I’d recommend getting to grips with the fundamentals of python or JavaScript first before jumping in but Godot is a great open source tool for picking up some gamedev after you are used to the basics.

I saw Keanu Reeves at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

Shh we’re trying to circlejerk here! Keep your voice of reason down and grab some lotion

I tend to put work dir under documents but yeah would be the same having a dev or local dir for code.

Does seem like being funny helps with running for president these days

These people should be hung, drawn and quartered

Killzone on PS2 was the first game I played that wasn’t inverted and it took me several hours to figure out why aiming was so hard

If you just imagine that the right stick is their neck you don’t need to postulate a Parasaurolophus horn

I care more about the vertical inversion than the horizontal one. Not certain why. Have played with horizontal inversion on before and it didn’t bother me much after a minute or two.

Her name is Jeanie though, which I’d pronounce differently to Jenny… unless it’s one of those awful new age spellings of a classic name.

Fwiw Jennifer is a fine name and people can figure out the best way to shorten it for their circumstances. Maybe living in a rural community with a lot of donkeys would affect it.

Yes, both of those and their sequels - Future Perfect and Perfect Dark - were by far the most played FPS games for me as a kid.

It’s more like the analogue stick is representing your characters neck. IRL you pull your neck down to look up, and vice versa.

Last time I used one, I was trying to get help writing a custom naming strategy for a Java ObjectMapper. Mostly written python in my career so just needed the broad strokes of it to be filled in.

It gave me some example code that looked plausible but in actuality was the exact inverse of how you are supposed to implement it. Took me like a day and a half to debug it; reckon I could have written it in an afternoon by going straight to the documentation.

Have any other devs tried using LLMs for work? They’ve been borderline useless for me.

Also the notion of creating a generation of devs who have no idea what they are writing and no practice of resolving problems “manually” seems insanely dumb.

Not a baby name but I worked with a devops engineer who had dyslexia so all of our IaC variable names had misspellings in them. We just lived with it because it would have been expensive to teardown the resources and reprovision them with the correct spellings.

You pretty much need networkmanager for eduroam. If you are a wpa_supplicant enthusiast you need to swallow your pride. Otherwise no issues with using linux for higher education.

Learning Latex for your dissertation will make referencing easier, as an aside.

I think they deliberately mess with the formatting text in exported to “word doc” format files from LibreOffice too.

It’s very good but M$ make every attempt to avoid making it interoperable with Word
