My favorite subplot in disco elysium

Yeah I’m just gonna tell our group of 55+ year old mechanical engineers to learn Python; that’ll go over really well /s

Armored Core could have been a baller VR game

Same. I want to use it as a huge desktop display at work for those days when I need like 40 things visible at once

The cheapest plane I’d feel comfortable flying my family around in goes for about $100k, and you’d better be able to pay ~$5k a year on average for upkeep.

Meanwhile an instrument six pack is cheap buying it off someone that’s upgrading their cockpit.

Some places are inextricably tied to SimuLink due to how long it was around before any of the alternatives.

I get that there are solutions to the problem, but there’s no way a team of 10 can port 35 years of win32 dependence and keep the business solvent. Maybe incrementally, over the course of 10-15 years. We’re just now migrating off of .NET 4.8 because we use WCF so much.

Well, we all know what Anakin Skywalker thinks of this game.

It’s an adoption problem. My company only supports windows because all our customers use windows. All our customers use windows because all their vendors only support windows.

Planescape: Torment

Waiting to get a better eyeglass prescription so I can read the tiny text

First thing I did when I heard it was required for win 11.

I bet that’s been done at least once somewhere

Python is Spanish; a ton of people learned a bit in school and never picked it back up again. Places that speak it natively all have their own conventions because, even though the native languages were replaced by colonizers, a lot of the native languages patterns remained in place. Most places that speak it are super welcoming and stoked that you’re trying to learn.

Assembly is proto-indo-european

When you burn a disc it means using a laser to etch the data as pits and lands in a track on the disc. You’re physically changing the disc when you write to it.

I started using Python ~15 years ago. I didn’t go to school for CS.

Compared to using literally anything else at the time as a beginner, pip was the best thing out there that I could finally understand for getting third party code to work with my stuff, without copy paste… on Windows.

When I tried Linux, package managers and make were pretty cool for doing C/C++ work.

Despite all that, us “regular” engineers were consigned to Windows.

We either had to use VBA or a runtime that didn’t need to be installed.

I legitimately want to be cremated by the sun after I die. Doesn’t matter how long it takes.

Yeah let’s ignore the fact that it loses 70% of its strength at like 800 F, that fact invalidates my meme catchphrase!

Get a timer controlled power outlet and hook a Hitachi magic wand to it. Place the wand under your pillow. The vibration is super intense and gets uncomfortable at the highest setting. Bonus points you can wake and bate since you have a massager handy.

I have to do the same thing but my natural response isn’t to attack others based on physical traits or religious beliefs. My natural response is to figure out who’s hoarding the most resources and convince them it’s in their best interest to share lest others take a more violent approach at a more desperate time.
