Daylight bulbs are everywhere in Japan and it's so strange. I tried looking for warm light bulbs at a local store and they don't even stock them as an option. I do see them used in some people's houses so I'm sure it's not universal, but the prevalence of daylight/cool bulbs is weird to me, I'm very much warm bulb gang.
I hate that as an adult I think of things that would be interesting to experiment all of the time, many of them would be doable for a school-aged kid. But when I was a kid it was so hard to think of any interesting projects 🤦♂️ I think parents can be helpful to come up with ideas at least.
The game has a few subtle mechanics that are not so obvious but more or less essential for progressing deep.
I haven't played in a few years, >!but IIRC it's extremely helpful to funnel aggro'd enemies through doors. Not only does it make it easier to fight only one at a time, but you get a surprise attack/crit on the turn the enemy enters the door frame and "discovers" the player.!<
The best part is when they purposely use only one notification channel, so you either have to disable all of them or none of them. And it's not because they don't know you can make multiple channels, nope, it's because some product manager figured out there's a higher rate of delivery for marketing notifications if they don't let users have fine-grained control. Metrics above all else 👑
No one that serious about network security wouldn't already have a network dedicated to untrusted devices relatives could use. Definite joke, still entertaining 😂
Love seeing a post about Anki, it's a great tool. I've been studying Japanese for about a year with it, and my reading and writing skills have increased dramatically. It helps that I studied with formal classes in college (up to 400 level) but I think mastering a language requires a lot more than what classes can provide. I still severely lack in speaking skill but I'll have other study plans for that later 🙈 Being able to write the joyou kanji and read/write the 10000 most common Japanese words is my current goal and Anki is excellent for that.
Imagine being the IT person that maintains those. Do they get to live on the superyacht on call? Or do they get serviced when he takes the yacht into the shop. These are my questions. I'm sure he knows about PCs but ain't no billionaire maintaining 15 gaming PCs himself.
I mean I guess if you're in the air at night then yeah you can open them. My last few flights were long haul going west during the day, so the sun never goes down, and people sleep the whole way.
In any case if you're on a flight longer than a couple hours you're not allowed to open them anyway, they make you keep em shut so people can nap 🙈 But it's fun to look out for the takeoff and landing. But the planes that tint the windows are the best.
I play a fair amount of multiplayer FPS and I pretty much just assume I have to boot into my Windows partition for them because of anti-cheat. The fact there are some FPS games that actually support Linux is surprising news for me, hopefully more devs start adding support.
As a dev working on a large project using gradle, a lot of the time interfaces are useful as a means to avoid circular dependencies while breaking things up into modules. It can also really boost build times if modules don't have to depend on concrete impls, which can kill the parallelization of the build. But I don't create interfaces for literally everything, only if a type is likely going to be used across module boundaries. Which is a roundabout way of saying they reduce coupling, but just noting it as a practical example of the utility you gain.
Comcast doesn't necessarily have to go away as long as they don't have a monopoly on the infrastructure used to deliver an essential utility to homes. But I'd have to agree it would be nice if they just went away too.
I just can't get over why he needs a massive mousepad for software development and yet is using the shittiest keyboard possible. Maybe in between builds he's queueing up for Fortnite?
well this is just great, literally yesterday I upgraded to a new Brother printer after 14 years with my old HP laser printer. I may have to consider returning but damn I'm so happy finally having automatic duplex printing and scanning. Honestly the amount they are pushing a subscription toner service had me kinda skeptical already, just seemed really weird from a company everyone has been touting as so consumer friendly
Almost everything about OW1 is now back in OW2! 6v6 is back, loot boxes are back. You can even play the OW1 metas if you want, though they pretty much only show just how much better the game has gotten over the years.
I've been playing OW1 since launch and have really liked OW2, my only complaint was that they were making playable heroes unlockable, but that was fixed a long time ago.
probably not, but on the fediverse you can be your own admin
Coffee is unhealthy at the volume I drink it

I bought my Dreamcast solely for Sonic Adventure 2, was so worth. I played the hell out of that
No, because it will be great initially and then gradually erode into a system worse than we have now 🙃

Kotlin/JS would be my first choice ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
