Timing is about right for it to be a batch of newly minted CS grads getting into their first corporate jobs.

It’s an issue given that almost everything everyone buys relies on sea traffic. If it doesn’t, then something required to make it did.

For example: the amount of wheat and grain that travels via ship is insane. And those facilities can’t just be built overnight. They need railways to be built and need massive amounts of concrete that itself needs months to years to properly cure so that they can store grain in it. And without those facilities, many parts of the world not directly at sea level will suffer and starve.

No. The melting of the ice caps is now self-sustaining. We dont have enough energy as a species to begin to reverse it now, and it is making itself worse now with every day.

The current glacier they’re worried about in Antarctica is estimated to increase global sea levels by up to 3 meters.

That, by itself puts every single port in the world partially underwater, and most of the major airports too. That means every developed country in the world is looking at death and famine at a scale not seen since the Permian Extinction.

And thats just one glaicier that will be popping before 2030. All of Greenland is also in the process of popping, and that could mean 10m plus of sea level rise by 2050.

Climate change.

Ww3 may or may not happen. Hopefully not.

But regardless of that, Climate change will wipe us out.

Better to analyze for vulnerabilities. Particularly with a number of governments using open source software hosted on github.

Its from the book 1176 BC by Eric H Cline.

End of the bronze age. Have a set of letters between citystate rulers, one writing that help is urgently needed as seaborne invaders have been spotted nearby and his military is off with the hittite empire.

The response back, in modern slang amounts to “lol ur fucked.”

It could be that its success was internally attributed to a different team someone in the hierarchy favoured.

Its adding whiskey, gin, rum or bourbon, depending on the tea(white/herbal or Rooibos for no caffeine) for variations on the Hot Toddy.

Cream of Earl Grey black tea if before 3pm.

If after 3pm, A Bourbon-flavoured rooibos.

If after 8pm, its not just bourbon flavoured anymore.

They screwed up before with automated map generation, and admitted as much.

For Oblivion, they admitted that the Aelyid ruins were mostly computer generated, as well as a lot of the map. Which is why the ruins in particular were so forgettable.

Bethesda can’t do it. They aren’t capable of a decent storyline. Their games are frankly beautifully done mostly empty boxes for people to create their own stories and mods in.

Hell, the Skyrim map is just masterfully done. If you follow the roads it seems big and expansive, and the cliffs/mountains exist to force the player to move around them. But there are lots of little paths and ways to shorten distances.

But a narrative driven experience like fo1 and 2? They don’t have the skill.

Mentions UBlock seems.to be fast and safe, but that the API used lets extensions look at everything you do amd can dramatically affect browser speed. Implying that UBlock Origin is responsible for Chrome being such a memory Hog and that they, not Google, are the ones after your data.

What a garbage article. Chock full of google propaganda and fear mongering.

That would be the Windows Store that is taking advantage of things.

Steam, for its faults, is where it is because it is the best application to do what it does.

Yes others exist, and they’re all vastly inferior.

Except steam doesnt abuse their monopoly.

If they did, Epic wouldn’t be allowed to use Fortnite and CCP blood money to bribe games to their shit store.

Simple, the original team that made DA:O went off to do other things or was promoted into management where they did well, but couldn’t replicate the magic of their OG team.

While thats technically allowed in Canada. When the Conservative party tried to do it under Harper and then-minister Poilievre to start stacking the court system with cronies, every part of the system raised hell enough for evem those religious nutters to back off.

MBAs who contract dev work out to India to make a quick buck without realizing how bad the code they’re going to get back usually is.

Shoutout to Raj the QA lead I worked with in India though. That dude’s team was thorough.

In windows 10 you can reenable it, but you have dig a bit in the power management control panel to do so.

Its unfortunate that this thinking has bled over to Linux.
