I watched half of the first episode of season 2 then realised how utterly disengaged I was feeling, and so stopped there.

I suppose there’s still some lingering resentment of the final season of GoT which is making me feel reluctant to invest my time in this.

I think the point of this comic is that AI is doing all of the fun creative stuff for us but the jobs that we actually hate doing are beyond its capabilities.

Maybe not “as many years as they need” because it would never get finished, but definitely allow them 4-5.

His interview certainly lent some additional weight to the theories that he’s been trying to run the company into the ground the whole time.

If you own multiple homes, then you can view all but one of them as an investment, as you can sell them when the market is good.

If you own one house and have a mortgage on it, then the market going down is bad because you end up with negative equity.

If you own one house with no mortgage, then the market going up is bad because it’s harder to upgrade. I wouldn’t mind my house being only worth £10,000 if it meant that I could buy my dream house for £20,000.

YouTube have such a stranglehold on the >1m market, that’s why they can afford to stagnate in that area and look into other markets. They don’t have to fear a competitor threatening their core market any time soon.

The problem with randomising the test order is that it compromises the reproducibility of results. If there are ordering issues, then your tests will sometimes fail and sometimes pass, but will developers look at that and think “ah there must be an ordering issue” or will they think “damn these flaky tests, guess I’d better rerun the pipeline”?

After Cars 2 I had very low expectations of Cars 3, unsurprisingly. It’s a miracle that I was convinced to watch it. Yet somehow I was, and found it to be bloody good.

There’s also talents that are byproducts of being born to wealthy parents

Cloudpunk has really nice atmosphere but is highly linear, almost to the point of belonging to the “walking simulator” genre. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed it, but just don’t go in expecting much in terms of gameplay.

Friend, you’re 20. The concept of “potential” being “wasted” at this point in your life is non existent. You’re still right at the start of the journey. Don’t dwell on what you think you might have missed yesterday. Make a plan for tomorrow.

Car manufacturers won’t spend extra on a fancy feature unless they can’t sell without it. That’s why most cars have such nasty low-res screens for the entertainment system, when a nice high res one (like the one you have in your phone) would only cost a few quid more.
