Don’t forget the lessons from https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Can_You_Pet_the_Dog%3F
Cooper found that the stray dogs in Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 could not be petted by players. He stated he “was frustrated that [the game] purposely put dogs in a poor situation, meant to evoke empathy from the player, but there was no way to comfort or care for these hungry, frightened creatures”.
Replace “dog” with “demon” and the same principle applies.
I remember when Steam came out and everyone hated it because of how slow and buggy it was. Crazy how times have changed.
Logic levels are between a logical low and logical high!

Predation accounts for a relatively low rate of nest failure: only 34% compared to an average of 80% for birds in similar habitats. This may be enabled by their well camouflaged nests, or simply the lack of local predators.

You’re going to regret those words when you die and face judgment before the Moth God.
Is it really worth it?
They say money can’t buy happiness, but it can buy apples, and that cat looks pretty happy to me.
I don’t think having well-defined precision is a rare requirement, it’s more that most devs don’t understand (and/or care) about the pitfalls of inaccuracy, because they usually aren’t obvious. Also, languages like JavaScript/PHP make it hard to do things the right way. When I was working on an old PHP codebase, I ran into a popular currency library (Zend_Currency) that used floats for handling money, which I’m sure works fine up until the point the accountants call you up asking why they can’t balance the books. The “right way” was to use the bcmath extension, which was a huge pain.
I work at big tech (not MS) and yes, the comp package really is that good, though not as good as it used to be. I immediately doubled my total comp when I came here from my last job, and now it’s ~5x. I could retire right now if I wanted, so I don’t care about layoffs anymore.
Yeah, it got really popular when the Bible dropped in the 2nd century BCE. The Noah flood story was basically a copy-and-paste of the Epic of Gilgamesh. Bible nerds were annoying af.
Two seven year olds and a one year old. The one year old did the car jack; the seven year olds were lookouts.
