It can be rather helpful for some things but I’ve yet to see any actual data supporting it being “substantially faster”. To make something that works and is of equal quality, that is.
I mean if you’re just making the same slightly different website for different customers or similarly boilerplate stuff, I’m sure it’s substantial. But that’s not really most of dev.
It’s honestly insane that (even as rarely as it’s relevant for a european) this thread is the first I heard of “latine”. All that discourse about latinx and NOW finally I’m being told that there’s been a less stupid attempt at a solution before that. Finally I can stop feeling weird as I’m trying to decide whether to just say latinos as I have no idea what the socially accepted word is in the context I’m in. I can just say latine.
Not how that works. Not how any of that works.
4x8 feet is a whole lot less than 4x8m. That’s less than 1.5x3m if im remembering how long that cursed unit was correctly.
Still not a super small area to just have available, but probably more realistic for many people. I could probably arrange for that in my 40m^2 apartment
4 seems chill, unless whoever the window seat is changes that. There’s also a morbid curiosity to the result of sitting in 6, it might just be entertaining enough to be worth it.
It’s likely not that this attitude results from his politics, but that his politics result from the same views that result in this attitude. It’s a narrow world view, perpetuated by propaganda and the american civil religion (not that this is exclusive to the US, but it sure seems prevalent there).
Ignore him best you can, and do what makes you happy. Not sure if there’s a way to convince him to help you save for it, but if he thinks that murica is the greatest country on earth, it seems unlikely he’d ever support you wanting to leave that - temporarily or permanently.
It’s just p2w with extra steps. Pay to get stronger, or pay someone to play for you to get stronger. When games are designed to either make you play a lot or pay to get stuff to make you stronger, some people will gladly pay to either feel powerful, or just skip enough of the grind that they can focus on what’s fun.
I kind of get it, but at the point where I’d be spending hundreds or make someone play for me, I’d just look for a different game.
HOA plus calling a priest to have the house blessed certainly point in that direction though. But I don’t think that would be legal everywhere even there. Isn’t much use to you though if the neighbour is the kind of psycho to shoot someone over this.
It would need to have an atmosphere, so asteroids and most (all? Idk not an astronomer) moons are out.
Mars might be feasible at some point in the far future, but there’s still the lag problem of 3-20 minutes depending on time of year, so not very useful for anything user facing.
I’ve always acted assuming this to be possible, but it used to require either an unhinged individual or some other reason for a very dedicated investigation. The barrier being potentially that much lower is scary, particularly for anyone with a bit of internet fame that would rather stay anonymous
If they want to be spammed with gdpr takedown requests sure…
You can even have a child be the abuser. One community I’m in had a case of a 13 year old lying about their age and manipulating MULTIPLE older teenagers. People are just complex.
