Which is true because people already have large Steam game libraries. I barely game anymore but I must have 3000 games in Steam.
Epic is gnawing at the lead, at least with me, as they give out a free game every week. I must have 300 games in Epic - I've even paid for a few.
I'm a parent to 11/7 year olds, and just yesterday we were talking about how dangerous and addictive gambling is. If you ask them about gambling they will say "it's for stupid people". I doubt it's super common but I'm sure others are doing it if I am.
Microsoft at the very least didn't fire these developers and didn't convince them to not work on DirectX. Someone at Microsoft gets the credit, even if it's not upper management.
Implicit bias is real and there are ways to mitigate some of it. More process driven interview frameworks, less 'he seem like me so he probably good'.
You could decide to work an office job?

But does it really matter? If Covid is 10% likely to kill you, and the shot is 9% likely to kill you, you'd still get the shot.
Your country gets punished for trying to do the right thing.
Just like some jobs are now hiring in "any state but Colorado", since if they hire in Colorado they have to post salary on the job description.
Lots of developers (especially newer ones) seem to think code is "utter shit" when it really is written that way for a reason. At least I've seen this pattern many times, and used to do it myself decades ago.
Have either of you ever used a XPS camera? They are terrrrrible.
At least it is somebody with a big title. Chief Technical Pilot.
Right, and at that point you should be using some sort of NoSQL anyway.
Neat. I use HxD for such a purpose.
Sublime will barf if the file gets big enough too. In that case use something like HxD
This guy spoke at my software company a few months ago and everybody was so inspired. Jeesh.
You buy bitcoin and don't care at all about how much it is valued at? I call malarkey.
Just FYI, those 3 heroes didn't die right away like it hinted in the show. They lived normalish lives.

Appreciate your wisdom on this.
This is one of the few apps that can open/edit gigabyte files on MacOS without choking.
