Not trying to be mean, but when’s the last time you spent any time with a kid around that age? My toddler is doing things along those lines with her hands in every picture I have of her.

It’s literally the test run/marketing push for this open source chip. Yes they will be available outside of just being built into the badge. On other forums there are people who pre-ordered the chip (before it was announced to be used in the badge) who are saying they have confirmation their order shipped.

Firefox or one of it’s many many forks is the way to go. Personally I use IronFox as a browser that’s locked down by default, with some heavy uBlock Origin as blocking (it’s a less featured uMatrix), and an “on device VPN” app for DNS filtering for device wide ad blocking.

That’s cool but isn’t that a big part of the gameplay? Properly juggling pawn job priorities?

I feel like that’s just begging for someone to use that chance to air their grievances at the whole company before storming out.

Like seriously what the ever loving shit is that?

I’d probably break into a hysterical laugh or cuss out the whole damn company, depending on how my day had been going.

If you work at a company where all of its offices are in the same time zone and you’re time-stamping logs, then it’s more expedient for understanding and placing an event in time against other things to use local time.

Unless everything is already standardized as GMT with offset I guess, but I feel like down that route lies madness.

“I got your email at 20:37:45-7:00” is a few more steps than “I got your email at 1:37PM”.

It’s not a big hurdle, but I try to design for the newest member on the team scrambling in panic rather than a calm cool professional already familiar with conventions.

Now, as soon as we do start dealing with multiple time zones I would just cut my custom time formatting string down to the shorthand to have the scripting language output in the full ISO 8601 format. But until then, being able to easily sort the the date properly and having the time be more human readable is a more “workable” compromise.

Except I can’t get behind the time part of it, personally. I can see the point of doing GMT with the offset if you’re working across multiple timezones, but it’s overkill for situations where you aren’t.

It’s heavily implied in the final comic that he’s scout’s dad, or at the very least “the dad who stepped up”. It was surprisingly touching for the cocaine infused “lore” of TF2.

While better pay for care workers could end up being a problem resulting in higher costs, when people like you bring up this topic it is without addressing the potential cost savings to be had by clawing back “administrative” costs.

Yes, there is absolutely some level of administration needed, and no one is arguing that we should make some aspect of care worse to enable better pay for nurses and other care staff.

The argument generally is that there is more than significant overpay happening at high levels (executive and levels close to them) which could be drawn from at little to no noticable difference to the executives and overpaid themselves while significantly improving things for the levels below them.

Oh no, one of them made 3m in a year instead of 4m? That’s 5 whole six-figure positions even with your 20% overhead.

Until such time as these sorts of hypothetical talks about the impact of raising pay begin to also including the hypothetical that this additional pay could come by redirecting money that already exists and already goes into these systems, examining executive compensation packages and the like, you aren’t going to make any ground on the “costs” argument.

Because there’s currently a lot more than 20% of expenses going to “overhead”. Maybe 20% to administrative overhead, plus 50% to executive compensation packages.

And look, I get that not every exec is Musk, and the margins can be smaller than people may assume. I have family that run a small family business who have to make those sorts of decisions and costs absolutely do add up fucking quick.

But that’s all the more reason to be open and honest about this shit instead of trying to frame this with only one side.

There probably are some hospitals out in podunk nowhere where there isn’t anything left to cut from the execs and administration, but there are plenty of places (at least in the US) that are explicitly for profit.

So just as I have family running a small family business where things are fair for their grand total of… four employees I think, my wife’s family used to be close with the elder care magnate in their area. Wife’s family matriarch was close friends with the lady who married the elder care magnate.

We had to sit and watch this entitled bitch have a puff-piece novel ghost-written about the trauma of having a dedicated live in care team for her own mother while she declined, dedicated driver and multiple handlers so they could go on beach days still… while her former supposed best friend (my wife’s mother) suffered in one of her husband’s facilities. Had the audacity to message asking if there was anything she could do, but couldn’t even get off her ass and visit. To even risk seeing the true mess of elder care as her husband ran it.

So yeah, all that shit to say: Yes, the money has to come from somewhere, but there’s a whole bunch of fucking money right fucking there that keeps going into hoards instead of actually being put to use for the betterment of the company/workers/etc.

Can’t recommend it enough. Nothing beats having your own “real” saves from childhood in the convenience factor of modern emulation.

Now this time they just need to let him fucking cook. Witcher was disappointing with how it felt like it just speedran the fucking plot into “super Ciri” like none of the buildup was important.

Yep. Love my wife, but I’ve learned that certain snacks transcend the “leave some for other people” rule. Either keep my own stash or get too much for anyone to finish in one sitting.

More sweetly, I can buy her her own “stash” so there’s enough for both of us.

Why did this need to be an “app” that lives in your tray? You can whip this up in most scripting languages in an hour max, and if you can’t easily set a keybinding for it with what you’re using then you can set up AHK to run it.

Hell, the whole thing could be done in AHK completely with dynamically setting your “safe” window with a different key combo.

Capture the current focused window’s PID with one keybinding, or the window title, or some other unique identifier of your choice.

Another keybinding mutes, switches to desktop, then maximizes previously saved window. If previously saved window does not exist, does some sort of backup action, like opening a reasonable Google search.

than the what? I think there’s something wrong with your image

One of the guys who worked on the game made a whole ton of neat retrospective videos on it years ago (Mickey Mania is the US title for it):

• Coder retrospective playlist: https://youtu.be/Lvn0JXV3B88
• Some insight into how some advanced levels worked: https://youtu.be/gRzKAe9UtoU and https://youtu.be/nt-AxAqlrOo
• Director retrospective: https://youtu.be/S33HENoj4GE and https://youtu.be/s11orSs6shM and https://youtu.be/fBk6cbVjxrE
• How the anti-piracy features work, and bypassing them: https://youtu.be/lDgD-_6eZEM and https://youtu.be/kgjQzD8NI48
• Only existing footage of cancelled sequel: https://youtu.be/iBEA9KmPw1I

Gaming Hut and Coding Secrets are great channels by the way. They have a bunch of behind the scenes stuff from a bunch of games, including a bunch of retrospective on Sonic 3D Blast and the director walking through his process of making a director’s cut romhack.

They’re probably safe until some governmental organization builds up enough motivation and money to try and investigate it. And given the reaming they gave the IRS I doubt anyone is up for it.

Beyond that, I can’t imagine the sheer legal nightmare it would be, given that MS will hire the best fucking lawyers money can buy. How do you quantify how much is AI generated and how much isn’t? How much involvement of AI makes it “AI code”? You could spend years in court arguing about where that particular line is.

It’s a fun hypothetical, but unlikely to matter to any real degree, at least for a company their size. Maybe it could be used against some startup making dumb public statements.
