Me, it's not the size of the blueprint, particularly since they added 5x5 and 6x6 blueprints in 1.0, it's the fact that blueprint placement is horrendous for seemingly everything except perfectly-rectangular structures. And non-rectangular structures are basically the ENTIRETY of thing the things that are difficult to build, and thus worth blueprinting.

My wife and I have been putzing with coal power and blueprints and experimenting with architecture for 3 days now. Haven't really done anything productive in that time. Have completed Tier 3, and part of Tier 4.

I'm on the verge of declaring blueprints to be more trouble than they're worth. Anyone else?

I'm also neither a mod nor member. I have never posted nor commented in c/vegan. I do not habitually downvote posts from c/vegan. I am banned from c/vegan, as of about a week ago.

If that isn't overreach, I dunno what is.

If they don't want non-members to be able to vote or comment on their stuff, that's fine, take the community private.

Cashier stations with chairs are VERY rare, yes. The general trope is that managers/owners think it makes workers appear lazy.

I think the big reasons for most people boil down to one or both of two things:

A) People having 0 trust in Google. I.E. people do not believe that paying for their services will exempt them from being exploited, so what's the point?

B) YouTube's treatment of its content creators. Which are what people actually come to YouTube for. Advertisers and copyright holders (and copyright trolls) get first-class treatment, while the majority of content creators get little to no support for anything.

Practice getting up in response to your alarm.

Seriously.

Once or twice a day, in the middle of the day, go lay down in bed, like you're going to sleep, and set your alarm for maybe 5-10 minutes. The moment it goes off, shut it off and stand up. Teach your body the habit of standing up, immediately, in response to the alarm. So long as you're getting enough sleep, you'll start doing it in the morning, on reflex.

“I used ‘Darth’ as my handle on the CB radio,” he told the New York Times magazine’s Dave Itzkoff in 2014. “The truck drivers would really freak out—for them, it was Darth Vader. I had to stop doing that.”

"I have altered the speed limit. Pray I do not alter it any further. Over."

My god, can you imagine just chatting on the radio and that voice suddenly coming out of your dashboard?

Let's assume the chicken has to reach a temperature of 205C (400F) for us to consider it cooked.

Remind me never to let this guy cook for me.

Yeah, they hotfixed that like 5 minutes after launch, and it took a little while for Steam to catch up for everyone.

FactoryGameSteam.exe is definitely correct, probably because they now maintain FactoryGameEpic.exe and maybe a couple others, for the console releases they"re working on. But they seem tobhave neglected to instruct Steam that the exe name had change, so Steam was still looking for FactoryGame.exe. Renaming the file was an effective workaround for the first hour or so.

What the actual fuck is this? A constitution neither defines nor repeals laws, it defines rights and powers, of the citizenry, and the government. Is there just more to the story that the article isn't covering?

Satisfactory 1.0 releases tomorrow morning.

Because Nintendo made one. They published the "official" timeline like a decade ago, and then made a TON of references to it in Breath of the Wild. Not our fault they then decided to shit on it with Tears of the Kingdom.

I mean, I'm paraphrasing, too.

Even better quote, I love using this one.

"So, with AI writing code for us, all we need is an unambiguous way to define, what all our business requirements are for the software, what all the edge cases are, and how it should handle them."

"We in the industry call that 'code.'"

I mean, REST-ful JSON APIs can be perfectly type-safe, if their developers actually take care to make them that way. And the self-descriptive nature of JSON is arguably a benefit in really large public-facing APIs. But yeah, gRPC forces a certain amount of type-safety and version control, and gRPC with protobuf is SUCH a pleasure to work with.

Give it time, though, it's definitely gaining traction.

General wisdom is that if you can perform some kind of pre-validation action to prevent an exception from occurring, you should do that, rather than expect the exception and handle it, as part of "normal" flow control.

However.

Some types of exceptions, especially when related to itneracting with shared/external systems, cannot be conpletely avoided. Checking for the existence of a file is the textbook example of this. No matter how much you check of the existence of the file, it could technically be deleted or exclusively locked by another process before you get a chance to actually open it.

For all intents and purposes, that's not really likely to happen, so by all means, check for the file, to keep your code sensible, but make sure you have a general strategy for exception handling in place as well.

#4 for me.

Proper HTTP Status code for semantic identification. Duplicating that in the response body would be silly.

User-friendly "message" value for the lazy, who just wanna toss that up to the user. Also, ideally, this would be what a dev looks at in logs for troubelshooting.

Tightly-controlled unqiue identifier "code" for the error, allowing consumers to build their own contextual error handling or reporting on top of this system. Also, allows for more-detailed types of errors to be identified and given specific handling and recovery logic, beyond just the status code. Like, sure, there's probably not gonna be multiple sub-types of 403 error, but there may be a bunch of different useful sub-types for a 400 on a form submission.

Anyone else this there's actually nothing at all wrong with the "New" row of icons? Except for the triangle one, which is terrible in its "Original" version as well, as it indicates absolutely nothing about its app (I believe it's Google Drive, right?). All the rest are clearly distinguishable, and have relevance to what the app does.

Case in point: Every single thing Microsoft is doing in Windows these days.

Ooh! I know this one!

No.

Destroy or hide any music boxes in the room.

Makes about as much as Netflix's current attempts to muscle in on the gaming market, Epic-style.

Why I continue to be surprised by corporate decision-making is beyond me.

This right here. This article title. This is why you don't name your company "Nothing".

Honestly? The idea that his wife had to pull a mom move on him? Yeah, a little bit weird to me.

I'd like to say that's because I have enough self-control to not get that far-gone, but it's probably more that my wife is more likely to join me, rather than stop me.

They took the genre and distilled it down to the purest gameplay-focused form that they could. And for an Early Access title, it could absolutely be a full release today. No bugs, no performance issues, nothing feels missing or incomplete, except maybe a few minor QoL bits. The success is deserved.

Some consider it the best in the series. Some despise it. Definitely worth playing it to see for yourself. It's okay if it's not to your liking, but don't let anyone tell you their opinion isnworth more than your own.

Me personally, I think they did what a sequel is supposed to do, and jump off from the original with new ideas and mechanics, instead of just repeating everything the original did. Some of it worked, some didn't, but it's a success in my book just for being creative.

This seems like exactly the kinda thing Hunter would love, though.

From what I've read...

There's the potential for a maybe-legit case here. Part of anti-trust laws include restrictions from competitors collaborating together, to gain some kind of advantage in the market. Price fixing would be a good example. A large group of advertisers collaborating on which clients they will or won't do business with does seem like it could fit the bill.

My guess is it'll come down to WHY they singled out Twitter for blacklisting. Does it give these advertisers some advantage over competitors in the market? Or allow them to exploit consumers in some way? Or is it maybe because the CEO of the company made false promises, and then publicly told them to go fuck themselves?

Yeah, you need a way to specify what you want with a high degree of both flexibility and specificity. We have a term for that in the industry, it's called "writing code".

The hell does "single-capacity" mean here? The article doesn't specify.

Nah, worse, they'll succeed from their perspective. At the expense of everyone else.

Ligatures are a core feature of fonts themselves, even for "normal" fonts, so I quite doubt it.

Slight distinction, though maybe not so much a practical one: it was more "Don't do that with our weapons, Russia will get mad at us, instead of just you."

It's not that he has to have a residence in New York, it's that the address that he listed as his residence, in New York, on the application for candidacy submitted to New York, isn't really his residence. The article mentions other states may follow suit with the applications he submitted to them.

They look an awful lot like Edalyn and Lilith Clawthorne, is that a coincidence?
