Capitalism: If it’s free, then you’re the product

They managed to cherry pick 3 examples. Good job on them

It’s crazy that 10 million sales is considered a disappointment. Game companies need to lower their expectations. Not everything can be a Fortnite style success.

I like the flexibility Rust offers with the result type. It makes the error handling part of the control flow rather than an afterthought.

Unwrap means it forces to evaluate the result as an ”ok value”. If it’s an ”error value”, it will crash. It’s a bad practice to rely on it, as it’s one of the most common ways a Rust programs can crash.

Rust offers many options to handle errors that don’t risk crashing. For example, unwrap_or_default, which means ”if it’s an error value, use the default value for this type, such as 0 for integers”

I prefer it over alternatives:

• Exceptions: ”Oh no! Guess I’ll just die”
• Error codes: ”If a non-zero error code is returned but no one notices, is it really an error?”

It’s more about the psychological. Setting arbitrary speed limits isn’t enough. If some idiot driver think it’s safe to speed, they will.

I believe Helsinki is aware of this and is one of the many measures they’ve made to limit traffic deaths.

The ads are made by a separate ad agency. Their goal is to do whatever they think will grab the most attention - not what faithfully represents the game. They likely don’t have access to any game assets at all.

What’s amazing is that it seems like it works. If it didn’t, they wouldn’t keep doing it.

LLMs are shoehorned into products for share value reasons, not for usability reasons. Shareholders don’t care if it makes any sense. They want their companies to jump to all the latest trends.

That’s Charlie Brown!

I appreciate virtual toasts, but it’s still solo drinking.
