I’m the opposite. If there’s 500 lines I will look closer for issues. If there’s only 10 lines it’s LGTM. I’m not going to reward such behavior.

Flask is a fun framework for making web apis.

Pika is a client for RabbitMQ, if you want to try message queue stuff.

Numpy and sklearn for numerical and machine learning stuff.

Matplotlib for making nice plots of your numerical stuff.

Pytorch for deep learning.

Pillow for image processing.

OpenCV for computer vision.

Pygame for 2D games (maybe a bit old, but I had lots it fun with it when I started learning programming years ago)

It has been known for centuries that you see a different night sky depending on how far north or south you are. A flat earth model has to explain why northern pole star is only visible in some parts of the world, while southern cross is only visible in other parts.

It’s a marketing trick. First suggest an insanely high price. Customer rejects. Then suggest a lower price, but still expensive. The customer will be more inclined to buy, because the new lower price feels like a good deal in relation to the incredibly expensive old price.

If they went with the lower price right away, the customer wouldn’t be as inclined to buy because they don’t have the incredibly insane price as a reference point.

They will just put a ruler on the ground. If earth was perfectly round, then the ruler would only touch the ground in exactly one point. But the entire ruler touches the ground. Hence, the earth cannot be perfectly round, so it must be flat. QED.

He has to finish section 7.2.2 of his book

Knuth has also decided that once he dies, a last version will be made which sets the version number exactly to pi.

I would think it was a weird photoshop job.

The lighting doesn’t feel very natural. It’s inconsistent.

Her hair and face suggest a direct sunlight from the left, but the environment suggests indirect sunlight. The background trees should have more direct sunlight to the left.

The tentfire should also spill out some light to the environment.

The tent also suggests the sunlight comes from the right.

Consistent lighting is something AI is currently struggling with. It gives off a Photoshop edit vibe.

There’s still something uncanny about it.

Still incredibly impressive. I wouldn’t believe this was prompt generated just a few years ago.

The numbers I can find of Master System is that it sold between 10 to 13 million units worldwide, so not that much better compared to the short lifespan of Dreamcast.

Mega Drive’s sales numbers isn’t too far off from SNES.

Sega’s only console success was Mega Drive/Genesis. Probably because “Sega does what Nintendon’t”. Sega managed to sell themselves as the alternative for the kids who were too cool for the SNES.

They couldn’t compete with Sony on that front. Sony was the new cool guy. Dreamcast failed because everybody was waiting for PS2.

So I’d say failed marketing killed Dreamcast.

I’m bad at being a good person, so that would make me a bad person?

That’s good to hear. I haven’t touched Eclipse in maybe 15 years and back then it fueled me a burning hatred for IDEs. It felt like a huge confusing mess. But maybe it has become more streamlined lately.

Now I have grown out of my hatred and can’t imagine a day without (non Eclipse) IDEs.

Is anyone using Eclipse anymore? I’ve barely heard anything about it the past 10 years.

It’s not that funny.

Docker is like a virtual machine, but you only run one specific program in it. About exactly what the meme describes.

That’s fair enough. The common misconception is that waterfall is great for space missions, when in reality NASA is doing agile.

I agree that not everybody is NASA, so what works for them doesn’t necessarily work for everyone.

NASA also successfully flew a helicopter on Mars first try.

It’s barely waterfall planning either. Often there’s no planning, at least no coordinated one.

Currently at my current workplace we lack coordinated planning between teams. It seems like everybody is working in their own directions and it can take months until we get feedback from other teams. Mostly a product management problem.

I think the latest one is at least fascinating for how bad it is.

It’s a super hero movie that forgot it’s supposed to be super hero movie. It’s not until the last 5 minutes it makes the grand realization it’s actually supposed to be a super hero movie, so it rushes through the super hero part as fast as possible just to get that done.
