People complaining about the slop - what about the atrocious text/bg contrast? Burning my eyes out faster than a B300 ever could

I tried to play NV vanilla a few months ago and ran into multiple of these within the first couple hours. Never went back

As someone who played Rust and had to remove it from my steam account because of how much I loved it - can you elaborate?

I have a great aunt who lives in Tonga - my Grandma spoke to her a couple days ago. Apparently people on the main Island (Tongatapu) are mainly fine - her main issue is a bunch of ash on her roof, which apparently is going to cost for $500 to get removed from local tradespeople.

New comment by BookPage in "New version of Apple-1 DIY kits start shipping"

BookPage — Tue, 15 Dec 2020 06:31:51 +0000

I bought Ben's kits and built the 8 bit breadboard computer. It was the most educational experience I've ever had learning computer architecture. I'd be lying if I said it wasn't a lot of work though and breadboards are fraught with issues.

The difference between this and the apple-1 though is that Ben's computer is effectively a third gen computer on breadboard, whereas the apple-1 is pure fourth gen. I guess the fair comparison is ben's 6502 kit.

BookPage — Mon, 16 Nov 2020 22:15:23 +0000

There's a lot of "annotations"[0] in sheet music which allow the performer to use their judgement for playing.

Sure you can extract these patterns from MIDI based on things like velocity curves, but by default raw MIDI won't tell you that.

Honestly I had an RTX Titan for home use for a while. Eventually I moved to just using a 2080 Super and it performed at nearly the same power for my models. If you don't need ALL the extra memory and have the space for a triple slot then the better value proposition by far for last gen seemed to be a good super.

BookPage — Tue, 22 Sep 2020 17:08:26 +0000

I think the fastest way to grow is to have your code reviewed. If you're not in a professional software setting then making a pull request to an active project with patient contributors will probably be your best bet. Find an open issue for k8s, docker(-cli), figure out how to fix it, open a PR and I would try to preface it with a "this is my first PR, I'm very open to critique" type of intro. With any lucky you will find someone who can gently (or maybe not so) nudge you in directions of better quality code.

Best of luck on your journey!

all I can say is that we have a 2 yr old and a 4.5 month old. I have no idea what we are going to do when my wife returns from mat leave to work. all options currently have high impact on both of our workable time. (we are > 13 hrs flight from any family)

This is awesome!!!! It would be cool if there were some binary releases, at least for the shooter example. I'm not sure if there's anything huge blocking that though?

Also I'm admittedly not rust-proficient yet but would the cargo run command be cross-platform dependent, or is this a windows-only thing right now?

I had a team where we always talked about our bus factor - how many of us it would take to be hit by a bus to royally screw the team. We also got nervous when too many of us shared an elevator together, hah.

In all seriousness though, knowledge silo'ing can be a nasty problem

New comment by BookPage in "What motivates the authors of video game walkthroughs and FAQs?"

BookPage — Tue, 08 Sep 2020 23:53:19 +0000

I used to LOVE reading GameFAQs walkthroughs for RPGs as a kid. The fact it was just a big text document made it super easy to hide in my "computer typing" classes too.

I'm kind of sad that the whole scene has largely slowed down, at least for modern games... Now you can just find video guides on any subsection of a game you're playing; or follow an IGN guide. I have huge respect for authors of the oldschool guides though.

BookPage — Fri, 14 Aug 2020 17:05:23 +0000

It would help if you defined exactly what type of issues you experienced. Packet loss? Early RSTs? Latency? Single AZ or cross AZ? Same for VPCs or NAT'd internet traffic?

You should take some tcpdumps and open a support case.

Yeah you're right it is. I was strongly considering just writing a bash script but I had a bunch of probabilistic stuff going on for using effects, so stuck with python.
