You and I seem to live in very different worlds

If a far-left activist made an overly non-political game incorporating the work of other leftists, they would catch flak from their own compatriots over betraying their principals for money.

Look, "separating the art from the artist" is all very well, but we can't do that without acknowledging the political views of the artist(s) (especially when the artists are publicly beefing over said views)

I don't know that we can entirely avoid discussing politics in the context of a game where even his publisher felt the need to publicly disavow his political views.

It's also a game that incorporates work from a wide variety of other creators, several of whom made well-publicised statements that they would not have agreed to be a part of this had Blow's current political views been common knowledge at the time.

The more interesting question is whether you can tell the difference between 720p and 4K at the same bitrate. Dividing that bitrate across more pixels usually results in a worse image at the higher resolution.

High-bitrate 720p generally looks better than low-bitrate 4K - it's not uncommon to find that a DVD looks better than the Netflix stream of the same content.

I've administered linux systems with uptime longer than docker has existed. consistency/reliability is perfectly achievable with without modern containerisation

There are a bunch of other heteronyms, but I can't think of others that differ specifically in the plural

Yeah, I kind of figured. I was hoping was AWS-affiliated lab would be a little more rigorous

However, I don't think any of the stated goals lined up with my use case here - in this specific region, we're trying to deal with rapidly warming/drying summers, and I'd be looking for recommendations to help with soil water retention, shade, etc.

I've become very happy with the dirt cheap socialist dentistry here in Spain, that doesn't attempt to fix things that aren't broke...

With this framing, exactly the same thing can be said about libstdc++, for example, so must we also force a full system recompile on every GCC/clang version bump?

This for sure varies from person-to-person, but in my experience day-job programming is a very different kettle of fish to off-the-books coding. There are no Product Managers, no sprints, no meetings, no Jira in my personal projects.

If your day job is mostly heads-down coding, you may not relate, but for me developing something I want to on my own terms provides a break from the stressors of collaboration in a corporate environment
