There is even a Murphy's Computer Law for that:

Meskimen's Law: There is never time to do it right, but there always time to do it over.

I'm out of the loop on the bash 4 license change. What changed?

Thanks for the tip about homebrew still supporting bash.

What part of "Whether they accept it is up to them." do you not understand???

Either party is free to cross out whatever terms they don't want on a contract. The other party is under no obligation to accept. If the terms are reasonable then they will accept. If not then they won't.

> Otherwise I would cross out the APR on a loan agreement and just write in whatever the fuck I wanted.

Tell me you know nothing about mutual assent without telling me you know nothing about mutual assent. /s

You CAN write whatever you want but good luck getting them to accept an "unreasonable" offer.

I did exactly this this for one job that tried to claim all MY past inventions on MY own time was theirs. I crossed that section out, initialed it, and they never batted an eye.

Maybe you should review what a contract is...

Just because YOU can't tell the difference between 120 FPS and 60 FPS does NOT mean 60 FPS is "fine". For me 120 is silky smooth, 60 is NOT. Instead of speaking for everyone you should ONLY be speaking for yourself: "I found 60Hz is perfectly fine for most gaming but YMMV."

The sweet spot is around ~100 Hz when decreasing returns kicks in. I discovered this back in the late 90's when I had a CRT monitor and noticed that when looking at it from the corner of my eye it would flicker at 60 Hz but not at 100 Hz. Today when I game I instantly notice micro-stuttering when the FPS drops from 120 FPS down to 60 FPS for a single frame.

Have you even tried VR?? Good VR requires 96+ Hz to stop people from getting motion sickness. This meme that "30 FPS" or "60 FPS" is fine needs to die in a fire.

As a professional graphics programmer mod parent as complete nonsense.

> LLM AI like GPT can evolve into AGI

From whose ass did you pull this assumption out of??

LLM is a glorified table lookup. It has ZERO understanding. It predicts what should come next, that's it.

There is a HUGE jump to AGI.

Win10 was released in 2015. What were people supposed to do for FIVE YEARS when MS finally got a clue stick??

Stop being a dumb M$ shill.

> some people thought Episodes 1-3 were good. They were not.

Yup, especially Episode 1. RLM (Red Letter Media) got kind of famous for pointing out how shit Episode 1 was aka Mr. Plinkett's Star Wars Review.

Looks like a programmer didn't read Falsehoods programmers believe about time

Did their manager want the code shipped before it was adequately tested?

Mod parent -1 clueless / stupid.

Some of us actually run calculations that take days to complete. Win10 interferes with that. Windows 7 didn't.

> Kids are neither valuable nor interesting.

Did you miss the ENTIRE last ~100 years of propaganda such as Tobacco companies targeting young women, exploiting children developers, blatant product placment, the hyper commercialization of toys such as May the Fourth ???

Kids are a HUGE untapped market because kids nag their parents to buy over-priced garbage.

Why does anyone doe business with China?

Money.

> Exclusives are important in the console world.

Artificially splitting your potential customers is myopic and idiotic.

Artificial FOMO is only important to the finance department and dumb fan boys who get into stupid debates over which console is better. (Hint: They are BOTH low-end PCs at this point.) Every one else just waits for the game to be available on Desktop and/or the other console.

There is a reason why simcades like Scam Turismo, I mean Gran Turismo 7, aren't available on desktop. Because Polyphony Digital couldn't compete in that space. Exclusives are used to prop up an archaic business from dumb gamers who don't know any better.

Microsoft is actually doing something smart by releasing Forza Horizon 4 and Forza Horizon 5 on both desktop and Xbox. Those who want to play, regardless if they own a console or desktop (or both) can just play. That is putting the customer first not this bullshit of artificial scarcity.

Although in Nintendo's case they are laughing all the way to the bank with every new release of Zelda and Mario. Nintendo was actually smart back in the Wii days -- they didn't get into a pissing contest like Microsoft and Sony over hardware so Nintendo makes more money on their older hardware because they know their software drives their hardware sales.

I own a PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4, Xbox (Original), Xbox 360, and Xbox One. I have zero interesting in buying yet-another-archaic low-end PC when consoles don't have any advantages anymore.
