I live in one with more than 2 million people and it's something that I have to think hard about to remember the last time I heard one go off. Longer if I have to think of one that went off and wasn't some form of 'oh shit oh

I think most people have already answered this, but there are of course outliers. I did polisci and there were great teachers, and then there were ones who spent the entire class talking about the upcoming election and their views on it an

Seeing this as "pushing technology forward" is a pretty generous interpretation. It reeks of cost cutting.

I mean given i'm still comparing it to landing people on mars i'm not sure what else you expect as far as "this is still world changing technology"

I mean it might not be the most impressive, but again since they're marketing focused they're a hell of a lot better at getting word out. Still I wouldn't be shocked if they were ahead of the tech race, but as someone who was

Open AI has been doing sketchyish things long before Chat GPT, and I think it's something people are eventually going to notice more and more (then again people were swearing that Musk walked on water for waaaaaay too long given his ac

Really it's a style thing. Arena shooters like Unreal have plenty of perfectly accurate weapons, but they have totally different mechanics to support that. Something like CS where the TTK is basically instant certainly can't have

by Eji1700 4y ago
This exactly. CS has a ton of established theory built in. Some of these changes are kinda equivalent to "pawns can take in front of them" level of disruptive to the established understanding/meta.

The email reads like a tantrum, mostly because of one unneeded paragraph. The employee should be fired but the CEO sending a company wide email blast that boils down to "Quit or we'll find you and fire you" is just....bizarr

Absolutely. It's still fascinating tech and very likely to have serious implications and huge use cases. Just drives me crazy to see tech breakthroughs being overhyped and over marketed based on that hype (frankly much like the whole

It is disheartening to see how many people are trying to tell you you're wrong when this is literally what it does. It's a very powerful and useful feature, but the over selling of AI has led to people who just want this to be so

> and maybe stop tweeting images of guillotines when our employees are anxious about their next paycheck? This is the unfortunate outcome of just mass producing us vs them rhetoric at EVERY level of discourse. Nuance is dead.

This to me is a pretty simple thing to explain and deal with. F# enforcing a lot of good practice code style stuff (order matters for example pisses off long time devs who already have styles, but prevents SOOOO much stupid bs from beginner

I jumped from apple because at the time, all they had were $1000 giant phones. I jumped back because they released the SE, and my current motorolla was having quite a lot of issues, and I couldn't find anything smaller. I still have i

It's 100% the latter. I get "ok we don't want to mix codebases" and that's fine, but if you can code in C# you can probably get up and running in F# in a week, maybe a month if you struggle with some of the concept
260.
by Eji1700 4y ago
I think it's harder if you already know C# or some other OO language. I really think it would be easier, or about the same, to teach a raw beginner the basics of F# vs C#. The only reason F# winds up feeling harder isn't so much

by Eji1700 4y ago
It's really not. I'm quite terrible from any industry perspective. F# isn't hard, it's just different. Hell in many ways i'd argue it's much much easier once you get used to it. It doesn't have the supp

I'm not a talented developer but I did spend my day on an F# piece of code that builds a databale based on a record type using reflection (and eventually realized it was going to need to be recursive) and I probably would've just

I’ve honestly never had any issues with it but our use case is pretty light so I’m not sure what other people are missing from it

And honestly gurps is the last one I’d recommend for the average 5e player looking to jump ship. It’s crunchy as hell and a major commitment. Pathfinder 2 is likely going to be the biggest winner in this but hopefully other systems benefit

If you really really really like having a numpad because you use it a lot, you probably shouldn't have a numpad. One of the best QOL things i've done is move to smaller keyboards. 90% of it was for aesthetics and learning somethi
