Whatever that weapon is called, it’s responsible for the only defeat on Musashi’s record. So this guy with just a wooden sword is definitely unsafe.

The debut of Shrek?

Your point is actually what makes remote work so much more effective. When you work in an office, you get used to things working by chance - people seeing what others are doing, talking about it on coffee breaks and so on. When everybody is working remotely, you quickly realize that those things that happened by chance were actually a lot more important than it might seem at first - and then you can do the dumb thing and go back to having it happen by chance, or you can change your processes to ensure that everyone who may have anything to say about what you’re doing, know that you’re doing it.

The one that really impressed me was the capital on Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. At one point I was walking on top of the walls surrounding it and looking around for a nice screenshot and I was just in awe of how great that city was.

Nah I’m sure there’s tech now to make it air tight even while fully open, so it’ll prevent anything from passing through while allowing anything to pass through.

To this day I still don’t know what Vegemite is. To me it’s the thing from the sandwich from down under. And that’s good enough.

In the early century I’ve seen companies bundle an entire pc (with case and all) inside their own products just to avoid dealing with windows CE.

Oh I didn’t know that! Gonna have to take a trip through some old photos one of these days.

You know what? I just realized I haven’t actually tried to open a webp file in years. I’m just so used to cancelling the save dialog and taking a screenshot instead when I see a webp extension, I didn’t even consider it might actually be supported now.

He’s probably no longer there, the pic is quite old and Google has updated a lot of its street view stuff over the years. Unless this is some place where 2012 was the first time that google decided to map - in that case it may be pretty low on the priority list for updating.

I didn’t even start listening to music until I was already an adult.

At one point long ago (just for a short while), I thought Delphi was destined to take that place. It was much higher level while still letting you go as low level as you wanted- it didn’t have garbage collection but it made it pretty easy to keep track of what is or isn’t allocated, on top of having good tools to find leaks on runtime. But it had too many problems too: the Pascal base and the association with drag and drop coders being some of the first ones, followed by a series of bad decisions by whatever company was responsible for it at any given week.

June and July deserve to share the same U too. In some languages it’s only the N/L that changes between them.

Huh, this sort of issue is what made me leave KDE in the first place. Haven’t had such problems on gnome.

“what are you saying? That I can quit vim?”

“no Neo, what I’m saying is - when you’re ready, you won’t have to.”

But they also keep you in your toes. Nobody ever worries about what their fish is doing while they aren’t looking.

Audio communication is too slow. If Humans can’t evolve to communicate telepathically, language itself should evolve to account for this. Here’s what I propose:

• we develop a mathematical formula to generate a fingerprint/signature for sentences we intent to say;
• before saying anything, we calculate this fingerprint in our head, then say this fingerprint result, followed by the actual thing we want to say
• the listener then gets this fingerprint result and keeps in mind; whenever it tries to predict what the full sentence from the speaker is going to be, it calculates the fingerprint for the predicted sentence and compares it to the fingerprint received at the start.
• if the fingerprints match, then the listener reports: “I got it” and the speaker can then skip saying the rest of their sentence.

Surely this is bound to improve communication for everyone and would have no downsides whatsoever.

(Sorry, the amphetamines must be kicking in right about now).

I somehow managed to get pretty good at getting a good feeling of “did this person understood what I want them to understand?” and I adapt my level of overexplaining based on that feeling.

It’s something I wish other people did to me as well, as I hate it when people keep talking more to make the same point I already got. Tbh sometimes I even wish people would stop mid-sentence if I already autocompleted their sentence in my head.

I remember at one point the front-end guys I knew were laughing that it didn’t even support iframes. But I imagine it eventually got decent enough.

Meanwhile in my company the leadership just thinks that we have a messaging problem after the new AI stuff we implemented made absolutely no difference in the sales numbers.
