My experience has been that most people only use a computer at work and use their phone or a smart TV for everything else. Although, they usually also own a laptop for when a computer is required
"I prefer jovial" would've become the goto rainbow capitalist phrase
Could you go a year without a new certification, interview, award, or promotion and be OK with yourself for it?
Yes. Easily. My job isnt my whole life, as long as I feel good about the work I did over the year, I see no reason to change.
Would you think about a colleague, direct report, friend, or spouse differently for doing so?
No. Absolutely not. In fact, I'd be more worried that they'll burn out if all they think about is this shit, and tell them to get a hobby that isn't related to their job so that they can direct that energy somewhere other than getting pieces of paper that say "I can job good"
I think it's a bit more hopeful than that(America is still fucked short term, but humanity might be better off long term). Throughout history, people have been misinformed idiots that don't think critically. It's just that prior to about 2008, people didn't really have access to the deluge of information that is social media and we're still trying to figure that out.
The reason misinformation on social media works so well is that people want to learn things, and if someone tells them a believable enough lie, they'll take that as fact doing only minimal checks(eg: my friend whom I trust shared this article saying that it's the Mexican's fault I see so many homeless people, so it must be true).
Stuff like this has happened throughout history. People published absolutely insane things in books and presented them as fact for hundreds of years, and it set back things like science and medicine for equivalently long, as people didn't fact check things then either.
The fact that people are already hammering on about trying to fact check social media means that people are educated enough now to start, and we as a species just need another small push in that direction
It's bad practice to do it, but it makes it especially easy for end users who already trust both the source and the script.
On the flip side, you can also just download the script from the site without piping it directly to bash if you want to review what it's going to do before you run it.
Shit. Yes, you're right.
I'm curious of some math. So let's look at Fireball as a spell.
Fireball at 3rd level in 5e does 8d6 of damage in a 20 foot radius, with half-damage on a dex save. Then, each higher level gives it an extra 1d6 damage.
Two base fireballs is 16d6 while a 9th level fireball is only 14d6 so obviously the sorcerer can do more damage total, but the wizard only takes one round to cast theirs, while the sorcerer takes two.
If the wizard casts their fireballs in decending order of power, then its:
14d6+13d6+2(12d6)+2(11d6)+3(10d6)+3(9d6)+4(8d6)
Mapping that to rounds looks like this:
We can see on this chart that it takes the sorcerer 21 rounds to roll more dice than the wizard does at 16 after expending all spell slots.
Ergo, Wizard is better if combat is less than ~~17 rounds~~ 21 rounds
Sure, but if I only cared about nutrition I would get that all in pill form, and then get my calories through fats and oils to have a perfectly balanced diet.
Mushrooms taste good and that is reason enough to want to eat them.
I honestly prefer Valve's method. You as a consumer should be reading what you're buying before you purchase anyway, and you can still use their refund system if you somehow missed the warning.
Removing unfinished games from the storefront just increases the amount of lost media out there. These projects should be available for as long as possible simply for archival reasons.
Just wait. In 3 days you're going to need that null modem cable and it's going to ruin you.
It's probably the other way around. I can see him saying that paywalled subreddits won't have their data mined for LLMs so if you want to keep your content out of that mill, you better pay up.
I've got some real garbage here
Kind of. There is one punctuation tell that you can typically use to tell if someone is older, and thats if they use ellipsis to separate thoughts rather than line breaks in informal settings.
Back in the day when you were writing on paper, space was a limited resource, so people that are more used to that will separate ideas with a '...' rather than starting a new paragraph because you can fit more text into a smaller footprint.
Come the turn of the millennium, digital writing became the norm and people that grew up surrounded by computers tend to use line breaks instead because space is not limited in the same way anymore.
