The game is amazing, but it is really annoying when you get stuck on a weird timing-based wall-kick game, or robot-bunny minefield, or destruction-derby minigame with unclear instructions. Somehow I remember those parts more than the fun pa

It is funny to think that even back then people just didn't put up with bad controls. Like Elder Scrolls Redguard, amazing game for the time but the lousiest controls ever. Megaman Legends also comes to mind. They would put up with cra

I dunno, I found that kind of environment a lot easier to work with. The really hard environments are when the tech teams are large, to get something done you need to talk to 3 different teams and get them all to agree to do something and _

Yeah the keyboard controls were awful, apparently it was because they wanted the game to have a console port using a gamepad. Thing is I bet the people who played it are right too, I just never managed to bring myself to play more than a fe

I remember playing it back in the day and I was severely unimpressed. Compared to Full Throttle it just felt clunky and the 3d art wasn't nearly as good as the amazing pixel art. I ended up never finishing it.

Technically you can borrow money against your share, if you think your share gains will be higher than the interest rate you essentially have free money (although, obviously, not risk free). So that is a use for never selling shares. Also s

The key problem is that IP is either proprietary to the creator or it is a commons type of situation. Even if you agree with the former exploiting the commons for personal profit is... not good. One could make the argument that if these LLM

I am seriously considering going into more lead/management role because of this, it is so demoralizing to feel I am doing work in a way I don't agree with. Never thought I would say the day, when I joined this career all I wanted

This is what Android does with Dalvik/Android Runtime. Apps you download from the store are compiled to bytecode that is then compiled to native code at installation time. With the compilation making use of the native instruction set s

I have been trying to find one of these "lower pay better conditions" places, but it is _such_ a gamble. It is so hard to tell how the work is going to be before you join. If I am almost certain to at least have a mild dislike for

In Sweden large cities even in the suburbs parking can be quite expensive. But I guess it is because "the big city suburbs" in Sweden are still mostly 4-6 story tall apartments. At my current place (apartment in a suburb about 10k

It is not even the cost of the car, but the upkeep. In large European cities parking alone can be prohibitive. In Sweden cars older than 2006 pay extra tax because they don't have emissions testing data.

It is very interesting that in most big cities around the world, but especially Europe having a car is a big luxury while in the US homeless people have cars.

Java and C# seem to be the best ways of making code-first OpenAPI based servers. C# LINQ also seem to be the best compromise between ORM and raw SQL queries, although I never used it myself. I have been severely disappointed in all similar

I live in Sweden, but my company is not unionized (somewhat unusual). Non-unionized companies at least in tech tend to be _overtly_ better places to work than unionized ones simply because people have the _option_ to go to a unionized compa

I was top 1000 for a while in the base-invasion mode of MGSV in the EU. That mode was basically a low-budget little tacked-on multiplayer that kept the core-gameplay and I spent hundreds of hours on it. MGSV Metal Gear Online (the _other_ t

Anyone knows the details why Heart left Sweden? I applied for a job with them a few years ago but never heard back so I am quite curious. They seemed to have a lot of former Embraer engineers from Brazil, I wonder if they brought them over

Yes, but I also think it will be trivially by-passable if you pass your output through another LLM. At least for text. It might help catch students cheating, but not real spam-bot usage. As soon as platforms start checking for watermarks sp

Graphite kinda does that automatically with its "gt modify" command. However it keeps the history internally in your PR, but that history doesn't end up in your main branch. Once you merge the PR it looks like a single commit

Ah okay, I thought you meant to fully close the session before you make any manual changes. In my company we use graphite and stacked PRs so it is highly encouraged to keep one commit per PR, so I am constantly ammending my commits.
