It's a pretty good game fwiw, though I never got the reverence it receives from the internet. Maybe it's a symptom of shoddy writing in videogames that anything that strays from the norm gets praise. I always felt the story was told in a really hamfisted way, not to mention the cheap twist at the end sours the experience.

There's another game which came out roughly at the same time and tried to tackle similar themes - Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days, but with less in your face commentary. It was loathed both by critics and players for it's aesthetics and frustrating gameplay, but I've always loved it for what it attempted to do (and imo, did it better than Spec Ops).

I wonder how both would be received if they were released today.
That's valid, but 10% compounded yearly is going to quickly dominate any other taxes.

I think we all just enjoy building things and seeing some sort of output and it doesn't really matter where you come from or your profession.

It's no surprise that one profession that builds things that people uses enjoys another profession where you build things that people use.

Their tax bill is rising 10% a year, depending on their property tax (if it is budget based or not), this could just be that their property is appreciating 10% faster than everyone else’s property. That means their equity is shooting through the roof. If it isn’t on a budget system, that could mean that their property (and possibly everyone else’s) property is appreciating 10% a year, or maybe they are adding levies or increasing the rate to fund new spending.

In early 2017, due to some fortuitous circumstances, I got involved in investing in a cryptocurrency mining pool. Thanks to the crazy surge in cryptocurrency values that year, I made some money and still hold onto some BTC.

Because of this, in 2018, I once considered dedicating all my energy to the blockchain industry. However, after nearly half a year of in-depth research, I felt that it was really hard for the technology to generate practical value. By the way, I am a computer engineer with over ten years of work experience, having worked at some of the world's largest internet companies. So, blockchain technology was not magical to me.

I mean, the designs of BTC and ETH have their clever and interesting aspects, but at that time, I really couldn't see their practical application value. Therefore, I later diverted my time and career elsewhere. But I still worry that I made the wrong decision, so I kept a significant amount of BTC.
HA.

That's actually a remarkable statistic.

I believe the current hiring woes in the US are more nefarious than just being picky.

First, I believe US companies are figuring out how to hire foreign teams at lower cost. I get multiple emails per week from companies offering us their team at low rates. South America and India are common places. I personally witnessed this at my last company where they drastically cut US/North America staff in favor of Indian teams with a pure cost motive. Literally dozens of jobs including SE and supporting roles shipped overseas.

Second, I believe US companies are asserting back control over the labor market. Employees took a lot of control in the Covid era so companies have to be looking to fix that.

Yeah, big banks have been trying to decom outdated, duplicative, or abandoned codebases for a long time. These companies have lots of single-use software floating around.

I was really amazed about how many people lie on the resumes. E.g. a recent study [0] said 70%, but there are many of these with similar numbers. There is a difference between putting your best foot forward and just straight lying for financial gain, which is fraud, and can (very rarely) send you to jail.

Personally, if I suspect dishonesty, it's a strong no-hire. If I even get a whiff of dishonesty, I'll at least flag to recruiters, hiring managers, and interviewers, and we've actually compared notes and realized a pattern of behavior before.

It is hard though since a lot of the stuff they would lie about are things you can't verify.

I'm not sure what part of my comment made you think that my current employer is an obstacle in job hunting. Actually it's quite the opposite, as I mention I get a lot of attention from recruiters even though I'm not actively looking. The issue I'm observing is that this attention doesn't clearly translate to more job opportunities.

If my current employer was the problem, wouldn't recruiters and hiring managers not bother reaching out, or reject my applications (I haven't applied to any job directly recently so I can't say).

Twitter addresses a bunch of the downsides of RSS that were listed.

Yes, the core action that triggers the story is unavoidable though.

I tried to go back and avoid the area in question with my fire after seeing the result but it didn't matter.

Not being more specific for spoiler avoidance and it's really understandable because this is the core the story is all about. There are more key plot points where you just can't proceed. The game tricks you into thinking you're doing the right thing at the time, which is very smartly done. But once you know you can't avoid them. But yes it just makes sense because without them there simply is no story.

To me it did make me question though what actions I would do in a computer game to make me feel like it's necessary to progress in the game. It was a very interesting point to make. The user doesn't usually have this kind of agency in games, and it's really "kill all those dudes or stay stuck here forever". I thought it was a much smarter and more intricate point to make than the usual anti-game violence BS.

By extension (outside of the fictional realm) it is also a question of what kind of orders you'd follow as a military but luckily I have never been in a military and I never would join one voluntary because I don't believe in unconditional obedience. But yet in games my ethical concerns disappear. Logical in some ways because it's not the real world but on the other hand, yeah it makes me think. That's the only thing I really remember this game for, because gameplay-wise it really was kinda meh.
Okay but that's not really actionable. There are only a small number of highly competent people available in the labor market at any price. Occasionally you can get lucky and hire enough of them to assemble an entire team, and the results can be extraordinary (at least until the ego conflicts destroy it). But since no large organization can rely on that strategy they have to find ways to deliver value using average people who might be incompetent in certain areas. That usually means some kind of agile methodology to provide a level of predictability and prevent things from going totally off the rails.
Replacing the music assets with silence should still be possible even without knowing how to compile the game, I imagine
Looking at a city I know (Chicago) calling these the “quietest” places is just silly. Sure, these may be somewhat quiet places (on occasion), and are relatively quiet for their proximity to downtown, but they are nowhere close to the quietest, as in, places that are the most quiet. Just another example of misuse of superlatives.

> Next, we identified which parks and nature spots are considered quiet by those who visit them. We did this by searching visitors’ reviews for mentions of ‘quiet’, ‘relaxing’, ‘tranquil’, ‘calm’, and ‘peaceful’. This gave us a ‘Quiet Score’, a metric we created based on three factors: the share of each location’s reviews that mention these words; the location’s average visitor rating; and its popularity, and whether that impacts its peacefulness (a place with many reviews may be more crowded and less peaceful, while one with only a few reviews may not accurately represent the typical visitor experience). The higher the ‘Quiet Score’, the more peaceful the place is. In total, we looked into over 3,000 parks and nature spots across 245 cities.

Ok so they did sentiment analysis of reviews of parks in cities. Maybe “popular quiet places” wasn’t as catchy of a title.

Computer Fun was the first progamming book I ever got. It made me into a coder. I got it when I was six at the same time my father and uncle gave me and my siblings my Uncle's old Apple II for Christmas.

I still got a physical copy of it on my home office shelf. Not the same one I had as a kid mind you, because that one took a serious beating over the years. I looked for that book for years with only the memory of the general illustration style to guide me. One day about a decade ago I stumbled on it.
