They don’t make money on the hardware, but on the games sold.

Selling unlocked console would put them at risk of getting cannibalized by Steam.

Probably, but I won’t touch that shit unless I have no way doing otherwise.

Edit : As an example, I got an “add or update” stored procedure that start line 5, and ends line… 226.

Yeah, you can do pagination, but you need two request : one to select everything, the second to only return the results between id x and id y. Needless to say, the performances are far from ideal.

But in recent version you do skip and take x, which is far easier to write. But my codebase date back to the 2000’s, and it uses the old ways.

As an example, an SQL request to filter on an handful of parameters, and paginate, easily amount to 40-50 lines of SQL. And that’s the easy ones, because some request uses multiple view, in which case I wouldn’t be surprised to find a request doing more than 100 lines of SQL, maybe without even factoring the view in.

I work with a client using an Oracle DB. You have to do multiple request to even do something basic as pagination 😂.

They improved it over the years, but given the choice, I’d advice for anything else than Oracle. I’d even prefer MS Sql, which, given I’m pretty anti-MS, is a miracle.

To rethink something, it would require to think first.

Because heat diffuse at a limited rate. More heat won’t magically make it faster.
Increasing the heat will continue cooking an already heat soaked layer, unable to radiate that heat to the inner layer fast enough.
At best you’ll get an overcooked exterior, at worst a carbonized one. In both case, the inner layer will be barely warm, and raw, of course.

There really is an xkcd for everything 😂

Sound more like you learned the hard way what “abusing the system” mean.

But, think about the capital…

Idk, I still see 256GB Emtec ones for 10€ in my local supermarket.

That a shitty analogy… But a good one.

You are right. But I didn’t mean that as “doing one thing well”, but rather “focussing on a long term objective”.

Depends on the juridictions. Some countries make pedaling mandatory (mine does), other don’t.

Wouldn’t say GOAT, but I sure try to do my work the best I can.

Unfortunately one of the advantages of dictatures is that it move fast in one direction. The main problem being if the leader is intelligent enough to chose the right direction, which they rarely do.

On the other hand, democracies moves slowly, but the damages done by bad leaders are often counterbalanced by the good made by better leaders.

Hey there Road_Warrior_10, good luck with your new game.

I did, I use Lawnchair.

Which is alright. It’s their project after all. I find myself very happy from my Murena Fairphone (except the launcher, which I hate), so I’ll probably be a good Fairphone/Murena client for the years to come.

That’s fair. We all have our needs, and I find mine in Fairphone + e/OS, which is nice. And when I upgrade, I get to give my parents an almost new, still supported phone, which is nice.
