Do they cut corners? If not, it might not bee that bad for cityblock bases where the spacing is one chunk.

Oof, that was a hard one. Autocorrect strikes again.

One of the solutions was to put it in a giant metal ball and throw it into the sun or something. The salt was just out of spite.

At least I won’t be a snail in a metal ball full of salt.

EDOT: Typo, snail <-> small

Most games are ok, big online games are usually not (anything that has kernel level anti cheat, straight up bans Linux, or uses a third party launcher that doesn’t have much support on Linux). Usually can be overcome, but can result in a ban. For those games, you can either dual boot or virtualize Windows (which also can get u banned).

Tons of games have Proton support (check ProtonDB). If you select a stable distro and don’t install custom stuff, you should be good without knowing much besides hitting Update all button from time to time and pasting any error message you get into your preferred search engine. Hell you can install SteamOS and be eternally happy.

Hopefully only Linux ISOs ^/s

In one of Vsauce’s videos he suggested a good visualisation of the number of unique shuffles of a deck of cards that was originally suggested by Scott Czepiel.

Imagine you have a friend that is shuffling a deck of cards and ordering the deck uniquely every second. Also imagine that every action you take is completed instantaneously.

You stand on the equator. Wait a billion years. Then take a step. Wait another billion years. Then take another step. Continue this until you have got back to where you started.

Then take 0.02ml from the Pacific Ocean. Wait another billion years. Then take a step. Continue until you get back to where you started and take another drop out of the Pacific Ocean.

Repeat this process until the entire Pacific Ocean is empty. Then place a sheet of paper on the ground at sea level.

Refill the ocean and repeat - wait a billion years between steps as you walk around the equator, take a drop of water out of the Pacific Ocean every time you get back to where you started and place a piece of paper on the ground in a tower before refilling the Pacific Ocean and repeating.

When the tower of paper reaches the sun do you think that your friend has managed to produce each, unique ordering of the cards?

Nope! Not even close…

If you were to repeat all of the above 3000 times, then he’d be pretty much done.

Article for the sake of stirring up drama. Uncle Ben is a bad person, but that doesn’t mean he can’t have an opinion that someone likes (for example the development video mentioned in the FFF).

I also understand he is not a native English speaker and some words might get lost in translation. He is Czech, as I am, and I don’t really see anything wrong with what he wrote.

This is “mildly interesting” at most.

Alright, what is the solution when I just don’t wanna move? Do I keep using an outdated version, where both the browser extension and android app stops working because the API might introduce a BC break? I still got the web UI, which will work as long as the sun shines, but that’s pretty annoying to keep tabbing to.

Do you eat it with or without the microwave?

Fuck agile, or scrum, or whatever it is called. I just look at the issues and pick whatever I feel like doing. Kanban for life.

That’s when you start introducing modules that have the least impact on the legacy code base. Messaging is a good place to start, but building a new code next to the existing one and slowly refactoring whenever you got time to spare is at least a bearable way to go about it.

You sweet summer child…

Well, worst case scenario I die and he gets jail time.

Oh, also, I am sure a balloon costs more than 1000$, so I am stealing that, lol.

Good luck exchanging information ^over the distance I specified^

Good luck with getting him to pay from 50 meters up in the air

I do that by default. I have to actively think about empathy when I do CRs, because the other devs (who should not be doing these kinds of mistakes) just can’t fucking do their job right for once.

But when I am getting a review, I don’t get mad unless I am personally attacked (happened with a colleague who had a very high ego and somehow made it to a higher position, finally being let go about half a year back).

That’s transpiling, not compiling. Compiling is usually meant as “directly to machine code”, but I am yet to find an “official definition”.

Sure, but we need to shake hands first.
