Aren’t beaches often underwater, since they’re beaches?
Why shouldn’t insurance cover it if it’s in their policy?
In the iOS Google Maps app from Canada it shows me Lake Ontario
The Yankees haven’t won the World Series since 2009
That’s already happening, I’ve seen it in NHL games. The commentator typically addresses it because the broadcaster has a deal with the betting company and there’s a contractual obligation to make sure viewers see it and know where to get the app.
They didn’t steal them, they copied them, similar to how Anthropic and OpenAI copied the materials they used to train their models to begin with.
Maybe it’s actually an attractive proposition now that they’ve all depreciated a ton in value?
If those customers wanted to get interest they would have invested their money.

This type of internal financial management is a sign that the people running Microsoft aren’t interested in how any of the divisions actually work or making strategic decisions about their portfolio. They’re accountants pushing the difficult decisions down
Re:Xbox Turns Down Netflix $500M Offer on Sunday October 25, 2026 @01:46AM (#50228696)
Xbox spent $70B for Activision-Blizzard not that long ago, going through a protracted anti-trust process so a $500m buyout would be acknowledging that they made a severe financial error

And then they moved on to make Titanfall 1 and 2 after the founders were unceremoniously fired by Activision, which were also great games
Apple pie is also English in origin

This happens if you are a paying AppleTV+ customer as well
Re:AI is mass decompiling games. That's both awesome and scary on Wednesday October 14, 2026 @01:58PM (#50092045)
What is the gatekeeping in the games industry?

Quality free game engines have been available for years. Being a game developer has gotten so accessible that the market is completely jammed with titles and discoverability is very difficult.

I get the feeling from your post that you feel “ability to write code” was something put in place by “gatekeepers” but not only is that not what “gatekeepers” means, but software developers make up a small part of a game’s production team.

Why would they be locked out? The state before their changes would just be backed up and could be rolled back to. It doesn’t need to intersect with their permissions at all. Crucially, they just don’t have write access to the backups
Well this would be for understanding and modifying the custom tools, which is what the comment I was replying to was about.
It will be interesting to see if the upcoming elections actually happen.
You can also just point an agent at them and the agent will be able to explain them to you, and modify them for you.
Re:US Suspends Visa Program for Tech Firms Including Microsoft on Thursday October 08, 2026 @02:09PM (#50009593)
That is actually not complying with the law. The law says it has to be in at least two newspapers.

Following the published guidelines is not exploiting them. If the government doesn’t like their own guidelines, they should change them.

Why are you thankful that AI is killing that business?

GTA 6 won’t support multiplayer until next year.
Who actually considers a loop a branch? A loop is a chunk of code that will be run N times depending on some evaluation that’s run before or after an iteration. A branch is a single decision which of several pieces of code to run, once.
Re:Account bans on Reddit on Wednesday October 07, 2026 @01:34AM (#49988680)
Reddit recently started being more aggressive about getting you to use their app. They got rid of the old.reddit workaround so I’ve just stopped dealing with the site.
Yes, not exactly a compelling compatibility matrix so far: https://github.com/boykopovar/AnyPS5/blob/main/docs/user/COM...

There’s also a big factual error in the submission title because the project readme has this caveat

> System libraries: percentage of the functions known to the project so far (declared in core/libs/prx), not of every PS5 system function. The total grows as more functions are declared.

What margin does a business “deserve”? If people are willing to pay it, what do you expect to happen?
Re:Surely you have ultra-wideband radios on your bins too? on Sunday October 04, 2026 @03:30AM (#49951520)
I found all of this device, software, and battery management exhausting to the point where it was harder than just remembering if I closed the door or noticed that the cat puked on the carpet overnight. I let it all go and just lived like a normal person and everything got easier.
So, to summarize: he was fired for cause and also assisted cybercriminals.

New suburb housing developments in North America typically use a handful of floorplans that are customized very slightly across many homes specifically so they don’t need hundreds of unique designs
