magic_lobster_party,

I’ve only played the demo of P, but if you expect Sekiro sword dances you’re probably going to be disappointed. It’s not as fundamental as in Sekiro.

Parrying is important in P, as it builds up stagger. But they’re trickier to land. Can be quite satisfying once that’s nailed down.

Not sure how the game evolves beyond the demo.

To what extend are you grateful for free services?

There are services that are actually free, those who don’t sell your data and still manage to stay afloat. I use a lot of these. I like the Freemium model, I like the fact that the community is paying for my use of a great service till I can stand on my own two feet. So, I was wondering if there were any services you used for...

magic_lobster_party,

We take Wikipedia too much for granted.

It’s a service that has remained ad free to this day. No pop up asking you to be tracked. No pop up forcing you to create an account. No pop up asking you to subscribe to their news feed. It’s one of the few remnants left of the old open web.

magic_lobster_party,

It’s good they’re financially insured in case they face some bad years. Who knows what will happen in the future.

I would be concerned if they barely had any cash reserves at all.

magic_lobster_party,

It’s a DnD thing.

Gabe is already the wealthiest in the video game industry. He’s good.

I got the feeling that Oppenheimer is quite true to the events compared to many other Hollywood biopics. I could read Wikipedia about the events after watching the movie and think “oh yeah, that happened in the movie” for many paragraphs. Some lines in the movie are even accurate word for word.

The Imitation Game is pure fiction Abraham Lincoln the Vampire Hunter by comparison. It’s a fascinating story to base a movie on, but they decide to throw it all out and instead replace it with something completely made up. I hate how they wasted that potential.

magic_lobster_party,

I think the music was a l contributor to it. Even the most mundane conversations had stressful music playing. It’s exciting, but I think Ludwig Göransson could chill down a little bit.

The stressful lead up to the detonation is one of the best cinema experiences though.

magic_lobster_party,

Alternatively you can gain access to accounts/wallets by hacking the software that users store them in or by social-engineering people to give you their keys.

This is happening almost on a daily basis. The security of a system is determined by its weakest link, and blockchain has many such links. Only a small part of blockchain is “unhackable”.

It doesn’t matter if your front door is unbreakable if you leave your back door wide open.

No idea how to hide the buttons. Thanks for making the page so readable.

magic_lobster_party,

If this weren’t the case then we wouldn’t have critical systems running Linux, FreeBSD etc.

Or pretty much any programming language. Or programming frameworks for that matter (in the topic of AI we got torch, tensorflow, numpy, etc.).

Or Git. Or Curl.

Unity: handing me over the essay is going to cost you extra.

Typescript: is this a declaration of war?

magic_lobster_party,

Safari also has reader mode.

Unity ...It Just Keeps Get Worse (youtu.be)

To say it’s been a bad week for Unity is the understatement of 2023. First they announced a terrible new Pricing scheme, then their customers revolted, as the week goes on though, it gets worse and worse for Unity, from threats from an employee shutting down their offices, to more studios threatening to leave, to scummy secret...

magic_lobster_party,

Unity is charging per install (not per sold unit), so technically developers can owe Unity more money than they make.

magic_lobster_party,

I fucked up my Linux installation yesterday by doing apt upgrade.

magic_lobster_party,

I’m pretty sure it was caused by some nvidia driver. It just cut the upgrade process halfway through and in turn damaged nearly everything. Not exactly sure what happened. Either way, my system got so broken I figured it’s easiest to just wipe everything and start from scratch.

magic_lobster_party,

Maybe. I did some attempts to recover it, like reinstalling all broken packages. But everything I did seemed to break it even more. Any “simple” fix at my skill level would probably take weeks for me to find. So I gave up, backed up all essentials, and then wiped everything. Back up and running much quicker.

magic_lobster_party,

I would’ve done it if it was me who created the installation. Did it for the reinstall.

magic_lobster_party,

But it’s also boring. Innovation is fun.

Maybe we will see that kind of innovation in the VR space if the Apple headset really becomes the next big thing, but I have my doubts.

magic_lobster_party,

Sounds like a fun concept. I liked Tetris 99 and Mario 35, so might try it.

Swedish gangster rap is quite big in Sweden, with loads of controversies too. The most streamed gangster rapper got kidnapped and murdered - in two separate events.

magic_lobster_party,

Downloading Google maps is an option. I have never used Apple maps.

magic_lobster_party,

When was the last time you transferred data to or from your phone by cable? The USB port is mostly only for charging.

magic_lobster_party,

Ok then you are probably not the target audience

magic_lobster_party,

Got it

magic_lobster_party,

The options on Android aren’t much better, unless you go for some obscure manufacturer who won’t support the phone with updates 1 year after its life cycle.

Apple was for a while the only remaining flagship manufacturer who actually provided mini models. Ironic, because Android is supposed to be the alternative providing more options.

magic_lobster_party,

iPhone 15 is just 1 mm larger than S23

magic_lobster_party,

iPhone 15 is not that much bigger compared to S10e, so if you want a small phone like iPhone 13 mini you’re out of luck.

magic_lobster_party,

Which android phone is as small as iPhone 13 mini?

magic_lobster_party,

That’s just a few mm smaller than iPhone 15

magic_lobster_party,

None of these are small

magic_lobster_party,

I haven’t seen any phone offered by these manufacturers that is as small as iPhone 13 mini. At best they’re just marginally smaller than iPhone 15.

There is no good alternative anymore if you’re looking for a truly small phone.

magic_lobster_party,

Some of those are small, but those are from lesser known brands. My experience with those is that their long term support is often lacking. It’s also going to be difficult to find replacement parts in case the display cracks or something.

magic_lobster_party,

I’m talking about small phones. iPhone 13 mini was the last decent option when it came to small phones. Neither Google or Samsung make phones that small. The smallest phones they make are same size as a regular iPhone 13.

Now there’s only a few “obscure” manufacturers left who make small phones. “Obscure” manufacturers usually lack long term support on both the software and the hardware side to be a decent option.

magic_lobster_party,

You know the cleaning up probably won’t happen. If some dependency doesn’t work anymore because Python introduced a breaking change, then you stick with the old Python version.

magic_lobster_party,

Python 3.7 is another good example. The new await and async keyword broke a lot of programs.

magic_lobster_party,

Terminal with stories

magic_lobster_party,

Very hard mode

magic_lobster_party,

I’m also getting powerful orgasms when using code completion tools.

magic_lobster_party,

Without capitalism, you’ll do what the government decides you will do, for however long they decide you should do it for.

While the government leaders will live in big mansions free to do whatever they want.

magic_lobster_party,

Specialization has always been a thing. Probably more so before. A carpenter wouldn’t just wake up and “nah, I’d rather work with pottery today”. The carpenter probably became a carpenter because their parents passed on their carpentering skills to them, so that’s what they do until they die.

Perl still relevant in 2023/24?

hi, i was interested if perl is still relevant in this day and age. Perl has been on the decline for a very long time now. Perl 6 (now named 'raku) not being backwards compatible with perl 5 code made the already small perl community even smaller by splitting it in half. A good example is lisp with it’s thousands of different...

magic_lobster_party,

Perl is great for that occasional bash one liner or that one off script.

It’s awful for team projects. The core mantra of Perl is “there’s more than one way to do it”, meaning every piece of code can be written in hundreds of different ways. Result is that everybody write with different code styles, and no one can understand each other’s code.

So that rules out most practical use cases.

magic_lobster_party,

CI/CD is useful regardless of which language you’re using. Sooner or later some customer is going to yell at you because you didn’t discover the fatal error before deploying.

magic_lobster_party,

I don’t think BG3 got review bombed, and that one is not available on Xbox.

magic_lobster_party,

Awesome if true.

But I guess it’s probably just a remaster of GX if we will see a return of F-Zero.

magic_lobster_party,

I’m feeling edgy

magic_lobster_party,

We got to see pronouns in the character creator. Gamers in shambles.
