Somebody needs to get on deduplicating UTF8 ASAP
I’m only still here because account deletion is broken on KBin.

That’s reasonable. I pulled that info from Wikipedia, and I don’t speak Japanese, so I just was going off that.
That’s great and all, but for those of us that do speak English and are expecting certain grammatical norms, eschewing those norms, regardless of the validity of the reason, makes it significantly harder for us to parse.
The question mark is not a rare piece of punctuation, either. It’s used in China. It’s used in Japan. It’s used in Vietnamese, every Romance language I’ve ever encountered, and every Germanic language I’ve ever encountered. I’m not saying I understand all those languages, but I can certainly recognize when someone’s asking a question in one because the question mark remains the same.
This is a piss-poor excuse and reeks of the attitude of one who’s never encountered a language that doesn’t use the Latin Alphabet even in passing. Oh yeah, by the way, it’s called the Latin Alphabet, not the English Alphabet.
To add on to what everyone else is saying, compared to the Apollo capsules, Starship is fucking HUGE. Apollo 11’s capsule was 10 feet tall by 13 feet in diameter. Starship is 180 feet tall not including the launch vehicle.
Edit to add: Mercury was literally just an ICBM with a dude strapped on top, with Saturn V being based on that design. We’re only now beginning to make designs that are actually made just for space travel.
God, what I wouldn't give for a standalone VR headset with the Steam Deck's internals…mostly because I just want them to shove a whole bunch of support behind getting VR to work right on Linux.
Phone screens aren't 16:9 anymore though, so they'd probably end up having to cut down a really big phone screen (like 9" or so) or just make it custom.
In my time, I’ve encountered edge sharp enough to cut the very universe itself.
Can you imagine anyone saying “it’s a book” to try to say that they don’t matter?
Atheists do it all the time when talking about the Bible
It changes the question from “why not use duck” to “what does duck really add to bing”
Isn’t that alias already present on Fedora by default?
Why not just get a NUC and run Kodi on it?
In my world we prioritize one. And that not the one.
Then I’m really glad I don’t live in that world.
If you can’t see that writing readable code is part of the means to that end, I don’t know what to tell you. If nobody can maintain the codebase because it’s a mess of spaghetti logic and 20-deep dependency trees (I’m looking at you, every JavaScript project I’ve ever seen), the end product is going to suffer while also making every single engineer working on it want to leave.
This is not a controversial take in professional software development.
Funny, it sure seems like “maintainability should not be a priority” is a pretty controversial take to me.
What an utterly blind, self-centered view. Write good, readable code so you can actually maintain it and so your coworkers don’t want to kill you.
Those ratings are user-reported and most are several years out of date. I played 4A from beginning to end without any issues.
I’ve got a rip of 4A if you want it. Might even have my old copy for 360 around here somewhere if you’d prefer that.
Shortly before launch, I set up AC4A on a PS3 emulator and it literally could not have been easier.
His deep dives on new chips used the be the highlight of my month when he was writing for them. I haven’t seen anything approaching the level of thoroughness he displays anywhere else. He also has either his master’s or a PhD in electrical engineering, so he may know a thing or two.
Edit: it’s a PhD.
You can’t just go around calling yourself a master spool. You have to go through years of spool apprenticeship then serve as a journeyman spool before you can take the test to become a master spool.
Not to mention, it’s a standard now, and the old Supercharger protocol is being phased out in favor of another standardized one (I forget which). Further development done on their chargers from here on out is going to be done by a consortium of companies rather than in-house anyway.
