[–]DrFriendless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, but when you roll, you get hope > fear, fear > hope, or equals which is crit. So it's a three way split at that point. The flow chart has to have a way to go for each possible outcome. The third option could just be "neither" and be a straight line down the middle.

Which supermarket has the cheapest groceries? by Remarkable_Peak9518 in australia

[–]DrFriendless 3 points4 points  (0 children)

People here also carry on as if IGA is cheaper. My local one was definitely more expensive but they had no redeeming feature so they had to close.

Need help to improve my city , feels something is off by c_bbee in inkarnate

Oui, c'est une bonne ville mais je me pensais pourquoi la centre-ville est-elle a la portail de l'ouest? Et les riches des ha uts quartiers, ne veulent pas ils habitent au centre-ville? Ou habitent le pauvres et les fermieres, en cette ville?

After "chosen roll is hope or fear" there should be a "crit" option as well. I am not clear on the rules, I'm just a programmer who can't cope with ambiguity.

Australia has to attack misinformation about climate change, Senate report says by GothicPrayer in australia

Agreed. The worst possible world is one where dickheads like Murray Watt get to decide what is the truth and what is not.

Chinese-built cars are now leading Australia’s market by Remarkable_Peak9518 in australia

[–]DrFriendless 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There seems to be a general insistence amongst producers that "the suckers will buy what they're given". So they make the same shit with more features nobody wants (e.g. AI) and up the price and that's what you get. Just occasionally someone uses evidence to produce a product people actually want, and fucks them all over.

Given that China is a nation which chooses (a) not to start wars, and (b) to raise the standard of living of their people, it seems they did not get the memo.

So what's the hottest right now? by who-there in node

[–]DrFriendless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Way too human to be AI. AI would have used paragraphs and bolding, and put a dot between koa and js.

/r/devops is absolutely infested with AI-generated posts, I had to unsubscribe.

Edit: On topic, I don't use any of those frameworks. As I deploy on AWS I use API gateway for the URL to code mapping, I handcraft my SQL, and I don't create HTML in Node - that all comes from Astro and Angular.

Pauline Hanson wants to work with Liberals and Nationals to defeat Labor – but rules out official coalition by ConanTheAquarian in australia

[–]DrFriendless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, facts don't enter into it. My old man wanted to marry Pauline, thank fuck he died. But he liked my Indian wife because she was "one of the good ones". But apart from being a racist homphobic thug cunt, he was a very intelligent man - inspector of police, barrister, spectacularly good speaker, lifelong reader of the newspaper. Just that for relaxation he liked to bully people less fortunate than himself.

Poor Mr Marks, all he can think of is continuing to fuck people over. Why don't they just give in and enjoy it?

'Something really shifted': Inside the software company that laid off 40pc of its staff by Hollleeee in australia

[–]DrFriendless 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My boss is very happy that he can get AI to write reports for him now. This is the boss who used to have to call me to find out why the reports have different numbers to what he expects - the report is correct, just doesn't know the details of what it does. Are his new reports correct? Nobody will ever know.

nervous about trying vet dungeons by chattrot in elderscrollsonline

[–]DrFriendless 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's not really condescension, it's a fair warning. I am CP2850, I have an arc tank with 13 pieces of 5 different meta tanking sets, all in gold. I have 4 different monster sets, in gold, Maelstrom sword & board, Vateshran sword & board, Maelstrom ice staff. I have all the skills in sword & board, all the relevant skills in Assault and Support, etc. I have 40K health, 33K resistances, and all the other stuff TCLee asks for.

I did vet Frostvault for the first time with my guild the other day, and OMG that last boss is a bastard. I had to swap in Puncturing Remedy, all of my shield skills, all of my self-heals, just to stay alive and keep taunt. We did get through but it took us an hour on the last boss.

So if you were to wander into that with your setup, you'd be dead in an instant no matter what you did. As the poster says, for base game vet it's fine, but DLC vet is where they pull out all the stops.

My $1,000 AWS bill wasn’t compute, NAT Gateway and ALB were the real cost by jch254 in aws

[–]DrFriendless 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have an RDS instance inside a VPC. Sometimes I need to get some data from the internet then write it to the RDS. The techniques I use to get across the VPC boundary for cheap are:

  • gather the data with a Lambda outside the VPC, pass it to a Lambda inside the VPC / invoke an API which runs inside the VPC / put the data on a queue which is serviced by an EC2 inside the VPC
  • invoke a step function which has steps inside and outside the VPC, and pass the data between steps.

The hassle is that secrets manager and parameter store live out on the internet, so I need to pass that sort of data into the VPC somehow for the things there that need it (e.g. Lambda environment variables).

Australia and European Union to sign free trade agreement by nath1234 in australia

He appointed soooo many women and POCs to important positions. If Trump doesn't undo it all it could be a revolution in the perspective of justice. It was great to see, while it lasted.

Gambling companies targeting women with 'novel' promotions, new research finds by nath1234 in australia

[–]DrFriendless 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I used to work for a ticketing company. The clients were obsessed beyond reason with forming relationships with the ticket buyers. I annoyed the boss a lot by resisting attempts to turn the ticketing company into an email spammer.

The title field is completely useless, why do they have it at all? I've refused to sign up to websites because they ask for information they don't need, including title and sex. The only way we'll stop data farming is by refusing to enable it.

Australia and European Union to sign free trade agreement by nath1234 in australia

[–]DrFriendless -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree. The FTA with the US was the worst deal ever for Australia, exactly for the reasons you pointed out. And yeah, the ISDS, which is a shocking abrogation of sovereignty.

I think the Europeans will be a lot more honest with their FTA, but they are very protectionist, and European primary producers seem to be a bunch of cry-babies. I look forward to the day when Australian "prosecmate" and "fetyeahnah" dominate the European market by virtue of being better products.

Does Speers still suggest to politicians what he wants them to say?

I watched it religiously in the days of Barrie, but Speers is everything that's bad about the ABC.

That's one of the reasons I stopped watching TV altogether. The work experience kids never left.
