Here's the Onion article covering the news: https://theonion.com/heres-why-i-decided-to-buy-infowars/

It is well worth reading for fans of corporate speak and worshippers at the feet of infinite growth.

Excel functions are translated. This leads to being pretty much locked out of any support beyond documentation if your system language isn't English.

Similarly, VLC names their releases after Discworld characters. It's a fun way to make major versions feel like more than just a number increment.

It might make me smarter, but it makes me feel dumb.

Video games have a very different production flow to film. The same people editing dialog recording are also doing other sound work. The people cleaning mocap also do hand animation. It's not like film where you hit a brick wall for 90% of your crew if your filming isn't on schedule.

Things in the short term are done recording and aren't impacted. Things in the long term can move the resources to other tasks. If a strike goes for six months or a year, they will start seeing issues.

TLDR: The statistics only work if the host has to reveal a goat and offer to let you switch.

In the show the question is based on, the host didn't always open an incorrect door after a guess. He didn't always allow them to switch. He also offered money instead of opening a door at all in some cases. He could use these tools to get the outcome he wanted most of the time.

I've been reading through the books and I'm astounded by just how well the authors have thought through the little details.

I'm also even more impressed with the adaptation to TV now that I've read them. The only thing they weren't able to adapt was the difference in tone and mindset between the perspective characters.

Almost done with the Inaros books, looking forward to the unadapted books.

They are predicting the pixel layout of the user's screen, prerendering the passwords, and then transmitting them as images?!

That's commitment to crisp text rendering!

The article seems to have misunderstood the stats that he provided.

He was showing crashes of a single component of Nvidia drivers while running Warframe. Any crashes within Warframe proper aren't included.

It still demonstrates that a CPU flaw is causing stability issues in areas that are rock-solid for everyone else.

Have you ever heard big cats? They sound like little cats but... deeper. I feel like dinosaurs would sound like birds with similar deepening, depending on the size of the dino.

Yeah, I got most of the way through DoS2 and gave up. Every fight was a giant mess of surfaces. Reducing that makes BG3 far more enjoyable.
