Butt probe it is!

Had manager that wanted us to return error codes on a field of an API response along with an HTTP 200 because “errors bad”. It needed a few of us to make him understand how that worked against common design patterns and you still had to handle error codes since you didn’t know if the error would be coming from the app, web server, api gateway, local network (no internet), etc.

They are easy to read and were some people’s introduction to fantasy/fiction (not everything is as dull as school assignments) and a set of shared experiences growing up.

Cat and echo are bloat. What’s wrong with programming the microchips each time you want to change a byte?

It would be nice if its both (drop down with default to the best guess of your hardware).

No longer would you have to believe nvidia or amd, you can lookup real numbers from existing players. They will need to account for fsr and dlss so fake frames are taken into account but it could be a nice tool for planning hardware updates.

Raspberry PI 4 MSRP when introduced (2019): $35 (1 GB) $45 (2 GB) $55 (4 GB) $75 (8 GB)

Raspberry PI 5 MSRP when introduced (2023): $45 (1GB - added later) $50 (2 GB) $60 (4 GB) $80 (8 GB) $120 (16 GB)

The 5 while claiming 2x performance was considered to be the start of offering no value for many users since it started above $100 for the 16 GB model, which many small form factor used PCs from EBay could surpass in performance for projects that required no GPIO (like self hosting apps).

Before 2020 each new generation would offer a performance and memory boost at similar prices to the previous.

I always thought of Macs as not a good value before, but nowadays for laptops at least they seem to be relatively good.

I still find them annoyingly unintuitive, but that’s probably due to lack of experience. At least they come with some (old) version of bash and support standard stuff like ssh out of the box from my understanding.

“Don’t reccommend channel” from the options next to the video.

I remember a similar experience. So much time was wasted just keeping some small app limping along with security patches because no one knew or wanted to know how it worked.

Pair that with oracle’s notoriously useless support which always required you to be on the latest patch before even providing an answer and it made the decision to leave it in the rearview mirror the easiest part of some modernization effort.

Let whatever shitty OS wants to add that garbage do it themselves. Also, legislators should SystemDeezNutz!

They were not profitable though, you can only do that for so long before you fold and then no one gets anything.

I probably should mention I’m on bazzite, so a lot of things just work out of the gate, not sure about other distros.

They work out of the box, but the firmware updater is what’s windows only (pro 2 and pro 3 at least). Not even a MacOS version of the firmware tool.

The larger issue I found with them was that hollow knight and silksong didn’t capture the triggers properly on their Linux version making them unplayable. Also the games would crash once in a while. You have to run the windows version with proton to get a solid experience. I read it was due to outdated Linux input libraries used by unity or whatever game engine it uses.

We are more basic and stick to “penis tower”. A true to life embodiment of capitalism.

Instructions unclear, they got ran over at the intersection by a dodge ram with a lift kit that could not see them.

All of them are forced to drive. Some people admit they are terrible drivers, but have no options if they still want to have a life not revolving around commuting.

My electric bill is already 2x+ that of the neighboring city due to data centers having an understanding with the for profit electric company that serves us. No thank you.

Then you’d also need to remove already successful “evergreen” titles in that case, which might land you back into the same. Not a lot of money for new games.

Hyundai’s and kias are known for costing more in labor and parts to repair (while taking a chance it might not work out) than a comparable car in working order.

No one should buy a product on a promise of future functionality. The answer is a clear “no” as of now.
