It just depends on if you're doing coding on the lower levels or scripting gameplay features. One is a lot more focused on optimization then the other.
Being worried is different from it actually happening though. If we started executing 10% of the population each year, I think more than 10% of the people would be worried they're next.
At a random 10% everyone could and should be worried that they'd be in the next 10%. That's 10% chance of being executed per year! That's really bad!
It's not at all similar to a _rare_ phenomenon, or at least it _shouldn't_ be, but some people are inclined to treat very fringe risks (or at least some very fringe risks; there are likely more people worried about being killed by terrorism than food poisoning, say) as very great risks.
That's a pretty... strange example? 10% is fairly large odds that you'll be in the next batch, certainly high enough to cause worry. I would quite rationally shy away from any activity that gave me a 10% chance of death doing it.
The idea that 35+% of people are worried that they'll be the victim of terrorism is something that we should be worried about (heh). It suggests that people's risk assessment is completely unrelated to reality. I am as close to 0% worried as I could be that I'll be a victim of terrorism. Thinking otherwise is laughable. There are plenty of actually real things to be worried about...
This assumes software is a thing you build once and seal it off when it's finished.
What happens when you need to modify large portions of it? Fix security issues? Scale it up 20x? You can throw more tokens at it and grow it into a monstrous hulk. What if performance degrades due to its sheer weight?
I know humans aren't perfect and are capable of writing really bad unmaintainable code too, but this is just embracing that more. This feels like going further down the same route of how we ended up with 10MB websites that take many seconds to load. But yeah it will probably win over the market.
It's about impracticality, not morality. It doesn't make feasible sense to fix the whole world's economy in one go. And we shouldn't let imperfection get in the way of progress.
Another idea is that the window drifts slowly, so everyone gets an optimal time. Make the period non divisible by 7 so it doesn't line up on the same day of week every time.
So far I'm 2/2 for ok batteries, but we'll see in a few years! Weirdly I've had more problems with apple products with bloated batteries, I had to replace two macbook batteries and an ipad. The thing I worry most about with the Razer is how hot it gets.
