Being awake at night is a very nice time of peace. No responsibilities, noone wants something from you, you can just be in the crushing silence of your own thoughts
At least offline games can be saved anytime nowadays. I remember so many screaming matches with my parents having to explain that I need to find a save point first.
I looooove that I can save my game in BG3 at basically any time, and I love even more that I can walk away from the game for a minute, even mid-combat, to do something.
News are sporadically placed in-between shows, usually at set times, and ads exist just to give a quick overview over whatever will be reported on, which is basically a very summarized version of the reports, which means we’re back at me not being able to escape the news depression vortex.
This was nearly a decade ago. I worked at a small app company (5-10 developers) for a bit that used Ruby on Rails for our product. The product was in active development, but was available to customers so it was “done”. We were hiring a senior level dev to oversee the team and we interviewed this guy (maybe in his 40s?, a but older than most people in tech) and he said his first order of business if hired would be to refactor the entire code base to php. I don’t think he was joking. I’m not sure why he interviewed.
Since the beginning, GitHub.com has been a Ruby on Rails monolith. Today, the application is nearly two million lines of code and more than 1,000 engineers collaborate on it daily
Right, because there isn't rampant capitalism and wide spread poverty pretty much everywhere else too.. 🙄🙄🙄
(am in UK and you're full of shit. I recommend checking your privilege, or at least taking your head out of your ass long enough to have a look around)
And Europe isn’t expensive to live? Canada? Australia? All of them have very high CoL in population centers. Especially tech hubs. The only place that’s significantly out of whack is CA and to be honest, much of the time it’s still worth it. Go remote and get the best of both worlds is quite common and easy.
Yeah no way could you leave out Canada lmao. As soon as i graduate i’m fucking moving.
Western Europe? Scandinavia? China? Uhh Albania? No idea yet. As long as it’s not this soulless nightmare petrostate. Fuck the rent here and fuck the work culture.
Ridiculously expensive housing without the salaries to match. But at least I don’t have to worry about going broke if ever someone in the family gets sick I guess.
If you get sick you just die, at least here in Victoria. There are no doctors and and people are dying of untreated cancers hahahah man life’s good in Canada
I kinda like it still, because if it’s something i’m looking forward to, then i’m probably super nervous about it, so cancelling it makes me relieved i don’t have to worry about it right now. (Assuming it was just pushed further down the road rather than cancelled forever)
Like, i love DMing TTRPG games, and i hate how hard it is to schedule sessions, but at the same time, i secretly love it when a session needs to be cancelled because i’m always less prepared than i’d like to be.
If it’s an innocent lie like “I was sick last weekend sorry couldn’t hang out” and in reality they were hanging out with their mother or had to put down their dog then whatever. If they didn’t want to tell you they didn’t want to tell you
Were people saying PHP was dead in 1995, the year it was released? I guess maybe?
But who was suggesting abandoning PHP for Django in 2003, two years before the latter was publicly released? I suppose the person who made this must’ve read that Django development started in 2003 and gone with that; most of these years correspond with when the respective project started.
So, the reason Perl (which remained more popular for web development than PHP or any of these things into the early 2000s) isn’t on the list must be because it actually predates PHP.
