@eniko $20 in Australia. Sit it infront of an open windoq, and it does a great job cooling a room. Turn it around, and it acts like an exhaust fan. @oblomov
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."
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
@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].
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 🦞
@eniko I hope Kitsune Tales makes you like a million dollars so you can pay everyone a lot of money, take some time off, and then hire another three developers for the next project cause you need to work less hours.
