- Comment on Indie dev defends criticism of Steam refund abuse amid review bombing of his game: 'It's wrong to refund a game after having fun with it and completing it' 20 hours ago:
So is Ori and the Blind Forest.

Most of them? Care to provide some examples without the ridiculous “don’t work” hyperbole? Clearly most Sega games were functional, otherwise no one would’ve been playing them.

Now I’m wondering if anyone has ever labeled salt as organic.
- Comment on Well damn. Glad he's dead. 4 weeks ago:
No, I believe it’s just other characters whose original creators are dead offering commiseration.
- Comment on Wait bro, what if?????? 4 weeks ago:
Objects clearly exist. My code loves to complain when they don’t.

They have definitely mixed together different sets of letters.
- Comment on Nope 5 weeks ago:
Not sure if the specifics on the article, but astronomical voids are their own specific thing, not just the vacuum of space.
- Comment on Music just isn't good anymore 5 weeks ago:
They are operating under the assumption that the “best music of your life” that you’re talking about does not have significant overlap with current top hits. If that assumption how true then you may well follow the trend shown when asked to rate hit music.
- Comment on power generator 1 month ago:
Three of your four examples are already outputting mechanical energy of motion so don’t need the intervening conversion step provided by steam.

Wireless controller latency is definitely not so bad for timed hours with visual indicators to be impossible. I’m sure many people played Clair Obscur with wireless controllers just fine.

Stock image libraries are staggeringly comprehensive for having images of {person} in {oddly specific situation}.
- Comment on Close enough 2 months ago:
Alright, this isn’t really the point, but I’ve seen multiple times in the last day people using “f” instead of “ph” for any -phile word. Is there something going on with that, or is this just apophenia?

Artemis II did not contribute sufficient gravitational forces to be relevant.

Best of luck to them, then.

One of the most important aspects of writing is to choose an appropriate style and language for your intended audience. The purpose of an FAQ is typically to address common questions from laypersons, but this is not written in a way that a layperson is inclined to consume.
It’s dense while also being aggressively loquacious. A.1.1 spends over 200 words before it even starts to meaningfully answer the question. Then, after answering the question in about a half a dozen words, continues with a philosophical essay about what hierarchy means. Yes, some questions are nuanced and may need elaboration, but this document goes far beyond elaboration into rambling.
Who is this FAQ for?
On top of this there is a complete lack of page formatting, making it not only stylistically difficult to read, but also tiring as you track lines the entire width of your screen.
If you want to win people over, give them something they might want to read, not something that’s going to discourage them literally the instant they see the page before a single word is even processed.

Literally no one is going to read your one hundred thousand word FAQ.
- Comment on Just the way we likes it. 3 months ago:
After many years of being a developer I’ve come to the conclusion that the single strongest indicator of a person’s competence is how they handle CSV when asked to produce or consume it.
- Comment on Works like 2 out of 7 times 3 months ago:
Being together for a month or less and not only learning that your S.O. is a-okay with being woken up in the middle of the night by manual stimulation but also having the opportunity to do so two or three times seems like an absolutely wild relationship timeline to me.

I’m in my mid-40s and expanded my circle of friends by about a dozen people in the past year or so.
Just go out and do stuff. For me it was getting involved with the local fighting game community.
- Comment on its actually worse bc ports are counted twice for 2.0 & 3.0 3 months ago:
a mobo usually only has 1 USB controller for way more than 15 USB ports though
This is not true for the last… many PC motherboards I’ve used. The USB ports are almost always split between the CPU controller and a chipset controller.
- Comment on Can some please explain to me why it is that your health insurance can deny you medication, even if your doctor says you need it? 4 months ago:
Damn, so five whole days of the Iran war would cover it for a whole month for everyone?
- Comment on The new Voyager game was pretty bad. 4 months ago:
I agree that trading seems largely pointless. I renewed up extremely overpowered in combat when I played on the lowest difficulty. The middle difficult seems a bit more sensible so far, but I haven’t finished my run yet. Been enjoying the game overall though. Can’t say I ever ran into the need to scan planets as a result of an away mission.
They added manual saving in an update a few days ago.

Really depends on the type of mess, I think. If there is a lot of dry crumbs I’d give that a quick brush into the dustpan before spraying and doing the full wipe down. I don’t want to just smear a bunch of wet crumbs around.

Those are type definitions for typescript. The results are completely relevant to your search.
- Comment on Discord will restrict your account next month unless you scan ID or face 4 months ago:
For a while (maybe even still, I haven’t kept up with it) you could unlock paid features with a modded client, so they absolutely have a history of client-side verification.
- Comment on If God had wanted us to have nearly unlimited clean energy, He would have placed a fusion reactor into the sky. 5 months ago:
Unless you really need to optimise for land use. An arbitrarily large solar array in space could transmit to a fairly small collector in the surface.
As for losing power to atmospheric attenuation, high frequency microwaves will pass right through most everything that would scatter visible light. Clouds, dust, etc wouldn’t really impede it.
I won’t say it’s not a silly idea, because it is. It’s fun to think about though.
