I feel this. Starlink was both procedurally generated AND a simulation and let me tell you crafting situations to test specific outcomes was a nightmare.
Determinism is key.

New sheriff rides into town and has to take over a town recently occupied by bandits.

He has to navigate the various factions and when a narrow passage through a cliff face is discovered he negotiates with the indigenous peoples who live there to allow travellers and trade through it.

I was today years old when I realized that Deep Space 9 is a western.

In Mexico I am known as Señor Logan.

Apologies but, friends, you should be using Linux.

Especially towers.

I swear when I had this conversation with my Grandmother a yearish before her passing she was kinda sheepish about it, but she was no saint herself so I was prepared. Hahaha.

(I should clarify that this is maternal and not the paternal great grandfather who walked off the pier, though he was also an Englishman)

My fondest memories of her was when I was like 3 or 4 and she would rap me on the head with her cane and tut at me.

Nice! My maternal great grandmother was the other woman and seduced my great grandfather away from his family! He fled England under suspicious circumstances (including changing his name) and she was a Glaswegian tank of a woman who I have no idea what she got up to before she arrived in Canada.

Ah, the early retirement clause!

I had a great grandfather who cashed that one in when he walked off a pier drunk and drowned.

A pop up that says "Windows protected your PC. Microsoft Defender SmartScreen prevented an unrecognized app from starting. Running this app might put your PC at risk." It has a visible link for "More Info" and a button that says "Don't run"

reminder that when you see this in windows, all it means is that the developer didn't pay microsoft protection money

microsoft doesn't care if something is malware, as long as it's signed in a way they approve of.

Couple of notes here:
1. The failure rests with leadership and noone else
2. The leadership of failing companies blame employees to save face
3. There is no evidence that even if there was espionage that it damaged the company

We should have just let him do it, really.

maybe but also possibly

I do not recommend confusing those two wets as it will produce adverse results.

I've been helping test drive Chatto since the very early days and it's really excellent.

It's come a long way, and it's still a work in progress, but already crazy good.

How I arrived on Bluesky

LLMs are the fools gold of AI

Unless you're already successful or have an instant mega-hit on your hands, there is no future in GaaS.

And we're all out of instant mega-hits.

It's only a twinkling libido if it's from the LeBidoux region of France. Otherwise it's just sparkling sex drive.

A flop of ferrets

The more languages I learn the less sure I am about *anything*, in fact.

This is perhaps the intended outcome.

One day, when I know all languages, I will be perfectly equipped and yet completely unable to communicate any rational thought, for I shall have none I am sure of.

One would think that knowing more languages means you are better equipped to correctly pronounce new and unfamiliar words except it is, in fact, entirely the opposite.

As the old adage goes, "The only perfect codebase is the one with zero lines of code."

In an hour of playing this I laughed myself to tears at least twice.

I say at least because I'm pretty sure I blacked out at some point.

There's an easy solution here - you both play by holding one half of the controller!
Surely this is an excellent idea that will only strengthen your relationship.

Not worth it.
