Dude, I was a kid in the 70s and I remember playing with it. We all knew it was an over glorified "choose your own adventure" 8-track audiobook player.

We put normal 8 tracks in it all the time - it was hilarious.

Saying it "faked AI" is a bit disingenuous


Inspired by Python? Like they overheard someone talking about Python before they implemented some feature? all I see are "{", "}", and ";" everywhere ;-)


`init`, `self`, the comment syntax, `and`, `or`, and the import syntax are all pretty clearly python-inspired, to name a few. "Curly braces or no curly braces" is not the only syntax decision a language has to make.

There's obviously a lot more inspiration from typescript, but they do list python second in the title, so that's fair.


I think it's just the "print ()" syntax


California DMV motor vehicle code, in part says

25251. (a) Flashing lights are permitted on vehicles as follows: (1) To indicate an intention to turn or move to the right or left upon a roadway, turn signal lamps and turn signal exterior pilot indicator lamps and side lamps permitted under Section 25106 may be flashed on the side of a vehicle toward which the turn or movement is to be made.

If you feel that the mini is in violation by failing to do it's most basic of job of indicating left or right, file a complaint with the investigations division, and this state with the largest number of car registrations can fix it by forcing a recall or blocking registrations until it it fixed by the mfg https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/dmv-complaints-ffinv-1/


From what I have seen of American cars, this one is completely compliant. The horrible part about this car is that the signals are red and that they are the same light as the rear/brake lights. Which is apparently extremely common in the US.


Yeah that's how a lot of cars are here. It really isn't confusing at all, unlike putting any arrow that points the opposite direction that you're trying to indicate.


How is it "horrible"? It's not confusing at all


If a car is braking and signalling at the same time, isn't that confusing?


I can't say I've ever even thought about it because it's never been a problem. I mean it's a blinking light


I'm let down that "oregano" is not a system command


I was going to say "but that's an IRC server", but last second noticed that one is called "oragono" :D (and way younger either way)


Now all I can think of is Futurama's Zapp Brannigan declaring war on Tarantulon 6 against the Spidarians http://futurama.wikia.com/wiki/Tarantulon_6


We created an Android AND iOS farm for automated game testing. You don't need to root iOS to get it done - it's just a PITA to do it right. You end up needing an attached Mac running XCode to send commands & you can't use the internet connection through the wire so we set up a local secure wifi network.

The only devices we had to "root" (aka put in developer mode) were some android devices that wouldn't allow us to change the HOSTS file otherwise ;-)

I'm glad that AWS is now offering this type of service, I can't wait to try it out.
