They think the sun works like a spot light. I'm not kidding. It's the dumbest shit
In their own gif they need to make the light the sun puts out oblong which makes no fucking sense and there's no explanation as to why you can't always see the moon.
It's so stupid it's embarrassing to even debunk them.
Great way to lose all the best people at your company in a totally uncontrolled manner.
Another thing to consider is that developers consciously make design choices to adapt to the hardware available at the time, and these are not things you can just turn on and off with settings. For example maybe there's a zone transition that slows the game down on older hardware and in the past they would have added a subtle loading area like a tunnel but that's not needed anymore for their current target hardware. Should they completely change the game to be a bit smoother on 5+ year old hardware? You can get a ton of compatibility with changing settings, but to get the same level of optimization as games made at the time the old hardware was the target hardware would oftentimes mean significantly changing the game itself.
I'm a little confused by your timeline. I agree, 5 year old hardware should definitely support 1080p60, but the 1070 is 7 years old now. Since the 1070 could support that when it came out and those are static targets I think we should expect the 1070 to support 1080p60 forever for games similar to games that were coming out at the time, but it's a bit unfair to compare starfield to portal 2 and cs:go when those games are in constrained and controlled environments while starfield is vast and open, and environments definitely take a GPU toll, so you will lose some performance to that compared to those games. I haven't played starfield yet so I don't know the details, but given the scope I know of it, it doesn't sound unreasonable for it to miss the 1080p60 mark a bit given the difference in game environment.
And he's blaming the anti defamation league...
Shouldn't that already be covered under revenge porn laws? At least the distribution side of it.
I read that as rapture threat
You can put any type of value in an array in JavaScript. You can have numbers, strings, booleans, arrays, and objects. So what should the default sort function sort by? Sorting by numbers makes sense, but what if it wanted to sort strings instead?
When you don't know what value is in an array ahead of time you can't assume how to sort it. When you're controlling the program you can provide a sort function for the type of values you know will be in it, but when you're writing the standard default sort function, there's only one type that you can convert all the other types to safely and simply in the most predictable way, which is strings.
Like many shitty things in the world it appears to be incited by Russians https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/world/2023/jan/27/burning-of-quran-in-stockholm-funded-by-journalist-with-kremlin-ties-sweden-nato-russia
I don't think the post is saying who's right is simple, but that both of them need to do more research until there's enough context to perform a proper assessment. In the situation shown there is not enough information to determine what the facts are and it's bad for either of them to form an opinion on incomplete context. I agree with the counterpoint, if the situation is vague, do more research first.
Calling them psychologists is giving them too much credit, but you're right that the companies trying to trick them are putting tons of resources into it.
I'll give them one thing which is that they're very creatively stupid
