Something my friend told me is that there are 3 easy tells of an undercover cop:

  • Buff
  • Alone
  • Dresses very averagely (compared to the queer people around him)

If someone matches all 3 descriptors, it is likely they're a cop

Baltics -> Balkan. Baltics is Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. They are also preparing for the worst though it's just that Serbia isn't part of it

Disagree on the train part. Getting hit by a train is just getting crushed by gravity but sideways

For me it's not the time spent at the checkout that matters, it's the time spent waiting at the checkout. Also over here cashiers don't bag your items for you, so you have to do that anyway

Also also, they have these really handy hand scanners over here so I can already bag my items while I'm walking through the store, and then the only thing I have to do at self-checkout is hand in the scanner and pay for the groceries. That is genuinely a lot faster than normal cash register shenanigans.

I got taught that rule in my freshman year, but then my thesis advisor told me to stop doing that because "only old people write like that"

So I suppose academia is evolving (however you still aren't allowed to use first person speech)

Ok dus ik ben net naar het toilet geweest en er schiet me opeens een brandende vraag naar binnen: Hoe gebruiken jullie het woord "noch"? Ik heb het namelijk in meerdere vormen gezien en vroeg me af of er een correcte versie is.

De versies die ik eerder heb gezien zijn:

  • Ik heb het een noch het andere gedaan
  • Ik heb niet het een noch het andere gedaan
  • Ik heb niet het een noch niet het andere gedaan
  • (Ik heb het ene niet gedaan en het andere ook niet gedaan) (sommige mensen gebruiken het woord "noch" gewoon niet)

Ik ben persoonlijk voorstander van versie 2, aangezien het duidelijk een opsomming van ontkenningen aanduidt, maar ik vraag me af of er mensen zijn die er andere gedachtes over hebben

 

So today Unity announced changes in how they are going to monetize their game engine, and it is, rightfully might I add, poorly recieved Here is how much youtuber Dani would have to pay unity if they consider his games to gain over $200k in revenue Dani's hypothetical unity payments

Now I don't know how much tracking crackers and re-packers remove from the games getting cracked, but if unity were to count cracked games as a valid install (and they will count every install of a game they are aware of), thn piracy could seriously bankrupt indie devs. Like, not just losing them revenue, but actively losing them money. While piracy is already in an ethical grey area, I think that is just a bit too much. So, I want to raise awareness of this, and with it I have 2 questions to ask:

  • Do the people that crack games make sure to remove the ability of unity tracking cracked installs?
  • If the answer to the previous question is "no", how do we make them aware of the fact that it is probably for the better if they do this?
 

I think, especially in programming language communities, that there tends to be a preference towards making a static language for their compile time guarantees, and this is a pretty concrete counterargument as to why people find dynamic languages "easier to program in"
