JakenVeina,

“Is this JakenVeina?”

“Speaking.”

JakenVeina,

Same. Confirmed through both Jerboa and the web UI.

JakenVeina,

“The first real open world.”

That’s a rather hyperbolic statement, even if they’re not just over-hyping.

JakenVeina,

it makes them completely inaccessible to client side JavaScript

Dude literally said to do this for browser clients, and only support bearer tokens for non browser clients.

JakenVeina,

So, looks like a singleplayer story/campaign game, built in the FighterZ engine? Sounds dope.

JakenVeina,

Did anyone really think that making UEFI systems the equivalent of a mini OS was a good idea? Or having them be accessible to the proper OS? Was there really no pushback, when UEFI was being standardized, to say “images that an OS can write to are not critical to initializing hardware functionality, don’t include that”? Was that question not asked for every single piece of functionality in the standard?

If you had a one-way ticket to Jan 1, 1999 that departs on Jan 1, 2024, and you are allowed to bring whatever fits into a backpack with you, what would you bring to use to take over the world, and how would you use it? (kbin.social)

Assume that the future can change based on your actions, so any historical information that you bring along with you from the intervening 25 years may quickly drift out of the new realities history....

Grays Sports Almanac

JakenVeina,

The Apache 404 page doesn’t really seem that interesting.

JakenVeina,

Dark Souls and Syardew Valley.

JakenVeina,

TIL that the AI character Roko Basilisk in Questionable Cobtent is a reference.

JakenVeina,

There is. Just released last week.

JakenVeina,

As someone with 0 investment in this whole ecosystem, I saw and perused this article like a week ago, and my immediate impression was “Why is this guy constantly saying ‘Wayland breaks XXXXX’? Wayland isn’t breaking anything, it’s new tech. Wayland has certain features, or it doesn’t or doesn’t yet. The only folks breaking anything are those swapping use of X with Wayland, within various apps or tech stacks, potentially prematurely, where Wayland doesn’t yet have the full set of features needed.”

Whoever this is seems to have a really poor understanding of long-term software development, despite being way more invested in it than I am.

JakenVeina,

I’m sorry, mouthwash peels your skin off?!

JakenVeina,

I like TypeScript less for its ability to categorize my grocery list and more for its ability to stop anyone from putting cyanide on it.

JakenVeina,

Fair enough.

JakenVeina,

The one I’ve had in my head for a while is a “Factory” simulator. Like, think Factorio or Satisfactory, but grounded in reality, instead of on an alien planet. You own a factory and take contracts to produce stuff, and have employees that run everything. Occasionally, you’d actually need to tear down and re-tool chunks of your factory to accommodate new production. Initially, you contract-out raw materials, but maybe, eventually, you source and process them yourself.

JakenVeina,

I was actually gonna ask about this point, thanks for the context.

JakenVeina,

I can recite all the US presidents.

JakenVeina,

the overnight shift consisted of security and an unaccompanied technician who had only been on the job for a week.

That poor bastard.

JakenVeina,

“It’s like e-mail, but for social media. You create an account with GMail or Yahoo or whoever, and that lets you interact with anyone else with an e-mail address, doesn’t matterof they’re using the same e-mail service as you.”

JakenVeina,

Seems more like such waste heat should be recovered and fed back into the system, to reduce energy consumption for the facility as a whole. If there’s enough waste heat to meaningfully talk about transferring it to homes via water or steam, surely there’s enough to make some electricity.

I sure don’t want Amazon or Microsoft involved in the utilities businesses, as another commenter pointed out.

JakenVeina, (edited )

A) Practice.

B) Interacting with programmers other than yourself.

On a more specific note:

  • Don’t work “around” problems. Identify what the problem actually IS and work backwards. When you try to take a step and find that you don’t know what step to take, or you’re stepping into something you don’t understand, go research and learn about it.
  • Learning how to read technical documentation is a valuable skill.
  • Recognize and challenge your assumptions. Which plays into working “around” problems. Do I know the error I’m researching came from this bit of code? Is this bit of code even running? Is the source file I’m looking at even part of the binary I’m running? Is the binary that’s running actually the one I’m trying to test?
JakenVeina,

Forget the school, the individuals in the administration are the ones that need to be sued.

JakenVeina,

Like the school district is going to be able to pay out $40 million.

Point being, the school district will shoulder all the consequences, or just declare bankruptcy, all at the expense of the taxpayers and the students and teachers that all of those taxes are supposed to be going to, while the actual people that made reckless and criminal decisions face almost no personal consequences.

JakenVeina,

I’m gonna take a shot in the dark and guess this was about the B2?

JakenVeina,

It’s telling that this is omly for GDPR countries. They don’t want YOUR money, they want advertisers’ and data analysts’ money. A subscription isn’t as profitable as selling your personal data. How fucked up is that?

JakenVeina,

1.60934, same as everyone, always.

Sorry, I’ll see myself out.

JakenVeina,

Love how this plays in relation to all the arguments of “well, you have to understand, Unity doesn’t turn a profit yet, they need to be able to make money”, from when they first announced the change.

JakenVeina,

Let’s be clear, though: developers did not make this decision. Managers and publishers did.

JakenVeina,

This is what, a particular game mode?

JakenVeina,

Unfortunately, you’re only hearing one of them.

Tom died in 2014 of Alzheimer’s, 2 years after they retired from the show.

What is something (feature, modes, settings...) you would like to see become a standard in video games?

I’ve been thinking about making this thread for a few days. Sometimes, I play a game and it has some very basic features that are just not in every other game and I think to myself: Why is this not standard?! and I wanted to know what were yours....

JakenVeina,

Borderless Windowed mode. Seriously, there is 0 excuse for PC games to not support it, it’s 2023.

JakenVeina,

It means you can take focus away from the game without it throwing a hissy fit. I.E. you can click out of it.

JakenVeina,

Wow. Valid cert, matching icon, identical web page, and virtually-identical URL. I absolutely would have fallen for that, and I’ve been meaning to visit KeePass’s website and download the latest version, too.

JakenVeina,

SmartTube is excellent on our NVidia Shield. Not sure what other platforms it works on.

JakenVeina,

It took me three attempts for me to finally enjoy it, and get through the whole game, I feel you. The game’s high barrier to entry is its biggest flaw.I’m glad you’re enjoying it

JakenVeina, (edited )

A couple days of Stardew Valley every couple days IRL Also picked up a really fun chill-ish game called Unrailed.

JakenVeina,

You could teach a CLASS on how terrible the YouTube mobile app UX is.

JakenVeina,

Dude, why you gotta do this to me… he looks exactly like my cousin’s dog Toby that I grew up with. He dies at I think 16, a decade ago.

JakenVeina,

Seconded for Transmission. It’s light on features because (as far as I know) it’s the only ine in this list that’s built to run unattended in a Docker container, with a web interface.

JakenVeina,

Finished final achievements in Armoed Core 6.

Picked up Unrailed for $5 on Steam (great purchase).

Started a fresh file Ilin Stardew Valley, cause why not?

JakenVeina,

FromSoft made DAVE THE DIVER? :P

JakenVeina,

Jurassic Park SNES. Surprisingly for that era, I never considered actually reading the manual. I played and beat it a couple years ago, it’s a gem.

JakenVeina,

Finished all achievements for Armored Core 6.

Picked up Unrailed on Steam for $5. Great purchase.

Stsrted a fresh file in Stardew Valley, cause why not?

JakenVeina,

That doesn’t seem terribly fun.

JakenVeina,

Give Outer Wilds a go.

JakenVeina,

Dude, this needs to be its own post. What a fascinating read.
