Oh, you absolutely can; maybe not as a matter of formal policy, but if you are a hiring manager or a member of an interview team, you have wide latitude to have concerns about nearly anything (legal) about a candidate. And also, even if you don't use that explicitly, it can affect your judgement of them when discussing them to an interview committee.

"correct" is certainly not the right way to put that. Inheritance and composition here are both fully valid methods for modeling the relationship, and the decision to use either should be dependent on how the models are being used and the expectation for future extension.

I've switched almost entirely to ebooks for fiction, but I will only buy books that fit the following criteria:

1. DRM-free

2. No more expensive than the cheapest suggested retail price

3. Available in a generic format (EPUB, preferably)

So far, I've had excellent luck with Baen books, and decent luck with Tor books and miserable luck with just about every other publisher. Still, jokes on them, I will just pirate if I can't find a version that fits my criteria.

I feel like this article is dramatically underselling the Lend-Lease program.

But, more to the point, it never actually addresses why the French changed their minds!

At least for Netrunner, it was only 3x for the base set, and 2x would almost certainly get you enough. All the additional sets after the base set came with a full playset of 3x copies of each card.

Sadly, Netrunner is dead and the license lost, so not a lot of hope for new, official cards any time soon.

In a team-based isometric RPG like BG3 you kinda have to be, the characters are dime sized and anything less flashy just wouldn't read. It's like stage acting, you have to overexaggerate so that audience can actually see what's going on from a distance.

Quite possibly; do you specifically mean NLP work? I'll admit, it's not something I work in myself, spaCy seems to be the go-to high-performance NLP library, and does appear to use C under the hood, but I couldn't say how it performs compared to other languages.

Because it honestly doesn't matter most of the time.

In the majority of use cases, your runtime is dominated by I/O, and for the remaining use-cases, you either have low-level functions written in other languages wrapped in Python (numpy, etc.) or genuinely have a case Python is a terrible fit for (eg. low-level graphics programming or embedded).

Why bother making a new variant language with limitation and no real benefit?

I can't say I see the point of this, unless you have a criminally unresponsive backend dev team.

Any half-decent backend API will offer parameters to limit the response of an endpoint, from basic pagination to filtering what info is returned per unit. What's the use of extra complexity of a "BFF" if those calls can be crafted on the fly.

And to be clear, I am not suggesting that custom endpoint be crafted for every call that gets made, that just seem like a strawman the article is positing; but rather that calls specify when info they need.

I am mystified at how many comments here are shocked at the price; the 4090 exactly in line with recent NVIDIA pricing. The 4080s do seem a little strangely overpriced, but not by huge margins.

For comparison, the 3090 launched at $1500.

Land value taxes are not functionally different than just regular property taxes in the places where it matters. In all of the areas that are in the worst of the housing crisis, property value is already dominated by land value; LVT doesn't really change much.

The problem, just like the source says, is that the tax is too low, not mention the absolute disaster that is Prop 13 in California.

Interesting. Even with the examples given, I found Python considerably easier to follow, with the possible exception of the inheritance example.

Just goes to show how subjective it all is!

Spirit Island; an asymmetric co-op game that the thematic opposite of Settlers of Catan; you play the native spirits of an island just starting to get colonized, trying to kill and scare off the colonizers before they get a fully develop the island.

Honestly, the environment design reminds me to Day of the Tentacle a bit. It's certainly interesting, I'm curious about how it will look in full scenes.

Still, I'm gonna buy it. It's another Monkey Island. By Ron Gilbert. It could be a text adventure, and I'd still buy it.
