Used it to explain stuff during my full stack bootcamp. It is immensely helpful when you have an idea of what you don’t know but are unsure what question you need to ask to find the answer. Even better when you know what function you need from a different language but don’t know what it’s called and has some esoteric name you cba to remember.

If a libraries docs are indexed it also helps quickly find the method you need to implement.

LLMs will likely always have a place as a supporting technology during and after education.

Thats if you set the toaster to anything above 3

Problem is, that headline is not out of reach because “slavery was good for black people” HAS BEEN SAID BY DESANTIS

While eating lunch I remembered network topologies. I am using Syncthing in a Spoke network. The hub knows all endpoints. Each endpoint knows the hub, but doesn’t know there are other endpoints.

I have had a mesh setup end up with one device throwing old files across the entire mesh and it took me an entire hour to fix and get replication working correctly again. So right now I have all devices connecting to my plex server only, no mesh. If a device updates, it goes to my server then propagates to my other devices.

This lets every device be able to update a file or pull back updates. Because the plex server is the sole adjudicator of changes, I dont have to deal with any file mismatches or keep a single source as read-only.

syncthing is what I use to replicate projects, notes, etc between my linux desktop, macbook, ipad and cell phone.

Everything routes into my plex server so I have one authoritative register of changes. If all you want is to tell a program “backup this folder”, can’t get much more straightforward than syncthing

No one “called it”. Pretending always-online, server sided games will “always exist” is akin to saying the sun didn’t set because your eyes were closed.

If profitable MMOs being shuttered wasn’t the canary in the coal mine then you have been blind for a long, long time.

whoa now, don’t take away Elite:Dangerous one claim to fame. They have an entire milky way of procedurally generated planets with no POIs!

Yep, the linux driver issue is either crash on 535 or get a rock solid 26-31 FPS on 525 irrespective of settings with frame timings being so smooth you get a more pleasant experience chewing sand.

which is hilarious because the game plays better on a steam deck than on my 3080

I would wager yes as Starfield is currently unplayable on Linux with an nvidia gpu.

per 2022? A little over $58k, so definitely not bananas

I went to a public high school in the renaissance of MySpace and Angelfire and Geocities. My Current Events class was entirely breaking down political speech and recognizing the undercurrents. World History was as much about what happened but also how the situation developed, including a stint on understanding modern journalism through the development of Yellow Journalism.

Public school can do exceptionally well if it’s actually funded like it’s supposed to be.

I’ve always viewed Digital Delixe thru the lens of a collectors edition without the $200 statue. Horse armor is how we got to $20 for a skin in Overwatch. They aren’t entirely unrelated but are genuinely different product categories.

Funny part is, an MMO has already died because of this premise. EverQuest NEXT was going to use a foundational system called Storybricks that would generate a living story for the world, in real time, using AI for the npcs, quests, zone events. That worked so well that the MMO half of EQN got cancelled and turned into a weird, plot based, EQ styled version of Minecraft that never got to full release.
