  • Nah it's actually decent.

    Then again I didn't get the cowboy bebop hate either. It was okay? Like not OMFG THIS IS THE GREATEST SHOW OF ALL TIME, but it wasn't as shit as people claim it was. I fairly enjoyed the show, even after rewatching the anime right before.

    One Piece actually captures the flow and the mood of the anime. It is over the top, like the anime, but realistically toned down so it doesn't seem like it's trying too hard. The pace is good and the changes to the story seem coherent to adapting as an live action and for people who have heard of One Piece but never really got into it. The dialogues aren't literate master pieces but they really do not need to be. The special effects sometimes look a bit weird but they didn't bother me too much.

  • Can you drive a manual transmission?
  • 30, german, yes I can, no I do not. I drive a hybrid, so no manual transmission.

  • What is your "inexpensive" hobby that turned out to be expensive/ you gradually invested lots of money into?
    • Speed Cubing
    • Aggressive Inline Skating
    • Magic The Gathering
    • Misc. Video Games
    • Self Hosting
    • Historical European Martial Arts (Swordfighting with a Longsword especially)

    Those are the ones for me. Yeah turned 30 this year as well. No Autism (probably) but have ADHD.

    Programming is my job, so I don't define that as a hobby 😅

  • What is your "inexpensive" hobby that turned out to be expensive/ you gradually invested lots of money into?
  • I personally love the feel of the MoYu RS3M MagLev. And I think it was like 15 bucks.

    And don't be afraid to go to chinese distributors like ziicube.com Saves a lot of money by going directly to the source and buying in bulk if you can, to alleviate shipping cost.

  • Miniaturule
  • Game itself is a ton of fun. If you and your friends just want to learn the game you can just print out the cards, no problem. Or if you want realTM cards you can get a starter kit with 2*60 card decks for about 10-15$ from your local game store. (Or amazon if you are in a remote area with no Game Stores.) They are not the best decks, but they are balanced to each other and the cards are simple enough for new players to navigate.

    Better Magic Cards do mostly 2 or 3 things at once and can combo with others or are just great by themselves. Not that worse Magic Cards can't combo or anything, they just need more setup or can be a bit niche in their usefulness.

  • How do cows learn about current events?
  • I thought they get into the hay of things.

  • Is there a way to run old bare metal hardware on LAN for a dedicated computing task like AI?
  • Seems like avoiding context switching and all the overhead associated would make a big difference when pretty much everything in cache is critical data.

    It's not. Like the commenter above said: It's a fraction of the task at hand. Especially when you design the rest of the system to run only if necessary. Context Switches are what? like 50 CPU Cycles? Store Registers, Store TCB, Load other TCB and load other register states jump back to PC. Maybe some other OS Shenanigans, but that's basically it.

    Now Imagine complex calculations on a 25-Dimensional Matrix.

  • Final Fantasy 16 sales did not meet high expectations, says Square Enix president
  • Actual Good Hardware for a reasonable price. Or gimmick control schemes like the ps vita, Wii (U) or occasionally the Switch. I loved the first "The World Ends With You" on the NDS, tried emulating it, but the control scheme without a touch screen and the physical buttons are so weird, I bought a 3DS to relive that masterpiece since my DS Lite died.

  • Final Fantasy 16 sales did not meet high expectations, says Square Enix president
  • Also only releasing on one console is a relict of the past and misses out on so many sales.

    We have the technology to compile to every current gen console + pc with the right engines. Square should release their games for all consoles at once.

  • Sounds great in theory
  • There's some things called software architecture, requirement engineering and software design. More dev teams should try this.

  • Exemployees of a company, what was your "fuck this shit I'm out moment"?
  • When my then senior dev left and made his own company and asked me if I'm willing to go on a bumpy ride with him.

    I'm currently Employee Number 3 (the other 2 before me beeing the owners) and am happier than in any other odd job I had.

    The company we left doesn't really look that good right now, but they are backed by a gigantic mother company.

  • Diogenes is the most based person who ever existed, fight me
  • I think those jokes weren't MEANT to be.

    But since I also struggle sometimes with my dad jokes, here's an upvote.

  • Diogenes is the most based person who ever existed, fight me
  • People referred to diogenes as a dog as a form of insult, but diogenes was like "YOU KNOW WHAT FUCKERS? THAT SHOE FUCKING FITS." and then he called himself "Diogenes the dog".

    As you could maybe tell I may have paraphrased a bit. But who knows, I don't speak old greek. I had latin in school.

  • Null terminator
  • Always leave it to the actual users to find any bugs you didn't think of, lol.

  • I like the web app more.
  • So much this.
    I'd rather give the 20$ to my fav instances, than to an optional app.

  • I like the web app more.
  • 20$ can be a lot in different countries. 20$ gave me a up to a week of food when I was studying.

  • On a ferry on Lake Constance, Germany
  • Thanks! I'm not really a photographer and this was done by my cellphone, but I really liked how it turned out. It was much more stunning in reality though. 😅

  • On a ferry on Lake Constance, Germany
  • This was the Car ferry from Konstanz to Meersburg. I have the privilege to commute on this ferry every morning and afternoon.

    I'll try to capture a clear day when you can see the Alps in the distance.

  • I download G HUB while my VPN set to JP and it downloaded Logicool instead of Logitech
  • I had trouble with my Logi G935 Headset. Whenever I muted myself by flipping the mic up, I couldn't unmute ever again. Had to replug the receiver. Once I uninstalled G-Hub I noticed the mic immediately unmuting. Now it works without any problems.

    I could even reactivate the Virtual Surround Sound by installing the respective audio software (DTS:X Headphones iirc).

    Since then I have migrated to a dedicated Wired Headphone/Microphone Setup, which works flawlessly (and sounds way better).

  • Today i installed arch linux for the first time
  • I self host some stuff, because I dislike that I'm buying only the rights to consume certain kinds of e-media, instead of buying the e-media itself. So I make us of the consumer rights laws in europe and make a decrypted personal copy and stream it myself from my home server (an outdated laptop)
