If the email is from a legitimate business, they must have an unsubscribe button and it has to work. They get a little time before they are required to process the request, 10 days in the US, but I’ve usually seen it take effect immediately.

Don’t click the unsubscribe button in an actual spam email.

If you turn the disc over, you can actually count the rings without needing to cut into it! This lets you skip having to glue the disc back together after checking the age.

I thought about mentioning that, but sometimes one of the buttons in Fallout do lead to extra dialogue. Couldn’t figure out how to put the difference into words. But I feel like I’m wasting my time when I try to get extra dialogue out of a Fallout 4 npc.

The Bioware games have always made me skeptical of the argument that voiced dialogue is what made Fallout 4 choices so bland. The choices they made after deciding to go with a voiced protagonist is what made it bland.

The choices in Fallout 4 are like if the designer had just heard in passing that games like Mass Effect had a choice wheel. The only detail they successfully copied was not having the dialogue always match the option you chose. Bioware games gave you more options (6 in this screenshot of Mass Effect I’m looking at), wasn’t as clunky to use, and the options weren’t as transparently meaningless.

I had to do this to get the factory oil filter off my motorcycle. Went through 3 different oil filter removal tools and all I achieved was rounding off all the edges of the filter.

Retailers do it because they pay a penalty when a chargeback happens and payment processors will cut ties with them if their fraud rate is too high.

If the APIs are meant for public consumption, requiring feature parity makes a lot of sense. But when it’s for internal use by your own developers, waiting means you are making a bunch of new API endpoints no one will ever use. People will write more and more code using the older endpoints and those endpoints will start getting changes that your new ones will need ported over.

I think if you are going to force people to use new endpoints, you’ll need them to either write the endpoints themselves or have a team member who can write it for them and account for this while planning. If getting a new endpoint requires putting in a JIRA ticket with a separate backend team, 4 planning meetings, and a month wait, people are just going to stick with what currently exists.

It was basically the same thing. In the code base, there was only v3 and v4. I never bothered to check what happened to v1 and v2, but I suspect they were used in an older, archived code base.

He’s running both the hospital and the insurance company. And it’s apparently good quality insurance, so they aren’t skimping on his treatment. There’s no way both the hospital and the insurance company can be profiting from this guy getting all the bones in his body broken. Not at the same time.

Job posting requirements are done by a game of telephone where each person down the line is less technical than the previous.

A manager is able to hire a mid-level engineer, which their company defines as 4+ years of experience. An engineer tells the manager what technologies they use, bringing up fastAPI at some point. The manager then gives this list to someone who writes up the job posting who just puts ‘requires 4+ years’ on every bullet.

Nearly every job posting that asks for more experience than is possible or for something weirdly specific happens this way.

In my experience, having to write new v2 (or in my case v4) endpoints for most new features was expected.

The 21 year old is a separate person.

I have my Final Fantasy X still, even used it when I played the remastered version recently. It didn’t ask me to use the website for anything. I thought it was the Final Fantasy IX guide that required you to use PlayOnline for the actual solutions.

They have the mana to cast Teferi’s protection though. The gun can’t do much if the person’s life total can’t change.

The thing that got me was the lighting. I’ve been camping and you just can’t get a good photo of your tent fire. Not as well lit as this at least.

Men can generally do more power moves than women because of a difference in upper body strength. This makes it tough to have mixed gender head-to-head competitions. B-girls using power moves at all is a rather recent development to the scene.

B-boy and B-girl is the term breakers like, so I would expect them to fight hard against changing that.

This is the first time in a year that I’ve seen someone do an “Umm actually, water isn’t wet.” I had hoped we had left that behind after leaving Reddit.

DJI and an independent source both told us

That part of the article is talking about multiplayer. A lot of games use the cloud for multiplayer.

It doesn’t mention requiring cloud for single player.

You can’t just ignore the second part of that sentence which gives the right to make commits to all citizens of earth. That would include the person who wrote the last commit.
