My only real gripe with it so far (only 6 hours logged because I've been waiting for improvements) is the performance. Like when I installed kcd 2 now I expected to have to go in and turn down some settings because the first one was quite heavy to run. But no, right out the box it runs amazingly on all ultra (with dlss enabled as a caveat). I'm just waiting for some random youtuber to say "oh the deva forgot to set this one flag in the level editor and now it runs three times better".
One issue with that is China is still a heavily bike and moped driven country. The issue is when more of their population is able to afford cars. So they could still "catch up".
I agree kotlin can be a cool language sometimes. And I'm sure it's been a more gradual journey if you've worked with it while it's been evolving. But man, jumping in at Android 10/11 having to remain compatible with 7 (we've moved up to a minimum of 10 now thankfully) with how much background services and file storage permissions changed right around that time was an extreme headache to work around.
But I definitely prefer C#'s async/await Tasks than trying to wrap my head around all the various coroutine scopes, runBlocking and all that jazz. I know they are very similar concepts, but there's just something with coroutines that isn't clicking in my head.
Android is the worst environment I've ever worked in. Concurrency? Use Threads! No wait, we got handlers and loopers now. Oh wait sorry, we're doing coroutines this year.
Now let's do DI with Koin. But ooh google released their own version with Dagger, but oh no! It's clunky to use, so well slap some more stuff in top and call it Hilt!
Networking, persistent storage, UI, permission flows, any other API they have follow the same pattern of new shiny thing, oh it didn't turn out very good, here's a new thing to replace the old. Congrats, every blog and SO answer is now outdated. Even the build system has gone from Maven to Gradle in Groovy to Gradle using Kotlin.
And don't get me started on Android Studio itself. The worst IDE I've ever touched. Any changes to the manifest and now you need to manually sync the project. Be prepared to create a shortcut to gradle's cache folder for easy deleting whenever it shits the bed.
Fuck Android development, I hope I'll never have to touch it again after this job.
I guess I do it for a couple of reasons. My mind wanders a lot, looking at myself keeps me a bit focused and ensures I don't do anything silly. I also try to put myself as close to the camera as I can, I know you often come off better looking into the camera when speaking.
That's the joke. Greedo shooting first was a poor edit made in later editions, because god forbid the smuggler plays a bit dirty sometimes. If you look closely Han's head just shifts to the side like someone cut it out in Paint. It was the start of the downfall of the originals tragic remaster journey.
I mean, there is definitely a crowd that don't like women as lead characters. While not directly related to movies, just see how a bit of peach fuzz on Aloy upset people when they showed off the new Horizon game. And that's not a poorly written game or character.
Something like Captain Marvel does suit your argument; a poorly written character and movie, so people who criticise it get lumped in with the "women are bad" crowd. But there definitely are people who just hate things that put women in the spotlight.
I think I should try this game at some point. I feel like it has always been there. I might be making up memories, but I think I remember always seeing this game listed in the games section on any Linux distro I tried even over a decade ago. While other RTS' have come and gone, 0 AD has always been watching from the shadows.
Agreed. Like I get "hurr durr statistics". But you're not very likely to be in a car crash on any given day, but you still put your seat belt on. That people can't take the backseat for just a second and have some empathy for the struggles of other people without butting in with whataboutism. You're even allowed to share in their struggle. I don't fear I'll be SAd, but of course I fear physical violence, so use your commonality to support each other rather than trying to one up.
But I feel like that will just lead to more training with the same (or more) hardware with a more efficient model. Bitcoin mining didn't slow down only because it got harder. However I don't know enough about the training process. I assume more efficient use of the hardware would allow for larger models to be trained on the same hardware and training data?
The lamp is rendered by small electric lights, be it LEDs or LCD. CRTs are in a bit of an grey area. But you can absolutely use a monitor as a light source by itself .
It's an all or nothing unless you want to be the ruler who decides whose phobia is common or sever enough to justify a content warning.
Sorry, Jane Doe, but your xanthophobia just isn't common enough to warrant a content warning.
I don't mean to demean you, but saying that your particular phobia is bad enough to warrant a cw, but then saying that someone else's isn't, comes off as quite a poor take.
Well. They can stop updating the open source code, create manifest v4 and now all chromium browsers are shit out of luck.
