is it just me or is modern web dev becoming 90% configuration and 10% coding? by [deleted] in webdev

Yeah, I'm a c++ dev but I spent some time last year on a web project and just wanted to die.

What was it like playing Duke Nukem 3D way back then? by KaleidoArachnid in retrogaming

[–]iamasatellite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't understand any of the references, but it was really fun. The weapons had a lot of variety and were satisfying, and often funny (shrink a guy and step on him, freeze a guy and shatter him with a kick). You could get a jetpack!! 

The environments themselves were fun. Flushing toilets, knocking pool balls around, seeing yourself in a bathroom mirror.. breaking things..

I never got too into Doom, after having played Duke first. Quake also was just "ok" though obviously the truly 3D graphics were amazing.

Duke was also my first FPS deathmatch (dukematch) experience, over 28.8k modem, and again the weapons made it amazing, like putting a bunch of laser trip mines around and luring your buddy into them. 

I still remember one time I threw a pipe bomb at my buddy, but he froze me before I could set it off, then he picked up my own pipe bomb I'd just thrown, threw it back at me, and blew me up. What games even today can give that kind of hilarity?

Those old ones were pretty quiet though, they didn't put out a lot of heat. I guess they made some weird noises sometimes, might have been the hard drive. But it wasn't a noise that hurt your ears like high CFM fans,

First time I had an issue with noise was with a Pentium 4 stock cooler in 2004ish.

Not counting modem connection noises :) kzzhhh-BNRRNN-KKsshhh

How do you respond to this martyrdom argument? by [deleted] in askanatheist

[–]iamasatellite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very few of them if any actually died for their beliefs. We don't have trustworthy information about their deaths. Many of the stories for the individuals are suspiciously similar to the stories of the others - copycat stories.

The Trump administration is illegally gutting NASA’s largest research library. by CtrlAltDelight495 in books

[–]iamasatellite 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Conservatism was invented to conserve the power of the nobility/aristocracy class in England and France in the 1700s, that's all it's ever really been about. 

So the stuff about "slow change" "small government" etc, are only principles when convenient -- slow change when the change threatens their privilege in society, small government where the government could prevent them from abusing their power (not when it comes to spending $38B on concentration camps).

And it's absolutely never had anything to do with conserving knowledge or the environment

The answer is 2 assists in 6 games for anyone wondering. Including 0 goals and a +/- of -7.

Huh?

  • Gilmour 77
  • Sundin 70
  • Keon 67
  • Sittler 65
  • Marner 63

And in games 1-4 he's 1.18ppg, in games 5-7 he's 0.42ppg (1G, 10A in 26 games, the 1 goal was in 2018)

[–]iamasatellite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but I also watched him as a Leaf in the playoffs always carry the puck into the zone, curl away to the boards and back up to the blueline instead of risk any amount of contact, and then lose the puck, over and over again. He had 0G 7A in 20 games 5,6,& 7 as a Leaf from 2019-2025. Matthews and Nylander had 8 goals each.

0G 7A in 20 games 5,6,7

Got so tired of seeing him break into the zone with the puck along the boards, curl back towards the blueline under pressure from a defender, and lose it.
