I like it.

My take on undoing 600 years of existence: unless there are outside observers that are unaffected by the unmaking, or the unmade actually still exist in some way, their annihilation really doesn't matter one way or another.

@iiii It's better not to look at the screen during those fights. I'm not even joking. I got really good at parrying and that nonsense still fooled me most of the time.

It's been a while since I was at the Forgotten Battlefield, so I'll have to check it out.

@iiii I recognize there are some late game enemies that seem to be this way, but I'm not certain that's actually the case. There's so much going on in those fights, the cues could actually just be drowned out by other sounds. And considering how tight everything else is, that might actually be a bug.

Explain to him that everything breaks after 4 prompts and that you will be unable to deliver until this meme has passed.

Why pay for a team when you can pay for one guy that does the work of a team for the pay of half a guy?

@Lensflare There's almost always a swish noise or grunt (with Gestrals) before the attack. Parrying right after the sound has finished playing will almost always result in a successful parry. It's so reliable, you can parry brand new enemies once you train yourself to hear it. Dodging until you can reliably get perfect dodges is how they want you to train. Sometimes it even helps not to look directly at the screen, so that the visuals don't distract from the sound.

@iiii I love Halo: CE and the Valve fps games. Whether or not that's because they were my first games, I don't know, but I still like them a lot. When I had more free time, UT2k4 was where I spent a lot of time.

I love the Everspace games. And Freelancer. And Star Trek Bridge Commander. I wanted to like Chorvs but it was definitely not for me.

@iiii I'm very bland when it comes to my normal choices of games. I like narrative heavy games and usually go for something straightforward like fps. I don't play multiplayer at all because I will never be as good as a 12 year old.

I played Undertale. It was pretty good for what it was.

I want to like the Elder Scrolls and Fallout games, but I'm not interested in the kind of micromanagement needed to properly build a character.

The only Pokemon games I really like were the early gen games because there really wasn't much focus on minmaxing while also not being so handholdy that it's a babygame.

I've played Hollow Knight and Sifu and loved them because they're very fast paced and smooth. I tried Furi but couldn't get the hang of it. I refuse to play any of the Souls games because I don't find watching a broken animation system kill me to be any fun.

I avoid visual novels mostly because the art direction is almost universally cringe.

So basically, whatever looks neat.

@jestdotty Interesting take. This may come in handy for me soon.

Your salary expectations aren't low enough. That's what it boils down to.

There's always React Native.

Apple, in its infinite wisdom and compulsion for the world to hold things correctly and to think different, will not allow anything that remotely resembles an existing website on their blessed store, so you'll be stuck writing an app no matter if your site fulfills every function you need.

At least with React Native, you only have to write one app for both Android and Apple and you get to lean on your existing React knowledge.

They already stole literally everything once to train the models and got away with it. Why wouldn't they steal literally everything again?

This is the quickest way to ensure only criminals use AI.

So long as the innocent are disarmed, that's all that matters I guess.

Link please.

@kiki The general population uses imperial and NASA still does just fine.

NASA exists and is very successful even though the general population uses imperial. It's almost like it doesn't really matter and that this topic is needlessly divisive.

@Demolishun The machine learning full line completion is very hit or miss. Sometimes it will know exactly what I'm trying to do line after line and saves a ton of time. Other times it gives me nonsense that just wastes my time. I don't think it can be disabled while the assistant plug-in is enabled, or else I would.

I just assume and hope that this will get better.

@retoor No one will ever accuse me of being too malleable or open to change, but when I'm convinced of something, I'm convinced.

It is very helpful for getting going on things I don't know much about, like shader programming and c++.

Ultimately, I think that's the main goal. To give people a running start where they can then develop expertise, as opposed to not getting started at all.

I will argue the ethical implications of how it was trained until the day I die, but I think it's a lesser of two evils type situation. Either the knowledge and skills go into the void or they're scraped without consent or compensation so that people can do something with them.

I know this is a joke but I'd guess the chocolate pattern is slightly different so the machine knows what belt to send it down for packaging.

@netikras You're holding it wrong. Have you tried holding it correctly?

When you realize that we've been lead poisoned as a species for all of our history, it explains a lot of things.

I've spent over $600 on noise cancelling earbuds and headphones the last 3 years because the alternative was to quit my job.

I work on a busy road that the police are wholly disinterested in keeping from becoming a racetrack full of illegally modified vehicles designed solely to harass as many people as possible.

It's nice to just switch off my hearing and work. It even covers the bass pretty well. It's nice. Not as nice as not needing them would be.

@int32 Under what obscene circumstance is that data accessible to the browser? If it can be printed to the console, it's accessible without it.

antigermgerm is a troll, right?

I find it tacky and ultimately pointless and divisive. If I find out someone makes more than me I'll get jealous and if they find out I make more than them they get jealous.

Don't like your pay? Negotiate for more or look elsewhere that will pay more.

If your entire organization has somehow managed to be underpaid, then I question how that would be possible with a group of adults.

If you're underpaid and replaceable, sorry but that might be why you're not seen worth being paid more. If you're underpaid and a critical part of the operation, use that to your leverage if you want more.

Find your spine and advocate for yourself.

@rootshell I cannot fathom such an opinion. It's a fantastic way to transmit data in a way that is human readable and editable and is easy to deserialize and read. This makes working with it trivial. Any kind of slowness associated with parsing it would solely be on whoever wrote the parser, and not the format itself.

The only place I can remotely agree is for instances where the user directly interacts with it like config files, but that was not what it was designed for. Even so, it's still very easy to work with.

The alternative is sending data in some kind of binary format that doesn't have to follow any kind of standard and is a pain to troubleshoot.

I would love to know what you would consider to be a superior alternative.

Not being able to send json arrays from PHP is where I gave up on it. No matter what you do, they always go out as a kv pair with the array index as the key. I hate having branching logic in my controllers just for WordPress.

@iiii Fortunately, I only deal with basic read/write/execute locally. My servers have a well worn process for ensuring everything is set up properly.

I've had to work a few places where their official stance was that I'll have to learn on the job. It's maddening because that restricts your ability to learn the job only to work hours and if you want to be good at it, that's not enough time.

I've had to implement some apis over the years that while technically complete, their documentation was definitely written by the people most familiar with it for other people familiar with it, leaving the poor saps that have to use it to their own devices.

@retoor Will do!
