This is saying if you have a module with public functions A and B, they shouldn’t call each other, right? But it’s not saying that module A shouldn’t call module B’s public functions. That’s what I thought it meant at first, but that seems crazy.
Interesting game. Took me a long time to see where my own hp was. Sometimes I don’t think holding attack registered. Not sure if I need to?
There’s items??
This brought back a wave of vague angry memories about games with vague information. Stuff like “chance to deflect attacks” and it’s like, “what chance? 2%? 20%? Does deflect set damage to 0? TELL ME”
I haven’t done any blogging myself, but I believe the singer from the band Worriers moved off substack to ghost and was happy: https://ghost.org/
Not sure how much a second hand rec is, but that’s all I have.
Don’t like substack as a platform but the post is pretty good.
You can use uv to manage python versions and deps now. You shouldn’t fuck around with your system python much.
Microsoft is unbothered by all of this because the Xbox project was always an effort to PC-ify the console market. They just assumed they’d own PC gaming. Aside from that little hiccup, it’s gone swimmingly.
Side note, but it always baffled me why Microsoft went into consoles. They owned windows, where everyone was playing PC games on. They could’ve made something like Steam, if you ignore that large companies like Microsoft seem incapable of delivering good products. Don’t even both with the hardware expenses.
I read about that. I can only assume there’s some soulless goons in the middle who gets a bonus from some poorly thought about metric, and they’re going to chase that even if everyone else suffers.
If Sony just sold PC ports, people would be happier and Sony would be making money.
I remember being annoyed at a friend that would flake on stuff, and she’d say she was “busy”. I was like “We’re all busy. It’s not about being busy. It’s about what you prioritize.”
But now I’m older and try not to get bothered by that sort of thing anymore.
Not sure what the clichés about Fate are. I think it’s a fun light system.
Also there are dozens of us who prefer vampire: the requiem over masquerade. Dozens! I recently started a game of it. So far they killed 3 CEOs and blew up a data center (in the game).
It’s been fun seeing the DND player adapt to “wait I can just do my cool thing as much as I want?”. Like he was going to punch a dude and I was like “are you sure you don’t want to just Mesmerize him? It’s free and more likely to work, given your stats”
Legitimately aggravating. Well done.
I commented at work that giving the non technical team AI would be like giving toddlers chainsaws.
I got another talking to about making people feel bad.
Bunch of ghouls and whiners here.
That was my intent, yes.
Matching average tone and depth is an important skill.
I dislike AI. It’s like the one ring. Stop trying to use it. But all these people think they’re stronger than Boromir.
I feel like larger orgs have too many incompetent idiots and useless layers of management to appropriately manage people. So you have people extruding AI slop because that’s optimal for getting some fucking ghoul middle manager to see you. The guy who fixes bugs and writes useful tests isn’t going to impress fucking Joanne who can’t even code but somehow is still in charge of the department.
I think this is a big problem at Google. You get rewarded for shipping something, even if that means killing a better product.
Other than that, yeah I guess it’s a social game. Getting people to like you matters more than you might think it should.
Haha get fucked DoorDash. I’ll pick up my own food before using them.
Capitalism is fundamentally unfair. Some asshole who doesn’t even work keeps the benefits of the work. Fuck that.
There were sines. Sometimes her stories just didn’t add up. She always called my favorite band derivative. She always said I was being obtuse.
