It’s because the showrunners of The Pitt worked on E.R and were in talks with Crichton’s widow to make a sequel, but the network didn’t want to pay the royalties she was asking for. So they pivoted to making an original medical drama that was very similar to E.R, hence her suing them.
It looks like it might be possible to target wasm (at least GPUI can), so hopefully Discord won’t kill their web client.
If I have to use it, I’d much rather run their software in a sandboxed environment like a web browser than install a program that can then do whatever it wants with my user data.
It’s not a common term outside its niche. If you’re not in the industry, you’ll mostly see it used in pull request reviews by people who have professional backgrounds. Looks like it actually originated with Google.
“Looks good to me.” It’s a standard phrase used when signing off on changes.
It’s that goddamned monkey’s paw again.
Many cities have public transit in the form of busses and/or subway systems, but regular street traffic still exists and car ownership has so much cultural inertia that it’ll probably take decades to wean people off of them.
However, that doesn’t mean we should refuse to improve cars in the meantime just because they’re not the transport solution we’d prefer.
I remember watching a video showing how increased reaction speed can virtually eliminate traffic jams (I believe it was this one?). It’d require nearly all vehicles to be automated, but someday city traffic might flow smoothly even during the busiest of rush hours.
Someone vibe-coded a mod that turns the whole game first person.
I actually agree on Metal Max. I think I mostly like it because of SSH’s metal covers way back in the day. Not my style of music anymore, but I must have listened to that on repeat hundreds of times when I was younger.
That and the track was in this ancient SNES medley, which is also where I first discovered Romancing SaGa!
Romancing SaGa isn’t nearly as famous as other JRPG franchises like Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest, which is a shame since the series has some absolute bangers in its soundtrack.
Metal Max is another one, though arguably it only has one memorable track that they remade and reused for every game.
Don’t forget Lullaby of the Manifold! It’s simple but it’s one of my favorites.
They go insanely hard with their music. They even made an entire fake nineties boy band for one of their questlines that sounds so authentic it’s scary.
Student projects such as note-taking apps and PDF viewers
Are PDF viewers a common student project? I always assumed the file standard must be a labyrinthine mess given all the features they’ve crammed into it over the years. Or is there some popular library that takes 99% of the work out of it?
Have you seen their RAM requirements? The AI is very fat indeed.
I’m still salty about Introversion selling Prison Architect to Paradox. It went from a stable, well-designed colony sim with everything included out-of-the-box to a buggy piece of crap with a dozen equally buggy DLC packs, half of which didn’t even fit the game’s theme.
