I loved Fallen Order and I loved Survivor even more. It's the perfect follow up to Fallen Order. At launch it had quite some issues tho, which is why it wasn't received well. Not sure how much better it is now since I never really had issues to begin with.
Sometimes I look at the memes around here and wonder wtf y'all are doing. Like, neither my code nor the code at the place I work at are perfect. But I don't think I've ever seen a merge do this. Maybe some of the most diverged merges temporarily had a lot of errors because of some refactoring, but then it was just a few find + replaces away from being fixed again. But those were merges where multiple teams had been working on both the original and the fork for years and even then it was usually pretty okay.
Video games are honestly incredible. The prices have stayed relatively the same for a very long time, despite inflation, and yet the quality has shot up immensely. On the one end you have the AAA games like Cyberpunk, Jedi: Survivor, and RDR2 which look absolutely stunning. I've spent significant amount of time in games like those just being in awe with the graphics, taking screenshots. These worlds are so big and immersive, and there are so many tiny details.
Then you have the huge indy/smaller game scene. There are so many good games these days, it's impossible to play them all. Factorio, Satisfactory, Celeste, Stardew Valley, Valheim, BAR, the list goes on and on. And all for a low price or even no money at all.
I always thought LibreOffice was shit and it always felt like I was using a "replacement". However, after finally using Word again after many years I've come to the conclusion that it's actually not miles ahead and also quite shit. The docx format is bad, so Word is still better at dealing with it purely because it's their format, but LibreOffice honestly has a nore logical but uglier design. The Word top bar is pure pain
Yeah definitely this. The improvements are insane compared to 10 years ago. It's just annoying that techbro's and CEOs have decided that it's the next big thing and will shove it into anything. To too many people AI is a tool that'll solve any problem, even if it's usually a very wasteful and unpredictable solution.
Luckily we seem to be hitting the hype plateau and people are getting increasingly sceptical. I'm just hoping it won't lead to another AI winter. There's still plenty to gain and figure out, but we don't need the insane hype that exists now.
Idk, I'm nostalgic for the prequels because I grew up with them, but if they were released now and I had only seen the original trilogy I would've made the these comments about them too. Wat frustrates me the most about the sequels is that there's just no coherent plot. It's so obvious that everyone was just writing whatever without looking at the bigger picture. They could've went with this and actually gone somewhere. But 8 was just an exercise in doing everything the viewer didn't expect or want until it got way too frustrating without actually going anywhere and 9 was just a clusterfuck because it tried desperately to get an epic conclusion on a completely incoherent trilogy.
7 was already flawed, but if 8 and 9 had further established how the First Order got so large, who Snoke was, etc it could've been acceptable. I totally see the "Luke gets disillusioned and isolates himself" spin even if I'd prefer a "Luke slaps the shit out of everyone" story. It gave the new characters some space. But that space wasn't used.
No, people just don't like crypto because it's a huge waste of energy that has no use for the average person at the moment and is only used by rich people to get richer without much regulation. Don't get me wrong, it might definitely be useful when used correctly in the future. Not wasting as much energy by ditching proof of work, becoming actually useful for normal transactions, etc. But right now it's just an overhyped technology for obnoxious cryptobros.
This scale is totally wack. The feet of the human bodies in the graph don't start at 0 but somewhere between 4 and 5. Such a bad graph. That being said, we Dutch people are very tall and powerful and you should be terrified >:3
This happens quite often to me, especially when tired. I'm assuming that for me it's mostly autism related. That being said, I've noticed that many non-autistic people also have this happen every now and then., it just happens more for me.
I work as a Java programmer, which means that I spend about 50% of my day complaining about Java. Why doesn't it have enums like Rust? Why are there no tuples? How many goat sacrifices do the Java gods require to support named optional arguments to functions like Python? In the remaining time I have meetings, write docs, write tests, and sometimes even code. Nothing to complain about though, seeing how we are treated compared to people I know who work as taxi drivers or in elderly care, we programmers are basically treated as gods.
As for music, I like Hardstyle and Drum and Bass primarily. Examples: "Phuture Noize & Devin Wild - Waves", DnB: "Telomic & Susan H - Underwater". I'll be visiting the DnB festival "Liquicity festival" this weekend so I'm very hyped right now
Oh I never knew, but it seems true. On his Wikipedia page both researches are mentioned. It's so impressive how these researchers are behind so many different but interesting papers.
Machine learning and compression have always been closely tied together. It's trying to learn the "rules" that describe the data rather than memorizing all the data.
I remember implementing a paper older than me in our "Information Theory" course at university that treated the creation of a decision tree as compression. Their algorithm considered sending the decisions tree and all the exceptions to the decision tree and the tree itself. If a node in the tree increased the overall message size, it would simply be pruned. This way they ensured that you wouldn't make conclusions while having very little data and would only add the big patterns in the data.
Fundamentally it is just compression, it's just a way better method of compression than all the models that we had before.
EDIT: The paper I'm talking about is "Inferring decision trees using the minimum description length principle" - L. Ross Quinlan & Ronald L. Rivest
Uhm, not sure where I lie on this scale I guess. Is this the real scale or some abstract representation? Personally it's a 1 or 2 for me, but the image constantly changes and is never quite stable. There can be quite some detail, but it's only very temporary. Once I focus on some other part of the apple and go back everything is different
Actually being the owner of my phone. Apple decides everything for their users and allows them little freedom. I want to be able to put random apps on my phone, including maybe even my own.
Price. Shit's expensive. I now got a Pixel 8 for less than 500 euro's. Before that I had phones around the 300 euro price range.
Their ecosystem. They try to lure you into an everything Apple ecosystem. Stuff like iMessage is horrible for consumers. With an Android phone I have choice of apps, smart watch, earbuds, etc. Apple will always try to force you into buying their fancy but expensive things.
No benefit, there's plenty of cool Android phones.
