  • ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Casts Sulu and Bones for Series Finale

    Jump

  • He's only ten years older than DeForest Kelly was in 1966. Of all the original main characters I accept having aged up actors, Bones is the one that I most easily accept.

    Jump

  • Perfect. I don't notice any lag.

    FWIW, I don't like the sequel games nearly as much so maybe the development overall of the first game was better.

    Jump

  • I'm not a hardcore collector. Most of these were kept by me or scavenged from people I know who were clearing old stuff out.

    If I ever sit down and get through all the games to the point I'm bored of them, I might try and find a reasonably priced copy of Majora's Mask though.

  • Sadly no, I took the expedient route and exchanged money for it.

  • It's a great game, it feels right on the N64. The PC version to me just feels off.

    It's got great missions, and I really like the variety of fighters. It even has the Naboo fighter as a secret, which blew my mind to see before the movie was actually out.

  • Honestly I never really liked it single player. The Star Wars podracer game keeps me way more engaged. The customization really helps.

  • Just good lighting.

  • What was a time when you drank the kool aid?

    Jump

  • I once watched a 9/11 truther type program that hand waved away this issue by simply stating the government used "nanothermite". What is "nanothermite"? It's thermite but acts in whatever way it needs to when somebody pokes holes in the idea of thermite.

  • imagine

    Not a terribly convincing start to a hypothesis.

  • what should be the amount of work hours per week? is there a threshold where it starts to affect your life?

    Jump

  • I know a lot of people here are fans of the 4 day workweek idea, but personally I think a 5-day work week, with 1 week per month off is a better schedule. Having 9 uninterrupted days off is very stress reducing and allows for working on multiday personal projects or doing some limited traveling.

    For that sort of schedule, five 8 hour days is a baseline, but even going up to 9 or 10 hours as needed feels a lot more doable. As long as that flexibility to stretch hours is factored into the salary of course. If that's done I think it is better for both the employees and the business in terms of getting projects done and people staying motivated.

    Making this sort of schedule more common would require more expectations put on managers to properly organize schedules, since businesses I see doing this rotate through who is off so that the business is open the whole month.

  • What is the technical hill you are willing to die on in your industry?

    Jump

  • I understand, somewhat, this being discouraged at work but I agree that doing it for personal passwords with the notebook at home is fine. I've met people opposed to ever writing down passwords and I think it's just a rote reaction based on work training.

    If you have a notebook at home with all your passwords then somebody needs to break into your house to get them, which is pretty good security.

  • Steam Replay is live and notes only 14% "of playtime spent by all Steam users" was for 2025 releases

    Jump

  • This is partially why I've lost all interest in ultra-realistic, cutting edge graphics. I know that with them comes so much bloat that they are difficult to run, and really I realized how little I care about those.

    Jump

  • He's actually talked about that other extreme, though I don't recall which video. Sometimes it will be ultra optimizing something that ends up entirely cut, or optimizing it to the point where it's inflexible.

  • Is there any unedited conversation podcast you actually recommend?

    Jump

  • The same ones I type.

  • You mean the relatively small deposits that are significantly more difficult to mine?

  • "Flushable wipes"; "dishwasher-safe"; "odourless" - What are some other blatant lies that companies get away with?

  • A “family size” bag of Doritos is not sized for a family.

    It should be the size of a family.

  • I used to watch a lot of traffic court videos as background noise. Normally it was people who knew they were guilty showing up with lame excuses.

    One time though there was a guy who got a ticket for rolling a stop sign. The issue was it was a very poorly placed sign that was ridiculously far back from the intersection. The guy had fully stopped at the sign, pulled up to the intersection and slowed down to check and then rolled through it. The cop had reluctantly agreed that is what happened once the guy laid it out.

    Despite the cop admitting it was a bad ticket since the guy hadn't actually rolled through the sign, the prosecutor pulled up the law which said a car must stop at a stop sign, or in an intersection without one must slow and yield to traffic, and tried to argue that because the intersection had a stop sign that the guy in the car was required to fully stop both at the poorly placed sign AND at the intersection. He went back and forth with the judge for like ten minutes while subtly misquoting the text of the law rather than just letting it go. After both the guy with the ticket and the cop both spoke up the way too long proceeding finally broke in the guy's favor.

    The total court appearance was like 45 minutes, with much of it spent with a judge and prosecutor talking through a stop sign law. If it was so ambiguous that professional legal experts need to talk it through then it is absurd to ticket a person in the moment for making the wrong choice.

  • Tim Cain (the lead on the original Fallout and a long time programmer) talked about his experience being a programmer for hire at a major studio later in his career. It as a culture shock for him to see younger programmers basically doing no optimization. When he talked to them about it the attitude was basically that it wasn't worth the time to do, since none of the higher ups cared about it, and the programmers could easily get whatever they assignment was done with bloated, unoptimized code. There wasn't any experience in optimizing or a culture of doing it.
