  Because Python wants you to read it like English: English:

  x is “foo” if y is greater than 5, else it is “bar”

  Easily solved by using Rust and have literally anything evaluate your expression and return whatever

  Which, tbf, gives you the amout you pay back in ingame currency, of which you will need at least some if you want to trade stuff / the MMO experience

  It’s okay. As the other comments pointed out, it kinda feels like a really cool tech demo. Lots of systems to look at, but everything is disconnected. That’s what makes the game feel shallow. You can completely ignore most stuff without any consequence

  I was about to say, I put 2000 hours in League of Legends and I’m not sure whether I enjoyed that either :D

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No Man's Sky: Voyagers update releases today, introduces customizable "colossal, fully furnished, completely bespoke Corvette-class starships"⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I really don’t know what to think about this game. It definitely has come a long way, but to this day, it feels… Shallow.

  It’s a sandbox game where building, crafting and trading are not great, not terrible. It’s also an adventure game, but the story is overall very predictable and combat is again, not great, not terrible. It’s a multiplayer game, except no, not really, since you don’t share quest progesss and almost never meet random people (if you aren’t close to the center of the galaxy).

  I’m about 200h into it and still can’t tell you if I like it or if it just keeps me busy. I have high hopes for Light No Fire tho.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UltraRAM scaled for volume production — memory that promises DRAM-like speeds, 4,000x the durability of NAND, and data retention for up to a thousand years, is now ready for manufacturing⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  RAM = accessible anywhere (very simply put) D = Dynamic = loses data if power is gone

  This is NVRAM tech, NV standing for ‘non volatile’. That means it keeps the data if power is lost. You only need to re-write if you read that data. There is probably a hardwired option to do this immediately, perhaps even capacitors to ensure this goes through even if you happen to lose power that very moment.

  Consumes extra energy, may add some latency to reads, but there’s more to being fast and non-volatile at the same time. May be wort it, may be not.

  Oh, sorry, yes I mean a microwave + convection oven combo. Didn’t know how to translate that properly. My mom got one and it’s basically an air frier, a microwave and a mini-oven in one. Pretty cool stuff

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In the Future All Food Will Be Cooked in a Microwave, and if You Can’t Deal With That Then You Need to Get Out of the Kitchen⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Ingl, a microwave oven with air circulation is pretty neat. That last part is important tho

  The trees on the left are strangely offset upwards, there is a line down the windshield which I have never seen on a bus like that, the bus also does not have a door at the front, which they typically do, and to a lesser degree that yellow looks like it belongs to a school bus, while this clearly isn’t one

  Not enough sales data from Nintendo’s little experiment yet. Don’t hold your breath, ‘this stage’ won’t last.

  Uhm, excuse me, but I don’t think the 5060 qualifies as “high-end”. I’m not saying that matching it is not an achievement, but that headline is weird at best

  No analytics scripts show up that’s true, but they explicitly claim the right to use it in their privacy statement.

  Great idea, immediatly tarnished by using third party tracking tools (Google Analytics).

  I know everyone loves to hate Ubisoft, but this is quite the common term. Also it only even applies when the agreement is terminated, I don’t even know how that would look like. I have never heard about a usage agreement being terminated, unless you yourself violate it (e.g. get banned for cheating).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Beaches⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You wish they were like this, but in addition you are supposed to strongly look biologically male / female depending on what’s in your pants and only wear pants / dresses accordingly. Also please behave like they expect to and only like in bed who and what they allow you. And also please share their religion and fuck what science has to say about your sex.

  Of course you can - if an adequate share of that money goes to the devs, the only issue is the money that doesn’t go to the devs. And they very likely don’t have much control over that money
