Can’t believe they showed one guy fucking another guys foreskin, that seemed really out of place

When you burn a disc it means using a laser to etch the data as pits and lands in a track on the disc. You’re physically changing the disc when you write to it.

This is terrible advice.

OP needs to set boundaries in a paper traceable way after establishing then in person (an email of “dear boss lady, I want to eat lunch alone, kthxbye”), and track violations of those boundaries (dear boss lady, today you sat with me at lunch after I asked you not to, please explain why). (Obviously be more professional).

Then after a few violations, OP can go to HR because suddenly the boss lady is starting the fire; there is a clear history of personal boundaries not being maintained, leading to a hostile work environment.

This only doesn’t work when the company is like 5 people and HR is your boss’s cousin or whatever.

I started using Python ~15 years ago. I didn’t go to school for CS.

Compared to using literally anything else at the time as a beginner, pip was the best thing out there that I could finally understand for getting third party code to work with my stuff, without copy paste… on Windows.

When I tried Linux, package managers and make were pretty cool for doing C/C++ work.

Despite all that, us “regular” engineers were consigned to Windows.

We either had to use VBA or a runtime that didn’t need to be installed.

Downloading a movie only to find it was the pain Olympics or a cartel/terrorist beheading was also fun

A 172 is the plane you train to get a beginner license in. 90-120mph max.

It’s the recommended approach to replace WCF which was deprecated after .NET framework 4.8. My company is just now getting around to ripping out all their WCF stuff and putting in gRPC. REST interfaces were always a non-starter because of how “heavyweight” they were for our use case (data collection from industrial devices which are themselves data collectors).

From other discussions I’ve seen, the guy stepping down was frustrated by having C code rejected that made lifetime guarantees more explicit. No rust involved. The patch was in service of rust bindings, but there was 0 rust code being reviewed by maintainers.

There hasn’t really been a good vehicular combat game in awhile, like Vigilante 8 or Twisted Metal

I also noticed there haven’t really been any good couch party games besides Mario party; think Crash Bash, Pokemon stadium, fusion frenzy, and the like.

Bouncers

As a mechanical engineer who spent multiple thousands of hours using SolidWorks, trying to use FreeCAD felt like flying a Cessna 172 after getting used to a Citation jet.

Dune was the second RTS ever though

I had a stamina meter in Morrowind in 2002 and in daggerfall in 1996.

This game is a broken buggy mess but in a good way

Nope, 1/4 the stuff with 8x the detail!

Do we just want a reasonable subscription price?

Yay, basically. I paid for premium when I could afford it because I want the platform to keep working and I hate ads.

Premium prices went up without a lot of value for me so I quit paying. Technically premium offers a lot but the core feature that I actually cared about (YouTube without ads) never changed in value. If I had the option of only paying for that, I’d do it. To me, YT is a higher priority than any other streaming service. But they don’t provide a way for me to only pay for the stuff I care about

My mom told me that she was made fun of for having a book of hand written account credentials related to running her business (6 people total). I told her it was the best way to do it that wasn’t massively overcomplicated for her situation and to keep it up. The only recommendation I made is that she use different long passwords for every site since she’s already not memorizing them.

Personally I’m not convinced this isn’t the best way unless you’re being targeted by physical bad actors

In my experience Perl is a write-only language. Coming in behind someone else and fixing or writing their code is often slower than just rewriting it

Death road to Canada

I’ve written a million lines of powershell in the past few years for stupid business reasons. I fucking hate the language and I don’t see why anyone would write anything serious in it
