Devs gaining little (if anything) from AI coding assistants

    Hell yea. Our unit test coverage went way up because you can blow through test creation in second. I had a large complicated migration from one data set to another with specific mutations based on weird rules and GPT got me 80% of the way there and with a little nudging basically got it perfect. Code that would've taken a few hours took about 6 prompts. If I'm curious about a new library I can get a working example right away to see how everything fits together. When these articles say there's no benefit I feel people aren't using these tools or don't know how to use them effectively.

    Parking tickets too here. Though they don't call it a discount, it's basically the price and if you wait too long the price goes up.

  • Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series will continue. Tony Hawk: "Thanks to Activision, Neversoft (RIP). I’m not supposed to tease anything else about the future of the series; but there will be a future."
  • MeatsOfRage MeatsOfRage Now 100%

    I have little faith in this. Neversoft doesn't even exist anymore, they were merged into Infinity Ward to be just another COD grunt. Vicarious Visions who made the wonderful THPS 1+2 also don't exist anymore and the team was merged into Blizzard to work on Diablo (maybe that's why last season was a banger). On the plus side of all these closures, Robomodo who made all the worst Tony Hawk stuff (Ride, Shred, THPS HD, THPS 5) is shut down completely so at the very least they won't get the project.

    It's confusing, the gameplay looks smooth enough, little inconstant but not unplayable. The cut scenes look like they're 7 frames a second.

  • MeatsOfRage MeatsOfRage Now 100%

    As I get older I've grown to just appreciate comfort over precision. I don't play competitive multiplayer, in fact the only multiplayer I play is COD zombies with some buddies once a week. And we all suck anyways so we're just having a laugh. I'd much rather just lean back in my chair with a controller.

    I've got one on the way Best Buy screwed up the pre-order and didn't get enough stock in so I'm left waiting. But yea seems like by all accounts it's roughly the size of a regular phone plus you get a small tablet when you want.

  • Music was better when ugly people were allowed to make it
  • MeatsOfRage MeatsOfRage Now 100%

    Exactly. I wish these types of posts would change "music these days" to "pop these days" because that's what they're talking about.

    It's debatable when pop actually began but pop as we know it really codified in the 80s with dawn of MTV and acts like Madonna and Michael Jackson. The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Queen, etc were popular but I wouldn't classify any of this as Pop. Pop has always been pretty people because it was by its nature tied to a visual medium.

    People need to stop using Pop as a stand in for all music. We have more access to music than ever before and a lot of the music I listen to regularly, I have no idea what they look like.

    Yea I've got a 65" OLED with Dolby Vision. I'd have a hard time going back to anything else. But why even worry about smart features at all when an offline TV is effectively the same as a monitor anyway for less money and more entertainment specific features.

    They're a small studio with a small budget. They probably didn't have the skills and money. The success of the game on Steam would have given them the resources to do this.

    My biggest fear was arriving at the app store and seeing the word free. Glad to see there's still people making games where you just pay and get the game.

    Long story short they turn songs into digital fingerprints, where it can be stored in a tiny way. When you start recording you're making a fingerprint as well. Then it just starts testing yours against its database.

    I'm a little concerned for the next one, Paul King stepped down as director and the new guy has almost no credits behind him. Commercials and music videos, not even a TV show.

  • Canon EOS 70D f/16.0 1/640 18.00mm ISO160O I don't remember the exact location, we were on holiday in Rome. We were on our way to a restaurant called "I Porchettoni" after seeing it on Anthony Bourdain. Looks like the restaurant is rebranded to Trattori Pigneto. It's not far from here but I can't seem to find the exact street: https://maps.app.goo.gl/zaPqW2RCHkv8GYyE6 Don't know the guy, just thought his jacket would look cool in a picture with the bricks and graffiti

    Basically as the title says. We have semi frequent power outages where I live. The noise machine in my daughter's room goes out and wakes her up. If I were to buy a USB powered one, plug it into a power bank like one of those 10000ma ones you get for charging cell phones, would it have continuous power. Basically like a cheap UPS

    We were traveling through Malta in 2018 when I came across this. According to the locals it had crashed up on shore about a month prior. They didn't know what to do so they tied it off until they could come up with a solution. My personal favorite of the photos I took. The two guys below were exploring the ship. Thought it would ruin the shot but it ended up adding some good scale.

    I'm thinking about moving my PC out to the living room and streaming back to my office when I need to. I've used a number of moonlight clients with mixed results. Apple TV and Xbox Series X, terrible with massive lag. Android with Nvidia shield pro or Chromecast with Google TV, not bad but not amazing, MacOS client on MacBook pro and Google pixel 6 pro over wifi 6, perfect feels like it's on the same machine. Before I go through all the effort of setting up the Raspberry Pi 4 just wondering if anyone has any first hand experience on the quality of the stream

    Most of my collection is just the movie rips of just the video that play fine in Plex or Jellyfin. I've got a couple of full disc rips though that have the menus and features and all just like you would if you put the disc in. I can open these in VLC on my computer by choosing the folder. My living room setup is an Apple TV as the primary streaming device but I also have an Nvidia Shield pro and Google TV Chromecast. Is there any way to stream these over the network into some kind of app on any of these devices? **EDIT** After some looking around Kodi *might* be able to do what I want. Going to investigate further. **EDIT 2** The Kodi repo with the required addon (HEVC kodi bluray addon) seems to be down, maybe permanently :/ Still looking for a solution

    Ok so here's the rules - I just bet on red every time - I start with 1 dollar - every time I lose, I triple my previous bet - every time I win I restart I'm going to simulate 10 games - Game 1 - Bet $1 Lose - Game 2 - Bet $3 Lose - Game 3 - Bet $9 Win $18 - Game 4 - Bet $1 Lose - Game 5 - Bet $3 Lose - Game 6 - Bet $9 Win $18 - Game 7 - Bet $1 Lose - Game 8 - Bet $3 Lose - Game 9 - Bet $9 Lose - Game 10 - Bet $18 Win $36 In this simulation I'm losing at a rate of 70%. In reality the lose rate is closer to 52%. I put in $54 but I'm walking away with $72, basically leaving the building with $18. Another example. Let's pretend I walk in with $100,000 to bet with. I lose my first 10 games and win the 11th. - 1 lose - 3 lose - 9 lose - 27 lose - 81 lose - 243 lose - 729 lose - 2187 lose - 6561 lose - 19683 lose - 59049 win $118098 $88573 spent out of pocket, $118098 won Walk out with roughly $29525. I get most casinos won't let you be that high but it's a pretty extreme example anyway, the likelyhood of losing 10/11 games on 48% odds is really unlikely. So help me out here, what am I missing?

    This feels like a common courtesy I don't see enough, particularly the second point. In a conversation circle, always try to keep your side vision open to people trying to find their way in. It can be awkward to try and find your own way in so giving them a spot tells them they're included then drop a quick brief on the conversation "We're talking about pineapples on pizza, good or bad" gives them context to jump in immediately.

    I'm looking for some game recommendations. I feel like a ton of these games exist but they're riddled with IAP. I don't mind paying a little to buy the game. I have the play pass but so many of these games are active involvement and landscape orientation. I like to have an extra hand free and landscape requires both hands on. But really want passive engagement. Like as soon as I stop playing the game is waiting for me. Example games: Polytopia Magnet Balls Free Cell Threes Card Thief Knights of Pen and Paper Games like Slay the Spire (but portrait). Although I've never really found a Slay the Spire-like that didn't feel like a watered down version of STS
