It's still a binary from a stranger. You don't know from which source it was built.
So I should take a binary from a random stranger because trust me bro?
That was a good read. The furry blog post read like a smear campaign. Extraordinary unprofessional.
I suspect there are links to some really bad shit in there. Google is probably in damage control mode.
Gate checking and forced gate checking are very, very different things.
Are they all public? Where can I see them?
I think the tradition is someone else's pocket in some other country.
Nonsense. Each are in their own namespace. You can't expect something as debatable as color names to share the same values in different namespaces.

The Boing game doesn't work mobile, is that by design?
The line between an inspiration and plagiarism is perhaps sometimes blurry but there's definitely a line.

But you have to steal something, themes at least if you want to create a piece in a style.

Trying composing a blues song without any "stealing".

> cutting traces is definitely crossing some lines.

Pun intended I'm sure!

You'd be surprised how many ways there are to make storage containers. Gridfinity is one of them.

Sections of Reddit and Twitter have been taken over by incredibly toxic cesspit of bots. They fuel polarization and hate like nothing I've ever seen before.

It's catered for the algorithm which pumps it out to users.

This will be discussed in the next standup and everyone has to have an opinion. We'll need approval from legal and that takes at least a week so we want to minimise ping pong emails.

But it should be fairly quick, expect an updated version around end of summer or just after.

I'm surprised they do this. The unity rugpull is still fresh in memory and mystery pricing is scary for newcomers.

Websites aren't art. They can be, just like this comment can be art. Especially if I add a fancy made up word to it. Forthedolomaznia.

I've done that too. Especially if I have to stop working, but I'm in the middle of something. There are no compilation errors or tests failing but the feature isn't completed.

Introducing a syntax error is like a saved game, portal back in time. I'll come back to it tomorrow and it'll take me max one minute to reload the context into my brain.

This is why "Google is burying the web alive".

Most websites in your search results are using SEO to trick you there, give you a slither of information then try to shell you their shit.

Google might be at the helm of the web's death journy to hell, but corporations and merchants are the crew onboard.

Of course. He was neither saying or offering that though.

For the record, 3 meters are more like 10ft.

If you weren't asked for patronising advice you probably shouldn't offer it.
Bug found by you, the developer vs. user in production? Easily 100x.

I'm pretty sure the lore says that a solemn promise from Google carries the exact same value as a prostitute saying she likes you.

It doesn't come with any lucrative extortion options to squeeze millions out of enterprises.
