I find myself saying this one a lot. When I feel like I’m putting in effort and the other person won’t meet me in the middle something like this always seems to slip out, but I hate how passive aggressive it is.
Reframing it so ‘the problem’ is the problem rather than the person is a good idea. Helps with communication, and if it can be internalized, it seems like a better way to think about the conflict too.
I think everything’s delayed, rather than weekly releases, but I’m not 100% sure. Either way, in theory this gives them more time to catch any major bugs and hold those packages, though in practice I don’t believe that happens much at all considering how short the delay is.
You make some good points - I don’t think anyone can reasonably argue linux is in a state where a ‘regular’ user will find it more productive than windows. But, statements like these make as many assumptions about an individual’s use case and workflow as saying ‘everyone should use linux because xyz’:
If you live in a bubble where you don’t have to collaborate with anyone else
There are annoyances from time to time, sure, but they’re way fewer and simpler to deal with than the hoops you’ve to go through to get a minimal and viable/productive desktop experience on Linux
If you buy a Windows license and spend the time you would’ve spent dealing with Linux compatibility issues doing your actual job you’ll, most likely, get a better ROI.
Again, it’s certainly not reasonable to say linux is universally (or even generally) better for productivity. But neither is it reasonable to say it always isn’t. Operating systems are tools, which one to use depends entirely on the situation.
The biggest reason is instability - packages in its main repo are held back two weeks, while the same isn’t true of anything from the AUR, meaning potential dependency version mismatch. It’s kinda rare for this to be an issue, but it happens enough to make it a subpar choice for long-term usage. More info here
Error 404: Costume Not Found is a classic.
Seinfeld has an arc where Seinfeld writes a show about his own life, aka the show we’re watching. clip
Quality of output depends a lot on how common the code is in its training data. I would guess it’d be best at something like Python, with its wealth of teaching materials and examples out there.
The irony of this line from the post is particularly amusing:
your willingness to talk about things you could not possibly have all the information about this confidently, and with so little tact, is a sign of inexperience.
Titles like this annoy me. If you have something interesting to say - which is the case here - say what it is. No need to obfuscate the topic. It wastes time for everyone.
Anyway, it’s kinda hilarious that the only way to make a proper circle in PDFs is with line caps. What a bizarre format. I hope it’s succeeded by something better sooner rather than later, I can’t think of any time they haven’t been a pain to work with.
I’m surprised there aren’t more distros that come packaged with it. If someone’s used a graphical text editor in the past decade, then they know how to use micro. The only distro I know of that has it by default is Garuda.
For some reason this movie never quite worked for me. It’s the exact sort of movie I usually love, and no doubt many of my favorite movies were inspired by it, but there’s something about the characters and interactions that makes it hard for me to connect. The mood of it is great though.
6/10. Never seen the show lol.
I was referring to the unnecessary header text on the sidebar, squeezing everything else up there. I am aware there are different display modes lol
Well the dark mode screenshot makes less efficient use of space so it must be the modern one.
Also Jim Carrey in The Truman Show, and Will Ferrell in Stranger Than Fiction!
Wow, these are incredible! I wish actual movie posters were designed more like this. So much meaning and flavor packed into them, they feel like representations of the movies rather than advertisements for them.
The Quiet Girl. Absolutely enthralling despite the slow pace and, well, quiet. One of my favorite movies of the past few years.
Great movie! As long as I can remember my family’s had it on VHS (then DVD), I must have seen it dozens of times over the years. Obviously I think it holds up lol but nice to hear it actually does.
Yes Man is my other favorite Jim Carrey movie, probably in part because he plays it somewhat serious too (though not as serious as Truman Show). It got middling reviews but I enjoyed it quite a bit - the comedy is a little more subtle than what you expect when you hear the premise and lead actor, but it works, and the romance elements are nice in it too. No masterpiece but worth a watch if you’re in the mood for something light and fun.
I don’t mean to imply anything magical about it, just thought I’d mention that it has some legitimate benefits beyond placebo for anyone unaware! The site linked above has all the information I was talking about, and cites the source studies too.
I was thinking the same thing - it’d be nice if they could just keep doing what they’re doing now since it’s great, but who knows, maybe this will lead to some other great films that otherwise never would have been made. If they can maintain their quality in the big budget space, there’s a relatively unfilled niche for popcorn flicks made with care and artistry.
Off the top of my head, Mad Max: Fury Road fits the description of ‘big budget, action, based on existing IP’ and I don’t think anyone would wish that hadn’t been made.
Maybe they will start producing garbage; it’s entirely possible. I’d rather have a little optimism and wait to hate until it actually happens though. It’d be awesome to see what passionate and talented filmmakers like the Daniels would do with both a big budget and the creative freedom A24 has historically offered.
