We hit the point where the dollar is worth almost exactly half of what it was when I first started working in the mid 90s. It’s helped to reground my price expectations.
YAML will be granted a grace period as a recursive acronym, but as punishment they must remove the questionable contraction and will henceforth be YANML.
I’m currently learning FreeCAD so that the one machine I still have sitting around to run Fusion360 can be liberated from Windows at long last. And as a bonus I won’t have to keep updating NoMachine every couple weeks.
Ask Lemmy is a place to ask thought provoking questions. The mods have been lenient with some of the recent posts on the basis that they must provoke thought for some people, but after seeing two posts essentially saying “what do you think of my stick?”, I believe we can raise the bar a bit on what kind of thoughts we want...
The benefit to all the research papers I read skimmed in college is that it made all the technical whitepapers I now need to read summarize with GPT a lot less painful in comparison.
I love the idea of a privacy-focused fronend for YouTube, but every time I visit a piped link, it just spins forever. Both on my Linux desktop and my Android phone....
No, I gave up on linking via Piped. At this point I figure people willing to go to the trouble of using alternative frontends already have a favorite (that’s probably not piped) and the Privacy Redirect extension and are good to just get the yt link.
I once had a machine (that I got 2nd hand) run a busy mysql server with over 1,200 days of uptime. When it was retired we painted the chassis gold and put it on display in the lobby.
Nowadays I find a lot of games feel like too much work and/or anxiety when I just want to relax for like, 30 minutes to an hour after a long day. On the other hand, the games specifically designed to help you unwind just feel boring imo....
Just started a new colony yesterday because an update was released with new tools and content. The colony I was playing up until that point was almost 3000 cycles old.
ONI’s one of those games with a lot of layers of game mechanics. Expect your first few colonies to go bad while you get a handle on things.
I’m lurking in the lemmy.world community I linked to above, and I’ll be happy to help you out there if you get stuck on something.
Here’s your first tip: Geyzers and Vents are one of the main sources of renewable resources in the game. They all have to be “tamed” in some way before you can collect their goodies. They also all have the same Achilles Heel that will keep them from erupting while you’re building around them; if there’s a natural tile 2 rows from the bottom and 2 rows from left it will always think its over-pressure and eruptions will be suppressed.
I think the last one to make any real headway was BeOS and they’ve been dying a thousand deaths ever since Apple bought NeXT instead of them. Though admittedly that perspective is coming from a person who used BeOS once in the 90s and has never touched Haiku.
I want to be high and mighty and dislike Snaps for all the technical reasons but the single most irritating thing is definitely all the loopback devices.
Studied Ichthyology in the early 2000’s and will never forget how much of my A&P coursework was on birds. And how the lab TAs were not at all impressed when I just called them all air fish.
I’d go back to '93. Vs. had just been released, Jurassic Park was in theaters, the US dollar had almost exactly double the buying power it has today, and I still remember how to design web sites using tables.
