Me after beating

only to immediately lose all my rosaries in

and then spending the next 3 hours barely failing to

As someone who likes the difficulty of Hollow Knight and Silksong (despite being pretty bad at the game), I think the best point in the video is that it would be really nice to give the player options. I would still play on the hard setting, but there are friends I have who would love exploring the map and seeing all the amazing art, but I can’t recommend the game to them because I know they’d be super frustrated within an hour or two.

Maybe that’s why it says, “at first.” They couldn’t find it until it got loud. :)

What a quarter century of watching companies incorrectly implement “agile” software development does to a MF.

Oh, nice! Thanks for explaining that. I didn’t realize there was a way to run a cluster without HA.

I’m not sure how well that works if the cluster is only designed to be temporary, since removing a productive node from a cluster is a bit risky

Good callout. Just did some reading on the concept of maintaining a quorum, which I didn’t know about. Definitely need to be careful if I go with that approach, but it does sound interesting! I’m not entirely opposed to leaving the old laptop as a node and then using it for experimental stuff or maybe running just one specific standalone service on it after moving the critical stuff to the new server.

Sounds pretty straightforward. Thanks for the info!

That’s a fair point, but I kind of want to tinker around on the laptop without worrying too much about breaking things and figure out what all I actually want to self-host. That will help me figure out what sort of hardware I need.

And before you can reply with something obnoxious about frequency not being the same as importance… yes, obviously. In this context we are talking about the importance of a word to a language. Said differently, how necessary or critical is a word within a language. No one is arguing that “a”, “an”, or “or” are important concepts, but they are important to my ability to convey meaning. Yes, “existence” is more important than “or”, but if you removed both of those words from my vocabulary, it would be the missing “or” that would make communication more difficult overall.

You sound absolutely insufferable. I really hope you are just rage baiting; otherwise I feel really sad for you.

Even though I highly doubt you have any actual interest in the topic beyond antagonizing others in this thread, here is more information on Zipf’s law of abbreviation.

Makes me wonder where you draw the line between a powerful e-bike and a low power motorcycle.

It should have never gotten through code review, but the senior devs were themselves overloaded with work

Ngl, as much as I dislike AI, I think this is really the bigger issue. Hiring a junior and then merging his contributions without code reviewing is a disaster waiting to happen with or without AI.

Unfortunately sometimes it’s really hard to avoid. I’ve been to restaurants that don’t even have physical menus. You could probably find a menu on their website, but not always.
