I think that’s context relevant though. If we think about when dates are most frequently used (news, business, planning) it’s typically within the year (or month will give context).

That added with the fact it’s not uncommon in some situations to just provide month/day.

That being said, I don’t think either is better or worse. Just a preference kinda thing, unlike the issue between metric and imperial units.

It is “built-in” as the name is part of python. However, Python runs top to bottom, rather than having a special entrypoint. So name is just a utility you can use in your design.

While it can be a good practice to define a main entrypoint, that’s more of a design decision and not hard rule. Many applications would not benefit from it because there is only one way to actually call the application to begin with.

Edit: Also not a dumb question. All programming languages have unique elements to them due to how they were envisioned and or developed over time (Pythons 30 years old)

The point of the name==main logic is that it checks if that is the file that was invoked (like running python filename.py). If you just put a main() in the global scope it will be called either when the file is invoked or loaded (which can cause unintended consequences).

To be honest I assumed most Whitehouse staff are political appointees. If that’s the case he’s looking to fire all the incompetent people he brought on himself. But some may be apolitical.

It it’s like the other recent votes, it’s actually republicans turning out to vote for democrats. I think both Florida and Michigan(?) had less democrats and more republicans turning out, meaning that republicans are turning on the party.

Well technically BOTW released on the WiiU and switch, so pseudo launch title (although no one had the WiiU).

That being said Mario Kart tends to do a lot better than zelda games (especially given BOTW is actually a sales outlier for Zelda games).

Its not a bad game to release with. Plus you can tell by the other games release dates that they’re really just building up to the holiday season.

Yep, exactly why I was asking. I think if they’re releasing on consoles they think the game is polished enough. I bet they’ll continue to drop new content afterwards, but that you’ll at least have a “complete” game at that point.

Oh I’m not worried that they won’t, but I’ve been avoiding playing it until it’s at least at an official release.

I don’t typically go back and replay games, so I wanted to make sure it was basically done before starting it.

Haha, I guess you’re implying releasing v1.0 would mean no longer early access?

Can’t say I’m really sure what defines early access on steam.

Does that mean it’s leaving early access?

Yeah, I figured 12 switch must have sold well enough that they know they’ll make the money. Honestly I think it sold because there were no other launch titles and people were starved for games.

Theyve set things up the same way again (literally only Mario Kart on release), but the marketing on the game and market in general aren’t as good.

So it’ll just take 11 years to even out.

Edit: Just double checked, it’s 1 trillion in the “next year or so”. So x >= 11 years :(

I always like how people consider modern day countries as if they are the same entity from hundreds of years ago (or longer). Yes there is a through line, but the land China currently occupies has been many different things over human history.

Out of curiosity what do you do at the protests? Is it just standing around or something more involved?

Not really, maybe a blip of something in 2021-2022, but generally the US economy as a whole has been doing alright - Real GDP. Individual people though have been getting beaten up recently, but boy is that about to get worse.

UK went through industrialization leading to its empire, and the US was the industrial power during its ascent. Same thing with Japan before WWII.

Many imoeralistic powers seem to go through big industrial growth before expansion.

I’ll have to check this out.

Also, can’t help but callout another wholesome Gator game - https://store.steampowered.com/app/1586800/Lil_Gator_Game/

That’s cause all the Devin’s are distracting you with the AI uprising while actually planning their own.

Should take a screenshot and post to the “aneurysm posts” community.

Yeah, some battles got really tedious. Additionally once you have a couple key echoes there wasn’t really much puzzle element anymore, everything felt solvable with two or three echoes.

Never even finished it because it felt so repetitive. Personally I think the “openness” of the world was a detraction. Part of the fun of zelda/metroidvanias is finding out how new skills expand the map and also help make puzzles progressive. By opening up the map all puzzles default to generic solutions.
