This will be interesting as young people don't listen to the radio as much as they used to.

So you probably want to enforce a check on having am radio and that it actually works because young folk won't notice it not working as they won't be using it. This means that the enforcement will likely fall at least partially on the car owner. I wonder how younger folk, who have less financially stability and are not as interested in the radios as the previous gen, will react to this potentially new requirement.

This being the US, I would expect the kind of people that argue against socialised healthcare to also argue against on the basis that each person should be capable of purchasing a $10 am radio receiver and keeping it with themselves, their emergency bag or their car for emergencies without needing the state to play nanny

FM has less issues with interference (which is critical if you want to deliver a message) and quality (which you will care about for music)

> While that’s all true, why is being in a car a special case?

This is about US policies. The US has a high dependence on cars so it makes sense that it is being singled out

Some of the scrapers used by big companies do identify themselves as bots by using unique user agents. Of course, it does not mean that they don't have other bots running around without the bot user agent name.

Whether those days are over or not will greatly depend on the outcome of the ongoing New York Times vs OpenAI lawsuit. If OpenAI wins, then it pretty much green lights all the other scrappers to feast upon the web

Problem with this is that you will get a lot of unfinished works. Sales would be checked regularly and as soon as unpopular chapter hits the market and sales go super low, it gets axed. Netflix itself does that too. Look at all the season 1/2 series out there. Imagine spending a year reading a novel just for it to be axed when it is 70% complete

do British brass bands use a specific layout compared to brass bands from other countries? But we all know from experience that brass sections can be really loud with almost no effort involved

Put it this way. If someone got hold of the vuln and exploited all the users and they all sued you, how much would it cost to defend yourself in court (not even considering winning or losing)

why would even use a browser that requires you to have an account to use it? It screamed security vector and was the only reason I chose not to use it

It points to a deeper issue in the Browser Company imo. Clearly, an inexperienced dev wrote that api, a senior approved the PR and no one in the wider team picked it up. And that's a team building the fundamental unit of your digital experience. If they failed at something this basic, I would be terrified to know what else they are missing in terms of security

That's true but people still do it for well documented stuff like Vue, Svelte and the R that shall not be named. Two wrongs that don't make a right

I am glad to put engineers in quotes because many people here and elsewhere will use that word with a straight face while also believing that you can call yourself that while learning your job from watching youtube vids and pasting code you don't understand. We need to stop using the word "engineer" for "software developer".

I shall watch the downvotes come from these so called "engineers".

I guess not since they used the services of a company that could exploit vulns in ios

I am not reading your mind just reading what you write. So what is and is not obvious is something solely concerning you.

If Steam Achievement is not a score, is Harvest Moon not a game then? Same thing about crafting and building games.

And having an ending is not synonymous with a success state or a failure state. I think it's clear that your definition is not a valid one as many games don't fit it

You are splitting hairs here. An alpha/beta of a game is a game too

I agree with you. People treat art and video games are exclusive things when they are actually not.

Pretty much every game (including Jeremy's) on Steam has Steam achievements

In the Sims, mortality only applies to adults not toddlers and below, so only a portion of them can die.

How is a Steam achievement a score? A score is a scalar value not a Boolean one. And arguably it is not part of the game but part of Steam. You won't get Steam achievements of any game if you get it from another store. But using the Store achievement definition, Jeremy's games also qualify because they have Steam achievements (most games on Steam do have the achievements even those that fall outside of your definition of game).

Code explains the what but not the why. And even then, the what might not be so clearly obvious.

This is one of those blindspots devs have in that they believe their code to be good and obvious to everyone but in reality it is not even good and obvious to their future selves who will be the ones maintaining that code

A line of code can tell you what it does but not why. Unless you are on a newish codebase, you will likely need comments to explain why certain decisions were made

Ok, so Harvest Moon and similar farm game are not games. Games about crafting are not games. The Sims are not games. I could go on but I think you already realise that your definition is not valid. Btw, I am not disagreeing with the claim that Jeremy's games are video games

As a Postman user, why would/should I use Yaak?

> I don't know that "parasocial relationships" are the primary reason people like having real hosts

But it is likely one of the main. Me telling you that something is possible doesn't necessarily mean that it is real but you chose to believe it. Whether the source is human is not necessarily relevant. After all humans can and do lie all the time

Soon. Maybe even fully auto generated content where spammers prompt an LLM and the end product is a bunch of audio files

What makes a game a game though? Do you necessarily need action and damage points?

So you basically got exposed to microwave radiation. That's dangerous. Have you checked in with a doctor?

Analogy as the fire and fuel of cognition is basically Hofstadter's view on intelligence. He actually has a book with that title. Also check G.E.B.

you must have been living under a rock. The hype last year was unreasonable. Everyone thought AGI would be with us in a single digit year period

"Windows App" is way worse. You won't be able to reliably find information about it

tbh, many of the main browsers have marketing companies as their main customers

Did you actually read the article? They are just re organising their teams and are actually recruiting 5 more people
