Or the funders get bored of waiting after ten years of “no Mars yet” and cancel the project, leaving you with a half finished rocket.

I guess whether it’s worth it depends on whether you hate writing code or reading code the most.

Yeah, it’s all on Twitter and Facebook.

Why hang out in the run down Nazi bar when the big chain bars are all accepting Nazis now?

0 == []
>> true

"0" == []
>> false

0 == "0"
>> true

Some automatic conversion is fine.

a=3+0.2

print(“Hello {name}. You are {age} years old”)

That kind of thing. But the principle of least surprise definitely applies. If you get to the point where you’re adding two booleans and a string, I feel like the language should at least say something. At least until the technology exists for it to physically reach out of your screen and slap you.

That doesn’t mean it’s not higher level than other languages from more recent times.

Pretty much most of the screenshots I get these days are a photo of somebody’s screen taken on a phone.

Makes me long for retirement or at least a giant solar flare.

Much higher floor limit, and no need to enter your PIN every X transactions.

Why would they do that when Google and Apple already do all the work for them?

Yeah, that’s what the rest of the west want, but Ukraine just want to punch Russia in the face and send them packing. They don’t have the people or morale for a full-on meat grinder war over the next decade.

In fairness some of them won’t be able to show up in person unless Jerry Springer shows up to take the front wall of their trailer off.

SNES ROMs were actually around 4MB. People always spoke about them being 32 Meg or whatever, but they meant megabits.

I did like Animal Well, but gave up after looking at one of the bunny solutions and deciding I didn’t have the patience for that.

I think most of the size of games is just graphics and audio. I think the code for most games is pretty small, but for some godforsaken reason it’s really important that they include incredibly detailed doorknobs and 50 hours of high quality speech for a dozen languages in raw format.

“What do you mean Coca-Cola doesn’t want their ads next to a video of three men fisting each other?”

Every video I’ve ever tried to watch on Twitter took ages to buffer, and then looked like something from RealPlayer for the duration of it.

At least porn sites actually manage video streaming successfully.

“Any community that gets its kicks pretending to be idiots, will eventually be overtaken by actual idiots who believe they are in good company.”

Time for them to suffer absolutely no consequences whatsoever.

It is since people decided that you should order through a unified app and have it delivered.

Fast food can be cheap if you start away from the sucker options, but not when you’re sending half your food money to a silicon valley billionaire.

Even if we believe them and all the data stays local to your machine, what’s to stop your average bit of malware accessing it?

So now not only is any data compromised going forward, but all your data going back as well.

That’s per store though, presumably when they sign up with a payment provider (because there’s a lot of rules about e.g. using credit cards to gamble with).

If I buy sex toys from Tesco, it’s still showing up as “groceries”. If I buy from a sex shop, it’s going to be more clear cut.

I can see from my emails that PayPal send out itemised receipts on behalf of their customers, so they’re definitely collecting more data than the big two.

Throw enough investor money at lawyers and anything is legal for an amount of time.

“Oh, I’m sowwy, did we bweak the law? Well here’s 5,000 boxes of paper that say we didn’t, see you in 18 months.”
