New-Wave Modernism Revival

I write a lot of scripts that engineers need to run. I used to really try to make things 'fail soft' so that even if one piece failed the rest of the script would keep running and let you know which components failed and what action you needed to take to fix the problem.

Eventually I had so many issues with people assuming that any errors that didn't result in a failure were safe to ignore and crucial manual steps were being missed. I had to start making them 'fail hard' and stop completely when a step failed because it was the only way to get people to reliably perform the desired manual step.

Trying to predict and account for other people's behavior is really tricky, particularly when a high level of precision is required.

Around back there is a mail slot where you can put cash in and furry porn comes out. Don't ask any questions.

It's a pretty understated horror element of the game honestly. The suit is so powerful but she can sort of just magic it away easily. But then to suddenly be fused to and stuck inside of it? Pretty terrifying even though the game glosses over it pretty quickly.

"We're making something new but it's boring and will suck." said no one ever.

They want to make VPNs illegal too.

Assume a frictionless spherical microwave.

At least when I do dumbfuck stuff no one is watching or influenced by me. If you're going to be leader of the free world maybe try to keep the dumbfuckery to a minimum or private times.

People who want to kill themselves and don't have access to a gun sometimes just give up and decide to live instead. Suicidal thoughts are not always persistent, they are fleeting. Having easy access to a gun is just another way to turn a temporary feeling into a permanent choice. It doesn't make you more likely to commit suicide, but it does make it more likely that a suicidal ideation turns into a suicidal action.

My mind can't parse this sentence. Is it soliciting gaping asshole pics?

Me trying to find a niche of stuff that I can 3d print and sell at a profit.

You can say that again

Such a great film. Everything unravels so quickly.

Been meaning to rewatch this one. It was great but I definitely had to do some reading afterwards to make sense of it all.

Even with solar a UPS is a good idea if you're running a home server. You can still get voltage spikes or brief outages. You don't want to lose power when you have a service writing to a database.

That being said a single large UPS is expensive to maintain. For home use I don't go over 1000W on a single UPS. Any larger than that creeps into 'enterprise pricing' for battery replacements.

Steam, do not tell my friends of the unspeakable crimes that I commit in Rimworld. Only God can judge my sins.

I'm glad FromSoft doesn't keep track. Some bosses had to take me at least 30-40 attempts.

I'm not racist! [Race] really does [negative stereotype].

For 99% of people an online password manager like Bitwarden or LastPass is going to significantly help them manage passwords securely despite the risks associated with cloud services. Most people can't handle self hosting Bitwarden or syncing a Keepass database by themselves. Without an easy to access and easy to use online option people will revert to significantly riskier methods like password reuse or using some sort of repeatable/guessable pattern.

For the 1% of people who want more security there are options like Vaultwarden or Keepass. Even then it's not uncommon to make mistakes and lose data/access or leave some sort of vulnerability exposed. The attack surface is a lot smaller than a public service though which is beneficial.
