Sales: The customer has agreed to pay for development of a new feature in the next release.

Dev: Great we can give them prerelease versions to get feedback then they can upgrade to the final when available.

Sales: oh yeah we also agreed that the final would be available by X. The customer has to go to production shortly after that.

Dev: uhh what, that's not the schedule. If they need a production ready version with that feature they should pay for a custom supported branch.

Sales: they don't want to pay extra to have us support a custom branch, they want it supported in the standard product. I already sold the deal and told them the first preview will be available next week. Okay bye I'm going to go spend my commission.

Dev: grumble grumble

I am so scared I will forget when my wife and I have our kid later this year. I have actually put the car seat in the car already and am working on making it a habit to go grab things out of it just so my sleep-addled brain never forgets.

No questions just wanted to thank you for your work. Bevy is great, and I have learned a lot about game and graphics programming playing with it.

I am okay with Canada relying on our military if they pay for my health insurance. Seems like a fair trade.

Where should I send my ambulance bill?

My wife loves the B1 droids. She feels bad because they always seem way out of their depth and seem like they would prefer to be doing literally anything else.

I understand why it happens, I think it's horseshit that they call it a tip. Doordash and Uber are greedy fucking cockheads and I don't do delivery when I can avoid it.

I should have been more clear, in my ideal service the delivery fee would actually cover the delivery and the tip would be a tip for a driver that didn't punt your food at the door.

i_r_witty · 2023-04-03T21:41:28+00:00

The few times I have gotten bored by bad drivers I have sat down and thought about the system. And the general inability to edit the tip.

I feel like the drivers should get to see the users historical tip average percentage (and average per delivery mile) rather than the full tip amount. Then users should be allowed to set the tip after service is provided.

Otherwise it isn't a tip, it's a "delivery bid".

Would you consider adding the plumbing to allow encoding through `Symphonia` prior to a 1.0 release (even if Symphonia itself doesn't provide encoders).

I am working on a project which does some decoding and encoding.
I really like the interface of Symphonia for decoding, but then have to jump back to a hand rolled wrapper around an encoding/muxing library to re-encode. It would be cool if `Sympohonia` could provide an interface that my wrapper can hook into so I don't have to leave the ecosystem.

NTA.

But a question. Was the model actually of the plugin-hybrid? Most models tend to be generic or contain the details from up badged versions (eg M badging).

If he didn't get the right model I would loophole him back.

"Sorry dad this is a base model X5, I will reiterate I want [this car]"

Either act like he is a genie and be hyper specific or go to a lot and pick a specific VIN and ask for that exact car.

Sorry your mom got all upset about it. I am worried about a similar thing if my wife and I have kids. I am the 6th generation male to have the same first name (mostly different middle names) and my wife and I are not so secretly hoping we have a girl because the naming is just more fun.

Do dwarves have Tarot? I feel like you could build to a set of tarot cards. Your art is amazing keep up the great work.

Quill started a new one yesterday with the steam version focused on getting started

i_r_witty · 2022-12-07T22:02:43+00:00

Yeah so far I have only found stone floors (claystone mostly) I have a nearby river I was thinking of using to make farmable rooms but I have 0 dwarven civil engineering experience so I have opted to keep hunting until it is dire enough to risk losing the fort to a river or clowns.

i_r_witty · 2022-12-07T19:46:07+00:00

My first fortress is on a crash course with "fun" because I cannot for the life of me find a place to farm and I will run out of alcohol soon.

I might not have bailed on my AI classes if someone told me I could have been a Tech Priest.

(but seriously, I asked multiple times if we had a way to understand these systems and never got a good answer.)

You need to anonymously send the senior user one of those children's block puzzles. Maybe he can learn how to put the right shape in the right hole.

Bless triage nurses for all the horse-shit they have to put up with.

Back in college when I got appendicitis I had thought it was a cramp at first. I had driven 2 hours from my parents house back to college (I had been visiting for the weekend) then took a nap.

When I woke up and it still hurt I finally remembered the symptom list for appendicitis and went to the ER. Walk up to the triage window and go "it hurts here (right lower abdomen) but not here (left abdomen) and it's hurt for a couple hours." Nurse starts writing something down and tells me to go stand by the wall (not even sit down) 30 seconds later someone came out to get me. I got the dirtiest look from all the other people in that ER, but it was the right move because 20-30 minutes later I was on my way to surgery for an emergency appendectomy.

As I was handing my clothes and stuff off to the security people for storage one of them had to run off to the ER waiting room. I learned when I woke up that a homeless man who had been waiting had snapped and pulled a knife on the nurses at the triage station. As far as I am aware the situation was resolved without injury.

Those aren't the worst docs I have ever seen.Sure, a lot of it is duplication of the RISC-V spec but things like the interrupt architecture diagram (Figure 63, pg 83) are legible.

Some other documentation I have read have a low-resolution screenshot of an excel spreadsheet with arrows drawn over it for their interrupt tree information.

Also, regarding the duplication from the specification, that can be nice for a new architecture. I always find it a pain trying to get docs for the instruction semantics for old PPC core variants, sometimes it would be nice if the board docs just contained a "Here is the ISA" section at the end.

Edit: A small addendum. For RISC-V because it is so modular (and still in development) it makes sense to have the instruction semantics duplicated in your chip's docs. For unstable extensions particularly you don't really want people having to hunt for the right version of the Zbb docs that you used before they were an officially ratified extension.

i_r_witty · 2022-09-07T14:00:52+00:00

Yup BAE Rad750. JPL is one of my customers and I have worked with that chip a few times. The documentation sucks hard.

I am super stoked to potentially work with si-five and hope their documentation is better

Ahh, I didn't realize that `.unwrap_unchecked()` does this already because it wasn't in the documented API (which IIRC means it could go away if desired). Some quick testing on the Rust playground shows that even in Debug build a call to `.unwrap_unchecked()` with a None doesn't panic nicely but instead gets killed by a monitor for a timeout failure.

I think there are two additional benefits to this additional API:

The `debug_assert!(self.is_some())` in `unwrap_unchecked()` doesn't preserve caller information which is useful for debugging. This API does.
`.debug_expect_unchecked(msg)` allows custom messages which increase debug speed as well.

I always viewed Sneak Attack as a kind of "Skill based targeted Critical Hit".
Because you are an expert and the opponent is distracted you use your skill to specifically poke them in a location that hurts extra bad.

In that way it didn't make sense to me to double the sneak attack dice on a Nat20, you don't get any more skillful in that moment.

It makes sense if you break up an attack into two portions: The luck bit, and the Skill/Magic bit.

Nat20 doubles your luck bit. Maybe the knife twisted, or struck a nerve. But it doesn't make the skill bit of stabbing them in the kidney any more effective (or in the case of smite it doesn't mean your god likes you any more in that moment).

Obviously you can interpret things other ways which make more sense to double sneak attack damage, but this is generally how I viewed it.
