Sue the computer screen manufacturer! They literally displayed the images!

It costs like $30 to rent a box truck from home depot to take a big load home. I can get a few sheets of plywood on my Outback with a couple ratchet straps and not going over 40 lol.

The other big question is who's paying for the infrastructure? If payments are done through a third party like Patreon, the host can't take a cut. Serving lemmy text and image content from a home server is one thing. Being a 4k streaming host is an entirely different business. Way more computing load and bandwidth, which means higher hosting costs.

I got physically attacked on the playground pretty much every day for years in elementary school. I feared my parents more than the attackers, so I took my lumps and never fought back. The teachers didn't care. One day I had enough. Grabbed the kid punching me, threw him to the ground, and kicked him a couple dozen times. He had bruises on his arms, legs, and torso and probably a few bruised ribs. The principal told me that fighting is never ok, but she didn't see it so couldn't say if there was a fight or not and warned me against getting into any fights in the future because she'd probably see those... First time any staff stood up for me. No problem though, every one of those kids left me alone and never bothered me again.

A week or two lol... I work for a tech company and we're usually 6 months delayed on macos updates because of the mountain of IT malware they have to validate and make work together for every release.

It's gefilte fish

That's the normal price difference though? In the US a 1TB PS5 is $499. A 1TB Steam Deck is $649.

It's not visibly reflective. Yes, it's white, but it's cool to the touch because the majority of the energy is radiated out into space via non-visible wavelengths. Someone has already posted a great YouTube video from Night Hawk In Light in a comment where he explains how this tech works and makes his own paint!

I was working on that yesterday. 😂 Building a feature to resolve variables in a serverless config file to custom sources.

I'll often cludge something together just to make it work but I don't feel like I made any progress

That's a good first step! I've been programming for ~25 years and that's still usually where I start. Get a little code that compiles and produces some kind of output or tracing. Then compare the output to your requirements and tweak the code to get it closer to the right behavior. Run it and repeat till it's doing what you want. Do this cycle with small changes, like a handful of lines or a short function, not 20 mins of coding at a time.

Test-driven development can also help with breaking down tasks. It takes a good amount of practice to learn the right patterns, but it's an approach that forces you to work with small narrowly scoped tasks. Then you chain those testable tasks together to create more complex behaviors to create robust testable code.

Experience takes time. Junior developers frequently ask me after I've helped them "but how did you just know how to do that? I've been trying to solve that for an hour and you did it in 10 seconds!!" The answer is because I've solved that exact problem before. More than a few times.

No image on Sync.

I like go for pretty much everything. Except working with arbitrary JSON. So painful.

Do you want crossover episodes? Because that's how you get crossover episodes.

NGL I'd love to see the plotlines of the shows swapped! Planet Express News and Information Services!

I remember. Finished halfway through kathy_ireland_nude_boobs.jpeg

Autonauts, Astroneer, Factorio, Minecraft. All great games with excellent replay value IMO.

I've finally reached the age where I don't ruminate about being drafted anymore. I turned 18 shortly after 9/11 and registering for the SS was terrifying. Now I just have to worry about my two sons coming of age and being drafted into WW3. 😞

Thoughts and prayers.
