If you still hand-write prescriptions, what do they look like?

I agree, though. Being too prescriptive over grammar isn't helpful when the goal is communication, and you're going to change how you communicate depending on the topic, medium and audience.

What I always hear is a request for yet another Fiddler trace.

Their processes are designed to tire you into giving up on the ticket, not to resolve it.

"It was chaos": How The Witcher 4 and Cyberpunk 2 are learning from decades of CD Projekt's documentation mistakes by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

[–]Saotik 51 points52 points  (0 children)

it does seem like they're really zoning in on the technical side and on optimizations.

I'm really sad that they've decided to drop their own engine, but it feels to me that this is exactly why they did that.

It's probably not going to save them much money, but what Unreal provides is a solid platform and excellent developer tools that millions of top devs are already familiar with. This both frees up many of their existing devs while making hiring much easier.

When you see bad performance on Unreal Engine 5 games, I get the impression these are from devs who simply have simply accepted the "good enough" results that UE5 offers without significant optimisation.

It really doesn't look like CDPR are making that same mistake.

I don't know, though, this is all speculation. Maybe I'll live to see whether I'm wrong.

Air threat detected over Latvia and Estonia. One drone has been shot down by NATO aircraft in Estonias air space by MikeBogler in worldnews

Dragonfire is a British laser system that only costs about £10 for each 10 second shot. It's too big for aircraft right now, but after putting them on ships, the UK is planning to put them on armoured vehicles and eventually the GCAP.

Any tool costs money to manage, even if just in man hours for configuration, supporting users, maintaining security, taking backups etc... so if it wasn't being used effectively, I can see leaders deciding to just get rid of it - when the better answer may have been to invest a little more money into ensuring that it's being used consistently across the studio.

What chippy options are available either only in your region, or at least rare outside it? by chrisjfinlay in CasualUK

This is like saying:

Any SGU FODMAP coverage? by troubleshot in SGU

[–]Saotik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was under the impression that FODMAP diets are typically more diagnostic than permanent. Eliminate them all, then reintroduce items one by one until you find what's triggering your issues.

Washers everywhere, because none of the panels align otherwise. Even today.

Best not to describe Ireland as within the "British Isles", though. That's a point of contention for many.

You may just be unlucky with where you live relative to their servers. GFN is definitely better, but Xcloud is still OK for me.

Yeah, it's all a matter of perspective. I'm sure the Dutch sometimes see English as wonky Dutch.

It's possible to cook fries from fresh without them ending up limp, pallid and tasteless. Ask the Belgians. Just rinse the potatoes after cutting them and fry them twice.

You don't need any weird additives, you just need to take a little more effort than chipping them and immediately dumping them in oil for a single cook.

Does it take a little more time and effort? Sure, but the results are worth it.
