You can. There are physical , drm free, releases and drm free releases on gog :p No online required either. So yes, you can :)

A 5 bit long signed integer? What kind of weird system you using ? :p
As a software developer i know what iterative development means, its in our blood and brains ( or at least it should be ). Simulations can indeed only get you so far, and i agree sometimes you have to make things and take a plunge. However, and i would like to be really wrong here so correct me if im wrong, but other companies like nasa, do not just shoot shit up in space and hope for the best. They arent allowed to do so for a reason. They test and calculate everything very rigoursly to make sure itll hold up as expected. From thruster power, resistance to continues extreme heat from reentry, ...
All of that they do here, on earth, before shooting anything up into space. Otherwise things like the rover on mars would have needed like 20 tries instead of 2.
These are things that looks like spacex is just throwing out the window.
To take it back to software development, they are doing an iterative development ( which is very good for what they are doing! ) but their testing before production/release of software is so basic theyll just see how it responds out there. Thats a huge nono to me if youre going to end up crashing all those rockets in the sea killing a shit ton of nature in the process. Sometimes the means dont justify the costs to me, and this is one of them.
Yes, the booster catching was nice to see ( eventhough it nearly ended badly ) and its idea is very good and needed, but the way to get there is...messy.
Depends, im a power user that does all kind of things on my pc. Gaming but also other workloads, so ill be dual booting with linux as my main soon anyway.
But for pure gaming, ye linux might do depending on the games
Its almost always tools and programs used in their professional life. The 365 suite, adobe suite, fusion 360, simulation programs, ...
Yes i know there are free or alternative options, but they are never as good or powerful as the full on suites that have existed since the dawn of time.
Ive been running linux ( dual boot with windows ) on my work laptop for 9 months at this point and i love it. But sometimes, i do have to boot windows for one of the professional suite programs.
I love this meme, and nearly commented it myself to the top comment, but i learned an american badger != a honey badger :(
Specially this. How space x handles failures is a very hard nono in my book. "But we test in the field" is what space x says, and as a software developer its like saying "we test in production".
Yes youll get something use able faster, but its way way more costly in the long run and is nasty in between.
My arse they cant test this stuff on earth. We have simulations, models, calculations, test, everything. Yes, things can and will sometimes still fail when going in production ( in flight ) but you want to lower the risk of it failing cause its costly as fuck.
They dont seem to care though.
Also, im not saying what they are building towards is bad, it really really isnt, but their methods is... Bad
Maybe they wrote their own emulator
It makes sense to exist... In the 40's.
But with modern day society and how small the world has become, it makes no sense to me to still exist tbh..
Not all cops, and not everywhere in the world, are pigs. The world isn't that black and white
