Thank you

What’s going on in the top picture? Prisoners being entertained with a shadow play?

Yeah, they can be useful, but not in the way that the snake oil salesmen would like you to believe. Code completion suggestions are kind of a wash: often close but needing corrections, to the point where it’s easier to just write it myself. Vibe coding really only works for basic, already-solved problems. Many kinds of code changes take such a level of precision or so many back-and-fourths with the AI that it’s more efficient to describe the logic in a programming language than in English. But AI can help with large repetitive tasks, though. Use it like a refactoring tool, but for refactorings not offered by your normal tooling. It’ll get you close, then you put the final touches on yourself.

Perfection

He was not the least bit scared to be smashed into a pulp. Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Robin!

The bottom picture is of Faith, the “second Slayer” in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, who was chosen as the new Slayer following Buffy’s first death. She used this phrase a lot. It was the style of the time.

True for me too, only I did buy a PS5, then a Steam Deck, then built a Linux gaming PC. I doubt I’ll ever go back to PS again, not after this gen.

A long time ago, it was actually the best

It was so good before then

Re: length of commands, PS commands are longer, but they also have tab completion so realistically you never type the whole thing, only enough to be unambiguous and press tab. I’ll grant it’s still longer than the equivalent bash, but not by as much as it appears.

The Thaumaturge and Clair Obscur both look pretty weird

Seriously, this company doesn’t cater Return Of Jim? One star.

Ah, good old Masamune Shirow

This lines up with my own takes on Windows versions. I think 8 was better than people give it credit for. I never minded the UI personally, and it was fast and responsive.

The thing about Arsenal is, they always try to walk it in

Nah, by the time millennials were old enough to use the internet, it was already there. Speaking as Gen X, I recall the days when you could just get stuck in a game and never figure it out. Or you’d call a pay-per-minute phone number or hope a magazine would cover it.

In my experience, pod machine coffee (specifically Keurig) tastes way worse than auto drip machine coffee, which is worse than the best coffee that you can make via manual pour over.

French press is an immersion brewing method, also typically unfiltered. It produces a mellower, more full-bodied brew. Pour-over is a percolation brewing method, typically filtered. It produces stronger, clearer flavors with less body. Both are excellent, cheap alternatives to using an auto drip machine and will absolutely produce better coffee than most pod machines. Which brew method is better depends on personal preferences.

You don’t need pressure to make good coffee. You do need pressure to make espresso.

Reply #3: You should have gotten cut instead of stabbed to decrease risk of infection
