Man I love factorio’s art, had no idea people thought it was bad. Maybe at release. But there’s alot of attention to detail in the sprites, even the trees sway gently in the breeze. You don’t see that often in other games of a similar style.

Seems like a really roundabout way to do this, surely a unit test (no pun intended) would’ve been a better solution?

Westerners say ‘Jesus Christ’ in terrible situations too, it’s used in a similar way.

There are a tonne of apartment balconies that are just afterthoughts by the developer though. I see plenty that are narrow to the point of being useless, or 30 floors up with no enclosed overhang which just generally feels kinda terrifying.

I can second bioinformatics if you have the aptitude for biology and IT, the pay can be 10-20k higher than a similar wet lab science job. But technically the skills you have could get you paid more in pure IT (science generally pays less). Demand is high, so the barrier to entry is generally lower (no hard requirements for phd, only a bachelors minimum or work experience in a similar field). Less physical labour too. Downside is that team sizes are usually small so you’ll be doing alot of multitasking.

Yea, talk about overcomplicating a simple task.

It really puts your suspension of disbelief to the test, and all the characters are terrible. I actually thought the netflix show was better than the book because the characters were alot more relatable.

Or uh, idk, tax them properly and you achieve the same outcome without any killing.

Not that it’d ever happen though.

I love using Wednesdays to clear leave (I know, not the best day in terms of utility for holidays and stuff) as you essentially create a new Friday. Work is so much more bearable.

I mean it’s still unique to the US. Plenty of other, poorer countries have better healthcare.

Have you heard of our lord and saviour rclone?

I haven’t gone back to rsync in a long time.

Nah you gotta alias ls -a to la for more efficiency.

Yea, do it to fill your resume with some good points but once you’re not learning anything new it’s time to leave.

Nah your boss is just getting you to work beyond what you’re paid to do.

Honestly I liked it initially but it got boring quickly, just generally the same pattern of runs.

I guess so, but in my head every body has feet so the supply has to be high, compared to having the skill to draw furry stuff

I use dust all the time at work, it’s fantastic.

Surely this kind of market is oversaturated?

I use antenna pod which is able to download as well, which seems to suggest that at some point the ads get fixed. Also they’re very consistent for me, enough that I can usually cut off the first 30 seconds of ads for certain podcasts (there’s a function to skip predefined sections).

Probably too small of an audience but I’m amazed that someone hasn’t released a podcast app that has sponsorblock. Podcast ads are so predictable I’d imagine an ML model would have no issue detecting them.
