I don’t know my Greek mythology that well, but my instinct is Aphrodite. She wouldn’t want her champion to be ugly, so she would make me beautiful (but not as beautiful as her).
Not OP but, Alleged sexual assault, think the cases are still ongoing or he paid them to nda, didn’t follow it much. Man was always creepy so when the allegations came out I kinda thought “no surprise there” and didn’t pay much more attention
I’ve never seen a video on this, but surely someone else has heard of it.
Back in the late 2000s, early 2010s, I got a CD in a cereal box with a PC game on it. the game was I think some kind of gamified flight sim, and the interesting part is that there was a decal of a plane on top of the CD surface. On the other side of the CD, there was another game (maybe a racing game?) And it had a corresponding decal, so the CD had decals on both sides and could be inserted both ways in your player to play each game. I’ve never seen that anywhere else (2 -sided CD or CD readable surface with decals) and I remember the game actually being somewhat fun, but promotional games of the era are very often lost media.
I did a little digging and found that Nestle added CDs to their cereals! There were quite a few different titles with different labels. Maybe these links well help you find your games?
I would unironically have "what what in the butt" as my doorbell and lmao if anyone ever rang it (I don't get a lot of visitors, and if I do they don't ring the bell, so it would, at the very least, reduce some anxiety of a stranger ringing the bell as I hide and wait for them to leave 😂)
Made for the Commodore C128 computer (which oddly ran Microsoft Basic), it was a simple single-screen platform shooter with the twist that you could pile up the bodies of your enemies and use them as platforms.
In my head, “dark matter” and “dark energy” are the names we’ve given to the limits of our understanding. At some point in the future the news is going to break that an Einstein or a Feynman or a Hawking will publish a paper titled “So we figured out what’s causing the thing we’ve been calling dark matter this whole time.”
That’s literally what dark energy and dark matter are though, place holder names for phenomena we don’t fully understand yet. I’m not sure how you weren’t aware of that.
But that’s literally true and fully acknowledged by the physics and astronomy fields. It’s why those things received the names “dark.” Because currently we can’t see what’s causing those effects. And there are currently physicists and astronomers who spend their time researching these effects in hopes of publishing that exact “Hey! I figured out what it is” paper. Then we’ll praise that person, add their name to the pantheon and fail to acknowledge the hoards of other people who contributed to the foundational research that allowed them to finally figure it out.
Yes, I completely agree. Dark matter and dark energy are supposed to make up over 90% of the universe, yet we failed to detect them yet? No way! Those are just fill-ins, because our formulas are obviously not working that great on a grander scale.
This suggests the question why do most of the highly educated people who have spent their lives studying the question think differently? Why is the universe obligated to be made of something easy to measure and understand?
The universe isn’t obligated to us for anything, but we want to understand it and be able to make predictions. Right now we seem not to be able to do that.
Because someone in the dev team had the time to hook up their continuous integration scripts with Play Store publishing API, to the despair and jealosity of dev teams of all other apps.
This is how software should be managed. You make a change to your software, push one extra button, and in one hour all your users receive it.
In case of open-source projects like Fairemail, your budget is very likely zero or in negatives. Very often it’s one or few developers who make the app basically for their own daily use, and publish it on a ‘use at your own risk’ basis for everyone else. So yeah, if you use any open-source software, please do some testing work if you want it to improve.
“usually” is very generous. Automated testing takes effort to develop and maintain, a lot more than the rest of the CICD pipeline combined. And it’s only one piece of a complete qa strategy, if it’s all you have you’re still using users as testers.
Phone ringtones from Zedge app may give you some ideas. There’s loads of music snippets that have been ripped from songs that have just the right length.
My current ringtone is the famous riff from Du Hast by Rammstein.
My message notification is the bleeping from Ich Wil.
Check out Zedge or whatever the equivalent apple app would be.
It’s agile. Every change is small and less likely to break the overall experience. Putting into hands of users quickly means bugs, especially breaking bugs are found quickly and easily backed out or fixed. If you wait a month, then when a bug is reported it’s much harder to track down and fix. Plus your users suffer until your next release.
It’s not required, it’s really a matter of preference. Many users, me included, prefer having access to the newest features and bug fixes right away, but that also means less time to test the code for new bugs.
For another example, look at Debian vs. Arch Linux and how they are released
That’s a really good example. Also makes me think of apps that have stable and beta/nightly builds available. Stable gets updated at a much slower pace than beta/nightly.
Came here to point that out. You also have LTS versions for business critical software. Sometimes, a newer version is in beta or nightly mode for a long time while the stable version only receives bug fixes.
