Death toll last I saw was 19,300. Kinda shows how fragile life is that about 20k people could die just like that suddenly.

While it is possible for that many people to die that suddenly, a significant part of these deaths is because Turkish citizens pay into an earthquake relief fund that very clearly has been embezzled for a long time. Buildings right along the fault line were very clearly not built to any sort of safety specification and relief teams have been taking days to get there because they simply weren't prepared. We're talking billions of dollars collected that never went anywhere. Erdogan shut down Twitter after people started complaining about the government's slow response time because he has an election coming up.

This tragedy could have been one with a much smaller death count if it wasn't for the massive amount of corruption that turkey suffers under the current government.

Like 75% of being a dev, at least in the early stages, is knowing how to figure out how to do what you want to do

no one is going to know the ins and outs of every framework, its all about googling or reading the documentation efficiently

Knowing what you want to do is where the cheaters are going to suffer. If you have no idea what you're doing and you're interacting with a messaging framework that is dropping messages, you might flail around on Google and end up tweaking quality of service settings or something, when the actual solution might be to implement a circular queue as a buffer and take advantage of threading to parallelize your input processing.

The death toll between turkey and Syria is actually closer to 20,000 now. The silver lining, however small it may be, is that this is bringing together organizations and countries that only a couple weeks ago probably wouldn't even pick up the phone for each other. You have countries being stonewalled by turkey in their NATO application sending teams of rescuers. Checkpoints between Syria and turkey have opened up so that aid workers from rebel held areas can come into the country to support. Israel is sending their rescue teams.

With a little bit of luck and a lot of hard work, some of these acts of Goodwill may actually branch out and lead to a little bit more peace and stability in the region as these folks come together over a shared tragedy.

If they're copying airlines then the inevitable next step is taking the best seats and making them reservable only by AMC rewards members.

Are you kidding? Reserving your seating is a million times better than the old method of "Guess we better show up an hour early to make sure we're not stuck in the front row." Being able to walk in minutes before the start of the movie knowing the exact seat you want is reserved is worth having to plan ahead, and even if you don't you can still buy tickets at the theater if you really want and gamble on good seats being left.

It's an investment group buying stocks on the stock market. Nintendo is actually protected by the Japanese government as a national asset, so it's not actually possible for foreign investor to seize any actual control.

Like, I think people may be misrepresenting the story if they think that Nintendo cut some kind of deal with Saudi Arabia. All that happened is the Saudi Arabian group pulled together a bunch of money and bought enough stock to increase their stake by 1%.

The latest package includes guided bombs that go twice as far as HIMARS, effectively giving Ukraine the ability to hit targets anywhere in occupied territory. So the entirety of Russian occupied Ukraine (including Crimea) is now within range of the Ukraine military.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-64518532
The US says additional military aid to Ukraine worth $2.2bn (1.83bn) will include long-range missiles capable of doubling its attack range.

It brings the total amount of military aid given to Ukraine to more than $29.3bn (24.31bn) since February 2022.

The package includes ground-launched small-diameter bombs (GLSDB) which can hit targets 150km (93 miles) away.

Previously, Ukraine's longest range weapon was the Himars rocket system, which can hit targets at a range of up to 80km (50 miles). Kyiv used the system to devastating effect during its counter-offensive in the south and east earlier this year.

And here's the most important part:
The GLSDB also gives Ukraine forces an ability to strike anywhere in the Russian-occupied Donbas, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions. It also allows Ukraine to threaten Russian supply lines in the east.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


While it's tough to tell how hard it would have been with the secret mechanic known PRIOR to all the other nerfs, I still think 11 is just fundamentally a more punishing game and those world superbosses required the same kind of gearing and coordination as an XIV ultimate, but spread out over a much longer period of time. The fact that these bosses require coordinating on 2 hour cooldowns across multiple groups and hot-swapping people in and out of the fight while managing aggro and everything else is just crazy to me. It'd be like if Alexander Ultimate wasn't an 8 man fight, but a 24 man raid that took multiple hours to beat.

Like... IIRC there was also some other robot superboss in 11 (IIRC it was the one that Omega was modeled after) that was similarly difficult to Absolute Virtue. Virtue might have had a broken mechanic, but the other superbosses weren't very far behind.

Plus you need to factor in that a wipe in an XIV ultimate is no big deal, especially compared to XI's death penalty. A wipe against a superboss in XI is the kind of thing that leads to ruined friendships, disbanded guilds, and cancelled subs.

EDIT: for example
https://www.destructoid.com/final-fantasy-xi-boss-causes-vomiting-takes-18-hours-to-beat/
A recent update to the game, however, has brought an entirely new set of megabosses along with it. The toughest of these has an equally grandiose moniker: Pandemonium Warden. Never ones to back down from a challenge, Beyond the Limitation took it on, but had to quit after a grueling 18 hours.
Says player Sylphet of BtL:
People were passing out and getting physically ill. We decided to end it before we risked turning into a horrible new story about how video games ruin peoples lives.
Sylphet also mentions that several members of the linkshell actually vomited over the course of the battle.

Probably a boss in FFXIV since you have to rely on other people to not fuck up mechanics.

It's most likely going to be a final fantasy 11 boss like pre patch absolute virtue. For as much as people talk about 14 bosses being tough, 11 had these unbelievably ridiculous boss fights where teams of guilds would have to collaborate on cooldown rotations to fight a boss over multiple days to have a chance of killing it, and even summoning the boss in the first place was probably a half day long activity to trigger all the conditions.

Yeah its like, gamers are constantly complaining about live service games, but also want certain games to just be supported indefinitely

I think the most important factor is what was promised at launch. Gamers are constantly complaining about live service games, but they still have every reason to expect that if they do buy one, and the company has promised a certain amount of support, they will get that level of support because it's factored directly into the cost of the game and their buying decision.

So if Turtle Rock said something like they would be supporting this game for years to come, then it's perfectly valid to call them out for killing the game early. Especially if features they promised to implement, such as couch co-op, we're never actually added to the game.

Ultimately, the complaint around live service games and the complaint around those games being shut down is the same root: players want their games to be finished at launch and to get all of the features they were promised in their purchase. You can do that by not being a live service and just delivering a complete title, or you can do that by being a live service with a long delivery pipeline, but a failure in either case is going to lead to the same sense of being ripped off.

I don't even use any of the advanced features that those flagship phones have so might as well go for budget if it's got a good processor for internet and good microphone for phone calls and sound.

At this point I think it's safe to say the high end phones have far exceeded the processing power they actually need and are just in a perpetual race to have the biggest numbers. Most of the advanced features they tout probably would work on their same phones 3+ generations back if they bothered to update the OS.
