Yeah, but you don’t find that out until later games. At the end of Chronicles, it certainly looks and feels like fighting a god.

Xenoblade Chronicles

My understanding is the only Australian breakdancing professional women who are better than her don’t have citizenship, so cannot compete.

It’s crazy what the talented engineers in the 1970s were doing with those 7400 series logic. It’s a lost art these days, just throw a 10c microcontroller on your board and control everything with code.

What makes you say the windows version is better? The lighting looks more accurate in the top one to me.

For anyone wondering, for a native English speaker, it’s pronounced like “for-jay-yo”.

It’s officially “for-jay-yo”.

I started working two-days-a-week from home in late 2019, so it was very easy for me to transition to full-time at home in 2020.

Does that make me one of the “before it was cool” kids? Now I’m back to one-day-per-week in the office.

As someone who only occasionally uses Discord, I honestly didn’t even know they had a desktop version of their app. I’ve always used it in the browser. Why do they even have a desktop version of their webapp?

Now you’re just making stuff up and putting words in other people’s months.

Oh man, now I’m conflicted. I had planned to buy a Qidi X-Plus3 for myself for Christmas. But this new prusa looks great. The Qidi is still bigger build volume with 280x280, and the qidi is half the price. But the prusa will have better community support, and software updates.

I bought Factorio back in the early Beta days, because it was one of the only fun puzzle/simulation games that had a native Linux build available directly on their website. They even had a Linux build of the demo. Factorio is the game I’ve got best value for money over the years.

Toml is superior to all.

Yeah, it was (and still is) a feature that was added to the RSS protocol.

Apple didn’t invent the concept of podcasts, but they sure popularized them. They used to be called syndicated audio, and were pretty niche. Then Apple added it as a feature of iTunes. The idea was that because your iPod didn’t have any wifi or data connection, you couldn’t listen to new content while out and about. So you would plug your iPod into your computer with iTunes to sync down all the latest content before you leave for the day. Then they needed feeds of new content to provide to the users, so lots of new episodicals were started, and Apple grouped them under the umbrella of “podcasts”.

Apple never made a product called iTouch. You’re thinking of a product called “iPod Touch”. It was the touchscreen version of the iPod (without the iconic clickwheel). The first one was essentially a slimmer iPhone 3G without a cellular modem.

I worked in an electronics repair store just after they came out. We replaced hundreds of broken screens on them. The sheer number of people who called them “iTouch” was surprising, considering Apple never called it that.

The fact that high end music streaming platforms are only just now starting to offer super high bitrate lossless “CD Quality” audio as an option, gives you an indication of how good CDs actually are as a physical medium.

A cheap old CD player connected via SPDIF to a modern mid-range DAC with decent speakers will give you better quality audio than the latest Sonos system streaming from Spotify.

I’ve been full time writing python professionally since 2015. You get used to it. It starts to just make sense and feel normal. Then when you move to a different language environment you wonder why their tooling doesn’t use a virtualenv.

I like the idea of uv, but I hate the name. Libuv is already a very popular C library, and used in everything from NodeJS to Julia to Python (through the popular uvloop module). Every time I see someone mention uv I get confused and think they’re talking about uvloop until I remember the Astral project, and then reconfirm to myself how much I disapprove of their name choice.

In Australia our eggs are kept in the refrigerated section in the supermarket (usually near the cheese and butter, because everyone knows eggs are dairy), and we’ve always put them in the fridge at home, so I guess they wash the protective coating off here too.
