Blech, this is my least favorite kind of testing. I’d much rather have some all-encompassing integration tests even if they’re confusing AF, than the “yep the language still works as advertised” nonsense that this approach often amounts to.

You’ve never sharked a genie? What a prude!

Just wanna add another Bazzite recommendation! If you’re on the fence and feeling like “but my games!” - Bazzite’s got your back. Shit works great.

More and more businesses and events of all kinds just default to a Facebook presence though. We were gonna go to a rodeo on Friday. Had some rain in the afternoon, wanted to find out if there was any schedule impact etc. No way to find out, except on Facebook, or driving down there.

Needing a Facebook visit to enjoy a rodeo is stupid lol.

Oddly enough it works just as well to do so silently.

For me it’s less about fear and more about having a limited budget of time and effort to spend on learning things, so CSS and front end generally gets deprioritized. But that’s cuz I’m a back end kinda dev in my soul, lol.

I’ve seen the good points you’ve made elsewhere in this thread - I would indeed react very poorly to willy-nilly back end changes and I think you’re right that people don’t give CSS and visual styling the same degree of professional respect when making changes. And that sucks.

Interesting, I’m assuming you’re comparing running via ECS yeah? My current gripe is that doing everything serverless is reasonably priced, but it ends up adding a bunch of annoying complexity. Like enough that after more than a year we still don’t have things standardized all that well and I still get bitten by stuff sometimes.

Edit: sorry you said VMs referring to cloud hosted too, I missed that. Yeah, that’s expensive, and the serverless alternatives can get annoying.

I also grew up on Windows and spent my whole career with it, personal machines too. Decades of use. Made the switch over the holidays, only one Windows box left in the house and its days are numbered. I’m even replacing Chromebooks with old business class Dell laptops running Linux.

Totally done with these companies, but Windows in particular is just an abomination these days.

That’s really a pretty staggering fact when you think about it. Windows has jumped the shark so completely that you prefer Linux for running old Windows games. I feel like even just 5 years ago, most folks would find a statement like that completely bizarre, and now it’s taken as entirely sensible.

It has been so entertaining to watch these idiots trash one of the most dominant market positions in the history of markets. Just amazing stuff. And I really think we’re gonna see that get even worse! I should be buying stock in popcorn lol

Actually I criticized your comparison to blowing up the place a family lives, and I also said your argument is unserious, and I also implied that the way that company behaves and its intentions change the calculations, fundamentally, about the value of peace. But of course you’re not engaging with any of that, just making bad faith takes that deliberately miss the point.

Later dork.

What a dumbass take, are you trying to be obtuse? Who would make an argument that exploding anything is peaceful?

I’m saying “peace” is not the ultimate moral value you seem to think it is. Fuck being peaceful towards those who want the very worst for us. There’s no moral high ground in peacefully letting fascists do fascism, actually the morality of the situation points in the exact opposite direction. I’m guessing you don’t actually know very much about Palantir.

Nothing Palantir does has peace in mind. And they for damn sure aren’t someone’s home. Get a grip.

Sounds like a certain lake troll is agitating to improve his lake-dwelling experience, if ya ask me.

So I think I was wrong, but you are too lmao.

10¹²⁰ is the number of valid game-trees, or valid ~80 move games.

The much smaller number I quoted above, though, IS the valid positions, I was thinking it was actually the trimmed down “truly valid” game-tree sequences.

Isn’t math fun? Limitless ways for us to be wrong!

valid chess positions is in the neighborhood of 10⁴⁰ to 10⁴⁴

Lol, big board you’re playing with…

I enjoy and appreciate nature in nearly all its forms. Even mosquitos just tryna live, they’re born required to bite somebody 🤷‍♂️

Fuck the Canada goose.

Fuck em as a group, fuck their whole flocks, fuck a flying V of Canada geese. Fuck em as an entire grand, branching lineage of this strange fractal miracle we call life, get rid of the Canada goose and our timeline returns to the more harmonious path it had been on before everything stopped making sense.

Canada is cool, fuck that goose tho.

Yeesh. For the privilege of yourself and your users working with a horrible buggy mess of half replaced, half duplicated (triplicated? worse?) apps and features.

And a near guarantee that in a 5 year timeframe, you see 1+ others who paid for that “data in my own jurisdiction” service somehow get fucked in ways they shouldn’t, be it leak or strongarm or whatever.

I’m not suggesting Windows is doomed or anything extreme, but they have cratered their credibility with anyone paying attention. Whole thing feels closer to poorly strung together malware than a serious OS to me.

Sounds like Copilot pulled their programming socks WAY UP that day

This is hilariously autistic sounding for a machine.
