I had someone on my team who we had to let go for not showing up to work, and it took 3 tries to just get him to join the call. For the backstory, he basically didn’t work for ~9 months into the pandemic when we were all working from home. He wasn’t very productive when we’d be in the office, but when WFH, he seemed to only do work when we were on our one on ones, and it got to the point where I had to schedule a 3 hour call every day to motivate him to do work. Eventually he stopped showing up to most of those and was wasn’t getting anything done, and wasn’t fair to everyone else on the team picking up the slack. Sucked for everyone involved.

Yeah I wouldn’t sacrifice the simplicity for more features, the one button buy/sell is a great mechanic.

Have you considered having a “retirement game play mode” where the goal is to achieve some goal amount of money before the couch. This could be a good way to illustrate more longer term investment strategies

This is pretty fun, good job

Please bro, just let us watch your every movement at all times. Why you have to be like that.

Nintendo is being singled out because they’re withholding the tariff refunds for tariffs they never paid and passed on to the customers. When the tariffs were imposed, no one really blamed Nintendo and knew it was the Administration’s fault. If Nintendo didn’t want sales to drop because of higher prices, they could have eaten the additional tariff cost until it all got sorted out. Had they done this, then they’d be entitled to that tariff refund money. Instead they passed on the tariff cost to customers, which sucks for customers but was really the only sensible thing Nintendo could have done given the circumstances, and most people aren’t really blaming Nintendo on that decision. But now Nintendo is trying to have it both ways, not pay any of the tariffs and keep all of the tariff refunds which is why they’re being singled out. It’s pure greed on their part with blatant disrespect to their customers.

Probably going to get hate for this and reveal my age a bit, but i’ve been on Ubuntu since 2006 back when they’d actually mail you CDs for free. My desktop’s hardware has been a ship of theseus since then, and no dist-upgrade really ever broke things, and I think the last time I did a full OS reinstall was in like ~2011 when I got an SSD that was a smaller side than my old HDD, so I couldn’t just clone the drive with dd. Everything works well for what I need it for, and don’t need the bleeding edge.

I’ve never picked Oracle, but I think their sales pitch is basically to make a good upfront offer with tons of credits which you can’t ignore. The credits expire in like 3 years or something which seems long, and when you’re chasing quarterly profits, cutting your provider cost by 60% helps you look like you made things more profitable. They’re banking on vendor lock in and inertia to keep you in after the credits run out and then they can squeeze you for money.

I took a look at it earlier today and the addition of instances to be blocked was super shady and sloppy on part of the maintainer. Some high profile instances were added to the blocklist alongside unrelated changes and not mentioned in the git commit message, for example this commit: https://github.com/asimons04/tesseract/commit/fcd71e01e9f64d5ff40dbee9b815971bc00e9a2a

Also apparently the error you’d get when going to the blocked instance was a generic error which makes the user think there’s a network issue or incompatibility with the API or something and the idea of a hard coded blocklist is never presented to the user as the source of the issue.

That sounds like a terrible store policy. Couldn’t the cartridge have been scuffed up when it was in the drawer behind the counter, even if new? Honestly I wouldn’t buy from EB Games if this is their policy and you have concerns of getting a used game (either accidentally or nefariously).

Oh thanks, updated the link, It got cut off at%2C but now working.

these dumbasses legit paid Adobe for an ai-generated a stock photo of “A man is typing on a Windows 10 laptop”: https://stock.adobe.com/images/A-man-is-typing-on-a-Windows-10-laptop%2C-working-in-a-modern-digital-office-env/961156873

I had a coworker who tried something like this on a federal holiday, ended up bringing down production on everyone’s day off, and ruining a bunch of people’s days to clean up the mess just because someone was trying to go above and beyond.

“Our disaster recovery was tested last disaster” - this is perfect

Yeah, you know, you’re right. Fuck me for wanting the people who make good content to be paid and recognized for their hard work.

There are creators I follow who don’t make videos full time because the money isn’t there yet for them, but they make good videos. Sponsoring them on Pateron helps them financially, but doesn’t help them grow. if I can signal that this is good content and more people should see it, that helps the creator out and encourages more of that type of content to be created.

Yeah, {} should be [] so it would look something like this:

idk about you but never had an issue with chase’s website on Firefox that prevented me from using it.

I imagine most of their revenue comes from the ad supported “channels” they provide, which non-technical people are tricked into using since they have a technical friend or relative who set them up with Plex 10 years ago. With the Fox acquisition of Roku, the merging of Tubi and Roku Channel would be huge and probably cause Plex to lose streaming licenses of certain properties which will end up as lower revenue.
