Yeah, this guy is either trolling or doesn’t have the faintest clue what a good education actually comprises.

Yes, wholeheartedly. They’re not cheating the school—they’re cheating themselves. If you’re paying 200k+ for an education, for what earthly reason would you then skip the actual education?

A can opener from a convenience store. It was barely sharp enough to puncture the metal of the can and exploded the moment I turned the crank.

Professional athletes also have some of the strongest unions in the country, since they’re a small group of practically irreplaceable workers, and many of the league structures are the result of collective bargaining between players and owners.

Maybe a weird take, but check out some fencing shoes. There’s a ton of variety but they seem to have the traits you’re looking for:

• Rounded heel
• Responsive up in the toes
• Generally look like normal street shoes

I stand all day. When I first switched I alternated when my legs got tired, but that only lasted a couple days.

Pure anecdote, but as someone with a long, shitty back, I definitely noticed a marked improvement in how my back felt when I switched to a standing desk.

Sekiro, and nothing else has ever come close. It’s so smooth and so fast that I drop into the flow state with no trouble at all.

It’s been steadily overrun by bots, and I guess the community hit a breaking point

I think it is fair to say that having skin in the game suggests that they are making these ethical judgments in good faith; that is, that they genuinely believe that they are making the ethically correct choice in propagating their brutal war. I do not, however, think that level of personal liability inclines them any more strongly towards making genuinely ethical decisions, only ones that they genuinely believe to be ethical.

“Never use a knife as anything but a knife or you’ll end up disappointed and with a broken knife.”

Not sure where I heard that first, but it’s stuck with me.

doesn’t understand that this is a useful first step in debugging

reacts with anger when devs don’t magically have an instant fix to a vague bug

Yep, that’s a manager

I have a friend who was a classic Catholic libertarian in college–he held some views on trans rights, abortion, and economic justice that I find deeply disagreeable. It made conversations a little tricky because there were a whole set of topics I couldn’t bring up unless I wanted to wade into a debate immediately; sometimes I did, but often I just wanted to hang out and chill and that was hampered.

It took him exactly one year of being out of college and working a real job to realize that his economic views were fucked, and the whole rest of it unraveled from there. He’s now a staunch leftist, and it’s way, way easier to hang out with him.

That’s not, however, to say it’s not worth having friends you disagree with. We remained friends because we were able to disagree productively, and I feel I understand my own political views far better for all those long nights discussing them. Still, it was a friendship that took unusual effort to maintain.

Haven’t seen this one on Mlem

My big dumb orange boy loves to sit right in front of the subwoofer. I guess he’s a metalhead at heart.

~In a modern title designed to be played at 60+, definitely. I’ve been having a blast in dark souls 1 and GTA:SA recently, both of which are capped at 30. Older games are made to work at that FPS, and it takes remarkably little time to adjust and have it feel normal. If I tried to play armored core at 30fps, on the other hand, I think I’d rip my teeth out in frustration.~

Edit: misinterpreted the comment above as “unless it’s VR (i.e., in all cases except VR), you are not having fun” rather than “unless it’s VR, in which case you are not having fun.”

In my experience refactoring lots and lots of crappy code left by devs long gone, a dev who can write useful comments is by and large a dev who can write code clean and simple enough not to need them. If the code doesn’t have informative names and clear separation of concern, chances are a comment won’t help because the dev didn’t really know what they did that worked in the first place.

Damn that takes me back a ways. Haven’t thought about this video in years lol
