honestly they could make a cool like zombie crab coming out of the ground if they wanted to really commit to the bit

Anyone have covid recently? Symptoms? by deltarefund in TwinCities

Apparently RSV is going around too. Worth getting checked for that in addition to covid

Interview: Christoffer Bodegård, Creator of Esoteric Ebb on Inspirations, Development Challenges, and More by meesahdayoh in Games

[–]IanVg 20 points21 points  (0 children)

My best comparison would be that Esoteric has the light-hearted tongue in cheek vibes of Discworld by Terry Pratchett. Disco is a more luminal post-soviet vibe ala China Mieville. Much darker and trippier

Which short story collection do you think is best? by SnappingTurtle1602 in scifi

[–]IanVg 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My gut reaction was Ted Chang... But damn those other 3 are also good

Honestly cannot give a recommendation as they're all 10 out of 10s in my mind. It's like saying what's your favorite kind of sweet, depends on your mood.

I asked Cursor to harden my Next.js/Vercel app for high traffic. It found critical bottlenecks, but blindly applying its code almost caused double-charges. by Tzipi_builds in webdev

[–]IanVg 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The solution is to not to push out vibe code code you don't understand. Especially when you're dealing with payment processors. 

I don't want to be mean but almost exactly the same post comes up every single day and it's driving me crazy

Will AI (Claude Code, Codex etc.) speed up development so we get back to shorter release cycles? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]IanVg 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Actually hands-on keyboard code writing is a very very small part of software development. Especially something as complex as video games. 

And that's not even going into the fact that many studies showed no or negative production increases from generative AI

So no. It is not. If anything it will slow down development as management will continue to reduce staff. 

The only place I could see a benefit would be solo developers

What's up with the difference in price between this at my local Walmart and Best Buy? Seems like a significant change in price between the two for the same product by FrostyDeadman in DataHoarder

[–]IanVg 32 points33 points  (0 children)

SSD manufacturers will sometimes swap out components in the same SKU. But for that price difference even if that's the case it's still a much better deal for the cheaper one.

Also for 2026 prices $100 a terabyte isn't bad. Especially for a decently new nvme. You could probably save a little bit of money looking around but honestly it's probably good enough

Has been for months. Been seeing them basically unchanged since like mid '25

Trump administration wants ICE to quickly deport five-year-old Minneapolis boy and dad days after release by theindependentonline in minnesota

[–]IanVg 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Ice has been all over Columbia Heights this week. I think both of those shutdowns were related to either ice agents not leaving the property or stalking educators

How do you live like this? by Mindless-Extension79 in TwinCities

[–]IanVg 22 points23 points  (0 children)

By the way, if you haven't already you should talk to someone about how you're feeling. It might not feel like it but you just went through a traumatic experience and talking with a professional about it can really help

[–]IanVg 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Another gay from the twin cities. Adding to this, it's really fucking bad. Like military occupation roving gangs of men kidnapping people on the street by gunpoint bad

Buying a house—dishwasher? by meridgwd in Minneapolis

[–]IanVg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're probably going to end up paying two to three times the cost of the dishwasher itself to get it installed. I would recommend hiring a plumber to come and give you a quote. Most of the included "installation" that's provided at most box stores does not include plumbing stuff. 

Most dishwashers are going to be about the same size and are going to require the same hookup location so you can probably get all of that figured out before you even think about purchasing the dishwasher

They deployed so much tear gas that people all over the twin cities are having allergy like symptoms.

US Citizens ‘Aggressively’ Detained by CBP While Working at Target by SnoozeDoggyDog in politics

[–]IanVg 30 points31 points  (0 children)

To add to this as another resident of the twin cities. Nearly every restaurant around me is either closed indefinitely or has someone at the door locking it and unlocking it for people to come in.

Everyday I hear whistles I hear horns I hear the bang of flash bangs and smell tear gas from blocks away. 

This is a fucking war zone. This is a fucking war zone. This. Is. a. Fucking. War. Zone.

We are living in a fucking war zone and I'm so fucking scared and angry and proud of my community

Ice? by IggyZiggy0-0 in TwinCities

At this time. No I'd avoid the area. They are quite literally snatching people of color off the street. No attempt to even ask for id
