Yeah I’m pretty sure this was about pottery. If you make the same pot 100 times that 100th pot is your best one.

Love this. It gives me a great idea for what to do with my Tidbyt. https://tidbyt.com/

It works on Windows by essentially rooting the machine. MS holds control of a bunch of stuff because they hold the signing keys. It’s fundamentally incompatible with open source.

The cheating isn’t just about input speed or accuracy though. It’s about seeing around corners or having knowledge about other things in the game that you can’t see on the screen.

Can cobfirm, I’ve been driving a Model 3 for 6ish years and the brakes have problems from disuse pretty regularly. It’s annoying but not critical. Other than that it has been shockingly reliable. This matches my experience.

I desperately want to be a fan of ownCloud, because it offers clients natively across Mac/Linux/mobile, but it’s such a mess. Every platform has small bugs and reliability problems that makes the whole thing useless.

Great reply. What comes to mind from my experience is storing full shipping rate tables for multiple shipping providers. Those change extremely rarely but are a high throughput exact lookup in a critical path (a checkout). But we just imple

While I agree and this all seems reasonable, I think you give the average person far too much credit.

My goodness, thank you. The other white noise apps I use for my kids when we travel work on a subscription. I have to remember to subscribe, to play a single sound, then cancel my subscription. Made me want to learn iOS development out of s

It makes some things better. But it also replaces transparency in some apps with just a solid block of colour. Photos you lose like 10-20% of the screen. The UI used to fit and work well and they just broke it. Maddening.

This reads like a hit piece based on a personal vendetta. I'd be careful how much weight to give this.

There is no way. Shopify is trying to be part of the Ruby community, because it knows if it becomes the community or bypasses the community, then the community are dead. I think what is most likely is that Shopify is trying to achieve some

He usually just stays out of this stuff. The funny thing about inventing a language you love, is you spend your career writing C rather than actually writing code in the language you love.

It’s easy to point at politics or people and some sinister motive. Maybe that’s what it is. But don’t underestimate what can be accomplished through incompetence. Shopify is a multi-billion dollar company that has processed over a trillion

Mike is salt of the earth, a wonderful man. The community is lucky to have him. I also of course did not know the size of his donation, but it’s not that surprising. Especially since he didn’t advertise his reason for donating, or his reaso

Without knowing the answer, Shopify in general prioritizes staying on the newest version of basically everything. They deploy rails and ruby from main branch into production roughly weekly, for example. So it may just be because its current

Dead Cells did this. I was about to give up, because I am old and I want to play games not grind one part of a game. But I found an assist mode menu that lets you tweak making it easier, with no penalty, and a nice message from the devs exp

My local Canadian international airport mandates food vendors and restaurants all be staffed by one food service company. So even though past security we have one of our good local coffee shops, the price is inflated AND also they make terr

Or some other unrelated manager doing the firing.

by kimos 1y ago
This is how I have seen it done. You end up with managers firing people they do not know, and employees getting 15 min meeting invites and knowing what it means. But it’s much more compassionate and human.

Was this the case on SNES? Because I absolutely remember the FF infinite codes and noticing patterns, but I used my SNES Game Genie more than my NES one.

Clio is a gem. I know a few great people who Shopify chewed through that ended up there and are happy.
