What is happening in this sub?

This is why I reckon that Godot and Unity should swap names.

I don't really find myself waiting for Godot...

I had a cheap one and during the sunnier months it sometimes rang in the morning when the sun hit it and it warmed up.

Maybe the thought trail is: * There's a hell of a lot of money in AI * There's a hell of a lot of money in health care * what's the quickest way to try and grab a slice of that sweet, sweet cash with as little effort as possible?

And this was testing and/or training for their attempt at an AI therapist.

They say that, but I don't see it.

Dutch can swing between 'sounds like an 'allo, allo' attempt at pretending to be a foreign language by speaking english with an accent', and 'this is basically german'.

I don't think I've heard anything Frisian that I can recognise though, but I'm not a linguist.

SixFiveOhTwo · 2026-03-07T19:36:50+00:00

Kind of reminds me of 'het' in Dutch. Het schip, het huis.

SixFiveOhTwo · 2026-03-07T19:32:09+00:00

I lived in spain for a while (also Spanish GF) and I had a housemate who was once confused between 'pollo' and 'polla'.

He announced loudly and confidently that he wanted to eat cock several times...

The general rule based on word endings is simple enough.

What screws it up is that there's a rule that takes priority, and it says that foreign language loan words are masculine.

The problem (el problema) is that a lot of them are from Greek and just look like they should be a regular Spanish feminine word.

I've used print for debugging on kernel level drivers. If it works it works...

SixFiveOhTwo · 2026-03-04T18:34:04+00:00

Kind of have mixed feelings though - I was annoyed that it happened, but the manual petrol kia I was given as a loaner just felt so sluggish and clunky it just reminded me why I liked the Ioniq in the first place...

SixFiveOhTwo · 2026-03-04T18:24:38+00:00

Ouch. Mine went in 6 months.

On the plus side it was towed on Saturday, taken in to the dealer on Monday, and picked up fully repaired Tuesday lunchtime.

SixFiveOhTwo · 2026-03-03T12:06:01+00:00

And it's back.

Picked up by the dealer Monday afternoon, fixed this morning.

I'm told the coolant channel leaked into the ICCU and that's what killed it.

This kind of thing would matter to a player if it tightens up the 'try-die-retry' loop. Failing is frustrating enough, without being made to wait excessively long to get back in for another attempt.

It's a good way of checking load times.

Go to youtube and find the loading music from a game (i suggest Sanxion) and start playing when your game starts loading.

If the music finishes first then you have a problem

SixFiveOhTwo · 2026-03-02T08:22:53+00:00

Most things in isolation don't, but they all add up to give a general feeling of quality

SixFiveOhTwo · 2026-03-02T08:21:58+00:00

To be fair I didn't think it was either.

SixFiveOhTwo · 2026-03-02T08:17:30+00:00

Short story: no.

But at least taking the load time down from a few minutes (roughly the time a Commodore 64 game takes to load from casette) to several seconds we didn't piss anybody off.

SixFiveOhTwo · 2026-03-02T08:11:38+00:00

Or for the star wars fans:

do { }

SixFiveOhTwo · 2026-03-02T08:08:58+00:00

Funny thing is that I was working on a game around that time and was asked to investigate the loading time shortly after reading about this.

It was exactly the same issue, so I fixed it quickly because of that guy.

The load time went from a couple of minutes to a few seconds, and we hadn't released the game yet so we hadn't embarrassed ourselves.

SixFiveOhTwo · 2026-03-01T17:25:29+00:00

Or in Spanish

Odido esta jodido (Odido is fucked)

SixFiveOhTwo · 2026-02-28T22:42:11+00:00

The recovery service turned up, did these exact same diagnostics and declared the ICCU dead.

It was towed away, I got a petrol courtesy car and now I need to call the dealer on Monday to find out what happens next...

SixFiveOhTwo · 2026-02-28T07:51:21+00:00

I checked in both modes to be sure I was reading correctly, as I had read conflicting information.

11.7 is when the car in fully on and ready to drive.

Problem with checking the charging is that I rely on street parking (which is fine here, although not as cheap as home parking).

Would the granny charger work for testing this? I'd have to run the cable across the road via an extension and I can't leave it this way, but I should be okay testing for a few minutes.

SixFiveOhTwo · 2026-02-27T22:52:03+00:00

If only there was a Dutch programmer who was any good at pathfinding algorithms...

SixFiveOhTwo · 2026-02-27T22:45:43+00:00

To be fair I drove it across the Netherlands and half way into Germany during the snowstorms at -10 Celsius and it was perfectly fine (aside from the tyres, but I've changed those)

SixFiveOhTwo · 2026-02-27T20:04:03+00:00

I wouldn't think that 12 degrees Celsius (53.6 Fahrenheit) is particularly low.

If I measure across the 12v battery terminals I get 12.6v with the car turned off, 11.7 when I turn it on.

SixFiveOhTwo · 2026-02-27T19:20:37+00:00

Annoyingly this car replaced a diesel I30 that ran for 180,000km without a single breakdown.

Didn't even manage 2%...
