actually most or perhaps all of those things would be reduced, probably by a lot, if we addressed poverty or other societal issues . in particular, drug dealing and human trafficking largely involve victims who are already economically vulnerable; also you even admit in the comment itself that people do some of those…

My favourite part is that exact bit of exchange:

Let’s take over a million lines of code and just start over because I have a seriously shallow and naive understanding of all the things that make up Twitter and I think it would be easier to understand if all that complexity went away. I mean, it would all still work, right? Come on, it can’t take more that 12 weeks…

lol, one question on specifics and he literally melts

I’m just gonna say that I’ve started playing this game and...I think you need to understand eurojank simulator games—admittedly a very weird and niche place—to know where this is coming from.

The irony is that in the corporate world you are often simultaneously over AND understaffed. Special projects get an unreasonable amount of funding and headcount, while bread-and-butter teams are near skeleton-crews.

What’d you expect? The guy to actually admit he was over his head? Humility in tech culture? That ain’t it. 

“But the Series S could also be a problem for devs as it adds yet one more console to worry about and optimize for”

You forgot to mention the Twitter Space that Hotz hosted yesterday, where Musk naively called for a “total rewrite” of the whole twitter stack, and then received well deserved pushback from an actual engineer:

These are the rockstars that roll in, make changes, claim everything is amazing, and bounce (from company or project). Then it gets deployed and they can yell, “Worked when I left!”

it’s better to defund the police actually. then we can use that money to fund things that actually reduce poverty and crime

I’ll wait until they get a Tank Police DLC.

Surprise, surprise. Sadly he didn’t even manage to learn enough to change his mind about twitter only needing to be “50 people”.

Twitter probably can’t get down to less than 50 LAWYERS, much less 50 employees. Even the idea of only 50 engineers is patently ridiculous. You’re going to need that many people to just…

It’s more that the police working in high crime areas don’t live in those high crime areas. They’re effectively an occupying force of upper middle class people taking guns into neighborhoods full of poor people in order to use violence to control the poor people while not caring if the crime rates in those communities…

It’s worrying enough that Call of Duty is as popular as it is, a military propaganda war fantasy. On the other side is GTA, which is crime fantasy for children, if you think it’s not, listen to the voice chat at any time, there’s freaking toddlers playing it. 

one of my favorite photoshops

Does that make Final Fight anti cop? The mayor is like, “God damn these cops are useless.” *rips off shirt and suplexes his way to rescuing his daughter himself*

Streets of Rage, technically speaking, is a Police Simulator, albeit not a very realistic one, as the last time I checked, “Flaming Dragon Uppercuts” was not one of the things you learn at Police School

Just my two cents

Blah blah blahhhhh. Go outside for while, you’re overdue. 

I don’t know what to tell you other than Kotaku has never been video games only at any point that I can recall. If you want games only, there are certainly other sites out there that can accommodate.
