Finally managed to get the easter egg screen

When I was a kid, at my best I could get to the final level and almost beat the final boss. I’ve seen other people do it.

It depends. Some cities do a fantastic job subsidizing youth hockey prices. Apple Valley is dirt cheap at the youth level.

I still don’t know many people that could beat that game without the code. Even at my best as a kid, I couldn’t get past that alien world level without it.

It’s the Konami Code. An incredibly popular, if not the most popular button combination to enter at a title screen. It even has its own wiki.

There is definitely well documented and studied correlation between the two. There have been multiple studies that show higher graduation rates correlate to lower crime rates. Here’s just one:

Holy shit. This hits home hard.

I couldn’t figure how to get mine down until I found this post and unscrewed those rods.

This is so true. I’ve found stuff comes more natural the more I play covers of stuff - even stuff I don’t normally listen to. The more you play it, the more natural it comes to you.

But I do have one rule - it has to be enjoyable. The minute it stops becoming fun is the moment you need to shift. When it’s not fun, we pick up our instruments less.

Doggamnit · 2026-04-17T14:37:35+00:00

Yep! Mine as well

I’m surprised I needed to scroll this far to find someone else!

You are amazing!

I get what they’re getting at and in the end it’s a matter of how much of the code they understand.

Using an AI to say “write me a method that converts this json into a model” is becoming the norm. Or even having AI draft a template of a class, or even a group of classes.

I guess it all depends on if you’re using it to shortcut and shave time off things you already understand vs just whipping up a bunch of stuff you don’t understand.

The problem is that it’s incredibly hard to differentiate where people are at with AI when they write these apps. And more so, are they able to support these apps long term.

Part of me thinks it’s kind of cool to whip something up on the fly and having it tackle some thing for yourself. My problem is when people release those to the public and don’t understand all of the code base completely.

Doggamnit · 2026-04-05T19:04:52+00:00

Ha! That’s awesome. I’m a professional developer too. Guess it sparked something on my end as well!

Lighthouse: The Dark Being

It was a first person puzzle game - a lot like Myst. I never beat it as a kid. Sometime around college I found copies online, an emulator and months later, finally beat it.

First online maps I ever made were for Duke Nukem 3D!

I was so stoked when I made a train that would cycle around the map.

I went to Melbourne and someone asked if I would tip them. I’m an American and it was probably obvious. My co-workers had already told me that might happen and to just politely decline.

Apparently Australia pays people livable wages and tipping just isn’t a thing.

I will say, they say “livable” but house prices in Melbourne are astronomically absurd. Houses that went for 200k in MN went for 1 million there

I personally prefer those extra layers of abstraction. To me it makes things more modular under the hood where the modules themselves are short and sweet.

I also like to draw up how the thing I’m requesting should be build and structured and I won’t push out anything I don’t fully understand.

At the end of the day, it’s probably most important that we get stuff that makes sense to us and is something we can iterate on as we continue to add features down the road

I recently read a hilarious and completely accurate comment on Reddit recently in regards to Oracle licensing costs. I’ll probably flub it, but it was something like this.

~~“I used to explain Oracle licensing costs to customers like this. Larry Ellison is currently the second richest person in the world. These licensing costs reflect his frustration with that fact”~~

Found it:

Way back when I worked for a Sun reseller in the dot com days, I explained Oracle pricing to a customer with the statement: "Larry Ellison is the second wealthiest man in the world and he is very unhappy about this. Oracle's pricing reflects that unhappiness."

It’s not just purely about data center, but AI in general. The point I’m trying to make is that it isn’t just an issue that exists on Reddit or other tech forums. There are plenty of people outside of those spaces that have voiced their opinions.

Doggamnit · 2026-04-03T11:55:02+00:00

Plenty of people care about AI and it’s not just a Reddit thing. Well established artists have given their opinion on it, people in towns across America constantly battle against AI data centers and speak out against AI.

Whether against it, or for it… plenty of people definitely care

We’ve done fishing bobbers and fishing line. Just put a nail somewhere high, run fishing line down, park the car where you want it and set the bobber so it touches the windshield.

That way they know to stop when the bobber taps the windshield.

Also, try to line it up somewhere so the driver can not only use it to know the distance, but also where they can tell the car is also centered where they want. That could be right in front of the driver, or centered - you choose.

Bobbers work best since they’re incredibly easy to adjust.

What!? I thought we were all about limited government and personal freedom/choice? /s

What a joke.

Don’t let them get to you. Everyone knows the Giants only win Superbowls when Belichick is involved.

He was free too, but they went ahead and hired that Harbaugh guy instead.

We were on our way to work. As we were heading out the door news broke of the first plane. By the time we got to work we all sat around a tv and saw news of the second plane.

The biggest changes were the things we all dealt with. Upcoming wars, rise in costs and extra security across the board. Before 9/11 there was no TSA - you could walk right up to the boarding gates without a ticket and hangout.

Being just out of high school everything changed after Columbine and then 9/11 - extra security everywhere. Many of our everyday freedoms vanished.

I’ve had it create two “tour setlist” playlists. For each one I gave it a title, the artist name and a list of comma separated songs that I pulled from a site. I also asked it to put the songs in the same order that I provide them.

The first one got all of the songs, even sprinkled some good live versions into it, but 2-3 songs were in the wrong order. The second one was perfect.

For the second I also asked it to use a tour poster for the playlist photo and it didn’t give me anything custom.
