The other comment said that obviously no solo dev do everything by himself. They must have asset maker or song maker who do all things mostly uncredited. But, here we are, of course there are true solo devs!

With worst case of O(n^2) though? In hindsight it should be possible, since if we use insertion sort, we also get best of O(n) and worst of O(n^2). Though quick select do have average O(n).

Yeah I guess this is a legit problem, but also applies to foreign language warnings. Especially ones who have manual written in foreign glyphs.

Feels like it'd be easier to differentiate jingles compared to different words of a language you don't know. You can vary intonations etc, but by that point you're back to jingles.

There always seems to be a difference between the "normal" stamp collecting biology, and the anatomy/genetics biology. The latter part is always more fascinating to me (and I'm better at it) than the former. In essence, intra-organism biology >> inter-organism biology.

It's unclear to me, why would the compression stroke (the 2nd out of 4) happens? There's nothing pushing the piston upwards.

Any resources? It actually sounds more interesting to me since hearing about Rollback Netcode. Any front-end thing always gives me headache anyway.

The beer part is relatable. I've seen people advising on cutting soda, beer, any sweety beverages. I've only consumed water for years now and here I am. Though i imagine if I do drink those beverages I'd be even bigger.

Yeah I've seen people try to push choice into kids as early as possible, while some students remain in doubt long into adulthood.

My hope is that whatever makes hardware prices go down over last decades would eventually work again now. I guess CPU is a dead end, but why not RAM and storage?

Aaah so scalpers are only as bad as they are because they corner the market. Thanks, I think this is the only reasonable explanation that don't just ignore supply and demand mechanism.

Anglicized Arabic I guess. In my spelling, it is Musa.

Sounds like this is what's still done in last decade Amazon who didn't report profit for so long. Though it's also stopped by another regulatory change that no longer regards S&W dev as R&D for tax purposes, but I don't remember the name.

I've actually heard suggestions to do that, at least.

Heh I never expect to see Demon Girl Next Door in public let alone in HN of all places. Seems like I'll have to see that backstabbed whatever too eventhough I never touched any work of that genre.

In hindsight this is getting truer, what with the push of dumb terminal for everyone

Sometimes I worked in environment that blocks all internet access, but I still need some way to test internal connectivity.

This is why I don't trust libertarians in office. They're incentivised to do a bad job.

There are a lot of ocean, but limited shores. I guess that's the only economical place to build it, but of course it blocks scenery. If people truly built it in open ocean, less people will complain.
