It’s the Data Science craze all over again. Hope we’re done with this soon.

Best of luck everyone!

I would love to win one of the keys for the Final Fantasy VII Remake.

Or how to fix your printer.

I am a happy backblaze user and generally I’ve only heard good things about them.

They do have multiple data centers and they are operating B2B products too.

Is there anything in particular that would make you think they could be unreliable?

Long time vim user here. Practically had to choose right after starting as a dev, never looked back. All my editors/IDEs run in vim mode nowadays.

I don’t like the hassle of plugin management in vanilla vim.

I didn’t like evil spacemacs, but I do enjoy magit a lot.

Then tried neovim: good out-of-the-box experience, better plugin management, ready-to-use systems like nvchad. It’s been great.

I just started baking bread, with the goal of making healthy sourdough bread, pizza, and other baked goods.

Sorry, but wtf was as innovative as to warrant a GOTY in Starfield?

EDIT: no a hater, 90hrs played, overall would not recommend and genuinely don’t see what was innovative.

The point of my comment was not really that there are no cheaper options. The point is that I should be, by most measures, firmly middle class and should be able to afford to buy a house around the place where I work. It’s not Munich or Hamburg, and I was not looking for something close to the city center. I was just looking for a decent house for my family.

I fixed a typo in the title:

How Inflation Putin stole Christmas across Europe.

I have lived in Germany for 7 years. I hold a STEM master‘s degree and was working an industry job that paid market rate salaries. With 50k€ in savings I was still denied mortgages because 50k was just barely covering the additional purchase costs (such as realtor and notary fees).

For a modest condo with a small garden in a small-ish city in central Germany I would’ve had to work and pay the mortgage until I retired, because the average house was 600k EUR. And most of the properties sold at that price still needed significant renovations.

If that is not f^cking crazy, then I don’t know what is.

I paid for the premium edition, and I guess I just wanted to force myself to like it because of how much I was on the hype train. I doubt I would’ve gone 60 hours deep otherwise. I was just waiting for that one thing that made it special, but it never came.

I had some nagging feelings about Starfield from the start and I hoped they would go away. Many of the overhyped features lost their shine quite quickly.

I did give it a real chance and have about 60 hours logged. In the end what killed it for me is how small it feels. It’s just a bunch of levels connected by fast traveling, lots of locations are copy and pasted, the „capital of the universe“ has like 20 buildings and feels dead, etc

I have 300+ hours in Skyrim, and I am more likely to return to Skyrim than to Starfield.

Also, dragon shouts in space? Ridiculous.

Regarding BG3: I’m enjoying it. It’s a bit steep for someone who didn’t have much exposure to the D&D universe and D&D overall, but I already see the depth and the replay value. It’s a great game.

After realizing I don’t actually enjoy Starfield any longer, I started playing BG3

Tableplus

Been using it since it was in beta, it just does everything I need, supports many SQL and NoSQL DBs and has been a joy to work with overall.

Found a bug in the Cassandra driver a while back and the team was very responsive and pushed a fix in just a few days.
