Wait what vegan cat food debate? Cats are obligate carnivores, what insanity is this?
seth
Followed instructions but verification failed, seems like nothing happened except dick got stuck in toaster again. Using Arch, btw.
What responsibilities do publishers do to benefit the developers these days, with Steam available for self-publishing? Looking for an honest explanation, as I read some wiki pages and don't really understand the value of publishers (same for book publishers).
This is what I do. A pi with Kodi or Jellyfin or similar plugged into HDMI is fine, it doesn't matter what OS is on the TV if you're never using anything but the one input.
Wheels are pretty cool
Great to see the reminder, it's very easy to forget!
I love seeing these kinds of interactions
It was this way with our family dog growing up, that we got when I was maybe 5 or 6. Dad finally acquiesced begrudgingly after years of my older siblings wearing him down, and we got the last of a family friend's dog's puppies. Other than a few irregular chores the rest of us had of cleaning up after her, he ended up doing all the hard work of training her and making sure she was cared for properly. He had had dogs when he was younger and I think knowing how difficult the eventual loss is, is what kept us from getting one earlier. We all loved that dog but his actions showed he did the most.
Oh wow, really steep fines, less than one year's salary of the whistleblowers they fucked over in several cases. Less than the yearly compensation of the executives who should be held criminally liable in every case. Essentially no penalty at all.
Factory patterns are horrible, because they mix config into program code, maximizing uncertainty when debugging
I've always hated factory patterns because I find them unintuitive, but I couldn't articulate why I find them that way or even organize the reasons why in my head. I just recognized them as a frequent source of annoying debug sessions. I envy your ability to concisely convey something like this.
Deprives creators of compensation in what way? It requires a copy or copies of the book to have been purchased in order to lend out. And, the creators of books see dick-all from the sale of the book. Most of the money goes to the publisher, who acts as a gatekeeper to decide which books are worth publishing and de-incentivizes the production of new works. What a dumb argument in addition to being morally reprehensible.
I filtered by local as you suggested and saw it pretty quickly. Thanks for the suggestion, that was a very interesting thread to read.
