I bought Terraria when I was really into Minecraft. Didn’t like it at first because the only Minecraft thing is “pick up blocks and crafting”, but once I gave it a fair shake I absolutely loved it.
Fuck, now I have the game music stuck in my head from thinking about the game!
I have one. It’s a fucking lie.
I’m already holding a sandwich and a drink. Are you expecting me to put one down to hold my wang?
It’s a little worrisome, actually. Professionally written software still needs a human to verify things are correct, consistent, and safe, but the tasks we used to foist off on more junior developers are being increasingly done by AI.
Part of that is fine - offloading minor documentation updates and “trivial” tasks to AI is easy to do and review while remaining productive. But it comes at the expense of the next generation of junior developers being deprived of tasks that are valuable for them to gain experience to work towards a more senior level.
If companies lean too hard into that, we’re going to have serious problems when this generation of developers starts retiring and the next generation is understaffed, underpopulated, and probably underpaid.
Any recommendations on shopping for an Android set top box? Every time I start down the rabbit hole I feel like I’m just getting AI-written SEO scam fake review sites.
I absolutely adored a low budget game called Firewatch. It’s first person and your only contact with another human is through a radio. You’re running away from your life and work for a summer in a fire watch tower in a national park.
The story is nice and the characters are interesting and flawed and relatable.
Buy it on sale and have a fun evening or two with it.
You can’t even see what brand the fridge is! What a stupid captcha.
If it’s a Samsung it’s definitely the one with the shortest lifespan.
“But why isn’t there a restriction on criminal convictions for being president?”
A: before now, nobody thought we needed to explicitly write them.
We live in insane times.
Police? They help exactly the people they’re paid to help.
Support cheques (direct deposit is optional for practically everything).
Sending official, original documents (anything related to passport applications).
Physical copies where required by contract (things like Strata AGM packages, some loan/investment documents).
The days of regularly sending your mom a handwritten letter are surely gone, but there’s still enough need for a postal service to exist.
I think where they really fucked up was with the junk mail. They got drunk off making money delivering pounds of paper advertising every day, and as people grew to hate it and opted out, and as businesses saw it wasn’t worth it, all of a sudden the junk mail side hustle no longer subsidized the cheap postal fees.
“I think there is a very real possibility that they’ll do exactly the wrong thing and tax the very folks and the very corporations that are going to make the investments that will actually raise income over time.”
This quote sums up this dumb shit’s opinions rather nicely.
Of COURSE it’s Karlach
They’re changing a bunch of things about how the Office apps work. They’re doing a similar thing with Outlook. There’s also now “New Outlook” that they push you towards, which looks a little bit fresher yet is also missing features from the last version.
I’m assuming they’re changing something architecturally about how the apps are put together, but the only thing I’ve actually seen is the bugs and all the headaches that come from migrating everybody to what’s basically a brand new app.
Or if you could mod a personality onto any of the NPCs.
After the weird scream/singing Viva Las Vegas it might be over, my man.
Some people refuse to shop around.
Like watching Napster panhandling under an overpass.
Can you elaborate on a specific piece of policy?
