Your points are well intended but irrelevant to the article. This is a breakthrough for plastic bottles that has the effect of reducing company cost and environment impact; even if the company agreed with your points, following them would lead to a bankruptcy.

I have not yet read the article, but I initially understood that the thickness of the bottles, and thus plastic used, has decreased. This would be a win for use-and-trash water bottles like for restaurants or tourist spots, because it would reduce pricing and pollution.

Metaphor: ReFantazio.

Well, the demo honestly, which is relatively long. The game is releasing in a week! It runs relatively okay on the Deck while locked at 30fps.

Like if(true) but with side effects.

That's the origin of the hate: addiction to meds.

My company pays it for me. My use cases are split between new development, refactoring and debugging.

For new code, given that our code base is proprietary but very extensive, it provides nice code snippets that would be a pain to write by hand (it's mostly C code) such as test code

I can focus on the concepts and have the autocomplete do the rest for me. I swap keypresses for reviewing code, which is not bad.

For refactoring, I seldom use it because I haven't found an use case for it. Most of the changes involve moving code around, adding glue or deleting dead code.

For debugging, I sometimes use the chat to get documentation on public APIs from Microsoft or other places. I use this documentation to check for invariants and to reduce the scope of what I'm trying to find out.

While PDX-published games may suffer from the decouplement of features between DLCs, at the very least PDS-developed games have a built-up expertise when it comes to managing this.

As for MMO model, it's a hard sell because purchased things get made "free" for new comers. It's one of the crux that EU4 faced when they rolled many DLC features into the base game.

My washing machine has a wheel to select multiple, heat-specific programs but also has a "cold" switch for other programs. I seldom use the heat specific ones, unless I'm particularly interested in a hot wash.

So I guess that the mileage may vary by country (I'm in Spain) and how old a washing machine is (mine is quite old).

There are other countries that also rely on Amazon services. Mationalizing the company would be a major diplomatic and economic blow to the USA.

I played Dota games circa 2010, and I was decent. My most preferred game was Heroes of the Storm because it felt more streamlined and team based than Dota, and this has caused me to lose so many skills like lane control (kills/denials) and item management.

Is there any way of getting those skills back? Any resources where it may explain each role (carry, ganker, etc) with a few characters in detail? Any game I've played in turbo or otherwise has resulted in showing my incompetence 😂

At some point you learn to cope. "esta mañana", "el día de mañana", "mañana por la mañana"...

Spanish has two: de día roughly "by daytime" and un dia exactly "a day".
