Most people don’t know the difference, as made clear by the reactions of the public, comments on other social platforms, and the wording of the articles. So it’s just as powerful as it was.

No backend database needed for what they did. It was just highlighting where the faces are in a shot of the crowd, same as modern smartphone cameras do, but with a surveillance-type UI around it.

I think it’s clear by the end of Ender’s Game that Ender was never the main character (his realization of that drives a lot of his character development in the following books). And Bean is not really the main character in that part of the story either, just someone much smarter who better understands what’s going on and who the real players are.

I have both Epic and GOG copies from two different free offers and played it a bunch, but could never finish it. I enjoy the atmosphere and the story, but the fights got repetitive and difficult (not in a good way). I stopped at some boss fight, then later decided to pick it up again and eventually stopped at another artificial roadblock.

As long as it’s got an e-ink screen, it’s already an upgrade vs reading on a phone or tablet.

You know what, I’m going to say that’s the right word in this context.

Some of these, despite being great movies, are a very hard watch for someone seeing them for the first time in 2025 if they’re not a hard-core movie buff.

I saw it when it came out and still remember every scene. I completely forgot episodes 2 and 3 to the point that I thought I never actually saw them. So I watched them and realized, oh yeah, I did see them before. And then forgot them again.

I decided not to comment on “complement”, but now I think you’re doing this on purpose.

Maybe this will help you understand what’s going on here https://xkcd.com/566/

Speaking as someone whose native language uses phonetic writing, it simply makes sense. You just write what you say. Yes, some people talk differently, and because the writing is phonetic you can easily capture that in writing and you have multiple spellings for the same word in the dictionary (some marked as regionalisms). And as pronunciation of certain words shifts in time, so does the spelling. When more and more people start writing the word as it sounds, instead of the “correct” spelling, the new version gets added to the dictionary.

To be fair, that’s usually the fastest option to fix other people’s code even if it wasn’t vibe coded. Sometimes that’s the best way to fix your own code too.

I was paying $3,300/mo rent back in 2020. Got a mortgage at the low rates of 2021 and got a $2,800 monthly rate. So it seems like it’s cheaper. But once I add the property tax (~$1,000/mo), HOA ($500), home insurance (~$300), it’s not at all cheaper to own than to rent. Plus paying for maintenance on our own (had to replace both the fridge and the washing machine in the time since we moved) adds up too. Not saying it was better to rent, but it was definitely cheaper.

That’s just for the “paid on time” section of your report. It helps a bit with your score, but it doesn’t change how banks determine your debt to income ratio.

If it’s used for surveying, aren’t those survey feet? (a survey foot is 1.000002 US customary feet). Dividing a survey foot by 12 would not be technically an inch, even though it’s only a couple millionths off.

Yes, calling the yard a knockoff of the meter would be kind of funny, especially since it predates it by about a thousand years. And calling the cun a knockoff of the inch is similar, since it predates that by another thousand years.
