Yea same issue on my end. Seems the balatro dev didn’t set up the shop properly.

I thought most drives were still TLC and QLC is still pretty new, right?

But yes, QLC has more like 1000 write cycles, but either way, like 5-10%ish of TLC/QLC drives are SLC cache, meaning you’d get fast write speeds and 100,000 cycles on that part of the drive, but yes they wouldnt last as long as a pure SLC. From what I understand though, a lot of these drives will copy under used files from the SLC cache to the QLC cache since read speeds are basically the same, in order to optimize the percentage of actively used files in the SLC cache.

So to answer your last question, yes. Video editing is probably one of the most demanding things you can do with a drive, and will shorten the lifespan of the device. But this is true for literally any kind of drive, and any operation you do with a drive. Hard drives may not have a write cycle limitation like ssds, but they have moving parts that wear with use. So theres not really anything you can do to avoid the issue. To video edit period, you’re going to put wear on your drive.

Also to give some context, average SSDs have about 100,000 write cycles per cell, before write failure can have a chance of happening. Since it distributes it out across the cells, you could write 1GB to a 1TB SSD about 100 million times. This isn’t a small number really, it’ll take a while to do that. I’ve been editing here and there on my ssd for 5+ years on top of full time video game development and it still works fine, with no signs of stopping. I read some guy online who edited video nearly every day for three years, and the ssd software still said he had about 10% of the ssd life remaining before write failures. So depending in your work flow your drive could last 4 to 10+ years.

The only real differences here are cost and speed. Do you want to wait around for a slow hdd while you’re editing, or do you want to edit quickly and enjoy the process? I personally would always edit on an SSD because you’re not solving the problem by using something else. Like yea, maybe a hard drive would last twice as long as an ssd, but it’s also twice as slow, so you’re just stretching those, say, 5 years of man-hours into 10. You’re not actually getting more work done on that drive.

Diablo 1/2

Where are you getting this information? I see that the Duffer Brothers were still on as producers and writers for season 2.

What I am reading is that they originally intended for the show to be a one-off or an anthology, but once they realized that they had a massive success, one that relied heavily on the likability of the kids, they changed their mind and started working on a sequel. Season 2 sucks because they were never intending on making it, and had a time crunch. With the later seasons though, they’ve known they were going to make them for years, and they had time to write better interconnected stories, so they’ve been improving with season 4 and hopefully 5.

Season 2 was the worst in my opinion, with the most recent season being about on par with the first.

They’d probably handle me the same way as the fish boss in Earthworm Jim. Just one smack to the face and I’m done. That’s all it takes.

Such a fun museum, so many cool pieces of hardware I’d never have the chance to see in person.

This happens because the connector is at an angle. Since it’s at an angle, the screw presses against the side and jams itself in place. All you have to do is tilt the connector the other direction and the tight screw loosens right up. Easy peasy.

Ryuko’s portrait looks pretty good, but that red text is really painful on the eyes.

But neither c++ or Java have typeof

This sure looks like C#. I use typeof every once in a while when I want to check that the type of a reference is a specific type and not a parent or derived type. But yea, really not that often.

Probably meant “pull” and he’s laughing mid sentence about how little 65lbs is

So two? I can think of way more shitty tech companies without Indian CEOs than with.

Amazon, Twitter, Reddit, Bandcamp, Facebook, Unity, EA, Tumblr, Activision-Blizzard, Spotify, AirBnB, Uber, Snapchat, Netflix, Zoom, Bytedance, Hulu, Tinder, Epic, FTX, Apple, Tencent, Verizon, Cloudflare.

I’m honestly having trouble thinking of any other companies than Google and Microsoft. Very much not “most”.

So from what I can find, you’re right in that it’s not 100% goo, but it’s not really “coordinated small steps either”. It’s a messy fluid process that all sort of happens at once. When caterpillars are inside their chrysalises, they first digest themselves by releasing an enzyme. But this enzyme doesn’t break down everything. Some organs are completely dissolved and completely new ones are grown from the goo, but most only partially, and are moved around remodeled into their butterfly counterparts. As for the entirely new parts, like wings, they’ve actually been inside the caterpillar since before the cocoon as these tiny clumps of cells call imaginal discs, and it’s only during metamorphosis that they begin to develop into their full size organ. It’s really cool, and you should read more about it. I’m no expert, so I’m sure I explained it badly, but here’s some good links.

They look like crab rangoons.

Salary? Money? Without a government?

Y’all don’t hear ads for stuff like Adam & Eve? Here in Texas we have ads for drugs and sex toys lol

They splice together multiple mobile screenshots. There might be an app that lets you press a button, scroll, then press stop, to do the same thing.

But it’s definitely designed for mobile. This reads really easily on my phone.

Clickbait headline and a completely pointless article. It’s just a bunch of complaining, without any suggestions. Plus I can’t even re-open the link to read it again, since it’s behind a login wall.
