No, what it should do is:
This way you can stop the plate manually at any position but when operating microwave in the usual way you get the benefit of the cup always pointing the right way.
What I would like to know is if we will ever have microwaves that stop the spinning plate in the same place that they started. It's XXI century, I want to take out my cup as easily as I've put it in.
Correct me if I'm wrong but lots of game developers simply do bootcamps or short courses where they learn Unity. They don't have background in software development and switching tools/languages will require lot of learning from them. They will only switch when using Unity will actually become unaffordable. Bigger studios that can afford to retrain people/hire new experts can change tools like that, smaller studios will just keep using Unity.
I think the best way would be to re-record the audio. Laugh track usually overlaps the dialog a bit so it's impossible to get rid of it. You just have to find some actors and have them read the script. The casts of most sitcons are not that big. You will need like what? 10 people? You can probably do it with your friends. Then just add some basic sound effects like door closing and cars starting. A bit of work but doable.
Did the researches issue official 'told ya' already or is it still pending?
No, the definition says 'especially one that is short-lived'. It means that things that are not short-lived can still be fads. It's clearly an optional attribute. The key attributes are 'intense', 'widely shared'.
You're focusing too much on the 'short lived' part and not enough on the 'intense' and 'without basis in qualities' parts.
No, it was a fad in the sense that people got too exited about it and started using it where it didn't fit. Later they realized that and now start moving away from it. At least that how I would understand someone saying that "OOP is a fad". It's not some batshit crazy statement proving that someone is an idiot you're trying to make it out to be.
But it is a fad. Rust for example is not a truly OOP language. There are more ways to do software than OOP and slowly the OOP fad is going away. It has and will have it's uses but using OOP for everything was a fad that most people are getting over now.
It's still news today because every time heat pumps are mentioned someone will say that 'they are nice but it's too cold to use them where I live'.
I assume it's in the US? So you warn all the other drivers? Is it by flashing long beams like in Europe?
Most microwaves I use (at home and work) have 30sec increment buttons so I always stick to 10 second increments and no, they don't end when they started.
