They have this exact machine at my local arcade! Out of all the ones they have, this one is my favorite.

I didn't think it had to do with whether you were detected or not beforehand. I read somewhere a long time ago that loading in actually made a lot of noise that triggered the guards' "on guard" posture.

IIRC it also caused issues in places like Aprogrom where you went through a loading gate into an enemy base where they'd already be spooked.

In a crash, the car, you and anything else are all separate objects. Crash designers attempt to couple you to the car via your seatbelt and airbag. Rocks are free-floating.

When you crash, the car experiences a sudden deceleration. You're moving forward and the rocks are moving forward. The rocks will move forward until they hit the windshield and then they will bounce. They will also receive some of the energy experienced by the car's deceleration - which is MASSIVE relative to the mass of a rock.

Depending on the size of the rocks and the speed of the crash, those rocks very well may become bullets. Especially due to their high velocity and potentially small surface area.

I feel like some person genuinely attempting to look out for the safety of someone else and being lambasted for it is wild. Follow the advice if you wish but it's not like this is uncharted territory. Automotive engineers have been mapping crash dynamics for literal decades...

This is exactly what I was thinking of when I saw this but you beat me to it!

I almost feel like he wasn't actually trying to persuade her but instead he is so insufferable that clearly God couldn't exist because that would make him horrifically cruel.

I actually think that because of all the fear of probationary / non-bargaining unit employees being let go last month, this will not go over well.

People are very conscious of how perilous things are getting.

The stars sure are detailed these days...

My friend and I finished 100%ing Slay the Princess.

Highly recommend. The writing is fantastic and all the different routes feel distinct and rewarding to explore. Go into it blind!

I just don't really get why people even get behind stuff like this. There's just nothing for anyone to really gain and a whole lot for everyone to lose...

Even the mega rich and the corporations have to recognize that an unstable world isn't really a great place to live or do business right? Or is it just that they're so far removed from everything that they don't have to care?

By the time you're benefiting from this in a non-symbolic way, your net worth is more than you can conceivably spend in a lifetime... Go home, you're done!

My piHole is the one thing that lets me use my phone without getting bombarded with ads. Best choice of my life. Set up Wireguard to VPN when out and about too.

I feel like the original guides are good but maybe compiling braindead simple guides would help mass adoption.

I actually kinda agree with this.

Even if a commandline tool has more power, utility and flexibility than a gui tool, guis let you drill down into the core workflow of what your software is meant to do. At a minimum, it lets you segment what your regular users are expected to do from what your power users could use your software to do.

Additionally, if you intend for your software to be used by non-software adjacent users, a commandline interface is just asking for people to get lost/confused.

At work, we use ROS on some of our systems and while the commandline tools are simple to someone who works in the ecosystem, knowing what to look at when things go wrong is tricky.

Even a simple gui in tkinter that shows statuses or shows a list of topics and lets you print them out is leagues above the commandline when it comes to how much I need to be involved in other peoples' problems.

It is a luxury to be knowledgeable in software concepts and I think software devs/power users forget that often.
