My washing machine has a wheel to select multiple, heat-specific programs but also has a “cold” switch for other programs. I seldom use the heat specific ones, unless I’m particularly interested in a hot wash.
So I guess that the mileage may vary by country (I’m in Spain) and how old a washing machine is (mine is quite old).
Not trying to defend Russia, but the concept of a Pyrrhic Victory has existed for quite some time.
There’s a tiny game called Loop Hero where your hero goes on a literal loop around the world, facing enemies as they go and while you craft a world of out existence. Pretty fun.
Not OP, but wren sounds amazing. Thanks for sharing!
Apple won, Epic lost.
From other comments, it seems that there’s regional pricing in place. In Spain, it’s around 20 euros.
My company pays it for me. My use cases are split between new development, refactoring and debugging.
For new code, given that our code base is proprietary but very extensive, it provides nice code snippets that would be a pain to write by hand (it’s mostly C code) such as test code
I can focus on the concepts and have the autocomplete do the rest for me. I swap keypresses for reviewing code, which is not bad.
For refactoring, I seldom use it because I haven’t found an use case for it. Most of the changes involve moving code around, adding glue or deleting dead code.
For debugging, I sometimes use the chat to get documentation on public APIs from Microsoft or other places. I use this documentation to check for invariants and to reduce the scope of what I’m trying to find out.
