This is a bit topical for me. Game performance seems to be a real problem as of late... It’s not uncommon for me to play “retro” games that run poorly on my 4-series Nvidia gpu. Not a game developer myself but this is definitely still a problem in 2025.

Yes, same experience. I recently played a "Wolfenstein" clone that frequently dipped into the the 30-60 fps range on my 3080. The original Wolfenstein used to run on a 386 if I'm not mistaken.

My first thought/question as well.

How do you ensure this? Are you suggesting more analysis pre-building the product, or doing things like increasing the price until you've effectively filtered out enough of the people you don't "want to deal with", assuming that works.

To be fair, it seems like the cloud development environment choice was driven by the scale of Stripe's organization.

Any other Simon Lizotte and/or disc golf fans here? :D

Hah, that is much fewer than I would have expected.

Too bad you can't do the same with phone numbers.

How would you rate the quality of the dubs?

Do you think it's usable for learning? Seems like you could end up with some quirky learnings.

Not OP, but I agree that this could lead to questionable learning outcomes, especially since Whisper isn’t that good for low-resource languages. It’s probably fine for languages like English/Spanish/Mandarin, though.

Wenn ist das nun Stück gitt und Schlottermeyer.

Oh cool, how would you compare this to DuckDB?

+1 for a reference to The Culture series :D

Clicking on the link without knowing what it was ahead of time was jarring, even not actively participating.

Not for me, at all. Do you generally avoid eye contact?

Lol no not generally ;)

Just did not expect to be gazing into the windows of someone's soul immediately. The widescreen monitor may have contributed.
