Journey is good.

Rime is a good (but emotional) story.

The Speed of Light is NOT About Light

It may be easier to supply DC power directly to the soldering joints (at the right values after the converter) or even replacing that one component as using the jack itself.

A bunch of tiny lightbulbs that use twisted light and quantum mechanics to turn on or off.

And if you want to tank it without overtly tanking it.

“We will need to establish a review and governance board to establish standard data structures and reporting that can be used to drive the initiative.

It will need to be cross team and cross specialty so we should start by establishing a group to identify those people so we can proceed”

A year later and you’ll be lucky if they’ve even picked out who can be part of the review process let alone agree on some convention and adjusting their tooling and processes to make that work.

I was thinking of the term salinity.

There’s also heat exchange so you’ll have deep sea vents where there could be all kinds of caustic stuff and/or minerals.

So it wouldn’t necessarily be fresh even if that stuff wasn’t saline

And utilities for identify the eventual duplicates to save space (while still ensuring you don’t have only 1 copy that can be corrupted)

Like anything else it’s always trade offs.

I don’t write games but a lot of people that do often say something similar. Do play tests for the concept/mechanics.

This way you don’t spend time/energy and resources on art and assets that won’t be used, etc.

Similar to a minimal viable product in regular dev or, perhaps a better analogy, technical demos.

You want to write a site or app that fetches API data for GPS, calendar and Weather and show them together? You don’t start with the UI. You start with:

• Can I get the GPS coordinates
• Can I call another API and get the weather for those coordinates?
• Can I get the coordinates or other info for some future location?
• Can I send that to get the weather?

Once you know you can and that it “works” you build around it.

So like you said. I have boxes, and this other box (or static PNG of a cat) moves around them and when I move this way it drops the box down on another box.

Does that work? Does it feel “fun” to arrange them? No, it feels tedious or can’t get the collision right? Then let’s try a different angle or taking the part that did work and iterating on it.

This also leaves you open to random bugs that end up being “fun” when you lean into them.

Game Makes Toolkit has some good videos on his journey making “Mind over Magnet”. Here’s the playlist.

There’s also PirateSoftware whose entire stream is devoted to “go and make games”

Windows when you can activate it without giving MS your info. Of course, like so many final bosses, it tends to come back harder the next phase.

Having representation isn’t difficult. And actually helps streamline the process for the court.

You’re not walking in there with high power lawyers after arguing for weeks about various things.

If there’s a PD you can listen to them and follow their advice. They’re so overworked it won’t be as effective as having your own but will still be better than none.

I’d still take one if that’s an option. A lawyer isn’t just somebody to defend you. They’re the ones best suited to guide you through the legal process.

You want the court to know it was a mistake? Ok, here’s how we argue that in such a way that it’s not admitting fault for some other legal aspect you need to be mindful of. And here’s a point we can make to see if they’ll change it to this other violation that has less of a penalty or doesn’t result in large premium increases with your insurance.

Using iOS photo editing tools I take it?

That’s not an easy medium to work around, well done.

While I can’t speak to specific apps alot of times it’s house cleaning stuff.

Maybe some bug that affects a certain number of users is found and fixed. And the update resolves that bit, since you weren’t affect, you don’t notice it.

Other times it’s to include fixes in libraries they’re using. So, for example, a JSON parsing library may have a security fix and they updated their app to use that newer version.

Another could be some behind the scenes api/library updates. Maybe a service they’re using for content (such as interacting with Lemmy) or maps or advertisements is being updated and they need to point their app to the new service address or change how they interact with it.

And of course there could be feature updates but those, usually, would be things you’d notice. Although, in some cases, it may be packaged with the application but waiting for some criteria (a backend service to be ready) or may even be part of A/B testing where some users get one change while others don’t so the developer can see which features are preferred using real data.

Could even be a loose stick of ram.

Psych

If I had to guess there would be, at the very least, some businesses that used their business continuity insurance.

Those companies, after paying those claims, will probably be expecting reimbursement or preparing to sue crowdstrike to recoup those costs.

They’re sure you will, or some will, but the number of customers they lose will be offset by the revenue gained.

Since that’s the only metric they really care about at the end of the day it makes “sense” to them to do it.

And the movement they make doesn’t benefit from flippers.

Humans can shift their body forward and kick their legs which flippers can amplify.

If I recall correctly it’s important to be running ECC memory right?

Otherwise corrupter bites/data can cause file system issues or loss.
