Where's my crew-served armaments? When do I get to own a cruiser?

Only for the best submarines.

The true tossup is actually mercury or lead.

Both insanely useful metals with a massive variety of helpful traits.

And the universe made them poisonous to us as a big "FUCK YOU".

The answer is that it doesn't have to be but it's simpler that way.

A transcript has to be written for a YouTube video essay, and there's not really a major reason you couldn't turn your transcript and footage into an article with a series of embedded gifs or graphics. It's just much simpler for creators to dedicate their time to one medium and not worry about losses in translation or similar issues.

Optimist take: Because there is none! (whoo)

And steamdeckOS... whenever valve decides they're gonna release it for general use.

Is it possible to get the joke at runtime using the spectre exploit?

The 'document' part also seems to be insanely hit-or-miss from my amateur experience. Self-documenting design/code is... well, not. Auto-generated documentation is also usually just as bad IMO. Producing good documentation really is a skill in and of itself.

Also small personal opinion: If your abstraction layers or algorithms are based off a technical concept, you should probably attribute that concept and provide links to further research, to eliminate future ambiguity or in case your reader lacks that background. Future you will probably thank you and anyone like me who immediately gets lost in jargon soup will also be thankful.

I think you're assuming I mean "there are no fast and hard rules, period", when I mean "the structure of each group is mostly up to what the internal community decides is best".

There is no system that is perfect, but we've had the entirety of human history to show that authoritarian systems are consistently bad for the humans, like flesh between the cogs. I'd much rather a web of communities in solidarity and negotiation, using their collective knowledge to forge onward.

You use the old ladies on the balconies. They see everything.

Or whatever means you wanna do, there's no hard and fast rule on how the system is structured - just that hierarchies be limited and only exist as long as necessary, and authority remain as evenly distributed throughout the community as possible.
