This, however, is about diagnostics, i. e. annotating delete with a reason (message) to express developer intent when deleting a function, not about memory management.

Oh, I did grow up before video games were a thing, so I am aware of how CRTs worked. You just made it sound like CRTs would somehow provide tactile feedback while gaming, which I couldn’t place at all, given the context.

Sorry, tactile response from a CRT?

Smoothing is probably the “wrinkle away”, “wrinkle shield” etc. setting. Wool loosening is what a modern dryer calls e. g. “refresh” or “fluff”.

Funny enough, the dial on my dryer bought earlier this year has almost identical settings and layout, just more options.

Sure. In my opinion, however, the overall context of the image does imply the jaguar enjoys similar effects to those clearly requiring the presence of DMT, as that is what is most people commonly associate with ayahuasca.

It’s a bit of a “look at all those animals getting high, this jaguar is even talking to machine elves in the 19th dimension” kinda thing, where - if I remember correctly - they actually consume the leaves for digestive purposes.

Again, the leaves do have an effect, e. g. they apparently act as an SSRI (that’s how common antidepressants work) and we can’t be absolutely sure about their effect on cats (catnip certainly has some effect on cats we don’t readily enjoy), so I can’t dismiss the notion of jaguars seeking them out for that reason as well.

Jaguars actually eat the leaves of b. capii, which acts as a MAOI in the Ayahuasca brew.

While there is some discussion that the harmala alkaloids in b. capii might also be slightly psychoactive in high doses, the actual main compound in Ayahuasca is DMT, which is certainly very psychoactive, but not bioavailable when consumed orally without a MAOI. Unless the jaguars have figured out how to combine the two and/or brew ayahuasca, I strongly doubt that’s their intention and that they’d get comparable effects.

I think the idea stems from the BBC show Weird Nature showing a jaguar eating yage leaves in episode 6, “Peculiar Potions”.

I’m not really sold on how well that content was researched.

It is, probably. But I did a check before I posted and it did display content from Lemmy. Just pointing out alternatives here.

I think Fedilab should do both:

That dude is joking of course, but touching someone in a subtle manner can be used to both express and indicate interest.

If all else fails, entangle him with silk and consume him.

Yeah, that’s the implication. Unfortunately, that is also misleading people into believing they might get a well-tested, nearly bug free game.

Glad to hear that you found a position where your work experience is enjoyable and compatible with your desired life style. Given your last sentence, I hope you can see how the legislation mentioned here could potentially help people who have not yet been so lucky to achieve that.

At 7h / day of just testing, 200k hours amount to approximately 110 years, given 260 working days per year.

Veilguard has been in development for around 9 years, so thats about 12 “years of testing per year”, so pretty much at least 12 people doing nothing else but testing (this assumes sane working conditions - hi EA!)

Given how long the game has been in development, what does that number even mean? How much of the stuff they wrote 9 years ago is still in place, given that players would expect the technological advancements available since 2015.

Also, it’s supposed to be released end of October, I believe? Or has it been postponed even further (again)? Anyway, why would they claim something like that before release? That will probably backfire.

You mean the company that had a feature in place that allowed law enforcement to request and access video footage from your devices without obtaining a warrant first?

Yeah, no thanks.

For anyone interested, I really recommend the book / audio book Entangled Life by Merlin Sheldrake.

I liked the book so much that I later on bought the audio book. It’s entertaining, filled with facts, but not overly scientific to a degree where it can’t be enjoyed by a layman.

Are you trying to imply that Deborah Ann Woll does not genuinely love DnD?

NewPipe stops working whenever Google updates YouTube with a breaking change that NewPipe needs to integrate then, e. g. renaming parameters, changing URLs and the like.

NewPipe has been steadily working for years, with the expected interrupts as they have to play catch up with YouTube. That typically only lasts a few days, sometimes hours, though.

Happy to hear that! Give them some extra pets today!

With type annotations, this problem is mostly alleviated in practice, while still keeping the productivity gains of duck typing.

Please note that this is not a global problem, and that keeping a cat indoors is also not a solution - just don’t get a cat then.

I share all those opinions, so your rant saved me some potential typing in the future.
