I remember working at a place that was just counting up for order IDs, numbers and letters. I was like “eventually it’s going to start spelling bad words” but management didn’t care.

Several thousand hours in gw2. Really liked it.
I hope they keep the stuff I liked. Solo friendly but other people are around to casually join up or whatever. No level grinding. No gear grind.
A prequel seems like it would be unnecessarily putting themselves in a narrative box.
It would be far more interesting to me to either do a time jump forward, or go someplace else. They have the mists in the setting already to explore.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What did it feel like when you first moved out of your family’s home?
5·14 hours agoPretty good. Didn’t have to worry about my parents barging in, or bickering, or any of that.

Technology@lemmy.world•Americans Have Grown Dramatically Anti-Data Center in Just Months, Survey FindsEnglish
10·19 hours agoIf the “geniuses” who run these tech firms spent less money lobbying politicians and instead offered to pay for the college tuition of every student who successfully graduated from the local high school, they would probably get a very different reaction from the public.
Yeah , they could do a lot with their wealth. Unfortunately they are stupid and selfish. They’re playing a dangerous game and eventually they’ll roll for guillotines.

Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•Manhattan Community Board Backs Mayor Mamdani’s plan to put a two-way protected bike lane on W. 72nd Street English
8·1 day agoMomentum was not with project opponents, however, some of whom suggested no one would use the bike lane even as dozens of their neighbors spoke out in favor of its installation.
Self centered idiots
Bike lane opponents’ concerns always turn out to be “unfounded,” said longtime CB7 member and current CB7 transportation co-chair Ken Coughlin.
“I’ve been through all the bike lane battles, every single one, and it’s always been like this,” he said on Tuesday. “People said businesses will suffer, safety will be compromised, especially for pedestrians, and there will be more congestion — and in every case, it’s proven to be unfounded.”
And yet pro-car people never seem to learn. I guess for a lot of them it’s a “this is the first time I’ve ever thought about this problem”
It helps that I’m absolutely not a picky eater. Rice. Beans. Whatever random spices speak to me. Done. Content.

3·2 days agoI think it’s less about they would have died without having kids, and more about they would have died in some isolated village and their ideas would have died with them.
Now they’re all over the internet spreading their shitty thinks like viruses.
I think the floor isn’t “intern”. I think the floor is “middle schooler”.
Meanwhile, every job I’m looking at is saying “must be enthusiastic about AI” 😭
This is a good point. He’s not a bad guy. He’s just not very technical, and sometimes that’s frustrating.
The biggest ones I’ve seen are 1.2GB.
Why this company uses gigabyte CSVs is a separate problem.
(Also sometimes they want to compare a CSV to what’s in a database, which the script can also do but I didn’t mention in the post)
One time at work I was tasked with writing a python script to compare two data sources. Like, you give it two CSVs and a primary key, and it tells you what data is in one but not the other, or mismatched, and so on. This worked fine and was in git, so anyone can use it.
My boss then asks if I can “put it on a website so anyone can use it”.
This team has never done web development. Nothing for that is set up. Like, I could spin up a quick Django app or similar, but there’s a lot of stuff to do and potentially fuck up.
I said “that sounds like a lot of research and ongoing maintenance costs. I think it’d be better to just check out and run the script”
Luckily for me he said “oh, okay”

Probably. They could have used their wealth for anything but they’re like dragons. Do you mourn for dragons in stories of knights slaying them?

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is the number one problem you are facing?
17·3 days agoWell, at the top of the hierarchy is probably capitalism. That’s largely why the climate is changing, why I don’t have a good job, why I need a good job to live a decent life, and so on.
More immediately, my water glass is empty but my cat is sleeping on my chest. I’m thirsty but Mr Meows is so content.






I have wondered about that. What kind of range can you get DIY? I guess if you did fire something they could try to do physics to figure out where it came from, but you’d hopefully be long gone by then.
