They even made 0.18 mods to be 1.0.0 compatible this way the game releases with all mods already up to date.

>The only problem I have with it is it is still really Windows only, hopefully that will improve with .Net Core 3.

I've been writing games in C# that run on Windows, Linux, OSX, iOS, Android, Windows Phone, UWP, AppleTV, Nintendo Switch and more for years now.

Ironically, the most compatibility issues we had was with Windows Phone and UWP.

“The greatest shortcoming of the human race is our inability to understand the exponential function.”

Funny thing is some games are designed to be boring but still addictive, so that you will pay to skip playing the boring game. It totally blows my mind that people will pay to not play a game.

There is a lot of snow where I live and the ABS triggers all the time and yes some people just slam the brakes expecting their ABS to optimally slow down on ice.

ABS not working as intended could be a surprise to the driver and cause a crash, especially if you become dependent on it.

It's just like that AF 447 crash, they stalled from 38,000 ft to the ground because they never expected the computer to let them stall the plane.

But I mostly agree, the only software things I would see as absolutely life critical on a car would be drive-by-wire controls. All the rest will just either stall it, reduce performance or break something.

It's just simple straight humblebrag.

On the other hand, they also believe in homeopathy, so you would only need 1 litre of moon water to produce billions.

edit: excalibur beat me to it.

The lineman (and my guess is the pilot too) wear a conducting and fire retardant suit made of metal threads. This essentially acts as a Faraday cage.

Then they are going to make the plastic package part of a cheap accessory for whatever they are selling. They are already doing that to boast the feature list of their products: "Practical widget holder included!"

Assuming all actors are rational, which they often are not.

It's a lie by omission. The title should have been something like: "Nissan Admits Internal Test Data Was Falsified"

Boring, I know.

My father used to tell me: "Don't skimp on your bed, your chair and your car tires."

They paid someone a lot of money to design their UI, so they better do something different from the rest of the world, else they would have wasted money.

I never understood the obsession of all car makers to always design EV and hybrid cars with ugly shapes and black plastic all over the body.

Can I just have a regular car that works on electricity please? Spare me the tacky from-the-future look please.

This. I wanted to do games since I was a kid, so I assumed I would be the best at it just because I loved them so much, until I got the job. Then I realized I sucked at it. I left the field for a few years, relearned everything from scratch, reset my goals and tried again. Now I'm much happier.

What I find the most impressive about Syndicate is the action phase was only 16 colors.

There must be a name for that, when someone casually says something is simple when it is in fact a very complicated subject.

EDIT: After some googling, TIL humblebragging.

I know right? Those rich people are not assholes! They must be criminals.

EDIT: /s It ended up he was right, but maybe he had no reason to actually know they were cons. We don't have the full story, which is exactly why it has been retracted.

Or maybe present Earth is a single cell in Their giant cellular automaton machine.

What I hate the most about StackOveflow is people continuously questioning the poster's motive instead of answering the question.

That often means that if the answer doesn't involve glittering golden code seeping perfection, people won't bother and will just answer: "Don't do that."

For instance, there is no point in refactoring a piece of code that never needs maintenance. In that case it is good debt and it already paid off.

It's pretty obvious what will happen; it will transform into CO2 into the atmosphere. But at least it will have given us a few hundred years to figure out instead of piling over the present mess.

> At the moment, a litre of a solution of even the improved enzyme would break down just a few milligrams of plastic per day. Its plastic-digesting ability must therefore be improved by a hundredfold or more to be commercially useful.

Good! The last thing we need right now is yet another source of CO2. I say bury the thing, it's that much carbon sequestered for a few hundred years.

For a while, the best and cheapest ISP in Montreal was a beauty products company. They had a shit ton of modems in a back store and a very good admin I guess.

I can attest to that. I'm perfectly fluent reading English, yet my spoken English is so bad I just can't finish a sentence without fumbling and taking detours.

Like any language, you need to immerse yourself in it.

Are people really that surprised 1.1.1.1 won't work everywhere?

I suck at networking, but I worked that job just long enough to know there is some pretty horrible stuff such as 1.1.1.1 being hard coded all over the place, even in high-end hardware.

AT&T's crime isn't really that they are stealing stuff, but rather that they aren't doing anything to fix the millions of legacy stuff with broken 1.1.1.1

Granted, the most plausible explanation is they thought: "To hell with it, it's broken, we are going to use it."

Also, number triads ending in 1 or 11 smaller than 80 need an 'and' conjunction. And numbers ending in 1 need to concord in gender. What a mess.

Before the 1990s there were also all sort of over-complicated hyphen rules. Thank god it's now simpler; hyphens everywhere.

The rule is simple. You can't present content differently to the crawler than to a user coming to your site from google.

This is why expertsexchange always had the answer at the bottom of the page and why most paywalls are disabled if referred from google.

One major thing we are no longer exposed to are parasites. Those were common before but they are now pretty much inexistant in western civilization.
