  • I doubt they’ll call it a failure regardless of how it does.

    If anything it’s a great money maker for WWE. How’s it a failure for them by any means? They’re making more for giving less. They can sell the library elsewhere to make more. Unless you’re speculating it’s a failure for ESPN in which case it remains to be seen.

    WWE could care less if people buy the PLEs since they have a guaranteed payment from the deal.

    They’re also towards the (seemingly) tail end of a hot period that lasted around the same, if not, longer than the attitude era. It was also even more profitable even accounting for inflation.

    WWE has no reason to worry until the last year or so of the new deal. Nothing matters until then. They will make a ton of money and be immensely profitable.

    Edit: Content and the cost being worth it is continually debated and yet sports continually pay more in rights fees while everything else seemingly gets less. This falls close enough to sports to fall in the loss-leader category of wanting to have the programming for prestige to build the brand as opposed to directly making money.

    Think about sports rights and events like that. Millions of dollars in rights fees that don’t get made back even in advertising, etc. It means a lot for station X to have something like the NBA, how much it means to have WWE PLEs remain to be seen for ESPN.






  • I use GitHub Copilot from work. I generally use Python. It doesn’t take away anything at least for me. It’s big thing is tab completion; it saves me from finishing some lines and adding else clauses. Like I’ll start writing a docstring and it’ll finish it.

    Once in a while I can’t think of exactly what I want so I write a comment describing it and Copilot tries to figure out what I’m asking for. It’s literally a Copilot.

    Now if I go and describe a big system or interfacing with existing code, it quickly gets confused and tends to get in the weeds. But man if I need someone to describe a regex, it’s awesome.

    Anyways I think there are free alternatives out there that probably work as well. At the end of the day, it’s up to you. Though I’d so don’t knock it till you try it. If you don’t like it, stop using it.











  • Interesting update.

    I went to the post office and asked about trading them in or something. They told me that they’re good for postcards forever.

    Each printed stamp has the print date on it. He said that they honor the value on the date it was printed. So because it was 51 cents and that would mail a postcard on the print date, they would be honored to mail a postcard just like a postcard stamp: forever.

    I’m honestly surprised. I asked if he was sure, he said 100% and pointed to his post office uniform.

    Hopefully they work lol. If they do: I learned something.
