My best friend as a child lived like 4 houses down the cul de sac from us, and I was literally at his house every day.
But still, every day I'd knock and ask if he could play, despite his parents telling me over and over that I could just come inside whenever I wanted.
I mean, I’ve been diagnosed for like 25 years now and I still have to do this.
God damn, I guess there really isn’t such a thing as an original thought.
They should probably also change their name to something that denotes their desire to create a fascist theocracy.
The reason those games are so popular is that they’re inherently exploitative. I have no issues with predatory app developers being priced out of business.
Correct.
It’s hard to care about people who develop games to encourage and monetize on gambling addictions.
That’s the point that’s being made.
One of my wife’s friends just had her trip to Japan delayed by 36h and she just got an email saying she’d have to go through the CTA even though they promised her the money at like 3 separate points.
Goodreads is probably what you’re looking for
A few months ago I was tasked with translating a script from one IBM emulator program to another because the owners of the first program wouldn’t respond to requests to purchase a new license.
The scripting language used on both was unique to the software, and the documentation was basically non-existent. Plus, the script was written over a decade ago, and the guy who wrote it was long gone.
For weeks I banged my head against the wall trying to figure out the logic flow before I realized that it was essentially BASIC, which I haven’t touched in over 20 years.
You’re just trying to get the device into a known good state.
The truth is that it’s rarely worth trying to find the root cause of an issue unless it’s a frequent problem.
Something somewhere went wrong. We don’t know if it’s a hardware or software issue, so we’ll try a solution that covers both.
Powering the device off stops the flow of electricity, and waiting a few seconds makes sure that any capacitors (think of very tiny, very fast batteries) bleed off the power they’ve stored. Then turning it back on makes it go through the full startup process which is likely to result in a working state.
Chevron paid them a lot of money.
I vote that we send him to Greenland and tell him he’s the king now.
Or we could all just move to nano and be less frustrated.
And like the other 10 companies that own pretty much every brand in the country.
Yup. It’s a developmental disorder instead of a mental illness (like autism). Our frontal lobe or prefrontal cortex didn’t develop properly.
I think ADHD is a horrible name for it. Executive Functioning Disorder is a much more accurate name.
