According to this Blu-ray has some of the worst expected shelf life, with the exception of BD-RE.

Tell that to Microsoft!

bool?

In my experience, token limits mean nothing on larger context windows. 1 million tokens can easily be taken up by a very small amount of complex files. It also doesn’t do great traversing a tree to selectively find context which seems to be the most limiting factor I’ve run against trying to incorporate LLMs into complex and unknown (to me) projects. By the time I’ve sufficiently hunted down and provided the context, I’ve read enough of the codebase to answer most questions I was going to ask.

When did dramatized tv become misinformation? It wasn’t a documentary…

I get that, it’s a valid point. But in OOP, objects can be things and do things. That’s kinda the whole point. We’re approaching detailed criticism of contextless development concepts though so it kinda doesn’t matter.

Properties are great when you can cache the computation which may be updated a little slower than every time it’s accessed. Getter that checks if an update is needed and maybe even updates the cached value then returns it. Very handy for lazy loading.

It’s fun and interesting all the experimentation that went on back then. As someone deaf in one ear… it’s hard to truly appreciate, but I get it.

Well fuck.

/mnt is reasonable and normal. I have used /mnt, /data, /media for various hardware and software mounted storage. It really doesn’t matter unless you’re dealing with some specific software or organization with esoteric requirements.

How does one find a good financial advisor? How do you spot flakes or bad ones?

Definitely! I think I’m just so excited that even NMS updates get me hyped for it!

At this point every single update from the previous one onward is a trial / test of the systems and mechanics that will go into Light No Fire.

Unfortunately they stop caring after the child is born.

Fun tidbit, DuckDuckGo has a bang for it, I use it all the time.

!a2 <program name you want to replace>

A2 has been changing a lot over the years. I have found it’s UX to be going in the wrong direction and it feels like it’s on a path towards too much ad monetization and spoiled trust. For now it seems fine still but it does list alternatives to itself which could use some love and support along the way as A2 grows.

Talk about your interests. Show a passion for your hobbies outside of work/the industry. Relate those passions to your goals within the industry. Generally just be interested and they’ll find you interesting. You got this!

Update edit: Congrats on the offer!

The odd config files on inconsistent drive should just be symlinks (I think you want hard links?) so that your repo can contain all your actual code and file tracking. If necessary, keep a script on hand that can be run when mounted to recreate broken links.

This is a very strange setup and goes against standard practice separation of software and hardware unless this is some embedded thing in which case you wouldn’t have a repo on it at all.

Absolutely it was. It’s definitely had its growing pains, but I was in a generally advantageous place where most of the issues hadn’t caused problems for me. In this case, I was sorta golden path user.

Using it in 2004 was like a dream. It was already incredible to have all my valve games in one place that I can redownload whenever (overnight slowly on DSL) without having any discs and it just worked. Didn’t have to insert a disc just to play the installed game via activation, didn’t have to clone the disc and mount the iso to pretend the same. It just worked and has just worked ever since.

$400? What’s the delivered cost on these things?

This is why engineering managers need to come from engineering. If they couldn’t help out in the codebase in an emergency situation, they shouldn’t be making decisions like this. It’s not unreasonable for ELT to ask questions about this but if their reporters are not telling them the truth, the whole structure is broken.
