Cryptocurrency or not, I don’t think posts should be monetized. This is mostly a platform for discussion. People shouldn’t be paid just for discussing with each other. People should discuss because they find the topic fun or interesting, not because someone will pay you to do it.

No amount of money would make me want to endure that torture. Most of earth’s history is just absolutely nothing. Apart from a few asteroid strikes, Cambrian explosion is about as exciting as things can get, and even that is just 100 million years of barely anything happening.

I don’t want to sit down and see how moss forms over millions of years.

Even forgot to update the description with the new lower offer.

It’s time to move to talking about spreadsheets on Linux instead of gaming on Linux

Windows has a tendency to force install updates at the most awkward times. Especially when you really don’t want Windows to reboot.

It’s not illegal to make shitty software

Hate is a strong word. I just prefer to listen to other stuff. I understand how they were culturally significant half a century ago, but that’s half a century ago.

I can give some guesses on 2.

• Familiarity. Most people are familiar using Windows. Nurses aren’t necessarily tech savvy, so an unfamiliar system might threw them off.
• Maintenance. It’s easier to recruit people who know how to maintain Windows systems. Linux is tricky because it comes in so many different distributions, and any maintainer must be aware of these differences.
• UI sucks big time on Linux. It’s so much easier and reliable to just do a winform.
• Communication with other equipment. I guess some computers are talking to other medical equipment, and those equipment might only have drivers written in Windows, because that’s what most are using.
• If it ain’t broken, don’t fix it. Why change to Linux when Windows is doing the job?

The thing I remember most of my impression playing it was that I constantly had the thought: “that opening village fight was really fun, I wonder when they will pull that off again”, and then they never did. So that expectation left me a bit of a sour taste.

This was maybe 15 years ago. I might have a different impression if I would play it again, but I haven’t done it.

I’m probably in the minority, but I didn’t enjoy RE4 as much as others when I played it. Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s a great game. Just not to the standards people hyped it up to.

I think my main issue with it is that it has a masterful opening sequence, but then it never really builds on it after.

First fight in the village was truly ahead of its time. It gives not only the player lots of options, but the enemies have lots of options to counter you. It puts the player into many unpredictable situations. It’s a very dynamic fight and really sets a unique mood for the game.

Then the rest of the game turns more and more into a corridor shooter, especially after the village act. Still a good corridor shooter, but I hoped to see it build more on the open combat we saw in the opening section.

It was a great while ago I played it, but that was the impression I had back then.

Speed runners hate it because it’s so dependent on good RNG

Everything is a remix. Most creative work inherit ideas from other work. Sometimes it’s intentional. Other times it’s unintentional. Almost no creative work is purely original.

That’s just walking out without paying (without getting caught).

Well, anything that can be captured at compile time or by the IDE is infinitely better than the situation we have today.

I think having null is great in some cases where you need to represent missing value. It’s just that there’s no good way to know for sure if you need to do null checks or not. The only way around it is to do null checks everywhere, which no one wants to do because fuck that. Nowadays there’s Optional which solves some of this, but it was introduced way too late.

If I were to redesign Java the first thing I would do is to add a nullable keyword or something.

Cuz it’s a children’s movie and I loved the movie as a child but now I’m an adult and today’s children’s movies aren’t the same

Also: everything is nullable. There are no safety guarantees to ensure you’ve done the necessary null checks. And if you miss your program will crash.

Java is disliked because it’s designed around flawed OOP principles developed in the 80s and 90s. The code easily turn into a mess if you adhere to these principles, because they’re flawed. If you avoid using these principles, you will still get a mess, because that’s not how Java is supposed to be used.

I’m poor, so Volca FM is enough for me

JAVA: Just Another Version of Assembly
