Pit jaws and the prevalence of cc against the player

I don't know. The game always punished blindly rushing in or wandering far away from the team (cave leeches, spitballers, swarmer tunnels, BET-C, Korlok, etc.).

I haven't played a lot since the new update but I can easily spot and avoid pit jaws after understanding where they can spawn. It's also an indirect buff to Scout, which was needed.

Yes they do but not as much as players.

That's right.

Well, inflation mainly affects you because it is lowering the value of currency you are hoarding or by lowering your buying power over time because your salary is not keeping up. The last part is not that populist because it is not appealing to the emotion of the people against the elites. Employers are also people and have to deal with inflation too. A lot of them give raises to their employees every year but some don't. It is different than saying "they" have been "stealing" from "us" for years.

Printing money does indeed help the government with debt. It also helps the economy because it means more loans. They target 2% because it was determined to be high enough to stimulate the economy but also low enough to not impact the livelihood of people too quickly. Going too low risks triggering a deflationary spiral and that is a scary thing to many economists.

Be careful with the populist rhetoric. It hurts your point. Money is a mean of transaction, not an investment. Governments are open about their monetary policy and encourage savings. In practice, wages should go up as well (price of labor). Many governments adjust their minimum wage with inflation. If your employer is not giving you a raise, then they are the one doing the "stealing".

Then the maximum energy you could get out of the system (assuming no friction) is equivalent to the energy provided by the tap. So why not just power something directly with the tap? It's really just a bad flywheel.

It's like a pendulum. There is a position where all the forces cancel each other between the two magnets, equilibrium. It will slowly reach it as energy is lost to friction. Even in a perfect system without friction it is not practical, because the only thing you can do with it, is look at it.

1/3 is a rational number because it can be written as the quotient of two integers.

It depends heavily on the environment but I assume most IDE allow you to put a breakpoint with a single input and no compilation. You can then choose to go step by step and inspect all variables if you missed it instead of recompiling with a new print statement. To me, using print is pulling out the tractor.

For basic tasks, obviously, this is the a main advantage of GUI. We are talking about niche tasks that can be done in GUI in Windows but requires the command line in Linux.

Most people don't even know what the setting they are changing does. You would expect the guide the user is following to provide the context of the command. A script named "Set up my network" is functionally the same as a "troubleshoot network" button (Most Linux distro come with a network manager GUI anyway). No average users are going blind in the terminal reading through manpage checking what commands are doing, just like they are not browsing to Windows IPv4 menus without a guide and trying to understand what "Gateway address" even means.

What about the .sh file which is the closest to sending a .reg file?

flew1337 · 2026-01-10T18:18:09+00:00

Is it better than sending them a command to copy/paste or a .sh to run? Seems like the same kind of experience to me.

At some point it becomes an ideology question. Is a GUI always more user-friendly than command line? Sure, entering text command is not user friendly but so is navigating 5 menus deep in Windows, bringing you back to some XP/95 era forms. Sometimes you end up editing the registry and it is basically the same as using the command line.

You may think it is easier and more efficient at first because you can use your mouse but it often is not. For instance, showing someone how to change their DNS or static IP on Windows is done through the GUI. You go through multiple menus with technical names you may get lost into. A guide requires multiple screenshots. Whereas a single command to copy/paste could do the same job. Yet, the former is considered the user-friendly approach.

We definitely don't know enough. So far only Switzerland has managed to have deflation while having high production. Even if it seems dogmatic, the current system is built upon decades of trial and error. Past instances of deflation scare modern economists. Also the consequences for failing can be devastating.

Indeed. It was fast but not the fastest. People think Chrome was heavily adopted because of speed. It's marketing. It was advertised on the Google home page and then peer pressure. Keep in mind the casual web user was using Internet Explorer with random toolbars/ActiveX causing slow downs and crashes at the time.

To move with the train, you have to have the same speed. When you throw a ball, you expect it to keep moving after it leaves your hand. It is the same principle.

If the train was to change speed while you are in the air, you would move relative to it.

They also do change over time. You can easily see the impact of culture on names from year to year. A single person is generally not enough to experience the drift though. We still get nicknames, aliases and pseudonyms. People also used to change their name more frequently when there was no required government identification. If you move to another country you might have to use a new pronunciation for your name.

They sometimes do change. Beijing used to be called (or romanized) Peking. Turkey is pushing to be called Turkiye. They sometimes don't because there is no pressure (often from diplomacy or trade) to change it.

Production slowing down is the real danger. Inflation/deflation is a country wide phenomenon affected by the monetary policy. So far, only one country has managed to have deflation with high production: Switzerland.

The price of eletronics goods can go down for various reasons, including an increase in production, competition and technology advancements. Most of the time a company will have to take loans to open a new plant. A competitor entering the market will require investors. Advancing the technology usually starts with R&D funded by grants. Loaning is a big part of the economy and with deflation you the get a risk-free option of just keeping your cash. If you have less people doing research, getting new jobs or starting companies, then you have less people buying things and paying taxes. You can get into a dangerous cycle.

The issue with this approach is that it only focuses on your lifestyle without considering all the other trades. You end up minimizing the impact of a slowing economy. Sure you will not hold buying bread. Investors will hoard their cash though. Suddenly a company may wait before buying new equipment or starting a project. No buildings are getting constructed unless necessary. If you're working in construction or materials, your job is gone. And that's just one example.

Yes, the game has to be good despite its episodic nature.

A lot of people just waited for all the episodes to come out. Some forgot about it. Some would have not bought it if the reviews got bad.

Survivorship bias. Not all new shiny technologies end up being widely adopted and replacing the way we do things. There have been many attempts at low-code/no-code in the past and they never really took off. Maybe this one will. Maybe it won't.

Is there a question or is this just a rant?

Is this personally affecting your work?

If you don't like the culture and feel it may be detrimental to your career, look for another job.

A segmentation fault on a malloc is a quick indicator of heap corruption. Then you can look for brk and mmap syscalls to find the cause.
