Oh, wait

Hannah Monta!

Hannah Montana!

Well, incidentally, porn bots. And he doesn’t want to lose them, too!

What drawbacks?

At the same time, I feel like we shouldn’t let that happen because imagine if he actually succeeds? And then we just have immortal crackhead Lex Luthor with a hallucinating ChatGPT whispering further delusions directly into his brain. That can’t be good for any of us.

You should note that this was a Gmail feature that is now made available by a bunch of email providers, but you might wanna check that you do indeed get your emails delivered to plus addresses before you rush out to change your contact info everywhere. Some providers have lacking support and sometimes emails may fail to send to plus addresses even if your side does support it. Using a catchall will always work because you know, that’s just how email works.

It is definitely the exact opposite of this. Even though I understand why you would think this.

The thing with systems like these is they are mission critical, which is usually defined as failure = loss of life or significant monetary loss (like, tens of millions of dollars).

Mission critical software is not unit tested at all. It is proven. What you do is you take the code line by line, and you prove what each line does, how it does it, and you document each possible outcome.

Mission critical software is ridiculously expensive to develop for this exact reason. And upgrading to deploy on different systems means you’ll be running things in a new environment, which introduces a ton of unknown factors. What happens, on a line by line basis, when you run this code on a faster processor? Does this chip process the commands in a slightly different order because they use a slightly different algorithm? You don’t know until you take the new hardware, the new software, and the code, then go through the lengthy process of proving it again, until you can document that you’ve proven that this will not result in any unusual train behavior.

I’ve thought of it many times and it hasn’t helped me for shit

I haven’t been paying attention to Hyundai, what did they do?

Oh yeah no that was a typo, that budget is for Alan Wake 2 - its on the Alan Wake 2 wikipedia page, sourcing a Finnish newspaper at the time of writing this comment.

Alan Wake is pretty much the definition of a modern AA game, though, so that just plays into what he’s saying.

While Alan Wake 2 is super well executed, its development costs is dwarfed by modern triple A games that cost at least 10 times more to develop.

(Alan Wake 2 reported budget 50-70 million euro, compared to games like Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Red Dead Redemption 2 or Cyberpunk 2077 which were all reported at ~500 million euro, while games like MW3 (2023) and GTA VI both have billion dollar+ budgets).

Well, shit

Why would he pay for something that’s free…?

Minimalist design really went from “maybe 38 different clickable links isn’t the most optimal way to get around this site, we should probably optimize how we use screen space” to “WE MUST GET RID OF USEFUL FEATURES SO WE CAN DISPLAY 5-8 MORE PIXELS OF WHITESPACE” in the span of a decade lol

If there’s something illegal in your dish, you throw it out. It’s not a question. I don’t care that you spent a lot of time and money on it. “I spent a lot of time preparing the circumstances leading to this crime” is not an excuse, neither is “if I have to face consequences for committing this crime, I might lose money”.

We need a second third party HR team to investigate OUR third party HR team, and make sure they stand up to scrutiny!

Unhappy with the direction investors were taking Reddit, Spez secretly started working on an alternative to the website that he lovingly named the fediverse. However, he couldn’t figure out a way to drive traffic to the Fediverse - at least not without publically breaching his contract in a major way.

His distress grew and grew. His own company was a disappointment. He had the solution, but no way out.

On top of that, his favorite activity - doomscrolling twitter in bed for hours - had become a less and less satisfying experience, as well, since Elon Musk bought the company.

It was for that reason he typed into DuckDuckGo: “twitter alternatives” - and immediately, it dawned on him. He couldn’t help but say it out loud:

“Elon, you beautiful son of a bitch, you might have just saved the internet”.
