He’s been using that experimental DoD bulletproof spray tan

I’m traveling internationally to visit my fiancé and spend our first Christmas together. I just want the trip to go smoothly and take full advantage of the 120 PTO hours I’m burning without getting an urgent work call.

Yeah that’s a huge part of it. Few Americans (me included) frequently walk outdoors on anything but sidewalks or paved roads in their normal day to day travels. When I go hiking I take those shoes off before I get back into the car, but my daily driver boat shoes which rarely touch actual dirt? I don’t have a problem leaving those on in most places, my house included. Same I imagine for Americans where their job is construction or something where your shoes are dirtied, take the work shoes off when you get home, but it’s fine to wear more casual shoes

Edit: what a strange thing to get downvoted about

Double edit: I guess the first downvotes were just from people who very much don’t like shoes in the house under any circumstances. That’s ok. If I come to your house my shoes will come off. If you come to mine, feel free to leave them on if they aren’t muddy.

Right, I based it on an estimate on the size of the company and how many devs they’ve had. But if a 7MB file doubled their build size and nobody noticed for 5 years, it likely wasn’t code reviewed or committed and rather just added somewhere, It’d be my guess that it’s a pretty small team, and if they’re willing to call anyone at this point anyway as they only have a few devs, and not just remove the file, they’re probably unsure on if it serves any sort of point, which usually would be clear in a commit or PR

You think they’d call up devs who left them just to ask if they happen to know about a random file?

I mean, that’s what op said happened. Literally with the verbiage of “file we found” and not “file you committed”

Ah I could see that. I took it as them not knowing where the file came from at all, so they’re just asking all the devs who would have had access at that point, which is why it was “hey do you know anything about this file?” and not “is there a specific reason you committed this file to the build?”

It sounds like they weren’t using any form of version control, so that’s definitely on them at this point

True, I guess my experience was moreso “we can legally sell out whenever.”

For a long time I used mediatemple for their affordability, flexibility, and scalability

Then they were acquired by godaddy

Then I used webfaction, for the same reasons. They too were acquired by godaddy

Many of the devs from web faction built opalstack, which I love

But I definitely won’t expect their terms to remain the same forever

and you can expect the terms to stay the same forever

Bit of a reach, but I agree with your other points

That’s what I love about the game. It took them awhile to get there, but kamikaze ninja? Fun build. Pure netrunner? Fun build. Armored ballistic assault? Fun build. Hybrid between any of the builds? Also fun. The combat feels great no matter which route you take

I feel like that’s what a netrunner build in CP2077 is. Sure, it’s not psi ops, but it’s basically magic brain spell attacks

Austria!? Well then, G’day mate! Let’s put another shrimp on the barbie

Even that’s just a monetary decision. They are choosing not to spend money to build a custom “premium” experience for paying customers and instead just stripping ads, keeping the existing engagement/monetization driven UI in place. A customized UI takes more dev time, costs more in engineering labor, etc

And all of those come down to money

Search shows you random videos because “the algorithm” is hoping to drive you through to videos that are the most monetized and the most likely to keep you on the platform based on their data

The shorts thing is because they can pack more ads into 15 second bits of content while using less bandwidth and they’re hoping to hijack your attention with an “endless stream” of short clips a la TikTok or instagram reels

The video bandwidth drops to low every time because they’re hoping people will still watch, see the ads, and not bump the quality up, saving Google on bandwidth costs

The live streams thing is just more advertising revenue again

Embedded into cheap food that then becomes an ad in your toilet. But for a “pro” subscription you can shit without ads

Throw it in a pot, add some broth, a potato. Baby you’ve got a stew going

Yeah it muddles with searching for answers, especially when the names are common things. Apple can get away with naming macOS on places in California, but it’s going to be tough searching “having trouble posting comments on Thor” or whatever. The naming scheme can work, but it has to be very unique
