Reminds me of a time where I shortened the code for pointers in c++ at age 15, so quite old, and my teacher said it wouldn’t work (we didn’t have computers in that class, next class we would type the code and execute it in computer lab). Anyway I said it’d work, he said it would never work, I said well we can test it next class and teacher said we can’t waste time in computer lab like that, and I said I will ask principal for extratime in computer lab after school to prove that my code works. I got sent to principals office anyway for rude and unruley behavior and not only did I get scolded for trying to embarrass my teacher, I wasn’t granted extra time in the lab either. Next time in lab I managed to write the shorter code and get same results and I called teacher to show my code works, he just unplugged the cable and sent me to principals office again.
Luckily this time they called my parents and my mom unleashed hell on them threatening with talking to press and media and name and shame the teacher and principal for being stupider than a student is when they stopped harassing me.
And I quit paying attention in that class, I got bad marks for low class participation but hey I had already stopped giving fucks at that point.

I don’t know who is downvoting you, but release fast at cost of quality definitely makes the problem worse. Because people keep buying half baked unfinished games.
- Comment on Anon turns on raytracing 2 weeks ago:
I remeber reading the real sell to developers is less calculations, currently textures have to be designed for different lightening, which would require pre rendering same textures across multiple lightings. And that is time and resource intensive for developers.
Ray tracing is a simpler solution. I’m not an expert, but that seemed sensible to me.

Well, I have had two people tell me very rudely that I’m an asshole because I got their pronoun wrong because they had it at the start of the presentation somewhere. And I also have had dozens more who corrected me a couple of times and then I’d just remember the right pronouns.
Assholes are assholes magrinalized or not.

Depends on how you define white then, is it just skin color? Maybe you’re right, but I know plenty of Brazilians that are indistinguishable from white people. We can’t call them less Brazilian because they’re fairer than the averagei guess real crime is choosing entire cast that is fairer than average and the show being promoted about average people.

This has to be one of the most specific memes that I have had the honor of sharing with that one specific group of friends.
I think that should be correct, but again English is not my first language.
Funny meme.

Key is standardisation, we should all move to li-ion but not at the cost of random shapes and non-swappable. Everything should have similar 3-4 form factor batteries and easily replaceable. Also the charging connector, everything should have USB c, barrel connector should be banned or be forced to just use one single size
