Am definitely human.
That is depressingly insightful. See also: the internal war on everyone who isn’t a middle-aged white cis het man (and even some of them, too). Just negativity all around.
What really brings me down it’s the certainty that even if that is guy was suddenly not there anymore, there is a whole gaggle of like folk ready to continue that same rhetoric. How do you even dig yourselves out of that?
I have commented stuff like this before, and gotten it deleted (or gotten summarily banned). I have been searching for spaces where this sort of discourse is even allowed, where non-vagina-havers get to say that many men suck but it’s not only their fault and they certainly can’t fix it in a vacuum.
What mates you think I was overkill to replace a ceo?
🙂 Thank you for bringing up a fun memory.
I have not heard of Uplink (nor Bitburner). But I really recommend you try skynetsimulator.com - I am not affiliated, yadda yadda, it’s just a fun, free, online game.
Look, slack is 1000% better than Teams will ever be. But, Slack is also enshittifying themselves, eg. with their 3-month event horizon.
Anything Slack can do, Mattermost does – and Mattermost is free, open source, and self-hostable.
This is my hill.
My sincere apologies, Mexico is definitely on the good list.
…and simply agrees to never, ever, set foot in North America.
I’m in.
Not sure, though, how this ploy would work out for our fine fellows in South America, Mexico, and Canada, the ones currently belabored with being the closest neighbours to The Wastelands.
Honestly, great teachers would have given you extra credit for that work (and possibly used it for future semesters, but let’s not get carried away here).
No but maybe the C-level guys don’t need multiple millions while the actual developers don’t hardly get paid in comparison.
Eh, 80% of what this Dan fellow provides can’t be all that much…
🎶 Es fährt ein Zug, nach Nirgendwo…
(and that’s all I can remember from the song, which I heard on the 80’s Hit parade)
What kind of comms do the wires allow? Sending guidance and simultaneously receiving video?
What was the physicality of wires back then (and do you know what they are today)? Would it feel like walking into a spider’s web, or how sturdy were/are those wires?
How often would a write break, and would that mean total loss of control or is there some form of fall-back?
Curious minds want to know! Thank you.
Imagine walking into a spider’s web, and you couldn’t just wipe it off your face.
It’s a minor concern when a nation’s existence is on the line, but I do wonder how all those wires will affect the fauna and environment.
Curiously, the first wired torpedoes, you’d propel the torpedo forward by pulling on the wire that came out the back of it.
I have never put it into words like that, more like “make zero assumptions”.
I suppose that being overly thorough can make documentation prone to becoming tedious (unless cares is taken to not talk down to the reader) or too tightly coupled (incurring the need to be updated more often as details of the process change).
How do you usually deal with that aspect? What I do is to make the documentation easily skimmable (for advanced readers) and just accept the need for rework.
You’re brutal. You’re not wrong tho.
I had this exact argument about Day of Defeat back before Counterstrike got assimilated by Valve. I had no respect for all the bunny hopping in CS, but enjoyed the slow(er) gameplay and strict limitations of DoD (such as running 40 meters and then panting, very realistic representation of my own fitness lmao).
Precrime wioll haven be here.
Perhaps this is all just highly refined British humour?
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy skips lightly over this tangle of academic abstraction, pausing only to note that the term “Future Perfect” has been abandoned since it was discovered not to be.
It would be hilarious to see random civilians being casually followed by a policeman (policeperson?), overtly and cheerfully “nah mate, you haven’t done a thing. I’m just here to watch. For now. Carry on.”
Yes but do they support the digital national ID and SSO apps that are (only) avaliable for android and apple? Until they do, a lot of users are going to be locked into those two big OS vendors. 😞
