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)

Spheres of Chaos is an old asteroids based game that really ups the ante on trippyness and cool sounds
I should warn you though that it is very flashy, so epilepsy warning is in order

Yeah if you play ssf you sidestep these problems entirely and then the only problem you might have is simply just inventory management (which also only comes up in the lategame)

You can easily get through PoE1's main campaign without paying a dime
Someone also posted a video of them essentially getting through the "midgame" of path of exile in 24 hours without paying as well https://youtu.be/JeIDCxQhZM4
However, during that midgame he shows that he really starts having trouble with the lack of stash tabs for trading. It's doable, but that's kind of where you start hitting your limits
All in all, if you play for the main campaign it's essentially just a free game, and if you play without trading the game is still designed to be somewhat doable. Really the only thing you miss out on is trading

As a nix user, guix looks legit nice but it took me until 2 days ago to actually find community projects made for guix(https://whereis.みんな/) . Sometimes I just wish they used the same store and daemon as nix so that nix packages can work as guix dependencies and vice versa.
(Also major thing stopping me from using guix is I don't get service types at all, let alone how you'd define your own service :( )

Ik heb sinds kort een nieuwe telefoon. Het scherm is, net zoals meest nieuwe telefoons, zo groot mogelijk. De voorkant is bijna 100% touchscreen. Dit betekent dat de speakers en microfoon aan de onderkant van de telefoon zitten, waardoor je dus mensen als beste hoort als je zo in je telefoon praat. (Ook al moet ik zeggen dat ik speakers aan de bovenkant van mn telefoon zie, maar ik heb ze nog niet horen werken :( )

idk if all my calendars around me have been implementing it wrong, but if not, UTC is also affected by daylight savings, making it the same time zone as GMT

Second semifinals are today and I kinda hope there will be a riot going on in Malmö. Or at least make sure the EBU has to make more statements tomorrow

That's only if you're working with the perspective of it being a polynomial. When you're considering the polynomial as a vector however, that operation simply doesn't exist

I don't know how well this fits here, but, well I don't know where else to post nixos drama. So without further ado:
NixOS drama
Quick introduction: nix is package manager that allows you to reproducibly build any piece of software. It has been exploding in popularity over the past few years and has gotten to the point of receiving commercial endorsement. It has also received endorsement from more controversial companies, and this is where issues start to brew
A few days ago, after the success of an open letter condemning nixcons sponsorship of Anduril, a new open letter showed up. This time it discusses the creator of nix, Eelco Dolstra, and how he is becoming detrimental towards the goals of the nix community. The letter is not quite as well received as the anti-anduril letter, mostly because of its padded length and aggressive tone. I think delroth captures my personal feelings towards this letter.
Furthermore, Eelco has dropped a response, which ends in him suggesting users to move away from the community-run nix foundation and towards his consulting company, Determinate Systems. Needless to say I don't like this call towards division at all.
Now I haven't don't a particularly deep analysis of this whole drama, since I'm basically merely a user and not all that active in the development of nix. Here is a link for if you want to get more details from someone who did go more in depth dissecting both articles

Short for Just Asking Questions. Where people ask loaded questions that act as a veneer to their actual statements. If you want to accuse them of the fact they are talking shit, they'll say they're "just skeptical" and "asking questions"

What are you on about? The open letter was specifically advocating against sponsorships and advertisements of the Military Industrial Complex. I.E. private companies who specifically try to turn a profit from countries going to war. Companies that literally earn money over people's dead bodies. I think the people that wrote the open letter were very aware that being sponsored by the military was something that is hard to avoid. However there is a clear difference between being sponsored by a military and being sponsored by, like, literal death merchants

Hate to be that guy, but all those articles are 5 years or older. Have people had more recent complaints about systemd or did that movement that complains about it kinda move on?
Holy shit it's finally happening again! I'm personally a big fan of the late Solid Steel podcast, and while I haven't gone through these mixes yet, I'm excited to see how they turn out - https://soundcloud.com/poolside/ninja-tune-presents-downtempo-with-poolside-dj-mix - https://soundcloud.com/saluteaut/ninja-tune-presents-fitness-with-salute-dj-mix - https://soundcloud.com/ninja-tune/ninja-tune-presents-sofia-kourtesis-fitness-mix - https://soundcloud.com/georgeriley-music/ninja-tune-presents-george-riley-chill-mix - https://soundcloud.com/jaydagmusic/ninja-tune-presents-jayda-g-fitness-mix
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](https://nitter.net/FreyaHolmer/status/1701652716173369660) [recieved](https://nitter.net/AggroCrabGames/status/1701691036832309260) Here is how much youtuber [Dani](https://www.youtube.com/@Danidev) would have to pay unity if they consider his games to gain over $200k in revenue ![Dani's hypothetical unity payments](https://feddit.nl/pictrs/image/72ead124-8581-4f70-af86-739619d06c01.png) 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"
