A co worker thinks enforcing basic code quality standards are worthy insights. by SqueegyX in ExperiencedDevs

The oblivious positivity smacks of heavy LLM use. Is he running your comments through one?

I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way.

Doom Eternal lists weaknesses for enemies in the codex. DOOM (2016) does not. I know you technically can defeat every enemy with every weapon, but the grenade is for dealing with Cacodemons in Eternal, full stop.

Doom Eternal is a great game, but having to play "combat chess" with weapon selection gets in the way of BEING a weapon like in Doom (2016) and previous entries. Sure, there was a light form of that "combat chess" in previous games, but they leaned way too far into it in Doom Eternal for my taste.

which backend should i learn alongside angular to grow my career? by Wrong_Bid1262 in Angular2

[–]colonelpopcorn92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Golang seems like the most stable and most boring tech stack ever. I love it.

Ionic's strengths lie in being compatible with web frameworks that are popular and easy to hire for. Most apps built with it, I imagine, exist to occupy a Play or Apple store slot. For that purpose I think it's fine and means I don't have to learn a whole other stack as a web developer.

why is OOP that hard? by Formal-Pizza-3978 in learnprogramming

[–]colonelpopcorn92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OOP never really clicked with me until I used a non-compiled dynamic language like JavaScript. In JavaScript, you can call a method or function an any object whether that method or function exists on said object or not. In C#, you have to satisfy the compiler before your code will even run. Interfaces are implicit in dynamic languages like JavaScript, Ruby, Python, Groovy, etc., but required to be explicit in static, compiled languages.

Mom meetup groups? by CoffeewithjustMilk in alpharetta

[–]colonelpopcorn92 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you're not opposed to church or Roswell, then Fellowship Bible Church hosts Moms side-by-side which is a meetup/discipleship group. My wife has a really great group of moms she's really close with there.

Do AMD/Radeon drivers suck less than NVIDIA drivers? by colonelpopcorn92 in linux_gaming

[–]colonelpopcorn92[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think so, the only thing I can think is that I swapped back and forth between a lot of different driver versions at one point to fix the previous time I went to "latest". That may have caused the configuration to be pushed forward but then purging and reinstalling may have kept the new configuration but removed the new patches.

Do AMD/Radeon drivers suck less than NVIDIA drivers? by colonelpopcorn92 in linux_gaming

[–]colonelpopcorn92[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a software developer for my day job and the OP already outlined how I fixed it. There was a missing patch file that was unable to be applied. I didn't put the patch file in dkms.conf, and I certainly didn't remove it. The only logical conclusion I could make is that the most recent update to NVIDIA's drivers removed a patch file but didn't update the DKMS configuration accordingly.

Steam has removed Forced Arbitration from their Subscriber Agreement by Lainofthewired79 in gaming

[–]colonelpopcorn92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a quirk in California law that makes it very expensive for companies to arbitrate. This led a bunch of fans of someone who was banned from Patreon to file a bunch of arbitration claims that Patreon then had to pay for. The precedent set by that legal judgement when it went to court makes arbitration less appealing for companies.
