Should I upgrade from elm to pine?

The story is done. Even when it wasn’t, the game felt like you were getting eight paragraphs of story per season spread over one paragraph per week.

I mostly pvp, the population is so bad that matchmaking has necessarily become terrible or there would be no matches. Every lobby has outliers on the high and low skill. The algorithm seems to put the six best players on the same team. I am either slaughtering the other team or getting slaughtered. A competitive match is a super rare occurrence. Anyway the lack of players makes the experience bad which is causing a death spiral. Anyone new is virtually guaranteed a bad experience, because most of the people left are the sweats.

I don’t know why I still play. Habit I guess. I have a huge backlog of games I ought to be playing instead. I game to relax and investing in the learning curve of a new game doesn’t feel very relaxing.

No, no, one of the main benefits of OOP is information hiding. If your code is too greppable, developers can circumvent the information hiding.

I got permabanned for saying I would like to see how Eisenhower would treat some Nazi marchers in Wisconsin. Apparently, that is not a commentary on how far the Republicans have shifted, but is actually advocating violence. I haven’t been supplying Reddit with free content since. Their loss, I had a pretty decent amount of karma, so I probably was contributing to the popularity of their site.

I use GVIM everyday.

I frequently use CentOS because that is what the embedded system I work on runs.

I use cygwin regularly professionally and at home. Identifying specific software within it is tough, but I definitely use grep and g++ all of the time.

Because people don’t like jumping out of windows to their death.

Used to be Dallas was pretty famous- Kennedy shooting, cheerleaders, and a titular TV show.

I’d say Salem, Massachusetts (pop just under 45k) is pretty famous thanks to the witch trials.

There are some games where if you don’t do the side quests, you find yourself under leveled and struggling. Happened to me in Witcher 2 even though I thought I had completed all of the side quests in an area. Had to go back to the previous area and grind some more.

As someone who has done some hand coding of AVX-512, I appreciate their willingness to take this on. Getting the input vectors setup correctly for the instructions can be a hassle, especially when the input dataset is not an even multiple of 64.

This still stresses me out because my software is mission critical, safety related, and blindly assumes that the calculations will be correct.

I have a long list of people I would execute if I could get away with it. The transgressions that get you on the list are numerous and varied.

My parents bought a Plymouth Reliant K Car. It was so bad that no one in my extended family has ever considered purchasing a Chrysler product since. I don’t understand how Iacocca saving Chrysler with the K car was not prosecuted as fraud on the American people. That thing was a piece of shit. My favorite feature was how the air conditioner had a condensation collection tray that would fill with water as it operated. Then when you stopped the water would slosh out onto the feet of the front passenger. The floor in ours eventually rusted from the AC condensate. (Lived in Houston which is both humid and hot requiring year round AC). It had plenty of other problems too (shitty carb, bad brakes, lots of squeaks and rattles). My parents sold it before I was old enough to drive.

I like it because I have been unwillingly participating in it for decades. 70% loss of population on average for monitored species since 1970. It is not going to get better any time soon either.

There is a reason it is called a scrum.

Looks like WotC just found their new director of marketing. Seriously, shut your pie-hole before you inspire them. ;)

I have done quite a bit of C, C++, Ada, and Pascal development. I recently got into Rust. I am still getting used to Rust, but it feels a bit like someone tried to apply Ada to C++. I like the modern development environment, but I am slower writing code than I would be in Ada or C++. The one feature of Ada that I really like and want other languages to adopt is the Rep spec. I write driver code and being able to easily and explicitly identify which symbol corresponds to which bit is really good.

How are they shocked by anything any more? Ho hum, my world is full of carcinogenic hazards at every turn. The ocean is borderline too acidic to support life any more. The glaciers are melting far faster than our models predicted (because any model that predicted these rates was discarded as obviously wrong, politically unpalatable, and likely to prevent the receipt of future grants. Melting arctic permafrost now emits more green house gasses than Japan (#5 emitting nation). Except the worst and you won’t be disappointed.

Why are we training kids on civics with Fox News or MSNBC? People are dumb and will continue to be so.

People over 80 don’t have as much of a stake in the future. Maybe they should lose the vote?

More like “Dammit, my domain auto-remewed again. Oh well, it’s only $12. I’ll cancel next year.” (It’s been 5 years.)
