It could be a binary file, though that would probably make it smaller if anything.

I’m guessing the point was the developer didn’t invent some proprietary log that also contained a dump and other things that could conceivably be very large. That would also be terrible design, but managing to create hundreds of gigs of text in a game crash log is a special kind of terrible.

I was thinking the same thing. This seems like investigative journalism that’s more public and without the ethics and rigor part.

They are very much as a whole not negligible. They can be–people can get checks for cents sometimes. But they wouldn’t go on strike and sign a deal if it never amounted to anything. I’m not even in the industry and have a passing familiarity with the concept; I’ve just been reading about it and listening to people from it for years.

DGA also has residuals in their contract. IATSE might for some roles, but you can’t feasibly give everyone involved in a production residuals. The point of residuals is to hold over people in roles that are very fickle and can go years between jobs, like everyday working actors and writers. If you’re going years between jobs getting hired for craft services, your food might just suck.

It would be great if everyone could get a share, but that’s not realistic. Big productions can have thousands of people who work on them. Having to send the carpenter on a film a check for two cents yearly would create insane administrative overhead. There has to be a line somewhere.

While they are still insufficient, residuals do exist. It’s why SAG and WGA went on strike last year, since streaming residuals were (and to a degree still are) garbage. It’s not as directly tied to sales as if they received points, but with Hollywood accounting that’s a risk. Though if you’re talking about Nebula, maybe this is more about YouTube creators which is a different can of worms.

Matt Walsh read this comment and is crying and throwing up as a result.

Judging by how many numerical fields on mobile websites still give me the full keyboard, maybe not.

Marriage does not have to be religious, and it’s not exclusively religious in origin. Many millions of married yet irreligious people who had zero church involvement would take issue with that assertion.

I don’t see the point in doing this even if it was. It’s just semantics. We’d still need a legal shorthand for all the rights and responsibilities currently attached to marriage, as people would still want that. Then it’s just marriage by another name.

Also, I’m not sure any of these countries “force” any church to recognize a marriage they don’t agree with. That wouldn’t change, since I’m sure different churches would still disagree on which marriages count.

Does Hal Jordan manage this location?

Good point. I think you’re right.

Totally agree. If the restaurant closed down due to lack of interest in that cuisine in the area, then it’s probably not a good idea to try again.

I’d say the same if the last one just had really bad food or made people sick; it’s hard to make people separate that from the physical location rather than brand. This happened to a Chinese place where I grew up. Health department shut one down, so someone opened a new one at the same location. It was really good and had a spotless health record, but most people assumed it would still have the same issues so it failed.

To be fair, an oligarchy is a group. An oligarch is a single member of that group. If you’re going to be a pedant…

So all the straight players never mention their wives, girlfriends, or sexual conquests to their teammates? They just keep that to themselves? Bullshit. Straight people are never told to “keep their sexuality to themselves.”

Oracle is nothing if not consistent in providing shitty customer support across all sorts of products.

It’s been a while since I regularly watched LMG content, so I wasn’t really aware of how many videos they were churning out. Looking at it now, I would assume their staff was much larger than it is.

Ironically, the harassment/assault/retaliation stuff is the one area they’d benefit from being a bit more corporate. Obviously they aren’t capable of ending it for the purposes of basic human decency. Maybe a liability approach would get through…

This supports the notion that the issues with quality are due to overextended teams. It sounds like yet another workplace where upstairs decisions are made without consulting the people who will actually do the work, and so the rank and file have to constantly scramble to make up for that. I feel like LTT leadership decided a velocity of content to support certain goals rather than what their resources can actually do.

… And it also seems like they have not outgrown the “early joiners can do whatever they want to whomever they want” problem that plagues companies like this.

Very rarely. Physical intimacy in movies or TV is like a strong seasoning. In the right place, it can accentuate the flavor and bring it to another level. Otherwise, you’re just adding curry powder to a cherry danish.

That is exactly my point. It’s not worth asking because it doesn’t tell anyone anything they don’t already know. The ones employers ask are the same, though they want you to blow smoke up their ass about how it’s been your dream to write backend code for an insurance company since you were a kid.

I don’t like wasting time in interviews on questions or exercises that don’t help at least one party decide if the other will be a good fit. Unless you a hiring for a position where someone regularly needs to lie about why they’re engaging another party, these questions are rarely if ever valuable.

These are my least favorite questions, along with “what made you want to apply for this position?” I tried asking it back to a recruiter once (“why did you decide to contact me for an interview?”), and they didn’t really know what to say.

I would like to have the confidence of the realtor who marked 3050 Bluegrass Ave with “nice views”
