  • I think the reason is as simple as flamboyant outfits being easily available.

    Two hundred years ago, a flamboyant outfit indicated you did minimum manual work. As that’d destroy the drip, and it was also quite expensive. While commoners would wear often brown/grey work outfits.

    It’s the same reasons for why it used to be in to be white/pale, as that indicated you’d stay inside all day rather than working the fields. Now it’s in to be tan, as that indicates you’re able to sunbath rather than work in an office all day long





  • A big part of games taking up more and more space is due to higher resolution assets. Creating installers only installing needed assets would drastically reduce the size for anyone not playing on extreme or whatever they call the maximum resolution.

    But games do still tend to be among the archetypes of software, which hits bottlenecks that needs performance optimisations. You only have whatever hardware your end user has, you can’t just buy a bigger server… well Google Stadia tried




  • Swiss chocolate isn’t the good stuff, somehow it’s branded so people feel so.

    If you’re going for the absolute top, local chocolateries is the desire - They’re good all over the continent.

    But the step just underneath handmade artisan chocolate is Amedei and Neuhaus - Italian and Belgian respectively.

    When we get into general higher consumer grade chocolate, then Swedish and Finnish chocolate tends to mock Swiss chocolate. Marabou and Frazer over Lindt any day of the week.

    Toms and Pergale floors for slightly fancier stuff

    Chocolate isn’t as dominated by singular countries as some people think, but Swiss products are generally over priced and better products can usually be found within Europe




  • because the AI industry is “building AI-agent integrations into production infrastructure faster than it’s building the safety architecture to make those integrations safe”.

    How dense are some people? No they don’t build integrations to your prod environment, you hand them the access willynilly. I was in an AI related greenfield project 2 years ago, there’s several reasons why communication with our db happened through an API. The primary one, control.
