Candy Crush is probably the majority of that.
I think they are just saying MS will rush out yet more Halo games, ie Halo 14, Halo 15, etc
As someone who works in big tech with a partner at a similar big tech company _but with player coaches, DRIs, etc_ it is basically the same thing except messier. Your manager who used to just focus on motivating and…
Because most people in tech never took a philosophy course or an ethics course and think that tech is obviously a good for the world and that there are no downsides to advancing tech. So any efforts that try to apply…
Just a Jack Dorsey thing. He writes all of his communications like that.
Not everyone is at a point where they are greenfield picking a language for a new project. Sorbet was built by a large organization (Stripe IIRC) and is used effectively by organizations with large Rails codebases. I…
Setting reasonable minimum wages would take care of citizens without a patchwork of programs being needed.
Low-end jobs aren’t non-existent. The EU still has people working at fast food joints. But the EU mandates paying those people a reasonable amount of money. The US is much more guilty of forcing people in low-end jobs…
Are they forced in? I thought they were given a choice of pursuing a treatment program funded by the state, or getting a more conventional punishment such as jail time.
I believe the above post is quoting Spotify, not making a guess.
> Could the US do better? Yes. That is like comparing a toddler to Usain Bolt in a race and saying the toddler could have done better. The US isn’t even trying to manage any money from its resources in a way that…
Lots of American Exceptionalism in this comment and the replies. The Norwegian state makes so much money off of oil because of how well they manage the revenues. The US could do the same thing but chooses not to. The…
My understanding is that the various unions view Tesla’s actions as a threat to how labour works in Sweden. There apparently isn’t even a minimum wage in the country as everything is governed by these collective…
I think the Canada thing was an honest oversight. The party in power isn’t even a right wing party. Pretty centrist. They don’t have any motivation to shift the overton window in the “maybe we’re okay with Nazis now?”…
There is a lot of research going into making kidneys without the markers that cause rejection. They hope to make pig kidneys compatible with human transplantation this way.
> Anyone getting hired by an American company is looking to immigrate. That simply isn’t true.
Canadians simply make less. At a large, well-known company my partner works for they can trade one US req for two Canadian reqs. TBH I don’t know why some places even bother hiring American devs. Canucks are half-priced…
I think AI will be less like the Industrial Revolution and more like a country finding large oil reserves. Countries with strong social institutions like Norway do an amazing job of distributing the gains from finding…

Gigging with a 24” kick drum is something I will never do
I played professionally while driving a Camry! A 20” kick drum and a mic for it is all you need, and that fits in the back seat of a Camry. Everything else can go in the trunk, at least with a reasonably-sized kit.
I swear by the Glyn Johns technique if you need something relatively simple! https://musictech.com/tutorials/technique-of-the-week-glyn-j...
The drums themselves get to a point where it is diminishing returns on sound as you get more expensive. But you can always get another cymbal to fill a niche!
Wood vs Metal snare drums sound way different even with the same heads on them. There is definitely a difference from the construction of the shell. (I left a comment higher up too but snare drums are just so obviously…
I am a former pro drummer (now a programmer which is why I hang out here) The wood definitely matters. Beginner kits are usually made out of poplar and even with good heads and tuning they just sound bad compared to a…
