they. Could've linked to Mr. Bones' wild ride...

I love reading about the interesting guts of popular games. Thanks for sharing!

Also, Pokemon has a number of other interesting equations, specifically the capture formula.

Adding a comment as a reminder to look up your project. Which sounds really interesting!

I enjoyed your writing style and wish you can best of luck in this endeavour!

The main issue is that every transfer of energy incurs losses, thus ineffeciency grows.

Though the practically can be examined to determine how efficient an energy storage process can be versus no storage.
