These are not necessarily unpopular in terms of subscribers, but nieche in terms of topics:
acollierastro: theoretical physicist with a unique style. What got me hooked are her videos debunking or responding to popular scientific misconceptions.
Ben Eater: teaches computer related subjects like electronics, networking, low level programming, architecture etc. in a fun way. He has a series where he builds a computer from scratch with cables and circuit boards.
Living Ironically in Europe: if 2balkans4you was a youtube channel, although he has some serious content as well
Masaman: mostly talks about genetics, he hasn’t made any new videos in a while.
Max Derrat: he seems to have deep knowledge about occult stuff and its history which he uses to analyse video games and other media.
Ostura Official TV: progressive metal band from Lebanon.
Granted. You wake up one day and see a button at the corner of your vision. You think you’re hallucinating but you’re not. You concentrate on it and a debug menu appears which has all sorts of buttons: undo, redo, stop time, resume time, add money, add strength, set health to max, save, load etc.
It’s great! In fact it’s the best thing that could ever happen to you. You’re free of your depressing life, you can do as you please, you have all the money, all the time, all the chances you could ever want, and you haven’t even seen every option yet.
But after a few weeks it starts to dawn on you that this kind of thing should really be impossible. It’s like it’s straight from a video game. Are you living in a simulation? Is this a test? Is anything real?
The more you think about it the more depressed you get and the things that you enjoyed just days earlier seem meaningless. You explore this debug menu a bit more and you find something that you weren’t expecting: the exit button.
As the days go by and you wake up every morning in your huge mansion with the worst hangover ever, you have had enough and you finally press is.
For a moment everything goes dark but then you wake up. Tubes and cables are sticking out of your body and you can barely walk. It’s dark and cold, you look around and you see millions of other people hooked up in pods, just like you were. You start to make your way forward, trying to find a way to escape this hell, but it seems to go on for hundreds of kilometers, by your estimation. A few days later you die of dehydration.
I actually hated Powershell until I was forced to work on some automation scripts with it and realized that it’s actually pretty cool.
Bash is good for quickly doing something in the terminal but for longer script files I prefer PS now. It feels much more modern and has a less janky syntax.
Funnily enough the reason I had to use it was to make my scripts cross platform between osx, linux and windows.
I saw some memes with Good Omens templates and decided to give the show a watch.
Season 1 was pretty good, the kind of comedy that made me smile occasionally, which is fine.
On the other hand season 2 was mostly boring, 2 episode’s worth of story was stretched out to 6, and the ending ruined the friendship between the main characters, which was the cornerstone of the whole concept.
that’s not even a joke, I’m using intellij community as a merge and diff tool exclusively. it doesn’t support the language I want but even without it it’s better then anything else.
Over the second weekend of November, far-right extremists have planned two separate evening concerts. Acts that explicitly promote racism, antisemitism and violence, and some who are linked to international neo-Nazi networks banned in several countries, will take the stage at an undisclosed location....
That’s already happening as Western taxpayers understandably don’t want to subsidize Orbán’s corruption. But it seems to have the opposite effect of pulling Hungary back to the EU’s side.
I agree, and even if it could I don’t think it should.
But there also should be some kind of mechanism to deal with members whose interests no longer align with the rest of the EU.
Not necessarily kicking them out or punishing them because they are out of line, but cutting funds seams reasonable. We get that money for specific reasons, and if they are not spent to meet those goals they should no longer be handed out.
It’s a good way to get started, and then incrementally type as much as you can, preferably everything.
Later on, or if you start a new project with TypeScript, it’s a good idea to turn on noImplicitAny and only allow explicit any in very specific framework level code, unit tests or if you interface with an untyped framework.
Typescript is a language, Node is a platform and framework. You can use Typescript in your Node project, they’re not mutually exclusive.
The way I see it Typescript is more popular than ever, almost all (popular) libraries come with types and every job offer I get they use Typescript.
And with good reason, our team recently took over a small Javascript app and there are tons of bugs that would never have existed if they were using Typescript. Things like they refactored something but missed to update a reference, or misspelled a variable name, failed to provide a required parameter to a funcrion, referenced a field that existed in another config object etc.
Hey folks, what is everyone playing this week? Are you trying something new or returning to a previously played game or genre? How are you liking what you’re currently playing?
I was a huge fan of the Prince of Persia Sands of Time trilogy. Just before the third game came out I replayed the previous two games again. I managed to get the secret ending of the second game. It’s un understatement that it blew my mind and that the third continued from there instead of the regular ending.
