For me it finally did. A long time team member who in the past year probably had negative productivity was let go. Sucks for that person, but a big relief for everybody else.

Now this is Sweden where unions and labor laws are strong, so usually it’s difficult to fire long time employees like that.

It’s probably just some basic script triggering on stuff like “died”, “all lost” and “I have nothing”.

Anaconda in TimeSplitters 2, mostly for the incredibly catchy music.

magic_lobster_party,

Wait until you realize PS3 is older than what SNES was when PS3 was released.

Adobe did it because everybody and their grandmother just pirated Photoshop instead of paying that huge one time fee (licenses costed around $900 not counting inflation). It wasn’t until they went with the subscription model when people actually started to pay for Photoshop.

magic_lobster_party,

Apparently it’s worth $20/month.

magic_lobster_party,

No one uses Gimp for professional use. Gimp is not a full replacement of what Photoshop does.

The library of Anonymous' hacked/leaked datasets is in danger of being closed (ddosecrets.com)

The administrators of the DDoSecrets website write that they have run out of money for funding. If they don’t raise $150,000 by January 31, 2024, they might be forced to suspend operations. This is written on the red banner that appears when you go to the site....

The Bush administration is not the same as the Trump administration. When people voted for Trump they didn’t vote for the Republican Party. They voted for Trump.

Trump was for example incredibly vocal about reducing the support to NATO. Of course the Russians would do anything to make those ideas happen.

The less we need of it, the better either way.

magic_lobster_party,

I will never forgive them for closing down free radical. It’s the closest we’ve been to a new Timesplitters game in a long time.

magic_lobster_party,

Must be a new addition. I haven’t seen it either until now.

magic_lobster_party,

Let’s hope it’s about as successful as Facebook’s Libre/Diem

magic_lobster_party,

At this point I’m almost a product manager manager, just to be sure they don’t do any stupid stuff.

magic_lobster_party,

Version numbering scenes are also arbitrary. In the case of Linux, the scheme is “Bump up the minor version until it’s too big. In that case bump up the major version instead”.

magic_lobster_party,

Don’t touch things unless you have a good reason to do so. And when you have a good reason, touch it exactly as much as you need - but never more.

magic_lobster_party,

One benefit of using dropwhile is that (with a bit of practice) it can actually be easier to read than a for loop. All for loops look similar. You need to read the for loop line by line to understand what it really do.

With dropwhile (or map, filter and reduce), it’s immediately obvious it will drop all elements until a certain condition turns false.

This assumes a lot about how Reddit works internally. They might just store every edit of each comment forever.

Assassins will be assigned to the assassins assigned to the assassins!

magic_lobster_party,

At the time it was their lowest selling home console ever. Only Wii U has done worse since. Meanwhile PlayStation 2 is the highest selling console of all time - even to this day. The disappointing figures of GameCube led Nintendo to find their own niche with Wii.

GameCube is still my favorite game console of all time.

Maestro, a Linux compatible kernel written in Rust. (blog.lenot.re)

Enter Maestro, a unix-like monolithic kernel that aims to be compatible with Linux in order to ensure wide compatibility. Interestingly, it is written in Rust. It includes Solfége, a boot system and daemon manager, maestro-utils, which is a collection of system utility commands, and blimp, a package manager. According to Luc,...

And I’m confused why I got two comments going into the OOP tangent, when I made no mention about it at all.

magic_lobster_party,

No worries! I love conversations bashing on 00s-style OOP principles.
