Go with your dreams my friend!

When I started, we made the very first internet-based games and I could tell you stories but I’m not here to pump up my ego.

Yes, games technology web, it’s all old hat to everybody now but there was a time when we were the bleeding edge.

If you want to do something that’s niche or off the rails or total unique, do it my friend.

Just do what makes you happy.

Also now I’m curious, what is this area that you’re interested in?

When I read this crap, all I can think is that yeah backlash is growing because the forced implementation is growing. Another useless sentiment-based article.

Well yeah… It’s why I got out of game dev. Too many complete fucking incompetents flooding the market. Some things never change.

Probably not. Call me cynical, but I think the last several generations of young developers got into the career because they thought it was the fast track to a long lifetime cushy job.

That dream hqs exploded, and now only skilled developers have work. So there’s a bunch of angry, unemployed, incompetent people who can’t develop their way out of a paper bag and wouldn’t be able to realize this plan of yours.

What more elaboration could possibly be needed?

Well then take some drugs, as prescribed, because you’re borderline psychotic my friend

Trash graph showing Win at nearly 100%

Fuck right the fuck off lol

I think you’re forgetting that 90% of developers are barely competent at best.

If this upsets the reader and reader’s a dev, remember I’m talking about the other people not you =)

I’ll take 10 of whatever you’re smoking because it’s obviously the good shit

Thanks

Wow you totally reminded me of this building I managed several years back now, and they all had washing machines with that only filled a few inches, maybe 8 at most.

It was explained to me by my appliance tech, perhaps he’s not entirely correct on somebody may inform me better… But he said they were built to some water savings standard from california, and rather than making different models for different markets, they just foisted the low water ones on people.

I remember endless grieving from residents. I also remember a very common complaint of the person above them using their washing machine for 9 hours a day. Well fucking yeah, try having two working parents and three kids and seeing how much laundry you can get done in those pieces of shit!

Yeah but it the scheme of life you’re not out much.

I used to repair/rebuild TVs as part of my side hustle and I can absolutely confirm Hisense are the worst for parts, and no they don’t sell them! But also think about it… they’re shit products and the capacitors on the inverters burst constantly. You’d get another year before the replacement went byebye so really? Some products you just want out of your life. If it helps you feel better.

Hisense are just disposable TVs. It’s hard for me to accept that’s how ridiculous it’s gotten with the churn of tech and gadgets.

Holy moly the stories I could tell you about how repair un-friendly they purposely make TVs… but I don’t want to get myself all wound up lol

it’s by law

Where?

This is long in the past so I’m not coming at you but for others reading this, most credit cards give you an extra year warranty on top of manufacturers.

It wouldn’t install on an all-in-one PC I was selling, until I clicked the bypass options (RAM, TPM, etc) in Rufus

The Student As N

This is an archive.org link to a 1967 essay

I had to use a link shortener because the N word is rightfully scrubbed and can’t be posted in my comment or link.

The title is supposed to shock you. Jerry Farber was the real deal and a hardcore antiestablishmentarian. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Farber

Guys I discovered a hidden microphone in my headphones speaker!!!

I mean it’s not that sinister.

It’s just not impressive in the slightest. Like, we still use lookup tables for trigonometry functions

Guys it’s a lookup table. Whoop de fucking do.

I’m not condemning the person I haven’t watched.

But I don’t need a 41 minute video that sounds like he just expounds personal opinions and is not really meritorious.

I follow this stuff, I have for 30 plus years.

If he didn’t heavily focus on extended warranties, he’s in the weeds.

And I see no evidence from what people are discussing here that he clues in on that.
