Enjoyed this post. I've dabbled with regular pixel art, but never quite figured it out and haven't found much in the way of good tutorials.

That's unsurprising since they have had layoffs and been upfront that there is more to come. Unlike layoffs that make the news, allowing/encouraging "natural attrition" allows companies to fly largely under the radar.

Given that Amazon is also laying off and the CEO recently stated that they expected additional staff reductions into next year it seems unlikely.

Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking. The problem is that without deep immutability this is still open to abuse/miss-use. When I'm creating an immutable struct I'm trying to prevent future developers from accidental m

Yes I'm aware. You can define methods/functions on most (if not all implementations of struct); Ruby's is no exception to this. The parent indicated they didn't understand why both struct/class exist because there i

Dry is mature and has additional support for Monads, thread safe containers, schemas. I'm leveraging more than just struct from Dry.

The libraries that provide immutability often provide stronger enforcement than this new Data class. I like the idea of something like this as part of Ruby core, but this was a chance to do it right and I don't think they took it far e

I can see why this was added, but I don't see myself using it anytime soon. If I just need a bundle of attributes and don't care about immutability then I will continue to use Struct. If I do need immutability I will continue to u

In reality there is a lot of overlap between structs and classes that the intent seems to be a bit lost on modern devs. They were intended (going back at least to C++) to convey different things. A struct is a light abstraction of related

From the article, "Alexa was getting a billion interactions a week, but most of those conversations were trivial commands to play music or ask about the weather. Those questions aren't monetizable." This is mostly how I use A

Hyundai requires dealerships to completely re-certify to be an authorized EV repair shop and add Electrify America charging stations at dealership costs. This is all very expensive and many dealerships can't afford the upgrades or don&

I'm confused. It seems like you are implying that trans fat is benign? Trans fat is absolutely harmful. The FDA banned adding partially hydrogenated oils (source of most trans fats) to foods back in 2015 and said trans fat is no longer

Average salary for a lawyer isn't that different than for a software engineer (slightly higher). Doctor's average on the other hand is more than double.

Peak coal was around 2008, but jobs started declining way back in 1925 and have steadily declined ever since. It's nothing to do with the union either. It's all continued improvement of automation through ever better machines. The

You completely missed the point. Manufacturer manuals can be hard to come by, but with older vehicles there are often after market manuals that were reasonably priced and quite exhaustive in details down to the proper torque of a bolt. YouT

The older cars like the 2005 Chevy Equinox are great for repairs. You can just buy a Chilton or Haynes manual for most of these which gives a complete vehicle tear down and details step by step almost all repairs.

Why would blockers wait for 1:1s and project meetings? Hopefully those are happening less frequently and should be addressed sooner. But the in another of your replies you said you want people to contact you directly when there is a blocker

It's unpopular because it's a terrible idea. Just because it's easy ssh'ing into the box, doesn't mean you should. Twenty years ago we didn't have the tools to do anything better. And while I miss some of the s

Yeah, I really wonder just how out of touch they are with their customer base to believe this is the best course of action. So many of their paying customers ended up that way because it was free and easy to test out an idea. Then if you st

Ok, I can see what you mean. This is also why when I made the comment about a "strategy" I put this in parenthesis "(in the sense that there can be a strategy to a game of luck)". My intent was not to imply that each in

Not all slots are connected to one big pot, but a few (the progessives) can be. In which case yes, the takeout requirement is applied to the set of the machines rather than a single machine. So if you had four machines that are fed 250K ea

Yeah, I was a bit confused why they thought that is what I was implying. I was just trying to explain high level how it works. I previously worked on a couple of online "slot machines" and several of my former colleagues write sof

by bigtunacan 4y ago
No, that's an oversimplification. The takeout is configurable. With older machines they have to be manually set at the machines, but with more modern machines it is controlled by a server. The period of time while the takeout remains

The payout is always less than the take, but the parent is correct. In most areas (of the US at least) casino slot machines are pretty tightly regulated to have to pay out a certain percentage of the take. To give an example, slot machines
