A high quality gaming machine that could compete with the PS4 will set you back well over $1000. And you don't get the PSVR which is relatively cheap and a perfectly decent intro to modern VR gaming.
And if they want to censor it, it wins over parents. There's a reason Nintendo is doing so well.
Nothing is stopping independent developers from making whatever games they want and releasing them however they want for the PC.
There's really no reason that promotional material would be the full series or even a full episode.
Chop off the last 10 minutes of each episode so there's no value in it outside of what it is intended for: general review. The ending of an episode is the big reveal anyway that isn't supposed to be spoiled.
Not that piracy matters anyway. Fans will wait for episodes to air.
When "hosts" leave a bunch of valuable stuff around for their "guests" it's little wonder they care more about protecting their crap than the privacy of the guests.
Stop renting out space that has your stuff in it.
Nothing of value should be in the property, everything should be documented and have proper insurance.
Does it say we get free speech as long as we're "responsible" with it?
Encouraging violence is not speech.
Speech that does not tell people to be violent cannot incite violence. If someone decides to engage in violence over an idea, they're morons responsible for their own actions.
Blaming other people for your behavior is childish. Justifying tyranny because someone blamed words for their actions is just as absurd.
It's not actually. Python lacks pass by reference among other things which is why it's not actually used in advanced work as anything other than a fancy BASH alternative to execute programs written in more serious languages.
PHP does everything C does with some ease of use features like multi-line strings and is quite fast about it. Converting from PHP to C and back is pretty trivial.
The difference between Python developers and QuickBASIC developers is that QuickBASIC developers knew it was a limited language and that they would eventually need to switch to something else.
The order of the planets people think of is based on their orbiting distance from the sun.
We resolved the whole geocentric vs heliocentric model of the solar system long ago.
Figuring out the actual distance between the planets is useful information if you want to figure out the shortest distance to get from one planet to another.
If Mercury is close to the other planets, it may be beneficial to get to there rather than to Mars.
Two kids decided to ride one scooter and lost control ending up in front of my car. Fortunately, I managed to dodge them and they hit the side of my car instead of going under it.
After switching lanes to not run them over, I got hit from behind by another car. Fortunately there was no serious damage and no injuries.
The rules need to be followed and people who haven't used them before should find a relatively empty parking lot to practice in before hitting the road. "Casual" users are they problem. They have little to no experience because they don't own one of their own. The problem with these companies is thinking anyone can just hop on one and be fine.
I think the point is that even if you shatter it, it pulls itself back together and brings in whatever hit it to add to the overall mass making the overall problem even worse.
Deflecting it would require a lot of sustained energy to push it in a new direction.
This is probably more of an attempt to let the software pick the underlying software for you with pre-packaged open source software ready to configure. Rather than going to WordPress for a blog, Shopify for a store, or whatever, you just go to one provider and their software picks the package that suits your needs.
Developers will always have a job because the skilled ones already have the toolbox for setting up the baseline software or working with the existing software. They are paid good money to fill the gap between what the software does and what the company needs.
The work that the AI is doing is an afternoon for a skilled developer. Any skilled developer already has written code that writes code for them based on patterns they use that need repeating. The most common being an ORM. The skilled developer designs the database and then the code generates the code so that the developer does not need to hand code a bunch of repeating patterns.
It's funny that they call it DRY.io because my own PHP framework is QuickDRY. It has written millions of lines of code for me so I can focus on business logic and not grunt work.
When Obama told coal miners to learn to code, no one cared. Because there are plenty of examples of coal miners learning to code. They aren't stupid people.
When Journalists were told to "learn to code" by a random person on the internet, suddenly it was a slur. Because we all know journalists are idiots.
The big companies are looking to commoditize programming because there is a lot of grunt work to be done that doesn't require a great deal of skill. And they'd rather pay cheap labor to do it and save their high paid labor for solving bigger problems.
Target already has their Red Card which can be either a credit or debit card tied to your checking account. Either one gives you 5% savings immediately.
Long ago, companies had their own credit / debit cards and people carried around a bunch. Carrying around a single card is a pretty new thing. Now if you have multiple cards it's because of "rewards."
We're going to head back in that direction with more companies implementing the Target model if the generic companies keep raising rates.
If you want to get kids into electronics and programming then you have to keep costs low. Parents aren't going to shell out hundreds of dollars for the latest hobby of the week.
Parents aren't going to pay the markup, and people who are serious about the hobby know they can buy direct from China and get the same parts.
Unless you need a part this second, there's no need to buy parts at a local retailer.
Mouser and DigiKey have been around for decades with their mail order and now on-line business.
Raspberry PI would be smarter to team up with local maker spaces to provide common parts to makers where they go to work at a price that doesn't go much above wholesale costs.
This just the same old same old. You have been able to pick up $200 laptops for years.
The problem is that they are practically unusable as they are very sluggish and have no space for anything.
They're just intended to be terminals limited to a walled-garden internet.
Schools would be far better off doing what they used to do which was has a computer lab and dedicated computer time on actual computers. Instead of trying to give every kid their own worthless device because that's all the school can afford.
One of the fundamental issues is families who don't recognize the importance of having a computer in the home since they can "use the internet on their phone."
It wasn't that long ago that families understood the importance of computers and made the effort to have one even if everyone had to share.
Bring back budget desktop PCs for the family room. That would be useful.
If it's worth saving, it's worth filtering into a folder.
Generic ads for companies I do business with have an Ads folder that is emptied periodically. Bill related emails go into a bill folder. That also gets emptied periodically.
People I actually care if I get an email from have a filter for them.
Gmail takes care of spam pretty well on its own.
The inbox just gradually grows as things go into it that never get filtered into something else.
If it's not in a folder, it's probably not that important and if space ever becomes an issue I can do more a thorough clearing out.
People care way too much about the inbox. Labels are where your white listed items go. The inbox is just a grey area that will accumulate over time but can be cleared out if needed.
Since they are just sitting there not being conveyed by a person.
A bot is just another form of printing press. And we have freedom of the press which is literally talking about printing presses.
You don't have a right to another person's printing press. So Facebook can block anyone they want. You have the right to set up your own server and entice people to come see what you have to say.
"Any bill to re-open the government will need 60 votes to pass the Senate because of procedural rules, meaning Republicans will need some Democratic votes."
Democrats own this shut down. Republicans do not have the votes on their own to get a bill passed.
Canada allows people to enter the private market for health insurance because they found it was against human rights to force people to only have a government option.
The rich are always better off. Trying to make life more difficult for them just compounds on those who don't have the money.
Set a budget of $500 and let her buy the laptop she wants.
Regardless of how she uses it, 4 cores, plenty of memory, and an SSD along with a full OS will ensure that she can install and run whatever software helps her do her job. Whatever you define her job as today is not necessarily what she'll be doing a year from now. Chrome just restricts her and your options.
And if she stick around for at least a year, let her keep it.
My first laptop was a used one my client just gave me and it worked well enough to start making some good money. My second laptop cost around $200 and worked well enough for a year to earn 10's of thousands with it.
The last one I bought was around $400 and lasted for well over $100,000 in income.
$500 is a perfectly reasonable number that will get her a perfectly functional machine that will make you both plenty of money.
And that's why you shouldn't bother about who owns it after a year. If she's still around in a year, she earned it.

...are still being made.
No one says you have to make graphically and mechanically complex games.
What we used to consider top of the line video games are now considered leisure games. And there is a huge market for them.
If you want to make games with a small team, pick up all those throwback consoles and find something you want to create your own version of.
Does it say we get free speech as long as we're "responsible" with it?

They now compile PHP and use other languages for more demanding tasks.
Of all the scripting languages, PHP is by far the most capable.
Python is just a modern version of QuickBASIC that lacks even the most basic properties of a serious programming language.

When one person holds the key to your wealth it better be you personally.
How many users were aware that a single person controlled a key that if lost would wipe out their money?
No thanks.

Google is comparing against known username and passwords which means the passwords are salted and hashed.
When you put in a username and password, it's salts and hashes the same and then checks the database.
They don't need your plaintext password to check since they have the plaintext compromised passwords.
That allows them to hash both in a known secure method.

Hating on PHP is a litmus test for who not to hire.
PHP lets you write code as good or bad as you are as a developer.
