That’s a cool board. I’ve been thinking about something in similar form factor, kind of missing old slide phones with physical keyboards. The idea of building out little mesh devices for a local emergency network is quite interesting. Maybe with a few supernode base stations built around RasPis to act as data-storage/relays/service-providers…
I’ve absolutely driven past a cop who was playing WoW on his laptop while sitting in traffic.
This is why you should never allow your terminal to execute news headlines directly. You’re definitely going to want to sandbox your RSS autoexecutor.
I’d wait to see if fans are still trying to port Starfield to new engines in 20 years before I start talking about my company’s “best” work.
Man, I’d love to play Alan Wake 2. Big Remedy fan; Control was my game of the year for two years. Be nice if they’d release it on a platform I’d buy it on.
The best written games are all indies now. Text and story heavy games are pretty common, with varying amounts of “game” to carry the story. Check out Citizen Sleeper, Disco Elysium, or Book of Hours.
I guess assembler is sumerien then, only still written and understood? And cobol or fortran? Linear a and b?
Some alcohol cooks off when used this way, but not all. Be cautious when cooking for others to mention this so non-drinkers can make an informed choice.
It can be a delicious addition though: alcohol dissolves flavor and aromatic compounds that water and fat cannot, so you get a lot of unique flavors especially from barrel-aged drinks like whisky and wine.
People in times of desperate oppression and violence rarely turn to the uncaring vastness of the chaotic universe for comfort.
Is it just me, or is it worrying how companies keep packing up and selling off the only parts of their businesses that actually, you know, make stuff, in favor of becoming full time bullshit peddlers?
Seeing this actually sent a small wave of dread through my body
I have doubts about this “Cane” guy’s citizenship , have we seen a birth certificate?
Phobos and Deimos, Mars’ moons, are captured asteroids and look like lumpy potatoes.
Don’t worry, once you get the job you’ll discover that they lied about what the work is anyway. You thought the job was sitting quietly at a desk and solving little dev tasks. Actually that’s 25% of the job, the rest is: 25% meetings where they make doing the little tasks harder, confusing, and miserable, 25% other tasks you aren’t good at and that aren’t part of your job, and the last 25% is more meetings about those other things. The ratios will adjust over time until only about 10% of your job is doing your job, and the other 90% is email and meetings.
I should get to work on my opus, “Dirty Code”
Inside I’ll reveal all my secrets like: not writing tests, not documenting anything, putting the whole app into a single python file, object-disoriented relational mapping, obscure SQL tricks, unobscure no-sql tricks, and more!
You currently owe Oracle $500MM in unpaid licensing fees for this floor.
I’m just poking fun that the fundamental type in JS (Object) is an associative-array/hashmap. Technically it has some fancy under-the-hood handling for pure arrays and primitive types. This is also exactly true of Lua, and a little true of Ruby and Python.
Really, most programmers would do great to start with a hash map or array list and only specialize out further when the problem calls for it.
Guess they’re upgrading to Windows 95 and getting some new features in the process!
I hate them removing open seating though, which airline experts have found is basically the fastest, easiest system for boarding planes. Obviously just to allow per-sest pricing, the bane of travellers everywhere.
Javascript devs be like…
IBM provided business machines (internationally, even) to Nazi Germany, probably a big help in bureaucratically processing those millions of murders they were doing. I can’t (or perhaps, “won’t” is truer) imagine how much cloud compute a modern genocide requires.
