Good code is self-explanatory. You should only comment your code if it does something unexpectedly complicated.
The code shows what is being done. The comments should explain the why.
What does coffee have to do with anything?
In a MAME machine maybe, but the original arcade cabinets all have custom hardware.
Yeah, the hardware in a console is mass produced, the hardware in an arcade cabinet is made in relatively small batches. Mass producing something is always a lot cheaper per unit due to economies of scale.
But all it does is remind people how it’s not any of those things. It’s like an uncanny valley for food; the more like meat you make it the more attention you draw to all the ways it’s not. If you make it look like something else people will compare it to that thing instead of judging it on its own merit.
That works great until it doesn’t, and then you’re fucked.
But with those ‘user friendly’ UI’s no one knows what they’re doing. The user doesn’t know regardless and now the expert they ask for help has no clue either.
It isn’t half bad but it does use a lot of terminology
That’s why it’s user friendly. Try configuring one of those “user friendly” consumer grade crap routers. Due to the use non-standard descriptions in a misguided effort to be user friendly no one actually has any clue what settings actually do.
If they dock successfully with the ISS, and before they leave they think there’s any risk of lack of helium, they won’t fly Starliner home. The crew of two could just stay safe on the ISS, and a Crew Dragon (with two empty seats) could be flown up to bring the Astronauts home safe.
Imagine the PR nightmare for Boeing if they have to send a competitors spacecraft up to return the astronauts they launched? I’d almost wish for this to happen just for the embarrassment it would cause Boeing.
Now, that’s just a recent development. 20 years ago it was a common format for images on the interwebs.
The same purpose as a PNG or JPEG?
You know that GIF is not specifically a format for animations, right? It’s just a lossless image format.
Just knowing that it can be done at all would be huge win.
They also die when they get eaten.
Turritopsis dohrnii would like to have a chat.
Ground coffee starts to lose flavor after about 15 minutes.
You still can.
I’m just pointing out that your paranoia is out of ignorance, instead of a sound understanding of the technology.
If it works anything like Apple’s Find My (which it appears to do) then no you won’t be trackable.
I’m a software engineer and while I do have 2 monitors I have absolutely no RGB anything. Just a nice clean setup. My main monitor is on a wall-mounted arm so it appears to just float above my desk. My MacBook is hidden behind the other monitor, which is in portrait and on an arm so it floats just above my desk. Wireless mouse and keyboard (magic mouse and magic keyboard with numeric, both in black/aluminium), no visible wires. One single thunderbolt cable to connect my MacBook to a dock that’s hidden below my desk, which hooks up to my monitors, ethernet, amplifier, etc.
34” 5k2k ultrawide as main monitor and a 27” 4k in portrait for documentation.
