Rodeo,

Corporations Executives are always happy to pander to morality … Corporations Executives are equally happy to make choices that most would consider immoral, if it meets their goals.

Remember there are actual people who are making these decisions. Don’t let them hide behind some abstract legal concept, that’s part of their play.

Rodeo,

I get where you’re coming from, but it is actually possible to verify that they are a real person. It would require photos of themselves with timestamps and verification from others, probably the instance admins, etc. All for a silly reason. But it is possible.

Rodeo,

This really goes to show you can read any meaning you like into art.

See it’s actually a depiction of class inequality, where the kings are represented by the fat petulant child who is withholding sustenance, wealth, and the means of production (represented by the fish) from the angry proletariat, represented by the cat.

Id like to hear Cuyp’s own interpretation, because I think most art criticism is simply people ascribing their own meaning, like I just did.

Rodeo,

Fast travel to space, then fast travel to another planet. Fast travel to the surface and bunny hop to an objective through a boring city/space station/whatever. Fast travel back to your ship and do it all over again.

Dungeons & Dragons to Bring Adventure (and Funding) to 200 High-Needs Classrooms (www.superherohype.com)

In a press release today, Wizards of the Coast detailed its plan to aid classrooms through a partnership with AdoptAClassroom.org. Through an application on the AdoptAClassroom website, teachers can apply to receive one of 200 $100 rewards to pay for expenses in 4-12 grade classrooms. Winners also receive an official D&D...

Rodeo,

Wow, $100! That’s almost 3 whole seconds worth of revenue for them!

Plus they’re plugging their products into the lives of kidsz who will then grow up with their products and be more likely to purchase them as adults.

Don’t be fooled into thinking this is an act of benevolence. This is marketing through and through.

Rodeo,

We existed in a different millennium.

Rodeo,

That’s a really shitty year to be born and I bet your grandfather had an intense life.

Rodeo,

I hope it comes preinstalled with sl and similar programs.

Rodeo,

Wow it’s just like the first joke, only worse.

Rodeo,

Those are the same reasons that nearly every civilization in history ended because of. It is much more common for great civilizations to collapse from internal pressures than it is for them to be conquered.

Rodeo,

Why on earth would they have changed that. WEBooB is a way better name.

Rodeo,

Memes have always been superior to YouTube videos

Rodeo,

Yeah but now you have a concrete asset on which you’re gaining equity.

Before you were getting nothing for all that money you spent on rent. Now you’re getting equity for it.

Rodeo,

Another great episode of Why Next Worth is a Terrible Indicator of Wealth!

Rodeo,

You really should reconsider your priorities if stupid questions like that are what causing you to stay with edge.

“Hmm do I need privacy, or do I need to know how many spiders are in a pound?”

Rodeo,

Because they’re both based on Ubuntu?

Rodeo,

Don’t forget the development issues. Last I read up on this was several years ago, so things may have changed, but:

It’s open source, but it’s entirely controlled by a handful of people who work for RedHat, and they don’t publish any of their communications about development nor any supporting material like code documentation. It’s a massive complicated codebase and they’ve made no effort to make it accessible, nor do they allow contributions from anyone outside the RedHat team, so it remains a closed black box controlled by a private, for profit corporation.

It’s open source in the worst way possible.

Rodeo,

the space junk problem without having to reference astronomy

But that’s like half the problem with it.

Rodeo,

Then does it even matter? What’s the point of even considering the question if the end result has no detectable difference either way?

Rodeo,

I guess my question is more directed at those people who are not materialists. To distill it into a philosophical question: why worry about something you cannot know?

Rodeo,

Tragedy of the commons.

Rodeo,

You should bring this up with your boss, not the customers. Remember it’s your boss who is responsible for paying you.

Just another example of working class people being blamed for a problem created by the owning class.

Rodeo,

That’s why you look them dead in the eye as you do it.

“I know exactly what I’m doing, and if you’ve got a problem with your pay, go talk to your boss.”

Rodeo,

Good god how do you write that all out and not realize the problem is the OWNERS, not the customers.

The OWNERS are the ones responsible for paying good wages. Start pointing your finger at the right people.

Rodeo,

You’re right. The learning is the point. So rather than flail in the dark, why not learn the optimal solution?

Rodeo,

This reads like an ad for their plugin.

Rodeo,

You could just use aliases in your bashrc

alias dl=cd ~/Downloads

Might need quotes around the command.

Rodeo,

You have to try it but I think it still works. Aliases just replaced the text you typed with text in the alias, so if you append a subfolder to the alias it should also be appended to the command.

It’s like using !! when navigating folders. You can do cd ~/Downloads and then !!/source and it resolves to cd ~/Downloads/source

Rodeo,

All this talk of Rust I’m seeing makes me so sad Ada was never given a fair chance.

Rodeo,

I haven’t used it in a while, so I don’t remember off the top of my head. I guess the main thing is the syntax is much more natural than C-likes. It can be wordy but the flip side is that it’s easier to read and decipher.

I don’t really think it has a future though. It was released in the 80s and suffers the same constraints from backwards compatibility as any other old language. Also it was intended to run on everything, so they limited the character set, which resulta in round brackets being the only brackets there are, which can lead to ambiguous code where for example you’re not sure if you’re accessing an array or calling a function that has the same name.

I really want a safe language that has actual nice syntax instead of some gibberish with lots of symbols, and Ada is the closest I’ve found, but she’s old and forgotten now.

Rodeo,

Doesn’t happen with coniferous species.

Question about the 3D editor view

I am going through the Godot tutorial and am in the 3D part. I clicked the perspective button and changed to top view. I now have no idea how to return the editor camera to where it was before and the tutorial seems to expect you to be in this default view. I tried searching, but I don’t think I am using the correct words to...

Rodeo,

Do the tuts, but I also strongly recommend simply opening the editor settings and reading through the keyboard shortcuts. You’ll probably find one or two that stand out as really useful to you.

Rodeo,

“Not hidden, done with the intention to be seen”. Which is not at all the English meaning.

It sort of fits the English definition, because it’s often used in the context of deception: a person could ostensibly think one thing but actually believe another. The thing they ostensibly think is the thing they intend to be seen, while their true feelings remain hidden.

Rodeo,

Legally I think that’s a pretty simple issue. If the treaty was negotiated between the Crown and the natives, then if Canada no longer represents the crown Canada is no longer liable for those treaties. Native leaders would have to negotiate directly with the UK monarchy instead, and many of those treaties would simply be voided since the Crown would no longer have ownership of the land.

Practically, it would fuck over a lot of people and also be a really bad move politically.

Rodeo,

Oh no, severe implications! That will teach them a lesson for sure 🙄

Rodeo,

Except the “punishment” is a joke, so it seems the strategy was successful.

<span style="color:#323232;">func _show_only_first_layer_dots():
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    for c in $Layers.get_children():
</span><span style="color:#323232;">        c.get_node("Dots").visible = false
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    $Layers.get_child(0).get_node("Dots").visible = true
</span>

Mines 10x more readable and I saved a line of code.

Simplicity is king.

Rodeo,

It’s a poor name choice then, because it actually says less about what it’s doing than the main function does.

Besides, what is the point of “looking further” just to stop at another function name? Wouldn’t looking further imply the need to review the implementation?

Rodeo,

Greenhorns?

Rodeo,

Pay off for who, exactly?

It will definitely pay off for the billionaires who own the car companies.

Rodeo,

Under Canadian law, phone calls can be recorded, as long as one person in the conversation is aware of it.

But a directive from the city’s human resources department sent out in May states elected officials including the mayor are not supposed to be recording conversations when they’re not in city hall.

Pretty sure there’s a lot of precedent that workplace policies do not outweigh the law. But I’m interested in the outcome of this. Perhaps the ruling will be different since they are politicians.

  1. Fines that are a significant percentage of global revenue.
  2. Personal consequences for the people who made those decisions. For example if I started an illegal casino I’d be looking at jail time. Meanwhile these guys are literally walking away.

Ottawa poised to make decision on search of Manitoba landfill for human remains: minister (www.cbc.ca)

Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Gary Anandasangaree says the federal government is on the verge of presenting a plan in response to calls for a search of a Manitoba landfill for the remains of two First Nations women believed to have been murdered by an alleged serial killer....

Rodeo,

Has this landfill been under constant close surveillance this whole time? I wonder if it’s possible the perp went there at like 2am and moved the bodies again.

Rodeo,

Dumps are really terrible for decomposition actually. And bones and especially teeth take years to decompose, even in ideal conditions.

But to your point, it still seems like finding a needle in a haystack.

Rodeo,

The NDP should know full well the forestry industry can survive just fine on second growth lumber.
