Former President Carter, dead at 100. https://www.cnn.com/2024/12/29/us/former-president-jimmy-carter-death/index.html

I'm sorry to hear that. I've been dealing with several health incidents with my mother the last few months, so I've been preparing for the worst, but I know I'm not ready for it. I can only imagine what you're going through right now.

I went to a German restaurant once. The first thing I noticed on the menu was Polish sausage. The discussion went downhill from there, and would probably not go over well on the forum.

Expect nothing beyond what was sold to you at the time you bought it. Anything further is a bonus. Thanks for another update that I didn't have to pay for!

Or is simply level-headed enough to become a mod, instead of reactionary like a number of the community.

Exactly. That's kind of my point. He wasn't interested enough to continue being involved. Yep. Their work matters. They don't.

Or He had options, but didn't have options? Glad the he made the choice he didn't make, then. By the way, why don't we see Orville and Wilbur's opinions on the current Boeing situation? Why don't I see Robert Goddard's thoughts on SpaceX? Their ideas should matter, right?

Gotta love the fact the community wants to hear what Nate has to say, while pointing out that everything he says is a lie and cannot be trusted.

If Harvester wanted to be involved, perhaps he wouldn't have traded his involvement for cash and walked away?

So, how many times do we have to do the autopsy before we conclude that this time isn't going to be the one to bring the patient back?

"CNN has informed us that they plan to broadcast the first two episodes of the CNN series on the 7th of April, starting at 9pm ET/PT and then the third and fourth programmes on the 14th of April at the same time. This is subject to change if a big news story happens and disrupts the schedule, but these are the planned dates. The series is called Space Shuttle Columbia: The Final Flight. "

If that’s the one I think it is, it should be airing on CNN in April or May.

Henry Kissinger, at 100 https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/dr-henry-kissinger-dies-age-013400447.html

I remember parts of it. From some documentaries I've seen. Lead singer at a concert I went to in college: "Do you remember the '70s? We don't!"

Let's say that there is absolutely perfect communication (whatever that means to you). There's no lack in the flow of information; you know exactly what is going on with every single bit of development; every management decision is laid bare; you know the status of every single bug and each feature; anything that you could ever possibly know is open and posted in your favorite format and location. Every message is clearly worded, with no possibility of misinterpretation. What do you get out of it? Is it going to make the game better? Is it going to make the releases faster? Does it let you influence the process? Is it going to get your $50 back? Seriously, what do you get out of it that you aren't going to get anyway?

I'm literally annoyed at this.

It's reporting the status as of 9/14 but wasn't posted until the next day because it took time to write it up, or it was written up the day before posting and no one caught it before posting?

That's missing a couple steps I learned back in the '80s. 1. Get under the desk. 2. Place your head between your legs. 3. Kiss your ___ goodbye.

No, we should take it as they don't intend to release any more hotfixes. They intend to release patches with updates and bugfixes as development proceeds. Intending to release more hotfixes would imply that they are also planning to release more broken patches, which is clearly absurd unless one takes the position that they are doing whatever they are doing out of malice. "I want cheese" does not in any way equate to "I expect someone is going to bring me some cheese". But anyway, the original point was the complaint that they did exactly what they said they would and now we're here spinning in circles again, so... have a nice day.

Ok, read through this post: The post references the "Hotfix Summer" post. It does not refer to any of the posts from the preceding three days, three months, three years, three hour tours, whatever. It references a single post. The clarification came within half an hour, after three posts expressing a desire for more hotfixes and one question if there would be more. I'd say that's working pretty quick to handle expectations. But that's still beside the point that all of this was said months ago, well before you complained about them releasing two hotfixes when they said they were going to release hotfixes. Actually, none of those state any expectation that there will be more hotfixes, simply that they would like more, and one direct question of whether there would be more. But again, those were within the half hour before the clarification, and not almost three months later, so, kind of not really relevant to keep bringing up.

Sigh. Ok, so the phrase "Hotfix Summer" was used on the 30th, which is what you referenced in your post earlier. Less than half an hour later, it was clarified that only two hotfixes were expected. Yet you still posted today that there were only two hotfixes released during "Hotfix Summer". That's what this is about. Not about anyone else's expectations prior to the use of "Hotfix Summer" and the clarification about it. That's completely irrelevant to the subject. It's about your expectation or desire for more hotfixes after being told there weren't, as well as complaints that the company isn't clearly communicating while demonstrating the exact problem of ignoring what they say and inserting your own meaning.

Nate's update: 15:55 30 June 2023 Dakota's clarification: 16:21 30 June 2023 Less than half an hour. Some post complaining that they did exactly what they said they would: 21 September 2023 Almost 3 months to come to terms with it... and yet, here we are.

They did 1, saying they were expecting to release 2 hotfixes. (You know, setting customer expectations.) The did 2, releasing two hotfixes. As for 3, they get complaints they did exactly what they said they were going to do. Damned if they do, damned if they don't.
