Carrier phone - bad
Finding the love of your life first try - great
Sprite from McDonalds - the best sprite there is
VSCode integrated terminal - honestly very good
What's your point? -
Aaaand applied. Wish me luck! This would more than double my salary.
-
Well this is up my alley, actually.
-
Pour one out for another victim of this abandonware
-
@wojtek322 aliases are dead common in ETL, less common but still commonplace in regular application use. It’s a code smell, well-built applications might have none at all.
-
The only stat that doesn’t completely knock me on my ass is the 11 joins. The rest are absolutely unbelievable.
-
I think @Linuxxx attended one somewhere around 2018
-
Real answer: it's a design pattern. Separation of concerns. Back in the days of classic PHP and ASP, logic inside/ alongside the UI code turned into the ugliest code of all time. It was degrading to maintain. Inhumane.
REAL answer: do you mix your steak and beer together when you have dinner? Sure, they end up in the same place eventually, but you wouldn't want to eat beer-soaked steak or drink steaky beer. -
I might have one of the eldest still active accounts. I won’t go anywhere unless the platform itself does.

See you back in VSCode in two weeks

@Demolishun to be fair my main dev box was Linux and my current one was Windows so I was fighting with the SQL client I had to freshly install.
-
Pewds is so annoying. Why do people like him so much?
-
@Demolishun I don't fully understand your comment, but to clarify: calling an Asian person "yellow" is a pretty clearly racist thing in America, not sure where else, even though calling black people "black" isn't really racist, calling Asians "yellow" certainly is.
Interestingly, as far as I can tell, the only reason behind that discrepancy is because black people accepted the term to describe themselves, but Asian people rejected it. -
If they decide to talk to you, just hold your chin up high and address the grievances you have with your management like a man. You can also try sheepishly sucking their balls and hoping not to get fired but only one of the two options leaves you with your dignity while the other might let you keep your job but now you’re their bitch for a few months.

And I haven’t been able to post images for like a month
-
@iiii sorry I guess I’m just sick of people fucking I’m native UIs so bad that it makes me wish they could just import bootstrap and give me something at least functional
-
SmartFTP actually does look relatively nice. I think it's Qt-based. Haven't tried it for myself - just seen screenshots.
-
You're a disgrace to king and country, FinBoss
-
@Demolishun yup. I bought the domain name for my IRL last name and later on realized it would be a cool idea to be john@smith.com (example)
I researched how to set up an SMTP server like that and one of the articles I read basically begged me not to for this reason. I’ll see if I can find it. -
@jestdotty misconfigured SMTP servers are everywhere and just forwards maliciously formatted messages because they are configured insecurely. It’s the #1 reason for email spam. That’s why they are usually routed through things like school servers if you trace it back
-
People running their own SMTP servers and not knowing how SMTP works is the reason I get so much spam messages.
-
@tosensei yeah but like 75% of the worlds devs are in west coast America and Germany so
-
@lorentz semver might be a bad choice for a game like MC, but the game is a platform in and of itself. People rely on the mechanics of the game like devs rely on the API of a library.
Major features like terrain gen, redstone logic, entity logic, etc. are pretty important to a minor but still vocal and important part of the community.
MC Java edition is like an intro to game dev. People have made fully featured games entirely within the game itself.
That's why I rant about compatibility. It should always be safe to upgrade a patch version. It should only really be used to fix issues within the game.
This is, to my knowledge, the first time they've so boldly screwed with game fundamentals in a patch version. -
@lorentz I usually play 1.8.9 because it’s really snappy.
When world generation changes, a lot of players simply create a new world.
My world is relatively new already so ungenerated chunks are near my base.
Which means I get this shitty meshing of new and old terrain within view distance of my base :( -
@lorentz yeah, that's been a part of Minecraft culture for a while. That's why it's one of the only major games to have a version selector in it's vanilla launcher.
-
@lorentz I don't give a shit if it's guaranteed or not! A PATCH version of the game shouldn't modify terrain generation! That's fucked, and rant I shall do.
-
@BordedDev nah didn't catch the news I guess
-
My best guess is the new generation system messes up on small and especially handwritten text because there's not enough context (it generates the image pixel by pixel, left to right) for it to understand what itself is doing. So the text gets garbled.
-
Revisiting this because of a notification, I didn't notice the mug...
I wonder what the fuck is going on here because supposedly the reason the text generation works now is due to a different method of image generation.
So how come the previous issue is present here? How does that make sense.
