To all the young engineers here, this is one of those things that seems really funny and a great idea at the time, but lasts way past the joke being funny.

If you name your services Megatron or aragorn then be ready for business and executives to use those names for 10+ years. The joke is officially dead when you force someone 3 layers above you to demand “why did Galactica go down over the weekend, who is responsible?!”. Be thoughtful in your naming.

There is more than one spiderman

No leg to stand on if you aren’t providing the proof of what you said. We’re forced to side with the mod unless you can prove what you said wasn’t worth removing.

Lived there, can confirm. Then I visited actual modern countries and they look at a distance like that and are baffled that there hasn’t been built a high speed train already. Why would you drive 10 hours when you could sleep, read, or watch TV on a train for 6 hours instead?

This is their pattern. Way Kate to the market with some half baked ideas that has all these aspirations but never does everything right. Plus required Microsoft account, Cortana/copilot/gimmick of the week forced in there.

Iv come to loathe the “pythonic way” because of this. They claim they wanted to make programming easier, but they sure went out of their way to not follow conventions and make it difficult to relearn. For example, for me not having lambdas makes python even more complex to work with. List operations are incredibly easy with map and filter, but they decided lambdas weren’t “pythonic” and so we have these big cumbersome things instead with wildly different syntax.

Same with me. If it’s really good it’s my simple way of honoring them. Plus the music is usually top notch

This is a good time to remember they were never on our side. They were just commoditizing pride.

Namecheap myself for 10ish years now. Never been unhappy

Executive positions attract sociopaths. It’s actually a known ting, studies have confirmed it. The incredible stress, the ruthlessness to get ahead of competitors and push people out of your way to climb to the top. It’s not a surprise honestly

The highest bar to getting into Linux isn’t the technical, the setup, the hardware or anything. It’s the people the ego. Those have always been the largest barrier.

Aw I didn’t know about Roxan. That’s honestly really sad

They are literally triggered by rainbows now

Oh no no everyone is human UNTIL he takes the pill, and realizes they’re all Muppets

Absolutely follow makers first

Fair point. Although London threw me for a loop because it appeared to be the same as a right and driving. Be aware of the local customs, and be aware if you are blocking people

Okay I’m going to go against the grain, and will probably get downvoted to hell, but this is not new. This is PC gaming. This has always been PC gaming. Hot take - you don’t need 4k@60fps to be able to have fun playing games.

New games require top of the line hardware (or hardware that doesn’t even exist yet) for high-ultra settings. Always have, always will. (Hell, we had an entire meme about ‘can it run crysis’, a game that literally could only play on low-medium on even the highest level machines for a few years) Game makers want to make their games not just work now, but want them to look great in 5 years too. Unless you have shelled out over a grand this year for the absolute latest GPU, you should not expect any new game to run on great settings.

In fact, I do keep my PC fairly bleeding edge and I can’t drive more than High settings on most games - and that’s okay. Eventually I’ll play them on Ultra, when hardware catches up. It’s fine.

And as for low to mid level hardware I was there too - and that’s just PC gaming friend. I played Borderlands and Left4Dead the year they came out on a very old Radeon card at 640x480 in windowed mode, medium settings, at about 40fps.

Again, this is just what PC gaming is. If you want crisp ultra graphics, you’re gonna have to shell out the ultra payments. Otherwise, fine tuning low to medium payments, becoming okay with sub 60fps, this is all fairly normal.

Personally, when I upgrade I find great joy in going back and “rediscovering” some of the older games and playing them on ultra for the first time.

You stand on the right side of an escalator/moving walkway. You walk on the left side.

It doesn’t matter if you have multiple people or luggage, the right is for standing, the left is for walking.

I had no idea they went public

I’ve had crickets. As a snack, they’re not bad honestly with the crunch. Mine had a BBQ flavor added
