Your first example might actually be really nice in something like a math paper. Something that follows a somewhat rigid premises-argument-conclusion format. For prose, it's obviously silly, because one point and one goal of prose is t

Hm, I've been trying to learn godot, but I kinda keep hitting walls I'm not sure how to navigate. I pretty much get the idea, for a simple platformer, you'd build your enemies, players and level elements as scenes, and then y

In case someone is hardening these settings, we had a weird issue with Windows Server 2016 (iirc) based on this. The mozilla SSL config generator is going to give you a cipher configuration and happily claims Windows 7 and Win2016 both can

From my point of view, a lot of people want to use the big stick the FAANG guys use, but they haven't learned that the big stick is heavy, to stretch an analogy. I'm overall happy I have seen a bunch of different workflows. For ex

Very much agree on #1 and #2, and 6/7/8 in the same vein. Our internal documentation had a quality jump when we started to explicitly prefix documents with their intended audience. For example, documentation targeted at our custom

More of an anecdote, but our software allows users to upload files, documents, images and such. This in turn means, technically speaking, our platform could be used to distribute malware or other illegal content. I've asked: Well what

Hm, again. I don't think I agree it's that clearcut. I've found that if you mostly want a tree of simple key-value assignments, such as database.postgres.user or database.mysql.timezone, TOML is actually very hard to beat. It

Mh, but you're on used cars, so you are a cycle or two behind. So yeah, you can't afford a new EV. But let's wait for until there are used EVs.

For me, 'office days' as you'd see in a university also works well. At work, people value and like to request my input on various architectual or technical things, so managing interuptions besides some technical tasks can be

Mh, this seems useful for our internal discussions of kafka vs rabbitmq, and might make some of the stuff we do with rabbitmq easier or more effective. Neat. So, I'm taking bets how many days it takes until some teams decide that any f

I think the most anticlimatic, but most effective way to make such an AI would be to run an engine like stockfish at maximum strength to turn a game into an endgame, and then use the endgame tables to convert the game to a forced draw.

This depends on the level of the player observing the game, compared to the players level. It's pretty common to have a strong player at a masters level pointing out subtle positional or tactical mistakes, but the enemy is not skilled

As said in another comment, we had a dozen instances or two affected. Most of the hashi stack just lost a node and chugged along at reduced redundancy. A patroni/postgres cluster lost a replica, but automatically re-integrated it into

Also if you follow AWS HA guidelines, this does not lead to a service outage. We were affected by this and it knocked a dozen or two systems offline for 6 hours or so. AZ redundancy took over and that was it and oncall went back to sleep.

You don't need docker to run the game. You run the build process of the game in a container with old dependencies.
