I’m using Tauri to play around with Rust. I like it so far.

I always thought it uses far fewer resources than electron.

I remember some people saying, “nah, you don’t see it from his perspective, if your son’s life was in trouble and you owned the platform, you’d do the same thing”

I kinda hate that logic because it assumes I’d say the stupid shit enough to put myself into that situation. Not to mention his family’s life wasn’t actually in danger.

26 year old woman … I totally didn’t see that. I don’t think the article mentioned her party affiliation but I think we can all guess.

lobut ,

It doesn’t, I’m just pointing out my own bias.

lobut ,

I have a brother laser printer for years, can confirm.

My friend has one that’s like ten years old, works fine too.

The software is a bit janky and all that but it works.

Yeah, McDs was a no-brainer back in the day.

The cost is absurd for value now. I’d rather go elsewhere.

lobut ,

It really annoys me when they Biden has done nothing.

Then they’re all, “well I didn’t hear about it”

I get that the media and even the Dems suck at showing people what they’ve accomplished, but that doesn’t mean they’ve done nothing.

lobut ,

I’m totally the opposite. I feel you gotta love in a town/city where it’s great. I just moved to a city where I have to drive most places now… I find myself getting lazier … I drive to the gym. That feels bad.

Nonetheless, I respect your unpopular opinion!

Being cold gives me a cold. Yes, I understand that the cold virus is correlated than causal. I just can’t buy it.

However everyone touts the “you huddle more in winter areas together” as if that makes sense. Pretty sure we do that more and in better weather.

lobut ,

That to me makes sense.

However, to be clear, when I posted this … I know I’m wrong. It’s what I felt I unreasonably couldn’t accept.

Penguin Random House and bestselling authors sue Iowa over school book-banning law (www.nbcnews.com)

The nation’s largest publisher and several bestselling authors, including novelists John Green and Jodi Picoult, are part of a lawsuit filed Thursday challenging Iowa’s new law that bans public school libraries and classrooms from having practically any book that depicts sexual activity....

lobut ,

John Green is a Christian and was a student Chaplain at a hospital. I doubt they can do the religion dance with him either.

lobut ,

I do it while watching TV or something. It never seems to stop though. Even better when the kids spill something on the couch or wet the bed and you have to do impromptu laundry in the middle of the non-stop laundry.

I enjoy the base game of HOTS. Then again I only played a bit of League and I didn’t care for the last hit money thing and figuring out what books to level.

I enjoyed the simplification/streamlining of HOTS where you level as a team and select your upgrades. Games then seem to take 20 to 30 minutes? League can sometimes stretch out quite some time, I found (once again, not as much experience with it)

I think they screwed up on the monetization of HOTS though and it really is a shame it didn’t last. Still my favourite MOBA but it seems no one on this thread agrees and they could be right. I don’t play other MOBAs, but I love HOTS.

I actually came close to buying D4 this Black Friday but my friends all reminded me about the recent changes and the reviews and that it’s no longer the regular Blizzard I once loved. I think they were all saying Path of Exile is way better.

lobut ,

It’s a tie. They’re both losers.

lobut ,

I remember when I was working with .NET and I saw some web service code and I saw there was no try catches. They didn’t have a global catch in the asax either or anything. I just wrapped each call into a try catch and log.

I got the same treatment where my manager wanted to know what happened with the increase in errors. I told him what I did. My manager got another developer to go through my commits regardless. I was a bit upset at the lack of trust.

lobut ,

oh yeah I just logged and rethrew, so it shouldn’t have had any behavior change, but I could have broken something I make mistakes all the time.

The errors we were seeing in logs were like logic or application errors that we just didn’t see before. My changes really shouldn’t have caused.

lobut ,

Oh that was like years ago! Probably SVN, we on-boarded Git a little while after.

No pull requests, you just manually merged back then. It’s definitely a workflow improvement we adopted later and we as a company and as an industry have gotten better.

lol, the thing was just that my manager asked me what I did and I told him. Him getting another dev to “fact-check” me after is what bothered me a bit. I am usually the type of look into issues rather than brush them off and I am the first to confess to a screw up. Which is why I was irked.

lobut ,

I remember doing that as a junior because everyone in our codebase did it!

My new team lead came in and asked me why. I said it’s to reformat it due to the layer it was in. He said “…and what did you really accomplish with that?” All we did was bury our real error really well. It made me think about these things and to question convention more

lobut ,

I’m a bystander but I had to re-read it a few times and didn’t get it either … think my brain filled in the gaps instead of reading it properly

I thought he artificially inseminated in order to get his kids for some reason.

Not gonna lie, CZ was a great bullshitter. I’ve seen him do interviews and he was like, it’s better at Binance. What happens if you lose the keys? What happens if you die and your partner needs access?

I thought those were good points even though they aren’t really compelling enough to me.

Don’t question me further on this though. I’m not a crypto person.

lobut ,

Canadian here. It’s 5 years for us!

lobut ,

Makes me think of old school Blizzard. Rest in peace.

I always thought that Miyamoto quote was real too!

lobut ,

I used to be pretty blasé about the flu shot. I was always thinking that I was young and that the shots should go to the elderly and vulnerable. Didn’t realize I was a vector of passing it on.

COVID changed me quite a bit. Got my doses as soon as I could. I mask up crowds too. Not sure it matters but I don’t think it hurts much either.

lobut ,

It’s the default in places like the UK. Tax companies gotta get in there and stall progress for profit.

Republicans accused him of trying to remove God on the money and made him sign shit to “remind him”.

They also accused him of saying tire gauges were his foreign policy plan because they love lying and are a bunch of bastards.

Lots of aren’t fond of the Dems either but the Republicans are just terrible people.

lobut ,

Doubt he’s going to shut it down before the elections. Perfect time for Musk to do the most damage.

lobut ,

Fine. Fine. You talked me into it.

No, no, I’m already set with the equipment.

lobut ,

OMG! I didn’t know that! Thank you! I’ve been having to watch videos again from the start when I accidentally navigate away.

Granted it’s a short time frame but still.

lobut ,

Christ. You guys are insane. I mean, I love it but hoo-boy …

I saw an episode of LegalEagle (I think it was about NFTs) and it’s a terms of sale thing and he spoke about John Cena doing something similar with Ford:

I found the LegalEagle episode:

It’s around 6:49

It’s one of my favorites (when I saw it two decades ago) but I guess I get the references. I just thought Fry pretending not to know what a video game was and the internet being full of ads and sex still relevant? Bender also stealing everything was a delight.

lobut ,

I remember the joke before that being:

“this statue’s only got one eye”

“lazy sculptor”

then when the “no eyes” bit came up … I was cracking up.

Infinity War has its faults. It’s paced a little nonstop and the Wakanda bits are a bit weak. That being said, I saw it ten times in the cinema and it’s the perfect movie for me. I swear – the tail end of Thanos being on Titan to the end of the movie, you can feel how somber it was and I feel that’s because of the connection to the characters. We can always say “oh they’re coming back” but I like to watch the movie on its own and remember just how it felt watching the movie for the first time.

lobut ,

I have a similar policy. It sucks when it’s a video that I’m interested in (at least due to the title) but I refuse to follow along with this stupid trend.

I don’t know much about Lex Friedman or how he became so popular but I watched a few parts with him gushing over Musk and it annoyed me to no end. It was hard for me to watch other parts with that in my mind.

Thanks for linking it so I don’t need to open up Ex-Twitter.

The channel has 25K subscribers with no videos or anything. I love it.

Awesome I can’t wait to try it!

The Cold Takes videos makes me feel like I’m getting some scotch and sitting down and listening to an old friend talk about games in a 1950s detective style bar.

I think I saw some doctor on YouTube explaining that most blind people don’t see pure black. They have varying levels of sight that count as being legally blind due to cataracts or something else.

Don’t get me wrong, the relief they feel for that 30 seconds for their disabilities to come back still fits in with the spirit of this meme.

I always felt Nintendo was rather innovative or at least took risks. Shoulder buttons with the SNES controller. The thumbstick and rumblepack with the N64. Wireless with the wavebird on the GameCube. Motion controls with the Wii. Touch screen with the DS and WiiU.

A lot of these are common sense now but at the times they were introduced they were awesome.

lobut ,

Handheld PC games have been such a “game changer” for me too. I love Nintendo and the Switch but like you said the library was a bit limited. Alongside, the storage and the types of games too.

I’m in bed and playing Ori. I haven’t bought a TV for my bedroom yet and sitting at a desk to play some games feels more cumbersome.

I really like that Steam has really changed things. It really brings PC games to a console-like experience.

lobut ,

Just a funny story. All of our devs and even BAs used to have prod access. We all knew this was a bad idea and put in a process of hiring a DBA.

I think in the first two weeks the DBA screwed up prod twice. I can’t remember the first mess up but the second he had a lock on the database and then went to lunch.

We eventually hired two awesome DBAs to replace that one but oh boy.

lobut ,

You’re not alone. They looked at the Obama Effect: youtu.be/qyQAodO_K20

Yeah man, I came here to laugh and not get all defensive! :(
