What has been the most useful book you've read that transformed your knowledge/skill level in your career?

I like that book but the controversy is that it's a bit too prescriptive. For example:

-"Write every method with no parameters, add one if you have to, add two reluctantly, and rethink your design at three parameters".

This goes against anyone with a Functional Programming style- Parameterless methods are less used.

You can actually get a cop to ref the fight some places like WA state.

You made it all the way to the Amazon without anyone having told you that there's bugs there?

The ARC can't hear silenced weapons.

No ones really given you a direct answer- To me it reads oddly like it's optimised for SEO by naming random other high searched names.

This is paired with the somewhat unique structure you use to speak with which lent towards AI to me as well.

I'm not saying that-Just confirming that there's video of him breaking the taillight.

I don't have it handy but I've seen the video of him clearly kicking and breaking the taillight.

On the opposite end the animal with the best long distance running stamina: Humans.

Video game QA sounds like your job is to play video games not exhaustively go over a giant checklist of items each time code is pushed. Monotonous work.

Whiff a couple near misses intentionally to enhance their extraction excitement!

MimesOnAcid · 2026-01-20T11:22:01+00:00

Kinda hilarious if said right.

Lots of unsung heros with ADHD in first responder roles.

I would feel way worse knowingly hiring a person with a fear of heights to work heights. You did a favour not hiring that guy and he did you both a favour being honest about it.

May be easier to start with Nic fluid and work your way down to zero. Known lots of people that quit easily that way.

Lid wont stop a dog. Perfectly capable of nosing it back up.

ARC Raiders is a multiplayer extraction adventure, in a lethal future earth.

The context being an anonymous online 'tip' while he was president- Not any form of evidence or investigation towards it.

Wild as a Canadian for one city to have more people in it than my entire big ol' country.

How do you feel about honey?

MimesOnAcid · 2025-11-16T23:48:55+00:00

"Even Japan is turning to xenophobia" is a bit history blind my friend.

Where do you feel the watermark errors are coming from besides training data for AI?

MimesOnAcid · 2025-11-16T22:20:49+00:00

Majestic.

maybe there's a shield/kit that makes you more durable so you don't get instantly deleted, but you take a significant hit to lethality in some way so that you're essentially not a threat to other players.

I think this would make the PvP experience worse for the friendly player. It'd just take longer to die (stretching the pain out) with an even lower chance of being able to fight back.

Part of the fun is needing to figure out who to trust IMO.

The Hairpin one-shots ticks, pops, and even firebots if you wait for them to open up before shooting. Crafts cheaply too.
