I’m pretty sure that at the time that photo was taken he was in the middle of running for political office and hiding the fact his money came from drug trafficking. I assume that look you described was exactly what he was going for.

Nice work! I tried this out a few months ago (maybe longer?) and it was still a bit too rough around the edges but I liked the concept. I’ll download it again today and give the new update a spin!

Mostly just seems genuinely positive haha

And don’t forget the 20oz bottles too!

Hold on, that’s not fair, we also use it to measure how much Coca Cola is in the bottle…hmm never mind that’s not helping… let me start over…we also use it for drugs! Wait, shit…

Funny thing is most of them are good reviews not bad lol

It’s funny reading these mundane “the service was great, good steak” kind of review and knowing it’s written by a billionaire drug kingpin 😂

Yeah that makes sense, that’s right about when they started teaching English in schools from grade school on. That’s why everyone under 40 tends to speak great English but over 40 and it’s hit or miss.

Makes sense considering that statistically 50% of people are of below average intelligence…

Yeah in my experience pretty much everyone under the age of around 40 in any major city speaks English there. Cities like Berlin sometimes it seems like half the people there don’t even speak German haha

“Assistant VP” or “Assistant to the VP”? lol

This is a person that appears to actually think XML is great, so I wouldn’t expect them to have valid opinions on anything really lol

Sounds about right for an academic computer scientist, they are usually terrible software engineers.

At least that’s what I saw from the terrible coding practices my brother learned during his CS degree (and what I’ve seen from basically every other recent CS grad entering the workforce that didn’t do extensive side projects and self teaching) that I had to spend years unlearning him afterwards when we worked together on a startup idea writing lots of code.

I was in the “remember” group for the Berenstain Bears, but in this case I only remember ever seeing the logo on the right (the real one).

That is…unfortunate.

I’ve been thinking about learning Rust after hearing about it’s benefits, but was put off by its ugly type syntax that I hate from C++ and the whole “fighting with the borrow checker to do simple stuff” thing. But now it seems it also has the terrible bloated dependency culture I hate from JavaScript too!

IMO any security benefits from the increased memory safety are immediately nullified by the security nightmare that is hundreds of statically compiled dependencies…

I guess I’ll keep waiting on the sidelines and see how the standard lib and dependency culture evolves.

Wow I when you said 268 dependencies I figured JavaScript was involved…

Is the culture of Rust/Cargo getting as bad as JS/NPM these days or is this developer just using an insane amount of dependencies? I don’t have any experience working with Rust so I’m genuinely curious. I stay away from JS in part due to the insane amount of dependencies every non-trivial project has.

I’ve built projects in many languages and other than a few JS/React/ReactNative projects which seem to have unavoidably massive node_modules folders, I’ve never had more than maybe 10 dependencies in a project ever…

That’s not a counter-example…Team Xecuter also made millions of dollars and Gary was running various sites that explicitly promoted and helped people with piracy (much more directly illegal than anything Yuzu was doing). Whether Gary has the money to pay his plea agreement in his federal criminal case (not a mutually agreed upon settlement in a civil case like Yuzu) is irrelevant to my point that the only people getting in big trouble are the ones making a ton of money off of it.

Also it was only “an easy couple million” from Yuzu because they chose to settle the case immediately rather than fighting it. They certainly had the money to fight it if they had $2.4 million to pay in a settlement they agreed to, so I assume they were more across the line into illegal territory than it seemed or they wouldn’t have folded so fast.

No they can’t get an easy couple million from any emulator lol, only from emulator developers making millions of dollars from their emulator…which is basically only Yuzu.

Yep and it seems to line up with the rise of the Steam Deck and all the discussion around how viable gaming on Linux is these days. I think there were/are a LOT of people that only stick with Windows due to gaming. Hopefully as gaming support continues to improve on Linux more of those people will make the switch.

Now I’m curious, what was the first worst job you ever had?

Love Venjent! ❤️

He has so many bangers and his music videos are awesome!
