Embark’s Art Director Robert Sammelin has said in the past about matchmaking: “It’s quite complex, so we do analyze behavior and match accordingly.”

And then one YouTuber's anecdotal experience. Wow, sounds conclusive.

This budget will be a tax on income, not big business, rightly or wrongly. The Treasury already learnt that lesson last time - they won't repeat the mistake.

TalkTalk. They're terrible. Was thinking of going to Virgin Fibre, honestly, but have been avoiding it.

Cats have the right to roam, whereas dogs don't. The law treats cats in a weird way that doesn't apply to dogs.

This, speaking as a dog owner. Also I get annoyed a lot at seeing dog shit everywhere, so I get it.

Cats are also annoying, in so far they're held to a different standard, but what are you gonna do? 🤷‍♂️

Edit: tbh, as often the issue is inconsiderate people.

Can confirm. Just bought a gaming chair to replace an office chair that lost one of its arm rests.

Just buy an office chair.

I mean, it has Corbyn clusterfuck written all over it, really.

No, no, that can't be right. Randy said the game was super optimal. 🤔

I guess that means I'll buy it when the full story is finished and all the episodes released? 🤷 I just don't have any interest in buying half a story.

Edit: okay, read the article. Kind of odd, in so far as they already have everything finished, but they're doling out the game in pieces. Maybe as a kind of marketing strategy?

I don't really get it, but at least they have the game done and are planning to release it at a reasonable price. 👍

I'm sure Silksong will be good - Shovel Knight was good. But I wonder if they've kept the price relatively low to move into the impulse buy territory, because even they know the amount of hype around the game is flash in the pan.

Speaking primarily as a Go developer, what I see is companies cutting costs, and Java is battle-tested and there's a tonne of talent out there who know the language. If Java in your area already pays more, I'd say you've already got your answer.

Besides which, if Go truly does eat the Java world in the next couple of years (it won't), the language is still young enough for you to pick it up fairly quickly. Especially with the help of AI.

Shades of this imo:

talks were going well until the BMA resident doctors’ committee told its co-chairs that it could not approve the government’s deal because it did not address the BMA’s demand that resident doctors receive a 29% pay rise over the next few years.

The BMA seem to be of the opinion that money is the deal breaker. As I understand it, negotiations were underway to improve conditions, but no dice.

I feel like they've misjudged the government or public sentiment, or both.
