  • In-N-Out Officially Removes Number '67' from Its Ordering System After Viral '6-7' Trend

    Jump

  • I hear people say that all generations have their dumb numbers, but I don't remember so many establishments having to ban 69 back in the day. Yes, there will have always been something dumb getting popular, but I think it's more willfully obnoxious now, and I don't think I'm just an old man yelling at a cloud.

    E: Thinking about it a bit, I think there's truth to it being willfully obnoxious. The rise of social media encourages being more disruptive, causing a bigger scene, anything to go viral. God, now I really do sound old.

  • I wonder why? Just taste buds changing as you get older, or more exposure to alternatives?

    I suppose also that the flavors themselves might have changed over time, but there are plenty of people that love them now, probably.

  • Is it just sunk-cost fallacy that keeps them in denial, or is their view of reality truly that warped? At any rate, if there are more people that want to leave America because it's "too woke", then godspeed.

  • They say word-of-mouth marketing is the most effective form of marketing. What games did you (not) enjoy that came well-recommended by friends to you, and why did they recommend it to you?

  • When did you play it? I liked the game when it came out, but I tried to replay it recently and the mechanics did not age gracefully. It's pretty clunky by modern standards.

    I'm sure that to a lot of people this is likely sacrilege lol

  • Disney Reportedly Pulls the Plug on TRON 4 After TRON: ARES Crashes at the Box Office, Is Jared Leto to Blame?

  • Bust down a door and say, "Heeeere's Tronnie!"

  • I am sorry, but everyone is getting syntax highlighting wrong

    Jump

  • Yeah, I don't agree with this blog post at all.

    Color highlighting in code is fundamentally different than in standard text. In text, it means, "I'm important!" But in code, the purpose is to categorize. When I read code, this is important because everything is in a category and in a hierarchy. So I'll skim through all the things of one category until I find the block I'm looking for, then skim that block to find the next category of code.

    And the they have other points like, "if you can't recite all the colors and what they mean, then I'm right." No you aren't? Within ten seconds of looking at some code in some editor, my brain creates the color/category mapping, and then I'm good for the whole time I'm working. Why would I memorize it?

    The whole thing just reads like someone had an epiphany and is trying really hard to justify it.

  • Anyone try the demo for Tavern Keeper on Steam yet? It's....... yeah.

  • Yeah, this actually sounds fine to me. Since they're entirely self-made men who acquired their wealth through their own hard work and gumption, it's only a minor setback.

  • Great games you would recommend from before 1990?

    Jump

  • Legend of Zelda along the same lines. I remember how cool it was that it could save progress without constant power. Caveat is.... It's so hard without a guide or a lot of trial and error.

  • Most technologies continue to improve with innovation, like WiFi. What is a technology that was nearly perfect upon conception?

    Jump

  • Since you mention the d-pad. It was patented, so all the big companies had their own legally distinct spins on it. Nintendo has their cross; sega had a circle thing; Sony had discrete buttons, Microsoft had a different circle thing.

    The Nintendo patent actually expired a number of years ago now, so nowadays the cross is showing up more places.

  • Heat conductivity

  • Wood stoves have something called a baffle plate that redirects hot air so that it flows along the interior top of the unit before leaving through the chimney. The purpose is to heat the metal enough for radiation tranferrance. I often put a ceramic-coated cast iron kettle on top, and it will boil if left for a while. Anyone who sits on the stove would have a very bad time.

    Built in fireplaces work differently but aren't typically sit-onable.

  • Some distros require secure boot to be disabled. And things like Windows fast boot. Try rebooting into bios and ensuring the various boot "features" are disabled.
