Everyone is a tester. Anyone who says otherwise is from Venus or Mars.

Same people who did No Man’s Sky, in case anyone was wondering like me. Looks good!

Philosophical mustings?

I must have read something because I replied to it. What made you think I had some fortune tellers knowledge of OPs expertise.

Don’t radarr and sonarr download better versions automatically? Seems these measures were drastic.

I’m getting so exhausted with the constant outrage in every goddamn feed in my life.

Probably replaced by Super Mario Bros. Wonder.

Most interested in HDR. Game was super washed out and it was so distracting I stopped playing. Did it improve?

I use this https://github.com/TechnitiumSoftware/DnsServer

Works great so far. Have it running on a PI with DHCP too. Multi vlan/subnet support through single NIC. Solid.

I save so much water since I started working from home.

I used to interview all the time. I thought it was a fun, important process, so they kept giving them to me… until one day a candidate stormed out. We had a panel on one side of the table that had devolved into one-upping each other on who could ask the best brain teasers. Finally the candidate literally said, “Fuck this.” Then got up and walked out. HR asked us WTF and we shrugged and blew it off, but I knew why. We all knew.

Sometime after that I changed my tact into making interviews conversations to get to know each other instead. If I did send someone to a whiteboard, I always got off my ass and joined them up there. Made it a collaboration exercise and never asked any bullshit. Did that for maybe six months to a year and got some awesome people from that process…

At the end of that stretch, HR sat in on one and saw the process for the first time… sometime later I stopped being asked to interview. No reason was given, the invites just stopped coming in. We kept hiring people but I wasn’t a part of it anymore. Coincidence?

Backblaze here.

Just a wild guess: A video that you have to sit through on YouTube about a list of books to read. Probably is deeply unsettling to people who like the world to make sense.

Anyway that’s why I personally closed it once I realized it was a video link.

Immediately thought this was a Cosmos DB wrapper.

The weekly free games shopping cart is convenient. Never play them, but collecting them is super simple.

Seems like these are all corner cases, straw men, and not every day things. I actually sort of agree with the sentiment about “what does it matter”. But there is one big thing that you missed: stability and trust. If Epic decides to wrap it up one day, you’re done. Steam is less likely to do that since primary business model and profit generator.

Pick the platform with the best deals, and weigh in the stability/trust argument. For me that means using Epic for free weekly games, and Steam whenever they have sales. Almost never buy any other time unless a large group of friends are starting something. FOMO is real.

Oh wow I thought I was the only one.

Yeah we can invent yet another language, and go through the motions of including everyone. But by god make sure you don’t forget anyone. Let’s throw in Chamicuro, Warlpiri, Liki, Tanema, Ongota, and Dumi, just to make sure. Don’t want to upset anyone….

Or we could stop inventing new ways to accuse things of not being inclusive enough. It’s getting bonkers… Not saying Esperanto is the best language, and it has its flaws as others have so vehemently stated, but if inclusivity is the primary motive when designing a language, then I can almost certainly guarantee that new language will be much worse.

I mean English is basically the world language. It’s used by pilots, scientists, global finance, and diplomatic efforts. I’m gonna assume that almost no one would classify English as inclusive in its vocabulary. Unless you’re German, Dutch, or French of course. Esperanto is at least more accessible and easy to learn and carries Latin roots… shared with lots of languages. And it was invented by a member of a repressed minority in the old Russian Empire. What’s not to love?

You made me think of that xkcd about standards.

Anyway, the eurocentrism argument, while perhaps true due to the Latin root, seems to be a little bit of a savior complex don’t you think? China itself pushed for Esperanto to be used as a business language internally late last century as I recall.

Esperanto.
