  1. Are you sure? For me they always struggle and forget code after about 300 lines.
  2. In all of my school years, essays were THE WORST kind of exam there was. The grading was highly arbitrary anyway... Good that AI is killing that.
  3. The winnings were calculated and paid out correctly. The error was just in the string formatting in some App notification.
  4. But how is taking responsability just disappearing after you messed up?
  5. Why did the CEO leave because some dev made a typo? That wasn't necessarily caused by some error in the strategy of the company...
  6. To be fair in the specific case of CS2, the normal modes without FACEIT are really barely playable. Most games are just a massive loss or win, depending on who has the suspiciously good player with 100 hours in their team.
  7. Since I assume that spaceships are more an artistic thing, go for Blender.
  8. - There are too many views whithout explanation of what they are

    - By default the position of the tools and buttons is a chaotic mess

    - There are things that seem to be the same but arent (e.g. Sketch from the "Part Design" and "Sketch" view)

    - The 3D view is glitchy. The reflections make things invisible, AA is off by default, there is no proper Grid...

    - The QT stylesheet is kinda ugly. If you literally delete it completely and revert to the default that QT has it looks much nicer.

    - The settings are a bit messy and often it's not clear what they do.

  9. How is it a single place if every dev has a full copy of the repository? Also unless it's some software that each user customizes and builds for themselves, you still need some kind of way to tell which is the official version.
  10. > it was a hassle to get people to pose for photos

    This so much. I bought a better camera for a big party my parents where organizing, and it was such a terrible experience trying to get people into a photo. Even if they welcomed the photo, they just couldn't stop moving or talking while posing for it.

  11. You can do both though. It's silly to go to a music concert and constantly try to film something in the chaos, instead of enjoying it. But that shouldn't stop you from taking a few pictures of you and your friends at the concert.
  12. My theory is that smartphones pushed people into only consuming since it's annoying to write long texts on a phone.

    So you are only left with egomaniacs, spam, and old people on PC.

  13. You're probably looking for the feeling of old-school Forums. So nowadays probably Discord servers?

    Also... what on earth did you possibly comment to get banned from Reddit as a whole, and not just from a subreddit?!

  14. My experience (with Aliexpress) is that you usually get what you pay for.
  15. I wouldn't mind a simple or even boring website... But sometimes they are actively ugly.
  16. Also why does their website have to look so damn ugly? Is it so hard to design something inviting? I know that's not what really matters for a git server, but I just can't take such a project seriously. "Who knows what else they didn't really care about?" in the back of my head...
  17. Is the skill for this competition in honing the tool, or in using it? Or a combination of both?
  18. The problem with that is that what you might find important or beautiful changes with time.

    That random photo of your messy living room might be trash right now, but beloved in 20 years when you want to remember your old home.

  19. I think the conclusion was that they had to remove that for legal reasons, since technically they were already doing something that could be considered selling data.
  20. Why did they decide to do meth?
  21. People stop naming things after real existing words.
  22. Looking at the graphics is much easier than understanding the text for me. If I read the text I essencially have to build that graphic inside my mind, if I want to understand and remember it.
  23. You can, but it would be pointless since it would just filter out some honest people.
  24. Because it somewhat removes that implication that that different way is harder to live with.
  25. I have no idea what this is, and I still have no idea after reading the website.

    It reads like one of those fake AI written papers about nonsense that seem kinda real at first glance.

  26. Ironically that feels kinda rude to me. Like if I wasn't able to walk, I would want people to aknowledge that... instead of pretending that I just move differently.
  27. Without knowing the encryption key, it is just random data though. And since not even the creator knows, there sadly is no easter egg.
  28. I don't understand what people are doing on social media that they can get addicted by it, or at least specifically by the social aspect of it.

    E.g. facebook for me is mainly the messenger and a few random photos or people. Everything else on there is not enjoyable.

    Reddit is like a forum where I can occassionally say things about my hobbies. Also nothing that sucks me in, in an unhealthy way.

    X and Mastodon are mostly news and random people showing off things.

    Youtube is like TV where at some point you watched what you wanted to watch for the day.

    The only thing that seems addicting to me are Apps like Tiktok or Instagram, where you are just one simple swipe away from the next bit of short term entertainment.

  29. Yup. This is nothing more than "Hmm, this Nokia has its physical UI on a separate board... maybe I could use that somehow".
  30. I think the idea here is to basically create a new phone, but use the original case, buttons and display.
