Yeah, that’s what I’m referring to as well. If one sentence doesn’t make sense on its own, then it shouldn’t have a period at the end. Maybe complex sentences are too difficult for some people…

Yep, I noticed that, but I’ve also noticed a lot of people doing this in writing. It’s weird.

What’s up with putting a period in the middle of a sentence?

Didn’t know that; interesting to learn. Hope it hasn’t caused too much problems.

Not a doctor, but I guess it depends on the case, the anaesthetic used and so on. As a kid I had to have a primary molar pulled out and it hurt like hell with local anaesthetic. Recently I had all four of my wisdom teeth pulled out and I didn’t feel a thing during the procedure (also with just local anaesthetic) - it only hurt for a few days afterwards while the wounds were healing.

I’m from some country in the EU. We have a saying, half joke, half serious: You aren’t truly successful living abroad if you have to come home to fix your teeth. I guess it holds some truth.

I’d be surprised if a game like this doesn’t have some sort of automated level generation (that maybe requires some minimal human input from time to time).

Yeah, but modern economy wants you to buy a new one ideally every year, so it doesn’t work for that.

Any half-decent editor/IDE/command line tool will scream at you about this; plus there’s version control which should help you spot it as well.

Plot twist: they used a script to generate that code.

… with the difference being that it’s not scripted.

Could be, I don’t know. I doubt that video creators would go through all of these old videos just to update them to a slightly higher bitrate; the other possibility is that YouTube kept the original uploads or higher bitrate variants without previously showing them (and only showed them now), but that seems like a huge waste of storage, so it seems unlikely to me. Again, we’re talking about old uploads (2-3 or up to 10 years ago), not new ones.

The one thing I’ve seen that makes sense is updating old videos that were previously available at up to 480p and bringing them up to 720p or 1080p (with the idea of keeping the original published video with the views, comments and so on instead of uploading a new one).

Ads aside, what’s been infuriating me lately is that YouTube seems to have degraded the quality of existing videos and locked the previously available quality behind the “1080p Enhanced Bitrate”; I have no way of confirming this since I obviously don’t have Premium, but I’m fairly sure that the regular 1080p of old videos that I rewatch from time to time (uploaded 2-3 years ago or earlier) is now worse than it was. If it was about new uploads with something previously unavailable, it would’ve been somewhat understandable. Something also tells me that the paid tier is also going to get ads eventually.

Have you seen how metal keycaps are priced?

Looks like a knockoff to me. Look at the “Backspace” lettering up close for example.

I wrote “could easily cost 10 times more”, which doesn’t exclude an even higher price. $100-$150 for just the case (I couldn’t find the exact one) is what I’d expect.

I was even thinking just about the case - good CNCd aluminium has come down in price, but it’s still expensive. You also have a point, I agree.

Ironically enough, talking about cutting expenses, the keyboard in the photo could easily cost 10 times more than the typical 100% keyboard you’d find in a corporate office.

I don’t really mind. The only high bandwidth thing I use on my work laptop is the USB-C for my displays. If I ever plug something into the rest of the ports, it would be a mouse/keyboard/headset and none of those require anything more than USB 2.0.

I’m a programmer, but I feel like I’ve heard this outside of this field.
