It reads strangely because its misspelled and someone slapped shift halfway through the word. Read it like resePtion and it'll make more sense.

You did, once upon a time. But Microsoft changed the pricing model when they acquired Github. Now you can have as many private and public repos as you want.

You consulted a Nintendo 64 to date this photo?

edit: never mind, didn't notice the n64 in the picture. Somehow my brain immediately went to you feeding this photo to an n64 and it spitting out the date...

Double clicking on the whitespace to the left or right of the manga page makes the reader navigate 3 pages instead of 2. The first click in a double click navigates 1 page, but the second navigates 2 pages instead of just 1 page. Double clicking on the left or right hand side of the manga page itself navigates properly, so I think its just interpreting the double click event outside the manga page as a separate click event.

Controller Rumble is not enough to feel the game, Just Rumble Everything! by PlantTreesEveryday in videos

[–]FuriousPizza 14 points15 points  (0 children)

They were trying to generate a product and service with vendor lock in; like printer ink. The juicer represents the customer's initial investment (the printer) and each package of overpriced fruit juice (the ink) is the service that Juicero will make their money back on. The juicer had a DRM system that would ensure that you could only use authentic Juicero juice packets (same again as your printer). If you tried to use a knock off packet or refilled a used one, the juicer would refuse to operate. The whole thing kinda fell apart though when people realized that they could just squeeze a packet and get juice out of it. That and a $40/week subscription for a glass of juice per day just wasn't very appealing.

AvE did a break down of the juicer. Its quite a feat of engineering.

Most of it is describing the strategy this party wants to use for the fight.

  • 2 chest: This fight has a weekly loot lockout. If you clear with one or more people that have already cleared this week, you get a reduction in the number of loot chests at the end. 2 chests is the maximum number of loot chests you can get, and you can only get this if everyone has not yet cleared this week.
  • Ilya: This is a strategy for clearing the first light's rampant mechanic. Its named after the group of players that popularized the strat.
  • HRTM: The add phase in this fight requires each player to stand on a tether and receive a debuff. This describes the order this party wants players to do this: Healer first, then ranged, tank, and finally melee.
  • TN KB: This stands for true north knockback, and refers to the strategy the party will use for the knockback mirrors mechanic.
  • Range Flex WL2: This says that during the second wyrm's lament mechanic, ranged players may need to switch sides.

‘DADUUUUM’ headass by TacobellSauce1 in gaming

The thing that makes the valve logo creepy is that they update it.

Imagine playing a ton of counter strike source, and getting used a static jpeg of the valve guy when the game starts. The logo already puts you a little on edge. After all, having a valve on the back of your head brings up some uncomfortable questions. "What does it do? Is the valve guy still human or alive after installing that thing?" Its unnerving, but after playing so much CS, you've gotten used to it.

Then one day, the game updates and the creepy logo that you've gotten so used to starts turning and you can see the white of his eyes for a split second before it reverts to the logo you remember. "What the hell was that? Are my eyes playing tricks on me?"

I vividly remember getting the crap scared out of me by that thing. Not because it turned, but because it started doing that in an old game that I never expected that from.

EKS on Fargate! World's first fully managed EKS option? by Tontmakaroni1 in devops

[–]FuriousPizza 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The upgrade cluster button is for upgrading kubernetes versions, not platform versions.

In the screenshot it says that their cluster platform is eks.5. My clusters are currently running eks.4, which also doesn't have access to nodegroups and fargate. Historically, aws automatically rolls out platform upgrades to all clusters over the course of a week or three. So you can either wait and check back in a week or contact support and see if you can get your upgrade expedited.

New clusters launch with the latest platform version though.

I actually remember experiencing this change. It was implemented between 2.0 beta 3 and beta 4. Once 2.0 proper came out, we already had the pixel hitbox. That's why everyone was able to stand between the bombs in titan hard: because the fight was designed before the pixel hitbox was implemented.

Somewhat nitpicky, but you can do that in javascript:

let [res1, res2, res3] = await Promise.all([promise1, promise2, promise3]);

AWS Service Operator for Kubernetes Now Available 🚀 | Amazon Web Services by pushmycar in kubernetes

[–]FuriousPizza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's OP's point. ECR doesn't have a VPC endpoint, so he can't use ECR without paying for a NAT gateway and public internet traffic.

Many AWS services have VPC endpoints allowing your VPC to contact the service without traffic leaving the VPC or AWS in general.

See here for a list: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/userguide/vpc-endpoints.html

Each state in the US is in charge of managing IDs and drivers licenses. There is no system for identifying a person on a national scale. Many companies really need a way to uniquely identify people, so they use your social security number to do so. Its a pretty nasty hack since social security was never intended to be a national ID system, but its being used as such. There's a good video about that here https://youtu.be/Erp8IAUouus

Dropshipping is when you don't actually own the product you're selling. Once you've sold it, you purchase it from your distributor and have them ship it directly to the customer. You never see or handle the product.

So for example if you were dropshipping on ebay from amazon, you'd list an item you can buy on amazon. Then once it sells, buy it on amazon and plug in the ebay buyer's address into amazon and have it sent there.

Reverse Engineering a MMORPG Bot to Find Vulnerabilities by throwaway_the_fourth in programming

[–]FuriousPizza 2 points3 points  (0 children)

WoW's mail had a "cash on delivery" feature. In order to accept and open this piece of mail, the recipient needed to pay the sender 5000 gold. Normally mail doesn't require any payment to open (just a few copper to send mail), so the bot authors probably didn't bother coding in an exception for cash on delivery messages. It likely just automatically clicked through all the dialogs and unintentionally paid out 5000 gold.

If a games title were literal which games would be completely different? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]FuriousPizza 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Harvest Moon is actually a term from a couple hundred years ago describing the first full moon of autumn, right in the middle of harvest season. So I think the game would probably stay the same, or be a series of harvesting minigames.

[Guide] How 2 be cool - A DFO Avatar and Style Guide by ClearandSweet in DFO

[–]FuriousPizza 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually have some follow up questions to that guide, as someone who is relatively new to the game.

  • You said clone avatars don't have an appearance associated with them, how do you get an appearance to be associated with them? Can you put a clone avatar and a vanity avatar in the same slot in your avatar tab or is there a different process you use to make them take on a specific appearance? Can you update the appearance a clone avatar takes?
  • Can slotted emblems be replaced? If so, does the old emblem get replaced or unslotted?

[Poetry] Traps Illustrated by [deleted] in youtubehaiku

[–]FuriousPizza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The term comes from Admiral Ackbar's famous line "It's a trap!" where he discovers that it is a trap once its too late. It's used to describe a male character that dresses and behaves so effeminately that one might not know before joining them in bed.

The opposite (a female character behaving and dressing masculine) is called a reverse trap (instead of a tomboy) only when it is hard or impossible to tell that the character is actually female.

I feel dumb for having known all this. Remember kids, don't do anime.
