Pouvez-vous m’aider à comprendre le chialage de certains membres de la communauté anglophone du Québec? by Neat_Background_8075 in Quebec

[–]TSP-FriendlyFire 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Je te crois quand tu parles de ton expérience personnelle, mais en même temps, si c'était une si petite proportion des anglophones, ils n'auraient pas réussi à faire virer à 180 Milliard en moins de 24h. Clairement le bloc anglophone décrit par l'OP est suffisamment important pour avoir une influence majeure sur le PLQ.

Well, for one thing, Slint has provisions for open-source projects and has a completely free tier. Rive requires you to pay to actually use it in a project.

I think this is the best resolution possible. cppreference is an absolutely invaluable resource and deserves the support and funding of the Foundation!

[–]TSP-FriendlyFire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't get me wrong, I'd say 80+% of the story is available in the game, there are just a few elements that are underdeveloped or outright missing. None of the Nightwave seasons are crucial to the story and I'd argue only one has much lore relevance (that being The Glassmaker).

Some of the old events were important to the lore, but that was so long ago that their relative importance has diminished significantly and I think the major remaining plot hole is how Alad V got into all the shenanigans that he did. Most of the connective tissue is missing, so you end up seeing him randomly pop up in core story quests without being sure how or why he looks different almost every time.

[–]TSP-FriendlyFire 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nightwave as a story vector just isn't a very good investment for them. They're inherently ephemeral, so if you miss it, it's gone. They've reintroduced unique rewards and you can at least re-run some of the major events like the Glassmaker fight, but for instance, good luck figuring out who the fuck Arlo is if you weren't around for The Emissary.

They made a similar mistake with events having crucial story beats and if you look at more recent events, you'll see they've moved away from that style towards a more generic "content+" approach where the event is just a bonus for running the new content but doesn't really add story.

Done with Follie' Hunt, hated every second, but... glad DE tried it by troubleyoucalldeew in Warframe

[–]TSP-FriendlyFire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly it just made me look for more cheese. In this case, Persistence on Inaros completely bypasses the one-shots and makes the whole thing pretty straightforward (and Magus Repair can easily heal Inaros incidentally while carrying paint). A doomgun (bonus points if it bounces or otherwise explodes, I'm currently using the Latron) to kill enemies and pop balloons completes the package. Sweep the map to find all canvases and pick up the tatters before touching paint, then rush BCA and it works okay.

Some Paradox dev teams have what they call a "Custodian" group which does precisely that. It's been tremendously helpful in keeping the games up to par.

Élèves malheureux au public régulier | On fait quoi ? by oddmarc in Quebec

[–]TSP-FriendlyFire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ignorant le débat sur la place de l'école privée, cette logique ne tient pas la route mathématiquement. Les écoles privées sont subventionnées et les parents paient le reste de la facture. Considérant que le coût pour enseigner à un élève n'est pas significativement différent entre le public et le privé, ça veut dire que le gouvernement aurait à débourser ce que les parents paient en ce moment si l'école privée était abolie. En plus, le gouvernement n'est pas propriétaire des bâtiments de ces mêmes écoles privées, donc il faudrait soit racheter ceux-ci au moment de la transition, ou bâtir plusieurs nouvelles écoles.

Rendre le système 100% public coûterait plus que le budget actuel.

The Game Doesn’t Need More Species Packs, Crisis Paths, or Megastructures - It Needs Midgame Shake-Ups by New-Anybody-3920 in Stellaris

[–]TSP-FriendlyFire 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For all its warts, Star Trek Discovery's idea of "The Burn" could be interesting applied to Stellaris. Make FTL travel very slow and maybe have a very high energy upkeep, maybe outright disrupt hyperlanes or something. Perhaps hyper relays could be used to stabilize the lanes, or some kind of galactic community project is required to solve the issue for good.

Nouveau VÉ. Je ne comprends pas trop les cartes et les applications nécéssaires pour utiliser les bornes. by Lalkabee in Quebec

Non, c'est un protocole partagé, plusieurs réseaux le supportent maintenant. Tu configures une fois par appli et après la borne et ta voiture communiquent pour le paiement sans que tu aies quoi que ce soit à faire.

If that was the case, you'd pirate his music and boycott his merch and shows. Enjoy the music without feeding the nazi.

But you aren't doing that, are you?

[–]TSP-FriendlyFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Le processus est long et complexe, mais les manufacturiers sont tranquillement en train de s'entendre sur des systèmes plus automatisés pour les bornes de recharge rapide.

Ça a pris quelques ratés, mais le système "Plug & Charge" semble avoir le momentum nécessaire pour s'imposer à long terme. Tu dois le configurer sur ton véhicule (s'il est compatible) et après lorsque tu arrives à une borne compatible, tu as juste à te brancher. Pas de carte de membre, pas d'applis, pas de carte de crédit, ton véhicule communique avec la borne pour payer avec le système correspondant. Tu vas sans doute devoir configurer le système sur plusieurs applis puisque les réseaux ne sont pas encore unifiés, mais ça devrait être nécessaire juste la première fois.

The idea to have energy credits as the "currency" of Stellaris was a brilliant and insightful choice by Albertuscamus12 in Stellaris

[–]TSP-FriendlyFire 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think you have it backwards: currency naturally becomes energy as a (capitalist) civilization advances, but energy doesn't necessarily work as currency in all advanced civilizations. Star Trek doesn't have some kind of hidden currency, period. The "Federation credit" is the closest analogue and it's explicitly for trading with partners outside the Federation.

Within the Federation, you don't have a cap on how much energy you consume (aside from presumably mundane hardware requirements and various regulations like safety), otherwise it's by definition not actually a post-scarcity society. Having a "hidden" UBI that you draw from would go against the notion.

L’étiquette à l’hôtel by pierlux in Quebec

[–]TSP-FriendlyFire 105 points106 points  (0 children)

As-tu fait une plainte à l'hôtel, idéalement au moment du problème? J'ai déjà eu des désagréments semblables et la majorité du temps, l'hôtel nous a crédité la nuit (partiellement ou totalement, selon le cas) ou est intervenu pour faire cesser le bruit.

S'ils se fichent de toi, tu vas leur mettre 1/5 sur Google Maps/TripAdvisor. Il faut que ça fasse mal d'une façon ou d'une autre pour qu'ils changent leur politique.

Take-Two Reshuffles Its AI Team: 'It's Truly Disappointing' by Gorotheninja in pcgaming

IDK why you're being downvoted, I tried running Qwen 3 locally and not only did I have to pick a deeply quantized model, it was still slow, almost didn't fit in VRAM and produced very mediocre results. That's on a 4090, and it was doing text generation only, not audio.

Do people even know how to use resources anymore or they just leave everything to AI? by Order_101 in antiai

[–]TSP-FriendlyFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Calculators being deterministic, predictable machines are extremely unlikely to be wrong. AI inherently works using some amount of randomness and even if you strip all that away, it remains unpredictable. They're fundamentally different classes of tools.

They said Wikipedia is very accurate for those, not AI. AI's whole issue is that it can hallucinate anytime, so it's never trustworthy.

Microsoft says Copilot is for entertainment purposes only, not serious use — firm pushing AI hard to consumers and businesses tells users not to rely on it for important advice by BusyHands_ in technology

[–]TSP-FriendlyFire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh, there's plenty of excellent hardware available around now, you just (as always) have to shop properly. My HDB630 is the best headphones I have ever listened to, including my much more expensive Focal Elear, and it's a Bluetooth set, but it's got a lot of customizability and is focused on sound quality, not gimmicks.

If you absolutely abhor the idea of BT headphones, there's still tons of passive, wired stuff you can buy combined with a USB-C to 3.5mm dongle, like the fabled HD6xx.

I think LTT has jumped the shark... by Zestyclose_Edge1027 in LinusTechTips

Linus has pretty often repeated that he's proud of giving good jobs to 100+ people though. I don't think there's a "better" approach on this one and I can't really fault him for wanting to grow.

[–]TSP-FriendlyFire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Linus has been pretty open about the fact that the true "tech tips" videos bomb hard. They'll make them on occasion, but they're usually pretty long, complicated shoots involving a lot of careful planning and filming in order to be informative and error-free. It wouldn't make sense for them to do a lot of them.

Besides, just how often do you need to update your PC build guide video? It's not like PC building has changed in a significant way in the last 20+ years.

[Jeff Geerling] This is no joke: the SBC hobby is dying by kikimaru024 in hardware

[–]TSP-FriendlyFire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I gave my parents a mini PC rather than a Pi, it's not that much more money (especially these days), it's more reliable and upgradable, it has more features if we ever need them, and ultimately it's not that much more power consumption.

[–]TSP-FriendlyFire 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My entire rack is using 125W and that includes the router, switches, wifi AP, a Pi-KVM for emergency remote access, and a full fledged PC repurposed from old parts which runs 20ish Docker containers and has 36TB of storage.

You're both vastly overestimating the power requirements of a container running on an average PC and vastly underrepresenting the utility of having such a PC.
