- Comment on Resident Evil Requiem currently peaking at over 300,000 players on Steam 1 day ago:
And it was the best Resident Evil for a very long time. Honestly, being the best can cut both ways. I’ve avoided buying remakes for some of my favorite games because “I’ve already played the campaign 5 times, am I really gonna pay $60 to play it a 6th?”

Remakes will never be as popular as new games.

Basically every winter sport has the same story: Your parents are millionaires and can affort to regularly take expensive trips to resorts. Gear, lessons, and any other fees are all taken care of from the time you were 4.
Most summer sports have many stories about poor athletes making a name for themselves and getting traction. That’s possible when the upfront costs are a soccer ball and shoes, not a custom-tuned piece of modern engineering and 5 accessories.

I love this story because it’s obvious your son asked this during the several minute long loading screen. No matter what year it is, Bethesda games take at least a minute to load.

Same, the game was dead to me even before I actually watched the trailer or got a chance to try it out. Kernel level anti cheat and/or TPM 2.0 are deal breakers no matter what.

Jupyter notebook isn’t a language, it’s a tool for running interactive sessions, in principle with any language. I’m fairly certain people run Julia in Jupyter Notebooks.
As for the advantages of Julia versus Python, arrays are native types, so they interface better across the entire language. It’s also shockingly fast in comparison, it compiles the code at runtime, so the longer the program runs, the faster it is.
If there is a use-case for R that Julia or Python can’t do, I haven’t seen it. I personally don’t see the point of writing code in R when the Python and Julia are more broadly useful to learn.

This is actually a super fun concept. Make sure the sign up is super long, several pages, multi-paragraph replies expected for general admission. Make sure there’s a VSCode sign up API and extension. Host the conference now, but on the promise that you’ll be able to acquire props and supplies for it at a later date, at least 1 year out.

- Comment on The cops pay Anon a visit 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, refusing a warrant is definitely a separate crime from whatever they’re looking for on the computer. If something like this happens, the only way to protect yourself from a warrant is to fully delete everything on your computer. They can’t arrest you for not handing over something that doesn’t exist. The cops know this though, which is why they probably wouldn’t give you that kind of warning without having a warrant ready to go, which is because this story is fake.

This is why the governor’s policy will work well. It let’s drivers stay on the road until they’ve been caught with many infractions. It’s a very different story when you take someone’s license away after a few speeding tickets versus taking their license away after a few speeding tickets, then several months of well-documented continued speeding incidents every time they drove. Losing your license has serious consequences in modern society, but my sympathy for dangerous drivers has a limit.

I recently had a hard time explaining to a coworker that the “Increase number of decimals” button in Excel doesn’t work if you already exported to a CSV with only a decimal of precision. It worked on their end because they had the excel file, but I had the CSV. I managed to come up with a clever and innovative solution to the problem though; I gave up and worked on something else.

That’s a very serious crime though. If you get pulled over without a license, it’s a several thousand dollar fine.

There used to be an r/EmreMains when the name first appeared in lore. That must have been almost 5 years ago, and now they’ve finally released the hero. I don’t know what they expected, but I’d figure that almost everyone who was there previously has moved on, I certainly have.

- Comment on Do it for your country's debt! 3 weeks ago:
It’s beautifully wrong on so many levels.
- Increasing GDP doesn’t address the debt crisis.
- The debt is WAY bigger than 3 trillion
- As long as Trump is in office, the debt will grow, and nothing can be done to change that.

I think they keep making Blu Ray cases worse to force you to streaming. Also, Blu Ray players, seems like the only functional Blu Ray player is a PS5 now.

I have a software repo with multiple files that are over 5000 lines, IG wouldn’t fit on 10 monitors. I may concede my predicesors who made it this way have a mental illness, but I have to get work done, and it requires reading that file on an appropriately large monitor.

The fact that one seat is up is even worse. Imagine you’re sitting down pooping and someone comes up and pees standing up with their ass in your face.

- Comment on Pet Peeves with Games? 1 month ago:
When you first start playing, you should be in a room that’s moderately graphically intense and you can stand there indefinitely doing nothing. I need some time to dial in my graphics settings and controls. I hate when a game immediately drops you into a combat situation and I’m joining the action 5 seconds at a time as I twiddle with settings.

It’s not wrong to say that population is the driving problem. Do you think indigenous people ever coexisted with their ecosystem at the population density we’re at now?

One of the reasons they’re popular is they’re a very short term high, so you can still drive home without issue. The same can’t be said about weed.
