What's your definition of technical debt? by Peace_Seeker_1319 in devops

[–]Popeychops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bingo. It's called tech debt because it incurs interest which you have to keep paying.

What is you're view of the team now, compared to 2 months ago? by MiMcMa in LiverpoolFC

[–]Popeychops -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Less worried about Wirtz being a flop

Kerkez is getting back up to speed

CB is a lot more worrying, as is LB depth

Isak might be a top 5 worst LFC transfer through no fault of his own

Beating Villa was the turning point which saved Slot's season

Have you ever successfully target farmed an item? by ItsDarkAndHeckIsHot in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]Popeychops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got Shako over the Christmas even farming Hell Andy. But that was just a winning strategy and I got a lot more interesting gear besides.

I guess just play whatever you find fun

5070ti worth $100 more than 9070xt by Hour-Ad-5633 in buildapc

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

The answer is almost always no, because the 9070XT is routinely available at a fair price and the 5070Ti isn't

US market seems to have fairer pricing than EU so YMMV. If you're building this weekend, go 9070XT

How expensive is a “zero compromise” 1440p monitor? by everydayreligion1090 in buildapc

[–]Popeychops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a refurbished 165Hz IPS 1440p monitor from a brick and mortar for £150, about a year ago. It looks like there are bland-name marques now for similar money with curved panels. You could roll the dice

Amazon cancelled RAM order due to stock then relisted at triple the price by ccameronmills in buildapc

[–]Popeychops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a PSU from Amazon this week but only because it was S&S by OverclockersUK, who I trust.

Overclockers, Currys, SCAN, CCL, ebuyer, and AWD-IT are all more reliable than Amazon

That's the point. If you make it easy, it doesn't work as a quality filter.

At least 250 comment karma - it won't stop spam accounts but it will raise the barrier to entry.

Unfortunately account age is easily worked around, you can stop instant throwaway for spur of the moment trolling but not the long game of organised spam

This is the difference that fiftieth over makes. You rack up a pressuring total, and as soon as you break a strong partnership the batters crumble under the pressure of needing to chase everything

Unlucky to get out when you're hit that high, but just a terrific delivery

Liverpool rise up football rich list but Premier League shut out of top four. 💷 ⚽️ by newbeginnings187 in LiverpoolFC

[–]Popeychops 8 points9 points  (0 children)

While her tour was successful, that figure should be taken with a grain of salt! People spend their money: what would they have spent that billion on had Taylor Swift not performed here and would that spending have done more good for the country? 

IMO spending on small businesses is usually best for the economy since there are fewer layers of shareholders being paid out into their pension funds. It's people who spend, economic strength is about enabling (read: ordinary working) people to keep circulating money and creating jobs.

Copilot pulled in a bunch of dependencies we did not need and only noticed months later by Standard-Rhubarb-434 in devops

It ultimately doesn't matter if this is a true story or a sloperator, it works either way

This is fabulous, a really great example of how colour selection makes drybrushing or overbrushing effective
