Change your email provider? Run your own email like people should?

This isn't a practical suggestion for the vast majority of the population.

Others note the land and water use issue vut it seems there are a lot of other crops that would be bigger targets on those fronts.

It's very likely other teams are working on other crops, and this just happens to be a high profile early success.

... it would sync overwriting the currently deployed version in qa. I obviously don’t want this.

Then don't allow the deployed software to be overwritten while tests are running? Your test environment should be treated as a singleton. Your CI system shouldn't be able to affect the deployment while it's being used.

It's almost a decade old now, but I enjoyed playing Catlateral Damage back in the day.

Stealth was necessary in the early chapters of Death Stranding. As you get access to better equipment it becomes less necessary, but the early game was definitely the most stressful stealth experience I think I've had in gaming.

This is a great tool. I landed on Jetbrains mono with Ubuntu mono in second place. I've been using the latter for many years so it's interesting to find something I like better.

it’s all the more frustrating when you see a company dedicating resources to shutting them down.

Yes, definitely sucks when they do that. I struggle to understand why unless there's some legal reason to protect all of your intellectual property instead of just the stuff that's still making money.

The app may be closed-source, but the data is all markdown, which should be easy to move to other apps.

The reason they don’t re-release video games or old movies is because they don’t want you enjoying old things.

You're assuming nefarious intent. I suspect the reality is that it's not worth the rights holders' time or money to invest in re-releasing old titles that very few people would buy.

The recommendation to make small, focused changes and commit frequently are good practices for using git as well. Any changes a developer has locally are effectively a branch, so I don't see much of a difference between the two approaches, at least in the context of this article.

Tetris is an interesting one because you've got 3+ decades of variations on the original, but the original is still the best. I'd argue it's a perfect game.
