Do others feel somewhat conflicted talking positively about commercial goods/services?

Sometimes I feel like if I do so I’m basically serving as an ad, and I don’t really care for that, especially if later I find that the business was scummy in some ways (which is often the case, especially later as it changes leadership/ownership)....

learningduck,

But if a product is so damn great, do you want a person whom you care about to use an alternative product and have a worse experience?

When I see people using LastPass, I feel obligated to inform them about BitWarden, because it’s free, open sourced and audited.

learningduck,

Solid is a decent starting point. I think the only notable recurring character is Grey Fox, which could get you confused, and that’s it.

learningduck,

You have to adopt Emacs and show her that she can even play Tetris on it.

learningduck,

I used to have a cheap mechanical keyboard that has side rainbow RGB panels that can’t be turned off. I thought that would be turned off when I turn off the backlight. Nope.

learningduck,

Do you have to model a replacement part all by yourself? Or is it easy to find blueprints online?

I imagine that if I have to model them myself, they would come out wrong most of the time.

learningduck,

I guess it’s things like AWS Elasticahe that made them want to provide their own service without sharing the code with their soon to be competitors.

Since I don’t see anyone mentions it.

Tunic. The shortcuts are so cleverly hidden that allows you to easily break the sequence in your next playthrough. The manual translation felt just like back when I tried to understand japanese game manuals that come with game boy cartridges.

Chain of Echoes. A one man RPG game with a unique combat system that has great quality of life.

learningduck,

Warning. The game only has like 2 bosses. It uses rooms that keep spawning mobs as replacements for normal bosses.

I would argue that some code test questions can be solved spontaneously, but they are limited to easy to some early medium questions, or patterns that are common enough.

I guess this is more common in non FANG companies that don’t have to filter out candidates just because of the sheer number alone.

learningduck,

Not only you. The writing style is very tedious. It’s even worse in the second book as it treats most characters as just plot devices.

At least the climax felt awesome. These books are bloated and could’ve been thin down to like 30% and wouldn’t lose much.

learningduck,

Wait. It’s that long?

Felt like we joke about the announcement 2 years ago. Time fly lol

Any other Sekiro fans absolutely thrilled by this news? (lemmy.world)

The way that they were able to accurately balance the bosses without having to worry about player level in Sekiro was, in my opinion, what made the game so amazing. They knew exactly how far they could push the boss difficulty because they knew how strong the player would be at any given moment of the game.

learningduck, (edited )

Not until they add Sekiro like combat. Cling clang sound and dance like combat activate my neurons.

learningduck,

Guess, it’s to make your code look hand crafted and not copied from Chat GPT or SO for some take home assignment.

learningduck,

Pokemon Renegade Platinum. I found the base game was a bit too easy. The ROM hack made it so challenging. Couldn’t imagine me playing nuzelocke though.

learningduck,

This isn’t empowering, but more like exploiting.

Maybe it’s different in SK, but in many countries nurse is a very hard working low paying job with too many responsibilities already. Adding doctors’ jobs on that pile wouldn’t help anyone.

Disclaimer: my wife was a nurse.

learningduck,

Searchability. Not that Reddit’s is good, but it’s better especially when using a search engine.

learningduck,

Search results.

learningduck,

I could notice the slowness of Atom when I compared it to VS Code. Sublime is also noticeably faster than VS Code, but the gap doesn’t feel so wide that I want to jump the ship.

I think it depends on the number of characters in the file that make the difference more noticeable.

learningduck,

I found a yoga ball good for my butt and back. It forced me to keep sitting up right. Not good for relaxing though.

learningduck,

Maybe they were afraid that the burning man would run at them.

Reddit: 'We Are in the Early Stages of Monetizing Our User Base' (www.404media.co)

Reddit said in a filing to the Securities and Exchange Commission that its users’ posts are “a valuable source of conversation data and knowledge” that has been and will continue to be an important mechanism for training AI and large language models. The filing also states that the company believes “we are in the early...

learningduck,

Yeah. Guess some AI companies may have set up an instance already. They won’t even have a rate limit or anything on their own instances.

learningduck,

But is the option available on every phone?

learningduck,

I have this option in my 1plus, Oppo, Assus. So, I thought that they are standard already. Good to know.
