The Stack Overflow Podcast - Games are good, mods are immortal

Following the success of the Mac Mini, Windows is getting into the tiny computer business. Oh, and it’s running on ARM chips. Oh, and Visual Studio and VS Code will now offer native ARM support.

Video games got a lot of us into programming thanks to their openness to mods. It’s what made The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind such a hit 20 years ago. 

Minecraft may live forever thanks to its modding community and parent-friendly tools. Just don’t be surprised when you have to ban local kids for virtual arson and murder. 

The old security exploit hits are still out there: cross-site scripting, SQL injection, and cross-site request forgery. Could be because 86% of developers do not view application security as a top priority.

Two great questions today: 

Is it illegal to ride a drunk horse?

 and a Lifeboat-worthy response from Markus Meskanen on 

Checking if a number is not in range in Python

Lost Debate - Ep 50 | TX Shooting, Police Reform, FL Social Media, NY Maps, PA Ballots, GA Races

Ravi, Cory, and Rikki start with the horrific school shooting in Texas, leaving 21 people dead: 19 of them, only 4th graders. The hosts address the resulting gun reform debate playing out across America before turning to another heated reform discussion: police accountability. We go through Biden’s new executive order and whether it’s a template worth applying on a wider scale. Then we jump into Florida’s soundly rejected social media free speech law, drawing the ire of Gov. DeSantis. Finally, we wrap up with a little politics roundup: chaotic new maps in New York, a mixed bag for Trump in Georgia, and modern-day hanging chads in Pennsylvania. 

[1:10] Texas Shooting / Gun Control

[24:09] Police Reform

[31:34] Florida Social Media

[38:55] Ravi's Radical Idea

[44:15] New York Maps and Primaries

Top Republican officials are offering thoughts, prayers locked doors, inaccurate stats and a call for more of the same defenses that haven't worked to address the problem of mass murders.

Consider This from NPR - Why Americans Feel The Toll Of High Inflation Beyond Gas Pumps & Grocery Stores

This is a fragile moment for the U.S. economy. Many people are feeling the steep rise of the cost of gas and groceries, and some are having to decide whether to buy food or fill up their tanks. Food banks and local non-profits are seeing more people than ever. And experts worry that the Federal Reserve's efforts to combat inflation by raising interest rates could tip the economy into recession.

NPR's Scott Horsley covers the big-picture economy, Chris Arnold covers housing and Brittany Cronin covers energy. They explain what sectors are feeling the most impact and how it's playing out for different people.

In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.
