It gets worse if you use Microsoft D365 AX products. Then you have to provision an entire Build server for builds which has to run Visual Studio 2019 on Windows 10. To do a build you run a pipeline in Azure DevOps, which runs the compiler in a full Visual Studio 2019 environment, which has to run on a special Azure virtual environment running Windows 10 hosted by Microsoft. It’s so fragile.
Cookie Clicker is overflowing with them.
Hatchet was such a powerful book when I was a kid. I bet it still holds up, so maybe I should reread it soon.
Put it in VR and it reminds me of the Community episode:
“Jesus wept!”
My grandparents had one too. I never once saw them sharpen anything, but it moved around the front yard every once in a while, so they must have been keeping it out for something.
Any mod recommendations for a 5 year old? He’s got a laptop with Debian on it and I’d like to set him up with MineTest, but I’m not sure he can handle the full MineClonia experience.
I have not. Is it worth watching?
I am personally familiar with that kind of pirate and I definitely appreciate what they do.
Maybe I should cross-post to AskHistory? I’m not looking for anything specific, really more hoping to learn some things while giving Lemmy users a chance to dump info they find interesting.
I will watch all of these. Thanks!
How much evidence do we have for this? I want to believe it since it’s my favorite fact so far, which means I should be extra cautious before believing it.
I loved the show, but never would have guessed it was based on reality. Great facts!
I suppose these are a bit less practical now that bolt cutters are so accessible.
I agree. Several authors and editors I follow have recommended using ‘said’ and ‘asked’ for the majority of your writing. They are basically invisible to readers; just subconscious tags at this point. Using different words in every sentence is distracting.
Making your own meaning is Existentialism talk! Embrace the lack of meaning!
I looked around the house but couldn’t find it. You sure it’s not in your backpack OP?
Mine weren’t either. Unbearably miserable for everyone until they got divorced, then it was just regular miserable. Would not recommend.
I used to write extensively with C++, but it has been a long time since speed mattered that much to one of my applications. I still marvel at the cache-level optimizations some people come up with, but I’m in the same mindset as you now.
My workload split of Data Movement vs Data Transformation is like 95:5 these days, which means almost all the optimizations I do are changing batch/cache/page/filter settings. I can do that in any language with http bindings, so I choose those that are faster to write.
Same here. I wondered how that was even possible before discovering my Lemmy client had cropped out the legend. Not a fan of this coloring scheme, especially having white as the median value.
It felt like the wild west for a while because there were so many open problems and each implementation seemed to be focusing on a subset of them. Git handles all of them with decent enough speed that there isn’t much incentive to go against the grain.
I think Git is good enough and so ubiquitous that we won’t see a competitor until coding itself drastically changes shape. Who knows what that will look like, but if it’s not collections of relatively flat files then Git may someday be replaced.
