Yep, gotta work with that on a daily basis because its in the protocol I have to work with.

Their strategy so far is to close and overhaul lines completely. I think it is somewhat fair to expect that’s cheaper and faster than overhauling one side at a time. They prioritize by traffic and urgency of overhauls. It is a solid strategy - but it comes with major disruptions of long distance travel

Long distance is worse then regional lines iirc.

Regional is mostly okay, but every now and then there is one not arriving at all

This has 100% happened irl

Good point as well

You gotta either build monetization right into the game or offer an easy way to buy it. There’s a reason why payment processors and stores in general try to reduce friction to a minimum.

If you wanna pay for something you either do it right away and without much hassle or very likely never. Personally I would even rather buy a game right away and be dissapointed (and potentially revisit it later) than download a demo first. I realize that this is a privileged position to be in, but either way it is an advantage for you if I don’t think about spending money too much

You think the Rockstar marketing team is trying to scam people with a shitcoin? I am not shure even greedy CEOs would sign that…

I mean that and the leaker is German and has been active for a while as it seems

Any distro can break at any update. If you’ve ever done a major upgrade on any fixed-release distro, you have very likely experienced some sort of issue.

And the solution is very simple (and the same for all distros): Enable Snapshots, roll back if important stuff breaks.

Just tested it - can confirm, does look sharp.

Thanks KDE!

…That they have to shut down all the time because of droughts. And they basically need to rebuild half of it, because the maintenance cost is so high, it is constantly pushed into the future.

Few emissions? Yeah. Good? Nope.

Believe it or not, they sold all 20

Micro. What you are looking for is micro. It’s great

It is insane how far using the same shortcuts literally everything else can get you in the world of terminal text editors and yet here we are

I won’t miss writing code. In part because I still do when I feel like it, but also because most of the time it is extremely boring. A mere mean to a goal for which you probably have the path mapped out in your brain already. It is basically just busywork at that point.

There are these moments where you need to squeeze out performance, where you change something about the UI or generally visuals and get a pleasing result, or where you discover a small tweak that collapses a lot of complexity you originally planned for - but that is, in my humble experience, not the norm in programming. The vast majority of code is boilerplate or stuff you have already written a thousand times in some variation. The more experience you have the worse it gets.

I was ecstatic when I realized how good agents have gotten, realized how I could focus on design and architecture and with small corrections, get more than adequate software. Because for me personally, programming is the least fun part of software development. Most of the time that is. And you can hate it all you want, but programming is a skill worth nothing on its own now, and it will never be again. You can take solice in the fact that you can still do it for fun if you want to.

Wait, you are not telling me you use a single 3 layer piece to wipe, are you?

Just remember: Rule 34 exists for a reason.

Living good and ethically sound is a best-effort kind of thing these days

It is an important topic - don’t wanna get your boy pregnant by accident. Thorough research is a must

I would actually love Proton to spin up a service for age verification that actually does just that. Be it only to see how fast governments start complaining when they tell them they don’t have any data on their users…

I don’t want my stuff streamed to even a small company. I’m talking OSS and local processing. I’m mostly into it for AR with smartphone integration, I wouldn’t mind having no mics and no option to permanently store any images of that thing
