This is the actual problem. Boomer voters (who are pathologically trapped in adolescence; look at how they projected views of eternal childhood onto Millennials) would only feel safe with the last of the ancient preceeding generation. “Save us elder daddies, we have no minds to think but can’t trust the ‘children’ younger than us to know anything!”
Oh yeah, my b, thanks for the correction
Oh for the names?
Ogre Tactics is the first one, a series of earlier tactical games (started on the snes maybe?)
Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun is the other. It’s actually more like the Commandos games, a kind of overhead team stealth sim.
And I was just joking but if you’re on a tictac roll please, by all means, help yourself!
Lol, I love this gimmick! Next up, enormous Ogre Tictacs? Perhaps Shadow Tictacs: Mints of the Shogun?
It was full of fresh ideas when it first came out, like a minty cool breeze
Someone shared this on Mastodon so I’ll just repost my thoughts from there. (Bonus for Lemmy, I was forced to squeeze all my thoughts into 500 characters, so this is the most succinct I’ve been on this site!)
Pretty incredible how little people seem to understand these. For one thing, every method other than waterfall is a subtype of agile methodology. The major distinction is that waterfall has a series of phases from design through building, testing, and delivery that attempts to plan the whole project up front. Agile methods focus on smaller iteration cycles with frequent, partial deliverables.
Something like kanban is designed for continuous delivery: we want to go to mars weekly.
LEAN development is a scam though, that one is accurate.

Absolutely. Pandemic “inflation” threw all kinds of prices too high and nothing is coming back down because most industries are so small that they’re all essentially oligarchies now.
I am dead certain that the pandemic has actually put the US into a hard recession which the Fed has been covering up with various tricks. I’m pretty sure that after the presidential election, whichever way it goes, the economy is going to tank.
Seems like the feature freeze for 4.3 is still in effect. I imagine they won’t merge it in until they start compiling features for the next build. Good for them though, the feature they paid for is finally coming!
I can pretty rarely get under $30 for just myself ($50 for two i consider quite the deal now) and we live in a city with many options, and most places i would order from are about a 10 minute drive. I’m not saying it’s right or good, just that the prices you see are in line with what I’ve been seeing. Food is quite a bit more expensive right now.
Everybody… Get! In! Line!
It’s incredible how normalized straight up bribery is in America. “Out-raised” is such an evil way to describe how one billionaire can outmatch the combined contributions of literary millions of people. Pretend democracy.
All software is political. What a terrible opinion. If you are security minded, don’t rely on any software you don’t control the source of and haven’t fully vetted. Otherwise whoever developes that code has a back door into your system regardless of what opinions they post on Twitter.
Moreover, people have rights to the code they write. If I decide that my numeric library shouldn’t be used in missile guidance systems I have a right to demand that. I’ll be ignored, and so I think a person then should be expected to escalate.
Life is political, and there’s no standing neutrally still on a planet rapidly spinning towards revolutionary restructuring.
I think if I saw a statue of a cat just chilling, I’d get the vibe. Humans have been entertained by animals doing human-like stuff since we first developed the brains to recognize it.
I feel like this has truly earned a “bazinga!”
Ah Texas, where children can’t make decisions or be held accountable in any way, unless they’re brown skinned and can be accused of a crime, then they must he tried as adults and sentenced to life as an imprisoned slave.
Out past the planets is the heliopause, the final boundary between the solar system and interstellar space. Voyager discovered it, but other probes have confirmed it. The radiation and particles emitted by the sun create a pressurized bubble around it, where plasma (energized particles, mostly hydrogen) is much denser than past the heliopause. Cosmic rays are more prevalent outside it.
I’ve heard it compared to the empty zone around where a sink faucet first hits, creating a little “wall” of water around it as the splashing water pushes back the standing water.
“Empty” space is anything but. There’s tons of particles and energy flying though it, just not as dense.
Valtonen says that this has made the CPU the weakest link in computing in recent years.
This is contrary to everything I know as a programmer currently. CPU is fast and excess cores still go underutilized because efficient paralell programming is a capital H Hard problem.
The weakest link in computing is RAM, which is why CPUs have 3 layers of caches, to try and optimize the most use out of the bottleneck memory BUS. Whole software architectures are modeled around optimizing cache efficiency.
I’m not sure I understand how just adding a more cores as a coprocesssor (not even a floating-point optimized unit which GPUs already are) will boost performance so much. Unless the thing can magically schedule single-threaded apps as parallel.
Even then, it feels like market momentum is already behind TPUs and “ai-enhancement” boards as the next required daughter boards after GPUs.
Alright fellow queers, so what are celebrating next month? My top vote is Gluttony, as always, but I do also vibe with Sloth Month? Who couldn’t use a little r&r after all that pride?
