Our group played this system for a short bit. We loved the social combat system and the pooled resources. A good DM can absolutely make it feel like a Star Trek episode. Our problem with the system, is that you have to play the lawfull good guys for it to work well; just like a Star Trek episode. Our group likes to play morally grey.
But I love coding at work?!
The problem is that every living entity in a 10 kilometer radius around me, seems to be hellbent on getting me to do anything but coding. Refining work estimates, fixing badge access rights, fixing a driver issue, telling people that you cannot do 1000 things at the same time, teaching the new developer how shit (doesn’t) works, mangling Jenkins into a functional state again, explaning that thing I did a year ago but is only now used (it was very high prio a year ago), writing documentation that noboby ever reads, progress meetings, specialty group meetings, knowledge sharing meetings, company wide meetings, etc.
Jup. They do that. After an edition of the challenge where someone fainted and crashed due to the heat, they also added regulations for airflow. It might be hot outside-air, but that is still way better than inside-over air.
That would be like Mickey Mouse having a pet mouse, or Donald Duck feeding the ducks in the park, or Goofy having a pet dog named Pluto.
Awww mannn. Stupid rules.
I thought ghost busting was Beverly’s thing?
I used to put that one in the same category as the man-in-suit gorn from TOS: budget/tech restrictions. But even in the latest SNW episode, we see someone waking up on a piece of wreckage with gravity still perfectly fine, while also getting several zero gravity scenes in the same episode.
That’s a whole new level of poop knife.
Somehow I’m ok with the writers not finding a lore explenation for that problem. I don’t really want to know how every single alien wipes its ass.
But where and when is the crew supposed to go then? I don’t remember a single episode where someone mentioned they were off to drop some logs.
Heck, imagine being a species that does this the normal way, dropping that unit like a real warrior. Not getting those breaks will put a constipated look on your face all the time!
At least a good diff tool will ignore whitespace diffs.
I also can’t figure out why their selection is what it is. But Thales is not really 1 company. Tacticos is developed by the Dutch branch (note that the location of this job is Hengelo), which means it is treated as a Dutch company for export control purposes, not a French one.
My guess would be that they have existing export contracts for new versions of Tacticos to these countries.
Based on screenshots and the publisher, it is safe to say that they are using the Stellaris engine for this. Which does not really have traditional turns. Think RTS with lots of pauzing. The engine is also capable of exploding planets already.
Which is have been able to use since we switched to C++17 … a couple of months ago.
I hate this in C++ when it does this with parameters of an overidden function. I don’t need that specific parameter, but if I omit the variable name, I reduce readability.
Requesting a website is like sending a letter. You have to put the adres on the letter, or the post office (your ISP) won’t know where to send the request.
DNS is like a phonebook, but for domain names. It is used to look up the adres you put on the letters you send (websites you visit). Using a custom DNS means that your ISP cannot block websites by omitting them from the phonebook. Adguard uses the same ability of omitting domain names to block ads.
Consider: https://9gag.com/123 A DNS translates “9gag.com” to an internet protocol adres. It is never told that you will use https, or that you request “/123” from 9gag.com
What you do on a website (request “/123”) is always hidden from your ISP IF AND ONLY IF the website uses https. Https puts the details of your request inside the envelope, instead of right next to the adres.
I wonder if /r/onlyfans will swap their content also.
The worst thing is: you can’t even put an int in a json file. Only doubles. For most people that is fine, since a double can function as a 32 bit int. But not when you are using 64 bit identifiers or timestamps.
