  • That doesn’t sound like a fair assessment to me. I wouldn’t touch the game in question with a 10 ft pole, but not because I’m scared of being influenced by it. This will make people become sexists and rapists in the same way that gay porn makes people gay and violent murder games make people violent murderers. Of course, there are certain groups of society that need to be protected from media like this, but that’s hardly a new concept.

    Personally I’m more worried about the weird, predatory Android Play Store fetish content aimed almost exclusively at young children.




  • Imagine a tool that gives you a language in which you can describe the hardware resources you want from a cloud provider. Say you want multiple different classes of servers with different sets of firewall rules. Something like Terraform allows you to put that into a text-based form, make changes to it, re-run the tool and expect resources to be created, changed and destroyed to match what you wrote down.


  • Mostly just the part where you claim that “modern” pizza was invented in the US. Not a different food, not a variation with its own history - just straight up “modern” pizza. That’s a very sad and mildly insulting way to describe a global hit with Italian roots. Mass production alone doesn’t give any country the right to claim to have invented a food.

    I can understand the frustration of tourists when they expect something different from the authentic version of a dish, even if that’s pretty unlikely with a dish that has so many different styles all over the world, but you make it sound like pizza, as a whole, is a US invention and Italy serves some antiquated precursor… Also, Italy serves many different kinds of pizza. No one should feel forced to go to the most traditional restaurant in Naples and order a pizza margherita, even though most people will probably like it.

    English and French are on opposite ends of the spectrum of how predictable the pronunciation of a word is, based on the spelling. French may have a ton of extra letters, but at least it’s consistent. The english language has so many exceptions to its rules that you effectively need to learn to pronounce almost every single word separately.
