savedbythezsh,

FYI you can (sorta) redirect searches from the start menu: windowscentral.com/how-let-google-handle-cortana-…

Mine all go to DDG in FF

FYI, Jenkins has an endpoint to validate the pipeline without running it, and there’s a VSCode extension to do this without leaving the editor: www.jenkins.io/blog/2018/…/Validate-Jenkinsfile/

savedbythezsh,

I use Jenkins for work, unfortunately, so I have plenty of experience

savedbythezsh,

The WinAmp maybe sorta open-sourcing is interesting. I’ve never used it (aside from downloading it to get MilkDrop working in Foobar2000).

savedbythezsh,

That’s how I feel about RuneScape! I don’t find it a particularly fun game, but the music is so great and iconic and fits the game so well, I hear it and want to play.

savedbythezsh,

That’s when you take a page out of the book of lightbulb manufacturers. On the box, CFLs and LEDs don’t show their actual wattage on the front, they write “100w equivalent” because that’s how people are used to measuring luminosity.

savedbythezsh,

Yeah exactly, but to get to that point we needed to message it to consumers as such for ~20 years. Similarly, in OPs example, the 20mg feels similarly to a 40mg, but with half the nicotine - clearly the measurement on the box is being used as a proxy for “how does this feel” (no clue if that has a measurement/is measureable) but could definitely message it similarly

savedbythezsh,

That’s what NEET technically means, but it’s taken on a greater meaning (especially on 4chan) of “person who lives in their parents basement well past the age it’s socially acceptable, has no social skills/is actively antisocial, has poor personal hygiene, and rarely (if ever) leaves the house”.

savedbythezsh,

Yeah, exactly

savedbythezsh,

I disagree that procedural generation makes games more boring and repetitive. I think it depends on the game and how the procedural generation is implemented. Look at Noita for example - uses lots of procedural generation, mixed with some handcrafted elements, and it’s really fun! Terraria, another similar formula.

Not my cup of tea, but a lot of people love No Man’s Sky for that reason - it’s fun to explore the crazy combinations.

The original Elite was procedurally generated IIRC, and from what I understand it was super fun (before my time though).

savedbythezsh,

I feel the same way. Designing good, opinionated APIs is HARD, but it also provides the best experience for both the author and the consumer.

  • Prettier is the undisputed king of JS formatters because it has no options by design. You set and forget.
  • One of the reasons iOS is so successful is because they lock down their APIs and put strict standards on apps, making it hard to write something that doesn’t at least look good and slot into the OS well.

Among other examples.

savedbythezsh,

In a world where your IDE and maybe also compiler should warn you about using unicode literals in source code, that’s not much of a concern.

VSCode (and I’m sure other modern IDEs, but haven’t tested) will call out if you’re using a Unicode char that could be confused with a source code symbol (e.g. i and ℹ️, which renders in some fonts as a styled lowercase i without color). I’m sure it does the same on the long equals sign.

Any compiler will complain (usually these days with a decent error message) if someone somehow accidentally inserts an invalid Unicode character instead of typing ==.

savedbythezsh,

I’ve never played any others but SR4 is great, super ridiculous

savedbythezsh,

I didn’t even know this happened lol

savedbythezsh,

That was great, thank you for linking! I expected to just skim it and ended up reading the whole article and the follow-up

savedbythezsh,

Yeah, also a bunch of other details, and the whole plot is way more focused on the war in the movie. In the book it’s more of a backdrop. You should give it a read, it’s worth it :) I also like her other books!

savedbythezsh,

I don’t know the answer, but happy to see someone talking about this book. I feel like so many people know the movie and have no clue that it’s based on the book, nor how much they changed it. I personally love the book and am happy to see it.

savedbythezsh,

These names are really fun! Good ones to add to my list…

savedbythezsh,

I love Saints Row IV. Such a silly game; great way to just fuck around and blow off some steam.

savedbythezsh,

I assume they’re talking about player names, not usernames - steam usernames are unique, but steam player names can be whatever you want and are often duplicates.

savedbythezsh,

What’s stopping you from deleting the game, redownloading it, and setting a new account name? Etc

savedbythezsh,

But a unique identifier in game doesn’t actually enforce bans, because what’s stopping someone from creating a new one? VS if you create a PSN account, you need some sort of verification (e.g. email address).

They could’ve done something similar with a non PSN login, though people would’ve probably still complained. And for them, it’s not 3rd party because it’s published by Sony IIRC, so it’s actually an in house system.

I also don’t own the game, but I just wanted to point out the reason in their argument isn’t entirely invalid.

savedbythezsh,

Cool to see the Immich team going full time. I don’t use it personally but I hear great things
