I for one can't read a word while there are moving pictures around. That's one of the main reasons I block ads. So please, remove the video and stick with stills! Animated stills while scrolling is fine, however.


Don't forget ScummVM!


I remember we paid Circle CI ungodly amounts to host a dozen trash can Mac Pros to run our iOS CI. Early Swift versions caused huge spikes in build times.


A business I run depends heavily on Google Sheets that I inject values into and read computed values out of. That lets us define rather complex business logic in spreadsheet form, and business and finance people can easily tweak it. Everybody is very happy with this solution.


Crashes in cycling aren't nearly as common as you claim, and a fair amount of them are caused by clueless spectators.


You're the one who said a wide person has to buy two seats in a comment above. Then we must define what the dimensions of a seat are to know what we're tealking about.


> Then we must define what the dimensions of a seat are to know what we're tealking about.

Why? We are buying a seat, not inches. But since you insist, here: https://seatguru.com/charts/generalcharts.php

How does this information move the conversation forward?


A seat consists of inches. And these vary on every airline. So yes you do need to know the inches to know how many seats to buy under your plan. In principle even an average sized person could be undersized on some theoretical airline with smaller seats -- the dimensions are key.


> A seat consists of inches.

Yes, but you aren't buying inches but a seat on a plane so it is irrelevant. The original poster said that when he buys a seat he bought a whole seat, not 0.7 nor 0.9 of that seat. How does defining that seat in inches invalidates his point?

> So yes you do need to know the inches to know how many seats to buy under your plan. In principle even an average sized person could be undersized on some theoretical airline with smaller seats -- the dimensions are key.

Yes, when you want to fly it is good to know what size a seat you are buying but notice that you saying that in no way moves the conversation forward. And nobody claimed that knowing the size of seat in inches isn't important.


I played through the first three about a year ago, but I had to resort to walkthroughs for hints for a few things that I just don't get how you would figure out... except just trying everything. Great games for sure, but man were games hard back in the day.


This is giving me flashbacks to writing my thesis back in 2005 in lab in Germany. I remember spending almost a full working day on getting the logos of the two institutes I was working for aligned horizontally in LaTeX.

You can create amazingly beautiful publications in LaTeX and I'm not aware of anything equal for writing mathematical formulas, but I would probably not recommend anyone use LaTeX for a publication in 2023.


Since you're already in Google Cloud, perhaps try their PubSub. Not sure what features you need but that should cover most.


Sort of makes you wonder if the corn lobby was funneling money to this lawsuit. Sounds like a conspiracy theory, but you never know.


> Sounds like a conspiracy theory, but you never know.

When something “sounds” like it and you don’t have any evidence, it IS a conspiracy theory.


Don't know if that is the case here, but that possibility cannot be discounted. It is a definite pattern for litigation attorneys. Studies can be easily manufactured.


> Studies can be easily manufactured.

Studies can be replicated(or failed to do so) by a company the size of J&J.
