Zone of the Enders had a touching anime series about a widowed space truck driver whom stumbles upon a sentient orbital frame which he considers his surrogate daughter as he attempts to become a better father and reconnect with his grown kids, amidst an inter-system civil war.
And I’m kinda sure it’s cannon.
No, I am not making this up.
Ever tried to read something in your dreams? Coding is basically 90% reading and 10% writing. Then you have to insure that shit compiles and runs.
I can’t speak for you, but I don’t think my brain has a valid edition of the Java Development Kit.
Just think: People having to get help because the job they quit three years ago keeps showing up in their dreams. What’s worse is that they keep doing it, in control but unaware of the fact that they aren’t getting paid, threatened by their in-dream former boss with being fired if the quota wasn’t met.
Staying awake yet unemployed becomes one of their only escapes. They turn to stimulants to stay away from ‘work’ just a bit longer, just a little more peace.
But they then ‘crash’, falling asleep for almost a day, and starting a shift that feels like an eternity, Inception style.
Want that cool image as a background? Whoops.
Want to use that image with that nifty ML tool you downloaded? Uh oh.
That random web service at least five years old with an upload field for an image? Roll the dice; win on snake eyes.
Want to use that picture as an avatar in a forum that isn’t that popular? Hmmm.
How about that WordPress blog of yours? Hopefully on 5.8 or better; otherwise unsupported natively.
Would you like thumbnails on these downloads in your favorite Linix distro? Uh, maybe; Ubuntu didn’t get it until 22.10.
How about Windows? Well, 11 is fine, but 10 needs an extension.
None of this can’t be overcome with some effort, but it’s kind of painful right now.
I’d rather see the savings in the army of Javascript I apparently need today for the ‘modern’ web experience. Image files have gotten lots of love, but hey, here’s a shitty 27 year old language designed for validating form input!
Yes! It’s the epitome of clarity. I gotta admit, when I hear the accent, I immediately assume the person is American.
Hey, as an American I found that quite…ah, accurate.
It does vary by which part of the states you get someone from, but yes, apparently we get quite loud (if only to speak over our abundant amounts of cars and gunfire). And is charming as it can be to some, the variations in accents you find on the south and eastern areas in particular can get old quick.
Did you actually watch the video?
He literally presents a list of reasons around 5:12. Then he goes on to describe how formaldehyde already affects him.
Resin priting can be a lot of fun, but he’s correct: that shit is toxic. It needs to be respected, and he’s also correct in pointing out the carbon filter on many printers is basically a placebo for the consumer.
Still don’t believe him? Fine. Go checkout the small book that is the set of warnings with this stuff from a resin producer: https://entropyresins.com/safety/epoxy-safety-tips/
I can’t put my finger on it, but I think there’s been an uptick also in posts purely in the form of increasing engagement. Safe ‘bets’ on getting responses (i.e. ++ to AskReddit), remarkably bland headlines, and just shit that reminds me of controversy of the “jumpstart” of automated bots they used in the earlier days.
Well, let’s at least keep tabs on it.
Rarely, TBH. Unless you’re OK with being an absolute ass in some form or another.
