A little off-topic: anyone else read this as “BCA Chefs”, initially?

If only it were that easy to snap your fingers and magically transform your code base from C to Rust. Spoiler alert: It’s not.

How utterly disingenuous. That’s not what the CISA recommendation says, at all.

As if the new notepad wasn’t already enough of a downgrade.

This really reads to me like the perspective of a business major whose only concept of productivity is about what looks good on paper. He seems to think it’s a desirable goal for EVERY project to be completed with 0 latency. That’s absurd. If every single incoming requirement is a “top priority, this needs to go out as soon as possible” that’s a management failure. They either need to ACTUALLY prioritize requirements properly, or they need to bring in more people.

For the Chuck and Patty example, he describes Chuck finishing a task and sending it to Patty for review, and Patty not picking it up because she’s “busy.” Busy with what? If this task is the higher priority, why is she not switching to it as soon as it’s ready? Do either Chuck or Patty not know that this task is the current highest priority? Sounds like management failure. Is there not a system in place (whether automatic or not) for notifying people when high priority tasks are assigned? Also sounds like management failure. Is Patty just incapable of switching tasks within 30-60 minutes? She needs to work on her organization skills, or that management isn’t providing sufficient tooling for multitasking.

When a top-priority “this needs to go out ASAP” task is in play on my team, I’m either working on it, or I know it’s coming my way soon, and who it’s coming from, because my Project Lead has already coordinated that among all of us. Because that’s her job.

From the article…

Project A should take around 2 weeks

Project B should take around 2 weeks

That’s 4 weeks to complete them both

But only if they’re done in sequence!

If you try to do them at the same time, with the same team, don’t be surprised if it ends up taking 6 weeks!

Nonsense. If these are both top priorities, and the team has proper leadership, (and the 2 week estimate is actually accurate) 4 weeks is entirely achievable. If these are not top priorities, and the team has other work as well, then yeah, no shit it might be 6 weeks. You can’t just ignore the 2 weeks from Project C if it’s prioritized similarly to A and B. If A and B NEED to go out in 4 weeks, then prioritize them higher, and coordinate your team to make that happen.

All any file is is just numbers. Opening a file in a program is just interpreting those numbers. To over-simplify, in a plain text file, for example, the number 32 means “space character”, and the number 10 means “move down to a new line”. In an audio file, the numbers are going to have meaning related to volume and frequency of sound, at points in time.

Let’s say it’s a cipher, but with a twist.

For one, Ōkami was supposed to have a bigger story, but the team ran out of time and ended midway through what Kamiya wanted to do.

WHAT?! The game’s campaign is already obnoxiously long.

If they get friends, I get friends.

Fuck every last person who gatekeeps the way someone uses intentional game mechanics.

It sure sounds like you would like it. I will say that for me, everything about the game is fantastic, except for the combat, which is kinda terrible. Especially the boss fights. Feels to me like they’re trying to mimic a souls-like style, but really really overshot on difficulty.

Basically, I say go for it, but don’t hesitate to drop the difficulty settings, if you’re like me.

Also, get yourself a physical notepad. Yeah, I kind of agree that if note-taking and such is intended as part of the game, there should be a venue to support that in-game, but there isn’t really.

Also, also, don’t feel bad about having to look up some stuff for the really late/post-game puzzles. One thing they toom WELL from Dark Souls is the idea of puzzles that are really made to be solved by the collective wisdom of the community, not just you.

Also, also, also, don’t disregard the language puzzle, completely. I did, and when I looked it up later, I wish I hadn’t I wish I’d at least have given it a shot, for myself.

Good luck!

Absolutely. Like you say, it just doesn’t happen in large streams, and the threshold is probably a lot larger than you think, since on average maybe 10% of viewers actually participate in chat. The dynamic starts shifting at around 1,000 simultaneous viewers, in my experience, between chat being readable and interactable, and being just spam. That’s still plenty big enough to qualify for partner, and even make a living off of streaming alone.

The only negative aspect of FemShep is that she can’t romance Tali.

That game’s still around?

Shit shit shit, I just remembered I haven’t attended English class all semester.

Shit shit shit, I can’t remember my locker combination, and I can’t find the orientation sheet that has it, also I can’t find my class schedule, I have no idea what class I’m supposed to be in right now.

Plus a few other variations. All High School. I dunno why the focus on High School, I’m 34. I get one of these once or twice a month.

I remember when Toonami gave it a 10/10 and I agreed wholeheartedly.

I’m probably a lot more willing than the average person to forgive the occasional part that sucked. All games have them, so I try not to hopdbthat against a game that has plenty of non-suck to offer.

Lord knows Sunshine has a few. Fucking Plinko.

A man should get violent and angry and protective when someone hits on his woman.

Exactly who I was thinking of. I actually really appreciate that they evolved their music, instead of just doing the same things for 15 years.

I’ve had a lot of success with this guy.

Supports a variety of different battery sizes, can charge at different rates, goves voltage readouts, and can run full capacity tests.

I was originally only looking for an 18650 charger, but I got way more than I bargained for.

Whatever primate would have enough hand coordination to write, and/or use sign language. “We found a monkey that can communicate in perfect English, and is asking to speak to the President” is bound to make big headlines.

Lol, no. I have family members that actively called him a n****r while he was in office.

“Not to mention how many troopers we lost under orders to not shoot to hit.”
