We need to STOP running DOOM on new things
and START putting new things into DOOM.

For example, today I added micro-transactions to the original game. Any time you pick up an item, the game freezes until you make a payment.

opening DOOM from the command line. start a new game. immediately walk to health item. when the character touches it, the game freezes and a QR code pops up. I scan the qr code with my phone and a credit card payment UI is displayed. I enter fake credit card details, hit submit. A second later the web page on the phone says "Payment Complete" and the game on the computer resumes.

I cried at the Voyager news today. I also know why.

Because for every techbro out there, there's a talented engineer quietly working to make things actually better.

That gives me hope.

Hope is in short supply these days.

Have you thought at all, for even a minute, about the business model of OpenAI?

In one sentence: "We will take every actual human-created content, the golden egg, from everyone, without permission, and then we will use it to sell plausible made-up shit, simultaneously choking out the creation of all new human-created content, the goose."

Ponzi was vastly more sophisticated than this.

I've long regarded extractive capitalism as corrupt, but I had no idea they were all so stupid.

@hazelweakly @GeePawHill apologists and evangelists keep saying things about emergent properties, but you’re starting with what is - to a first approximation - the sum total of human knowledge in the English language and you get… something that can do a passable shitpost poem about version control or spit out marketing drivel? Yes, that’s more than is obvious from the linear algebra and weights, but look where you started!

For rainy days we have a treadmill but it's locked into the vendor's subscription service if you want to watch videos.

Except...tap the bottom left 10 times, wait 7 seconds, tap 10 more times, up pops a number, use that as a seed to generate a number with lrand48, reduce modulo 999999 (not 1000000!) and type that number back in, and now you have an Android tablet with web browser and access to YouTube.

@dpiponi @tsrono moving safety-relevant car controls from physical things in their expected places to a touch screen is evil and should be outlawed. I learned how to drive a fairly generic car. That’s what I’m qualified on. It can be manual or automatic. It cannot have the fucking wipers controlled by a submenu on a touchscreen.

Sometimes a "wandering trader" come up to you in Minecraft and it's very annoying since he has llamas that make noise and can get in the way. Most players just kill him.

It would be nice if Minecraft added a "goodbye" button that would cause him to leave. Or even a "go away button"

All the murder is both funny and it does not sit well with me.

I hate my work laptop so much. I SHALL NOT be made to use a Dell computer.
Issues today:

  • refused to use dock’s network card
  • refused to recognize the left monitor at all
  • had to power cycle the left monitor that’s directly connected to the dock to get it to be better than 800x600
  • dock providing insufficient power
    Four times I had to unplug and reconnect the dock!

The least enjoyable part of coding is getting the IDE setup, the folders named, the correct libraries installed and trimmed down so they have what you think you will need.

If the language is java then the least enjoyable part is deciding if you want to store a number as a float or an int (formatted if you need decimals) ... then always changing your mind and having to go through and fix the numbers so they work.

I know python is lazy, but strict typing still feels like a drag to me.

@dr2chase @futurebird @phryk “For values exactly halfway between rounded decimal values, NumPy rounds to the nearest even value. Thus 1.5 and 2.5 round to 2.0, -0.5 and 0.5 round to 0.0, etc.”

Happened to be near a Best Buy that had a reMarkable 2 on display, and it seems nice, but do I need this? It seems like it would have been absolutely amazing for university when we ahem obtained pdf textbooks and this would have allowed me to carry all of them and annotate them.
I don’t know what I’d actually do with it. But I love the aesthetics of it and handwriting notes is a big part of how I do things when I function - so maybe it would be really awesome?

I know criticizing C is like, yesterday's pastime, and the syntax I'm criticizing is probably from the seventies, but I hate in particular that the pointer-type's syntax is

type *name

no no no. That contains an address. How else do I get things to contain an address? the & operator, not the * operator

am I dumb or is C dumb or both

c0dec0dec0de,
@c0dec0dec0de@hachyderm.io avatar

@fernandomorgan @gregvr @ChateauErin the issue with this is that if you declare multiple variables on the same line (I don’t, don’t @ me on this), only the first one gets the pointer type because C. It’s bonkers. It’s totally a type thing and should be syntactically attached to the type regardless of how you like formatting it.
