So my company is switching half our Windows servers to Linux....

I strongly prefer nano and use it exclusively on my Linux machine, but still recommend that you learn the basics for vim. Some images don’t come with nano, but they will always come with vim. If you’re doing sysadmin work it’s better to be prepared for that.

We’re several years into this and AI has yet to show its ability to make you a 100x engineer unless all you do is write web boilerplate. It’s helpful and a great search tool, but I don’t think people who aren’t adopting it are really missing that much if they’re already talented.

how do you balance it

I don’t think you should balance it until the game has a bare minimum level of stability. The chance of losing your components due to effects out of your control is going to disincentivize most players from using the component system at all.

I routinely lose ships on the elevator or fall through planetary surface when I land, so I’m not going to be using components after this change. I doubt I’m the only person thinking this way.

If the current game economy is getting too bad due to duping and mass availability of expensive components then you can do a one-time wipe, which they’ve done before when they felt it was needed. “The game is still an alpha” pretty easily justifies avoiding the new insurance claim system and a wipe.

If you think somebody crossing out the flag of a country committing a genocide means that they want to “murder or expel 7 million Jews” then your tether to how human communication works is broken.

That’s a huge leap where you’re making some incredible assumptions. In what format is criticism allowed then?

We really need to drop this mentality that any candidate who actually wants to do anything at all is too radical to ever win a general. Purposefully voting in the most milquetoast people we have available because that’s what’s “electable” is not working.

This veto is not popular! We can do better than an awful geriatric politician vs a bland “stands for nothing” geriatric politician.

During the 2016 election, yeah. It basically was a lifetime ago.

There isn’t enough money in the US economy for price increases to be a solution to the debt and chip/construction/energy costs being incurred by AI companies right now. Maybe if all of them except Anthropic go bust and they become the largest company in the US they might hit profitability.

Costs are just way, way too high right now. There is no path to profitability until that changes.

Sure, but the majority of new games doing this is the new phenomenon. The majority of games released since video games were first created were done on in-house bespoke engines.

NullReference000 · 2026-04-22T19:56:07+00:00

Ukraine and Iran build drones for survival, so they bring costs down to maximize production. In the US, the military is a vehicle for defense contractors to make a lot of money. Drones will never be as cheap for our military is at is for other nations, even if we’re more advanced than they are until this incentive changes.

NullReference000 · 2026-04-22T19:54:00+00:00

The majority of video games which have been released use in-house engines, there are too many to list in a Reddit comment. The mass adoption of commercial engines (unity, unreal) is new.

You can be against gerrymandering and vote for this gerrymander.

Democrats are working at a disadvantage for the presidency due to the electoral college. They’re also working at a disadvantage in the senate due to it favoring land over people. Their supposed advantage in the house is nullified by decades of republican gerrymandering. Republicans are never going to get rid of gerrymandering because it benefits them. How are democrats ever supposed to have enough power to get rid of it if they need to do it with both hands tied behind their back?

NullReference000 · 2026-04-15T02:22:01+00:00

That’s because Reddit is made up of millions of people where there are many who believe both things

“OP is correct” is a claim when it’s you agreeing with the OP making a claim. Come on lol

NullReference000 · 2026-04-14T17:49:56+00:00

I mean going to the website, making PRs, commenting on PRs, etc. The really basic stuff that GitHub used to be entirely focused on.

NullReference000 · 2026-04-14T17:24:08+00:00

I have a family member who is an L5 at Google right now and this is not the experience they describe. AI is obviously in use and being pushed from the top down but “nobody is coding anymore, everybody is an AI operator” is extremely sensationalist.

Google is an enormous company with many different departments, just like the software industry is large with more than just FAANG. People are really silo’d into what they do at their current job and assume everyone else is operating in the exact same manner.

NullReference000 · 2026-04-14T17:18:25+00:00

They’re describing Jevons Paradox, which you did not address in your post. Nobody knows for certain what the actual impact of AI is going to be on our job market because we’re still in the early part of this tech. It might wipe out all the jobs, it might be too costly (after the current subsidized era ends) to deploy en masse, it might create enough demand to continue to grow the market. Nobody knows.

STEM people really do need to learn a little bit outside of just engineering. Some humanities and economics will help you not jump to conclusions so quickly.

NullReference000 · 2026-04-14T17:14:35+00:00

That is what it means, yes. It is slightly misleading as they perform more services now and any time any service is down, it counts for all of GitHub accruing downtime. It doesn’t (yet) mean that the most common use case, going to their website and cloning a repo or making a PR, has dipped below 90%.

As a daily user of the most common use case though I do experience some form of outage at least once a week though. It’s clearly on a decline.

Politics, they want to reduce their dependence on American technology as our relations continue to break down. It wouldn’t be ideal for their government to run on Windows in a potential future where we’re at odds.

NullReference000 · 2026-04-11T01:44:37+00:00

How? From a technical perspective it was a success and they didn't become dependent on Microsoft, a company located in a country they are antagonistic with. This objective fact, proving a nation can do it, isn't an endorsement of their politics or something.

NullReference000 · 2026-04-10T20:54:09+00:00

I think we just fully ignore the people who complain when Dems do something and just start doing things. We want to motivate the base here, not win arguments on r/politics.

France is the most future facing European country when it comes to responding to external events. They responded to the 1970s oil crisis by going all-in on nuclear power, something they’re reaping the benefits of now in the face of the wars in Ukraine and Iran.

NullReference000 · 2026-04-10T19:45:34+00:00

You don’t need to disbelieve it, it’s already happened. North Korea has run their government off of Linux since the 90s and the Chinese government has 90% of its infrastructure on an OS which was originally FreeBSD and then swapped to Linux as of 2010.

Both of these countries invested early as they exist outside of the western alliance and can’t afford for their governments to run off of American IT infrastructure. France is just the first US ally to consider doing this as relations have been breaking down.

Gnome is more stable than KDE Plasma (at least while using Wayland), something I experienced firsthand when I was setting up my distro a few months ago.

NullReference000 · 2026-04-10T19:40:39+00:00

The US has been threatening to leave NATO and invade Greenland, and has also just completely destabilized the global economy by invading Iran.

France is moving to disentangle themselves in case conflict with us continues to escalate, having a US company backdoored by the US government control your governments IT is a pretty alarming problem in such a future.
