Cloud gaming is crap and any actual gamer will tell you that. The niche of gamers casual enough to not care about playing over network latency but serious enough to pay real money for cloud gaming is microscopic.

It's a fine solution but surely just patching the drywall yourself wouldn't be that hard. It's really not a difficult process.

I have tried the CodeCompanion plugin and had good results. I don't use it super extensively but it's nice when I decide to try it.

Things get Rust advertised in the title because the Rust community is somewhat on a quest to assert itself. There are certain things that the language will only be allowed to do if it becomes seen as one of the "big" languages, and advertising the language in a million small projects is a collective shove toward that aim.

I do. It's a device that is often hooked up to my TV so it becomes the shared device for watching things like Youtube.

Sounds like the plot of God Shaped Hole

I think the reverse exists as well. I think I am a much better test taker than average, and this has very clearly given me some advantages that come from the structure of exam-focused education. Exam taking is a skill and it's possible to be good at it, independent of the underlying knowledge. Of course knowing the material is still required.

However you are correct in noticing that there are an anomalously high number of "bad test takers" in the world. Many students are probably using this as a flimsy excuse for poor performance. Overall I think the phenomenon does exist.

I don't know the details but I know I made this mistake and I still have my Free Tier instances hosted in a different region then my home. It's charged me a month of $1 already so I'm pretty sure it's working.

Youtube is a monopoly because it's not a very good business to be in and it basically lives off Google subsidization. It has plenty of openings for competition and none have too much forward movement.

Our team kinda thinks the same thing about serverless but despite that we have some things built with it. And the paradoxical thing is that this issues have just never materialized, the serverless stuff is overwhelmingly the most stable part of our application. It's kinda weird and we don't fully trust it but empirically serverless works as advertised.

I think the window for Microsoft to squash Proton (if that was ever practical) has already passed. Valve will be able to stand up to any litigious bullying and they have financial incentive to do so. And defeating it from the technical side with a new interface would require buy-in from developers, which Microsoft has consistently been unable to obtain.

The problem is that there's no outside way to tell which 50% is the useless half. It's just like marketing budget.

Overcooked is probably best-in-class here. Cooperative zany cooking game. There's a number of derivative titles which are kinda similar if you end up enjoying it.

Your unit tests should just take the result of loading the file as an argument or other type of injection param. Then you can hardcode your unit test config parameters in the test code itself. That's the appropriate place for this kind of indirection.

Storage space is really just tacked proportional to bedrooms, for the most part. My house has what feels like a bunch of extra space because I wanted enough bedrooms for my family. They didn't need to come with so much extra, that's just how they build homes with more than a few bedrooms now.
