@3YearLetterman A rare miss, Coach, but you can't win em all.

I want Buffy posts off my feed

@steverockan @tanujDE3180 Lol

@tanujDE3180 It doesn’t matter cuz all my jobs be idempotent biiiiatch

Backend Interview Question: A cron job should run once at 2AM Today it ran twice. No manual trigger. No duplicate servers. No retries. What happened?

@glukianoff They could call it the Ministry of Truth

The Canadian government is reportedly considering legal action against citizens who spread “misinformation.” Which means government officials may soon get to define the truth, enforce the definition, and punish the people who fail the test. That is quite a job description.

Sinopse de A Odisseia: "Jason Bourne perdeu-se no mar por anos. Sua esposa, Mulher-Gato, encontra-se desolada e está sendo cobiçada pelo Batman. O filho de Bourne, Homem-Aranha, foi procurar o pai com a ajuda do Justiceiro".

I have had my Steam Machine for several days now. Quick review: - Absolutely stellar set up experience. Your grandma could do it. - SteamOS is easy to log in, navigate and play your games. Everything learned from the Steam Deck is showing. - Had one issue where 5.1 audio would cause a one second audio cutout every minute or so, but moved input from HDMI 4 to 3 on my HiSense U88N and it fixed it? I blame the TV. - Perf is good. I was a bit worried from a bit of the early reviews but all the games I threw at run great. Sure they aren't in 4k HIGH QUALITY, but they all run at 60fps or better with AMD FSR and medium/high settings. I was surprised getting 70+ fps in Diablo IV at 4k. - It's very quiet. I have it in my TV stand (as shown below) but I never hear it even when running very demanding games. Cooling seems to work out even in the cabinet with the door closed. - Everyone in my family wants a round on it, now its super easy to log into their Steam account and play their games on the TV! It's a shame the price is so high because of the RAM AI crisis, but this is still going to sell well. It's a solid package of good design and decent performance. If you want to play PC games on your TV, its a great option. Also the red face plate is the best one. Set the light to green for that watermelon summer feel!

We got you too

@notch What big endian platform are you targeting?

The ECMAScript specification says typed buffers are in platform endian. WebGPU specifies it expects little endian. An LLM butted in when I researched the best ways to deal with this, and it said "the consensus is to not worry about it". Good luck, vibe coders.

@edmundmcmillen Probably about the same time retail employees started greeting you by saying "Welcome in".

Example: “whenever I was a kid I cried a lot” or “whenever i had my first kiss I pissed myself”

@Noahpinion Disagree. TL;DR almost all examples of people changing their minds on important issues begin with a change in their *social* situation, which makes the new belief possible. a.co/d/03MXLuZ5

Yeah you can, that's the whole point of being reasonable

@QS_Arno Exactly!

@ZPostFacto Ahh, OK. Yeah, it'd be nice if those had different colors (one for "everyone"/"here", one for a role mention, and a third for your specific username mention), but...yeah, I got nothin'. 🙂

I really wish that apps like Slack and Discord would distinguish between: - somebody tagged everybody in the channel - somebody tagged YOU specifically

@Mauler2000 We use slack

@ZPostFacto Please tell me Valve doesn’t use slack 😂

@QS_Arno I meant all these red numbers.

@ZPostFacto I guess it depends on what you mean by "distinguish" in context, but...this is the context menu I get when I right-click on a server in Discord:

@JBSDC Who do you think is going to be answering / triaging those emails? AI.

Spent the last 10 mins asking Fable to find a political wood carving from the 30 Years War that I saw in an unremembered book 25 years ago. Fable has now drafted & sent emails inquiring about the wood carving to multiple museums in multiple languages. We're not ready for this.

@markgurman Seems like a liability nightmare, if there is any possibility that a child might be around and interact with it, like, ever.

NEW: OpenAI’s first product is a mobile, screen-free home smart speaker that a user can build a connection with like an AI companion. Amid Apple’s trade secret lawsuit, the iPhone maker has nothing like it on the market. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

@EricGorall @DougJBalloon Lol, yes the person with the unique name that makes him easily googlable and who has a ten year history of tweeting about videogame development and C++ is definitely the bot.

@ZPostFacto @DougJBalloon How to spot a bot? Notice they arent responding to the right audience (OP doesnt mention the President), and responds to something completely unrelated (OP not talking about anybodys accomplishments)

My kids have measles, I lost my job, and I have explosive diarrhea from a parasite that RFK Je. directed the CDC to stop monitoring. But at least now my county courthouse is flying the Confederate flag again.

@growing_daniel This job sucks ass

You’re listening to Sisyphus FM, the home of non-stop rock.

@HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN I will never forget 5th grade me and my buddy TJ Craig painstakingly copying down the save codes and reading it back, triple checking to make sure that we would not lose our precious progress.
