When you do it for work, you log what you have changed each time you make a change to try to fix it, and you log what you revert, so you can keep track of what you have tried, what worked, and what didn’t and have a clearer idea of what the solution was.

Sometimes it really does take a while to nail down though, and sometimes it isn’t entirely clear why what worked worked. Especially if you’re a junior network engineer without as much experience.

That’s amazing. I’ve got the same combination on my luggage!

I am glad I kept around my old pirated copies of Rosetta Stone in various languages for this reason.

Good job!

No, Anna.

Moriarty would use Arch. He definitely has an “I use Arch btw” vibe around him.

Definitely how I feel swimming after not having had access to a pool in 20 years. From varsity swim team to looking like I am drowning.

I mean I love Peter Dinkleage but I also love Natasha Lyonne… Why start over when you have already laid so much groundwork in two seasons?

Yeah but it looks like this includes support for organization Office 365 accounts, so it’s not just something that only worked 20 years ago. If it only supported outdated Exchange servers that would be one thing, but it seems to support modern ones.

While benchmarks are up, alignment researchers are panicked. The model has begun to display “Stallman-esque” hallucinations.

When asked to write C# code, Gemini 3.0 now responds: “I cannot generate proprietary filth. Here is a Lisp macro instead.”

The number of memestock bros who still hype Gamestop despite all the massive missteps they’ve made in the last few years is fucking unreal. They desperately meme “diamond hands” when they’re fucking bagholders.

37! My President sucked 37 dicks!

He’s focusing so hard on his themes being timeless that he’s no longer challenging the audience. Which is why they’re only winning visual art Oscars.

I mean he’s been using visual shortcuts to human emotional states instead of, you know, character development since fucking Titanic, if not before.

The obvious example to contrast the Avatar films with is District 9, which came of the same year as the first Avatar film. The “prawns” of District 9 are absolutely ugly to behold, but they are “humanized” through character development instead of shortcuts like giving them giant, dewy, innocent looking eyes and making them look like innocent animals like cats or dogs. Cameron make the Na’vi aesthetically pleasing to humans because it’s easier to make them the “good guys” this way than it is if they looked like District 9’s “prawns.”

I mean, no shade, Cameron is good at using the techniques he has chosen as a way to short circuit his audience into feeling the things he wants them to feel… but that doesn’t make them not cheap, easy, and overall weak compared to serious character development since it’s a complete reliance on visual shortcuts to emotional depth without the actual emotional depth.

One of the few game developers trying to write for the medium of gaming instead of trying to write a book/movie and slap it into a game. One of the few who eschews the three-act arc so prevalent in plays and films.

He really understands that as a different medium you should play to the mediums strengths and how the medium functions for storytelling like his attempts synthesize meaning between gameplay and story. Writing for games shouldn’t be like writing for books or films because while analogous they are nowhere near the same kind of mediums.

The medium is the message.

That’s the way to do it, smart planning. I’m glad you were able to make it happen even if it set you back more than you had hoped.

I only wish I had money to get in before prices bump up. 😭

Being poor sucks.

I had never heard of this so went looking. Super useful stuff here!

I’m not saying it was a majority issue, I’m saying the beginnings of the social turn against LGBTQ openness and inclusion has been brewing under the surface for a long time and this is potentially evidence of it.
