Usually something in the testing process, or perhaps the testing process itself is lacking. For medical applications it should be pretty rigorous as the consequences if something slips through can be very bad.

If this is a new feature, then every step of the process designed to make sure it works failed. Which those are precisely will depend on the project, it could mean that multiple devs and QA had a look and either missed it or didn't think to test for it. Where I work the developer implementing a feature tests it, then 2 other developers review the code, one of them also tests it, then it goes to dedicated QA who will test it more in depth and also do regression tests (checking that existing functionality still works). The testing QA member also checks with another QA member about anything they may have missed in their test steps. But this can vary heavily, also depending on the general model of development cycle (agile or waterfall) etc - though I'm working on much less critical software, no ones going to get injured even if nothing works correctly.

If the bug was introduced through an update to this or another feature, their regression tests might be lacking.

It's also possible (though imo extremely negligient for such an application) that they don't have dedicated QA in the first place, and even don't require their devs to test comprehensively in place of dedicated QA.

Or, they found the bug, but management didn't want to allocate the resources to fix it.

Imo something like this slipping through shows negligience of some form, it's impossible to guarantee bug-free software, but this is not some obscure, hard to reproduce error.

Mostly annoying, largely because it looks very stuttery to me. When it's integrated seemlessly, it's fine (more often the case for background related cgi). Even in something like chainsaw man which did it pretty well I still found the cgi in the action scenes grating, it took me out of it a little.

Full cgi i mostly get annoyed at the stutter, and I like the style most full cgi anime have a lot less than most 2D anime.

Yes, that is what I said? Their model now is fine because it's not retroactive, their original announced one was absolutely not and no one sane would want to use their engine anymore after that.

Honestly, that is perfectly fine as a business model, being able to choose between per install and revenue cut is actually very developer friendly, and changing licensing terms for future versions doesn't really fuck anyone over.

If only they hadn't shattered everyones trust with their previous announcement so now no one sane will want to use unity anymore.

No, because they cause plenty of lasting damage.

Given that apparently only very few kids that get puberty blockers bc of gender dysphoria actually decide to not transition, we should probably lower the time that even trans kids get them for by a lot and just let them go through the puberty they want already.

Fax is unencrypted. Encrypted versions apparently exist but that's not what Japan and Germany use.

And that aside my mom regularly gets sensitive patient data via fax at her workplace because the number is one digit off some doctor's (bonus points for the inverse also happening, and her also working with sensitive data). Far less likely to happen with email. At most encrypted fax is equally secure.

I went to bed at 5-6 am for a few years. I didn't have sleep issues whatsoever. Slept the same amount and felt just as rested (more if anything) as now where I have a "normal" sleep schedule.

There's also people that, yknow, work at night, whose sleep might start at 9.

I don't think it's necessarily wrong to not limit yourself greatly on what u do based on if someones sleeping as long as you avoid very loud things (a pleasant fuck you to my mom (love you) for insisting she needs to vacuum at like 11 every second day when I had that sleep schedule), but your reasoning is just bull.

You kinda do, as anyone in tech that has ever had to communicate with customers can attest to.

Going off google the energy required to heat the oceans by 1 degree is approximately 5.4*10^21 kj, or 1389 trillion GWh, or the energy output of over 170 million nuclear power plants over an entire year. Safe to say putting all the server farms in the world in there still isn't going to make a dent.

It might affect local temperature by a relevant amount if there's too many in one spot perhaps, and that could be pretty bad. But generally, saving energy is a good thing.

Yeah, not once have i had any need for a usb c port on my pc? Not having to deal with orientation is nice, but I've also had the experience that usb-c is worse at keeping a connection, and I have so many cables with USB-A at one end anyway.
