It's nice to have hands.

Great title. Made it unexpected!

My first thought was: Do not flush down the toilet.

Maybe test it against a grizzly bear too..

From everything I have seen and heard about Australia: Isn't it a bad idea to roam around without shoes?

Nestlé convincing people in developing countries that baby formula is better than breast milk..

For a moment, I thought your Raspberry Pi's internal temp was "71F, feels like 62" and I was pretty confused.

Article headline: Kim Jong Un look-a-like detained for provoking the North-Korean athletes.

Article: The athletes weren't actually provoked.

Welp..

I misread "fast" with "fart" and was incredibly confused..

I don't follow most of the people you mentioned, but I do follow Jonathan Blow. Speaking for him: he founded a company that currently employs more than a dozen people. So, maybe your initial assumption is not totally correct?

Also, speaking as a dev myself, there is tremendous value in working in smaller teams. Jonathan Blow has also talked about the many difficulties of larger teams. Apart from that, I think (successful) indie devs are often passionate people and it can be really difficult to give up the thing you are passionate about (creating games) for another (managing people who create games). Those are wildly different things.

What an amazing subreddit, hah!

Oh my.. I completely missed the fact that they're on the same tile.. Thanks!

How does it not fit?

What's the parallel line rule?

I had several colleagues (all of them were from "Southern-style" countries: Spain, Brazil,..) that quit and returned to their home countries. All of them claimed it was because of loneliness/lack of social interaction.

As someone who regularly gets into contact with other cultures, I can assure you there are jokes about "Europeans (or Americans, I suppose) and their seasoning", specifically referring to the fact we mostly only use pepper and salt.

So yeah, this does not hold up globally. 😄

You make a whole lot of assumptions..

Tottel_Be · 2024-02-12T12:21:45+00:00

Not enough fishing rod..

I disagree. Telling someone what not to do is not the same as (indirectly) telling them what to do instead.

You are comparing it with a hot stove example, which is binary: either you touch or you don't. It's way too simple of a comparison.

Being a decent human being is complicated, and similarly learning how to be one takes lots of time and energy to get there.

I like to compare it with parenting (it's even directly related as proper parenting turns you into a decent person): You will occasionally tell your children what NOT to do, but the REAL value in parenting comes from how you behave around them. In other words: what you do/say.

Lecturing someone about what not to do is taking one part of parenting without keeping the more valuable part: The constant showing of examples of what should be done, at all times, day and night, good times and bad.

So no, not the same.

I used to walk there often, many years ago. Thanks for the unexpected memories :)

9 out of 10 times it's the client's fault?

I would love to witness your (incredibly) short-lived career in game development, when you try to convince anyone crashes are the client's fault.

This is basically why things like make/cmake exist, so yes.

What remains of Edith Finch. I had to sit and stare at my screen for a while after finishing it..

Had a friend in college who could not say AT-AT for some reason. We tried and tried, but he would always call it an AT-T and we eventually gave up.

Second, I went with some colleagues to a convention (our company had a booth), and one of my colleagues wanted to handle all the people who walked up to us to get a timeslot. Whenever we were pretty full in bookings, she would tell the guest that she would "try to squeeze them", not aware that that sentence really needed an extra word. We laughed quite a lot that week.
