> 400 distinct syscalls is a very large number of syscalls

And does the number matter? Why can't it be 1000, 2000, 4000. In my opinion the interface is free to be defined as long as it is documented properly.
Doesn't really matter if it has the same name or similar (or identical) function. This website seeks to describe the syscall ABI and that means that each number should get it's own entry.
And there is no identical syscalls in the list, they all have slightly different behavior.
It would be nice to make a banner or warning for deprecated or surpassed syscalls. For example (as mentioned in other comments) you should probably use pipe2 instead of pipe and similar other examples.

We are seeing that there are a lot of players that did stop rewarding the companies as described. The problem is that the signals are not being picked up in these studio's. Partially due to the big divide between critical acclaim vs player reception that we have been seeing in games in the past decade.

You can extend this to the amount of interest in games, casual vs competitive gamers.
This is a funny thing to post after the recently viral video of the McDonalds CEO allegedly not being able to take a bite out of a McDonalds burger without gagging.
Your comparison also doesn't make sense, it's more like the executives of AAA game studio's have never seen or bothered to understand how a game is made. To keep the fastfood analogy perhaps it would be similar to the McDonalds CEO never having cooked or stepped into a kitchen, and would never choose to eat a burger. It's like if the CEO of Warner brothers has never set foot on a set or in Hollywood or even never seen a movie.
I suspect (as the comment from Zeschuk also suggests) most AAA game studio's are run by executives that never played a video game in their lives let alone enjoyed it. And they literately don't know how the sausage is made.
Do you have sources for that?
I see how it could be read as a political coloured article however since you are already "clicking through" you might want to continue clicking to the actual data sources. The takeaway I had from the article is that in any political group people are misjudging the crime rates it is not relevant to the discussion what political ideology is at a higher rate. If you search online there is a wealth of different articles about this topic from multiple political standpoints and different countries where unrest is growing around crime prevention and perception.
It seems the sense of safety is often different from the actual numbers especially when stereotypes are involved as shown in parent comment regarding to e-scooters. To such an extent that there is the phenomenon called the crime decline paradox.

For example the falling of the crime figures could be just because there where more officers around attending the camera's. Or actually that just there being a camera already has a deterring effect, I assume the perpetrators didn't know it was LFR.
I also wonder if the resources spend in a traditional way would have been more effective. I think 3 month trail to make 103 arrests seems a bit low, but I am not familiar with the normal "arrest rate" in that area.
I think the essence of the GPL is trying to solve this issue, the freedoms of that license is focused on keeping software as editable as possible. The idea of malleable software is not new but most "business/industry" software is still very rigid.
One of the more interesting realized concepts of malleable software are the freewheeling apps from Kartik Agaram (https://akkartik.name/freewheeling/). Additionally in my opinion the idea of malleable software is at the core of unix everything is a file and the plan 9 system.

Even the json example provided at the bottom can be minified from 418 characters to 166 by replacing the field names with single characters and removing the spaces. Almost all of the savings in this format come from not including the the field names and having a position dependent layout. You can choose to have delimiters or arrange for a byte to indicate the type(+size) for example the following string encodes the example data almost (85bytes vs 80bytes) as efficient but is still readable and supports utf-8 interpretation.

That is your opinion. Also let's not kid ourselves, No Mans Sky is not a realistic game (you can visit other planets).
The full quote is more nuanced, it describes the idea that for game design you need to be able to explain why something is included in a design (design with intent) "realistic" without further explanation in this context can read like "because we always did it like this". Which is not sufficient.
"You'd have these conversations where you'd be sitting in a design review and somebody [would] say, 'That's not realistic.' And you're like, 'Okay, what does that have? Explain to me why that's interesting.' Because in the real world, I have to write up lists of stuff I have to go to the grocery store to buy. And I have never thought to myself that realism is fun. I go play games to have fun."
Surely there are games that make grocery shopping fun. But they probably don't focus on the realism of grocery shopping, rather they might focus on things that can make the experience fun. Otherwise you might as well just go grocery shopping instead of playing the game.
Simulations that take off often allow you to experience things that you might otherwise not be able to do (flying a airplane, driving a racecar). In that case the fun is in obtaining the unobtainable or without risks (crashing).
Additionally it is against Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of the UN. And Article 20 of the Spanish Constitution.
Actually it is part of the declaration of universal human rights of the UN, article 19 to be specific.
Article 19
Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right
includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive
and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of
frontiers.
I rented a car not an ipad multimedia system, touch screens in cars are totally counter intuitive and often don't have the basic functionally easily accessible. Also usually the ui is laggy.
Also perhaps a hybrid would also fulfill the authors needs?
I do sympathize with the opinion that most new cars are not very attractive. At least to me as a petrol head.

ToS from a lot of tech companies say the wildest shit that doesn't hold up in court and they should get a penalty for putting that into these documents, as it is misleading and misrepresenting the agreement that the customer has with them.
Until some responsibility for illegal statements in the ToS happens I will read most comments from a ToS with a grain of salt and a lot of skepticism.
The invention of photography had a major impact on painting. In the decades
after the first photograph was produced in 1829, photographic processes improved
and became more widely practiced, depriving painting of much of its historic
purpose to provide an accurate record of the observable world.
Additionally there is a huge historical precedence for capturing images, basically for money either through being a painter in someone's service, patronage or working for commission. These painters would work and follow the directions of the commissioner, even though they may not have agreed with it. This is one of the reasons for the English "rectangular livestock" paintings.

In dutch there is a word "broodschilder" (literally bread painter) witch means painter who paints for a living (commercial) / hack painter. In history these painters often where seen as doing a craft in the same way a carpenter works with requirements and requests for the picture, make it happen. Often the painters where not even not able to sign their work (for example religious commission).
