ViRGE 3D, upgraded the memory with 2 chips to play Tomb Raider.
Took about 2 minutes to find a two wheeled open seat vehicle powered by a motor (definition of a motorcycle) with most of those requirements. Look up the SWAGTRON Swagcycle. All for about 800€
A step backwards just for changing the pedals for footpegs and adding a throttle control? I think it's a great step forward, you don't have to get tired anymore.
In Valheim it was quite real and comfy at the same time. Weird I know.
Teletransportation is just killing and recreation of a new being.
Technicalities aside, TS is being pushed by MSFT in their SaaS custom components, and that right there will keep it relevant a while. MSFT is known for changing names a lot, but not for killing technologies.
After over 5 years of writing TS, I have had to do plain JS sometimes, and it is scary. It feels like walking blindfold. I'm spoiled.
Doesn't happen as much, but family and non tech friends would present me to other people that "worked with computers" thinking I could take new job opportunities. They were always wildly unrelated to my field.
I know I know,.. they acted in good faith, and probably could have adapted a bit, but like 30 years ago there was a lot of overlap and systems where somewhat similar, but now somebody trained in Linux kernel maintenance isn't going to learn how to create SharePoint SPFx webparts. Development is very specific now!
155.000€ for new 5 bedroom 200+ m2 duplex in my small town in Spain.
No HOAs! supermarkets and schools are in walking distance ;)
Cheapest is around 30K, but why bother?
Myth: code can be ugly as long as it works, don't spend company time on making it look good or on minor optimizations.
The truth is that you can tell when effort has been put into a job. Even if it just works, the lack of discipline means that in the end it will be difficult to maintain and probably will fail in unexpected situations.
Every language has its conventions, but if I spot more than a line of separation between blocks of code, that is a common telltale sign of noob. Run from that shit.
I used an Ubuntu Phone as my daily for about 6 months.
Some easy examples you can relate to:
- do you work overtime, even for a minute, and don't get paid for it? Wage theft!
- does your company make fun of people using their allowed days off, making you not use them? Wage theft!
- does your company make you buy tools required for your job, because the ones available are shit or non existant? Wage theft!
- does your boss call you during your days off, holidays or vacations? Wage theft!
- are you assigned tasks that are more suited to a higher compensation level, but don't see a dime? Wage theft!
- are your coffee and lunch breaks interrupted early or entirely canceled and not compensated? Again, wage theft!
I regularly go to "La Mañica" in Albacete, where you can get the baturro with a drink and coffee for less than 10€. That bocadillo is bigger than my arm.
