It is specially useful, it is not especially/generally useful lol
It could be a typo, though I think when we say something "isn't specially/specifically/particularly useful" we mean "compared to the set of all features, specifically this subset feature is not that useful" not that the feature isn't useful for specific things
The uphill battle of unleaded avgas leaves both the main players in the industry and the regulators themselves looking bad—but in a banal kinda way.
I enjoy AVWeb on YT for AV news (really, I just enjoy the humor/personality of Paul Bertorelli lol), here are a few insightful videos that summarize the story:
Small story about the time I read the collection Feynman's letters (I think it's a book called Perfectly Reasonable Deviations from the Beaten Track)
The beginning of the book contained a lot of cute letters between him and his wife Arline. I was curious how much of the book would be this, considering I know she died of TB, so I flipped ahead and saw a letter to her quite a few more pages in, so I figured she must survive until at least that point. I continued reading and was emotionally caught off guard when she died only a couple of pages later. I'm not sure why I was so distraught at the death of someone I did not know who died 80 years ago, but I was looking forward to, and had the expectation of, a few more cute letters between them.
When I got to the letter that I had originally flipped to, it was the one he was writing after her death as a form of therapy to himself.
FWIW, they had a very cute relationship and the letters are worth reading for that alone.
I also haven't heard of it, but I'm curious of the "when acquiring it" part of the quote.
Did the current owner not create the site? Did they acquire an anonymous file sharing site and are now shutting it down for the predictable anonymous file sharing issues?
Perhaps it's an English translation issue or something, but, in common parlance, the word "acquire" means to buy or obtain from elsewhere. (I don't think they are referring to the domain name itself, because that has nothing to do with the complaints listed.)
According to basic Google searches, their revenue is literally higher now than 2016.
Now they have less than 1/3 of the active users compared to then, but their revenue is closer to 1bn then it was then.
It does seem like a failure because they were so popular and culturally relevant at their peak, whereas now I don't hear about them at all. But, I still think they are printing money and have one of the best "outstanding data collection to the public" apps ever
I like Kaze's content. There is something fun about how hacky and ridiculous it is to put that much effort into Super Mario 64 optimizations and brand new levels.
This video is more technical than the others, but I suggest checking out his other videos if the idea of Super Mario 64 development piques your interest.
"[Coral larvae] don't have ears but somehow they're attracted to healthy reef sounds," he said.
"Maybe they can sense the vibrations with their cilia [tiny hair-like appendages], but we don't know.".
This sounds like more of a philosophical question, but is there a difference between hearing and sensing vibrations? Is there a certain level of signal processing required for hearing? Like, I can sense vibrations with my fingers, but I wouldn't call that hearing.
1. He doesn't invalidate any of his points in the way you think he does
2. In the most generous interpretation of your reading of him, he frames that amounts over the average 40 hours as sometimes being "underwork", which is absolutely something the some of the "overwork" camp denies
He might have good points, or he might have bad points, but either way it's not because of your additions to the discussion just now. (i.e. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.)
