The same reason a dam owner panics over a finger sized leak. A hole becomes a crack, a crack a breach, and a breach can collapse the whole dam.

A while here too.
I remember earth gov went ever more extremist in a right wing direction. Babylon 5 ended up declaring independence, and later led a coalition to liberate the people of earth.


It might also be a single dev who pushed for it. With only a 1-3% market share, the company is unlikely to push resources at it. That 1 dev getting any working version out is a win in many ways.
Also, most Linux users are a lot better trained at reporting bugs. Most of the time, this is a good thing, letting them get fixed in FOSS development setups. Unfortunately, in gaming, it ends up making Linux look a buggy mess. When 60% of your big reports come from 0.5% of your users, companies can panic. Even if the same bugs exist in windows, just no one bothers to report them.


To anyone who’s seen it, the spoiler definitely counts as a mild /s


The series Expeditionary Force" by Craig Alanson actually plays on this.
Spoiler to protect those who might want to read the series.
The AI Skippy, (that has befriended humanity/adopted us like puppies) upgrades the weapon systems on a captured ship. Joe Bishop, the captin of said ship, gets involved to deal with a strike by the onboard missiles. They are complete homicidal maniacs, and are actually fine with blowing up, they just want the pecking order/first dibs on targets sorted out, along with entertainment rights while waiting (karaoke night invites, from memory).
And no, after dealing with their bullshit, Joe has no issues turning the weapons into his enemies problems, very energeticly.
We do, light travels 1 lightsecond per second.
Oh, and 1 lightpicosecond is around 2.998mm.
100 lightpicoseconds is also very close to 1’.


While there are a lot of parenting books, it’s only in the last few years that it has been properly studied, scientifically. My generation of parents is one of the first to be able to truly make use of the advancements.
Basically, it wasn’t that handbooks didn’t exist (when the episode was made), but that they contradicted each other.


What genres are you looking in?
For building games, factorio, or satisfactory absolutely blow away anything from yesteryear. There are similar games in many genres.
It’s worth noting that some genres saturated a while back. FPS type games have been optimised to the limits for a while. It’s difficult to make something new and interesting in that environment.
It’s also worth noting that shovelware production has been industrialised, particularly in mobile gaming. Companies pump out mass numbers of games, that are basically reskins of each other. They are entirely focused on $$$ rather than making good games. They are predatory to the extreme, and water down the market further in the areas they attack.


It’s definitely a product of its time. Some of the humour has become a bit dated, but it still holds up well, as a low budget production.
Given what it does, it eating you might be considered more humane! But no, is the fuck you, I just want to cause pain tree.

Mine has a loft conversion, with a proper floor. The insulation sits between the roof and the ceiling. So…no.
Fully agree with that. Tesla got thoroughly screwed over.
He could give lectures, but the computer massively slowed conversations. He also apparently had a bit of a temper. Some of his colleagues took to wearing steel toe cap shoes because of him (electric wheelchairs are heavy).
Apparently he didn’t trust patents etc. He would come up with fanciful ideas, that sounded vaguely plausible, as cover for what he was actually working on.
At this point picking apart the Good, the bad and the cover is an …interesting exercise.


That’s why most poker players use static probabilities. It gets even worse when there uncertainty involved. E.g. your 40% sure a player had an AK before folding. Along with an 80% they didn’t have a spade.
The Human mind is incredibly good at doing calculations like this. Unfortunately it has to be learnt, and is in the form of “feels” rather than actionable probabilities.


It does, but not in the way it does in blackjack.
Basically, if you can guess at the cards people have thrown away, you can update your probability map of what is likely to come out.
Most players use a fixed mapping for calculation, since it gets maths heavy. Data could do it in real time and gain a small edge.
He could also correlate betting patterns with historical plays to estimate hands. All good players do this, but data would be excellent at it.


I know kitten space agency is being developed. I’m not sure how much of the original KSP team is involved with it. I suspect they are carefully skirting copyright laws on that front.


Ksp2 was far worse.


I’ve done that more than a few times. It also includes “how to be a good husband, while being a fun dad” along with specific examples for both parents and children.
The hand touching, to get attention, without interrupting was a life (sanity) saver.
I second the wired camera recommendation, at least for a few critical cameras.
WiFi cameras are vulnerable to a de-auth attack. It’s fairly trivial now to make a device that will kick all WiFi devices off of a particular network. It’s not so bad if they record internally and are inaccessible. If they can be reached, once someone is inside, or if they don’t record, they can be bypassed completely, or stolen.
This does all depend on the level of protection required. Basically, are you worth the effort of targeting, or is it just to dissuade opportunistic attempts.
