The more people that must participate in a conspiracy for it to work, the less likely it is to be true.

Can 3 people keep a secret? Sure. Can 1000 people keep a secret? Hell no!

magic_lobster_party,

Adventures of Tintin. Peter Jackson was supposed to direct it, but unfortunately he got busy with Hobbit.

Apparently they were supposed to adapt Prisoners of the Sun, which is arguably the best Tintin storyline to make a movie of.

magic_lobster_party,

I don’t think Sean makes as many public appearances anymore, so probably safe. But who knows what he will do.

magic_lobster_party,

E3 was more than trailers. It was also a chance for journalists to meet game developers and try their games. That aspect died when game developers realized they could just reach the consumer directly without the journalist middleman, and consumers kept up to date with games without journalists.

magic_lobster_party,

How is that going to help artists getting paid?

magic_lobster_party,

So TL;DR: there might be unexpected time zone rule changes in the future. The solution presented in the article is to store both UTC and local time, so the application can easily adjust itself if such change happens.

magic_lobster_party,

It was the same for GTA5 a decade ago or so. Same with GTA4. The trailer for a new GTA is a big thing.

magic_lobster_party,

That’s basically it, except everything is darn expensive.

magic_lobster_party,

Haven’t checked it in a while, but is it still impossible to withdraw staked coins?

magic_lobster_party,

Seems like they’ve fixed it now, but there was a time when they had proof of stake without withdrawal functionality

magic_lobster_party,

One way to tell if two numbers are equal is to show there’s no real number between them. Try to formulate a number that’s between 0.999… and 1. You can’t do that.

magic_lobster_party,

The difference is zero, so they’re equal.

magic_lobster_party,

0.999… means infinitely repeating 9s. There’s no more 9 to add that hasn’t already been added. If you can add another 9, then it’s not infinitely repeating.

magic_lobster_party,

I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord

magic_lobster_party,

The intention was to only show it in the main menu. Now it was shown when the game is paused as well.

magic_lobster_party,

KDE Plasma and Gnome are different desktop environments. Kind of like the GUI of the desktop.

Which is best is a matter of taste. I prefer KDE because of its customization options and better virtual desktop support.

magic_lobster_party,

Mandatory Ubuntu hate as well.

I use Ubuntu btw.

magic_lobster_party,

Yes we do

magic_lobster_party,

Learning about reflog was a game changer. Now I’m never afraid of breaking my branch. If I mess up, I can always git reset —hard to a previous state.

Another game changer was learning that a perfectly valid way of doing squash is to do git reset to an earlier commit and then do git commit -a. Saves a lot of rebasing headache.

magic_lobster_party,

I’m feeling the opposite lately. YouTube recommendations suck. I often open the app/page for the quick dopamine rush, but few of the recommendations interests me, so I just bounce off. For me, YouTube is mostly for long form content nowadays. Something I can put in the background while cooking/doing dishes.

Instagram is turning more and more like TikTok. Sometimes it recommends me something fun (like cat videos), but often it’s just nonsense. So I bounce off quite quickly there as well.

I feel happy about it.

magic_lobster_party,

TIL not only robots can get addicted to social media

magic_lobster_party,

Use a jokeless architecture

magic_lobster_party,

Who even uses screensavers these days?

magic_lobster_party,

Screen locking yes, but that’s not screen saver.

magic_lobster_party,

But locking the screen is not the purpose of xscreensaver. It’s mostly just an overlay with animations.

magic_lobster_party,

Comments should be used when it’s hard to convey the intent using only code. For example, maybe there’s some unintuitive border case that must handled. Then it could be useful to add some explanation with a comment.

I also like to add comments when I find some clever solution/workaround on the web. For example, some stack overflow answer or Wikipedia page of some algorithm.

magic_lobster_party,

// Don’t remove this comment! Production will break if removed

magic_lobster_party,

Talent show judges when you haven’t stopped the cycle of reincarnation:

magic_lobster_party,

I don’t agree with the second one. Sometimes you can save weeks of planning with hours of work.

magic_lobster_party,

I think a more appropriate one would be about the sunk cost fallacy. You should realize when it’s time to take a step back and reconsider your solution. Maybe you’re missing something obvious?

magic_lobster_party,

That’s how GANs are trained, and I haven’t seen anything about GPT4 (or DALL-E) being trained this way. It seems like current generative AI research is moving away from GANs.

magic_lobster_party,

It even replaced the select button, which to be frank was also quite useless (but not as much).

magic_lobster_party,

Well at least we got a backup, right?

Right???

magic_lobster_party,

They tried with Cortana next to the start button. I don’t think anybody ever used it.

magic_lobster_party,

And the “give us feedback, your opinion is valuable” pop up after the page has been scrolled one pixel.

magic_lobster_party,

On the topic of Microsoft support, I hate how useless support boards are. They’re always responding with the same template answers describing the exact steps the asker clearly stated they’ve already done with no results. Microsoft is far from alone in this, but I just wanted to rant a bit.

magic_lobster_party,

Maybe the it’s the English language that is wrong?

magic_lobster_party,

I think most of the happiness comes from the strong unions and long history of worker’s rights movements. Sweden don’t have a law that determines minimum wage for example. It is the unions that determine a fair wage.

Which YouTuber's voice can lull you to sleep?

I’ve exhausted things I can sleep to on Netflix, and it’s literally impossible to sleep to things on Prime (so I barely watch anything there; it’s not worth falling asleep to something I like, since I might be punished for it), so I’ve started putting on YouTube in the evenings since it won’t wake me with silence at...

magic_lobster_party,

ZFG. He has a nice deep voice. He mostly does Zelda Ocarina of Time speed runs, but as of lately he has focused on playing Zelda randomizers.

magic_lobster_party,

My suspicion is that they will release a trailer at VGA, just like how they announced AC6. Hopefully it’s not releasing long after that.

magic_lobster_party,

Serverless is more associated with micro services where each micro service can scale independently from each other.

magic_lobster_party,

Good fucking luck. Being a strikebreaker is among the most dishonorable things you can be in Sweden.

magic_lobster_party,

I hope they learned the value of protecting your branches.

magic_lobster_party,

Comments should only be used to describe stuff that’s otherwise difficult to convey with code.

magic_lobster_party,

There’s also that long time senior dev who’s overly confident in their abilities and force pushes production breaking code directly to master.

magic_lobster_party,

Nah, they’re the one who’s contributing most to the project. Mostly because their code is so garbage no one else can work with it. But that’s not a thing the managers take into account.

magic_lobster_party,

If it works in my mind it’s ready for production

magic_lobster_party,

I’m sure that ring buffer started out as a “temporary solution”.
