@nixCraft that is funny. I worked in Yahoo search and a common complaint from all the engineers was all the crappy ads promoted before the algorithmic search results. I recently despaired of Google search and thought it now looks like Yahoo search results when there were too many ads and even paid for boosts in the algo search results. PR used to run Yahoo Labs and that’s where the ads team lived. It all makes sense now 14 years later.
Geese must be so pissed off at their ancestors for evolving away from teeth, like when you accidentally navigate away from that smart, insightful, humorous comment and it disappears. "FUCK! Now I have to completely start over and it's never gonna be as good."
Now the meta question is, is this version 1 or 2 of my gooseteeth comment?
indie gamedev is spending 3-5 years working on a game with probably at least a couple other people and then you release it and if youre fairly lucky you gross like 20-80 thousand US dollars which works out to $5000 a person a year before tax. it's a very cool and sustainable industry
Software developer: "This task will take at least three months."
PM: "If one engineer needs three months, then twelve engineers should need only one week. I'll request additional staff. We will deliver the project on time."
@halcy@lritter@dragfyre Eh. You would get [-0, 0] if you were using a sign-magnitude or ones' complement representation, but doesn't everybody just use two's complement for integers these days? Which would give [-1, 0].
@eniko sounds like plenty to me. Oniken had 6 IIRC and Odallus: The Dark Call had 12 maybe? But I seem to remember some you encountered twice and it was a much, much larger game than the former.
Joe Biden continues to fully support the Gaza genocide because he does not believe it will hurt him politically, and because he has no empathy for the Palestinians. This is the same arrogance that brought down LBJ over the Vietnam war.
I've been using a MS Sculpt for the past ~9years as main keyboard, and I fear when it dies I won't find a good replacement. tried others over the years and always come back, it's great. Should probably find a store that has stock for a spare while I still can, just in case.
@djlink I was looking for one recently, but there's a major flaw that completely put me off. It only pairs with the USB dongle it comes with. So much ewaste on eBay. Fully working keyboards with missing dongles sold as "parts only"...
@nixCraft There is also, at least in win 11, other way to stop task-manager to update non-stop. Hamburger menu, Settings, and select Paused at real-time update speed.
@w7voa I'm tellin' ya, brother, America was better before Wall Street owned all the restaurants. Time was a nice eatery was for everybody. You didn't need to call a car or rent clothes for some bullshit theme experience just to see people and talk and enjoy a meal. Those were the 'good old days,' which included theaters without assigned, reserved seats and overpriced tickets.
@w7voa I bet the lobsters are happy, tho. One time my mom made me cry, when I was ten, by telling me about lobsters who visited the restaurants of Disney World. She explained to me that when they were being lowered into the soon-to-be-boiling water that they would exclaim, in small, cute, voices, that Disney World was supposed to be fun, and this wasn’t very fun for the lobster. Do not worry. I was radicalized before this conversation occurred 🦞
