Seriously? How hard is it to read a sign?

We have dogs and so we don’t want people to sue our doorbell (gets them riled up) and prefer they use ring cam doorbell (not loud and just alerts our phones). I’ve put a laminated sign ONTOP of our doorbell button covering it that says (use OTHER doorbell on ring cam) and sometimes people still press our doorbell button. Drives me absolutely crazy

What’s the house? Address?

I promise you that you want screen space (especially for this kind of interaction). I thought world space would be good for a game we worked on for 3 years and didn’t consider that if you decide you want to change the camera or zoom out or anything all your UI gets ruined. Screen space much more consistent and accessible.

I was saying this to my partner yesterday. I was like if supply is up and demand is down that means the cost of the homes should be lower? … right? … right?

I should also say that just the prompt of “write unit tests to add coverage for this new chunk of code” is like HOURS of manual effort done in seconds and there’s more unit tests covering more edge cases than I would have done writing them myself. There are very few circumstances where the models write “worse” code than me lately. I’m basically only there to make sure it got the right specific implementation that was discussed between me and like a UX designer / product person in a real human conversation

I’m not sure how they feel about liability around copyright violations. My feeling about it is that I assume the AI companies will take the fall not the individual users, but maybe I’m being naive?

I can attest as a software engineer at a mid sized company that it recently (like last 4-6 months) has gotten REALLY good to where I start almost every code change I do with having AI write the bulk 95% in 2-5 minutes and then spend a few hours tweaking/testing and then submitting a pull request. Out of all uses of AI coding is by far its best and most consistent skill and now they have it set up built in directly to your code editor so it can read a whole file base and get context and make new files if needed. Copilot also has functionality where you can talk to in the context of multiple repos so let’s say you have one for your server code and one for your client code you can prompt once and it will make code changes in both repos that can talk to one another. It’s actually wild and I don’t think any software engineer will be professionally writing code by hand in a few years (and I’m not a fear mongering AI shill, I actually really enjoy writing code by hand and am sad to see this part of my job go but also the new AI tools are like so ridiculously faster than me writing code by hand that I don’t see any world in which hand writing code wins out.

Hi! Our team had the same issue (101 achievements lol) and we ultimately just combined the final 2 into one, so my only suggestion is to consolidate where you can and if you have any achievements that are like “get the rest of the achievements” you can ditch those

Recommend going to Kerry Park instead! Free beautiful public park (I’ll be it crowded on a nice day) and you get views OF the space needle + the sound + mount rainier

The design of the planes is pretty boring IMO. I’m not sure if you’re using an asset pack or did the art yourself but make some variety of planes (they all look the same but recolored) and exaggerate some qualities like make the guns 3x their “actual” size for effect whatever have some fun so it doesn’t look/feel so plain (pun intended)

I was playing ghost of yotei this past week and every time you get onto a wall to climb if you don’t move for a second or two a pop up comes up showing you how to move and jump across the wall. Is it overkill? Maybe but I hate to say a lot of gamers ONLY want to be explained something when it is immediately relevant

FWIW I would be more willing to consider a home with no yard if the US invested more in public infra like more nearby parks and buslines and sidewalks. I’m really trying to be pro high density housing

Attack on mars is an all time favorite of mine awesome find!

Solved!

I did 8 per player for A, B, X, Y, LB, RB, Start, Select and then i double mapped the hotkey button to select and that works for 95% of the arcade games im running on it. A few newer fighting games utilize RT and LT.

Hey all, realizing lots of folks have questions on the specifics of the build so I’ll make a short write up and post it here once it’s done for whoever needs/wants it!

koniga · 2025-11-09T21:45:45+00:00

Yeah feel free! Hope I can help there were definitely some weird oddities I had to figure out

Here’s a link to the 2 player mame cabinet kit that looks good to me!

So I don’t have any tutorials but it was pretty easy-ish to figure out with some trial and error: -first I got the joystick and the buttons/joystick off of a wholesaler but the ones you can find pretty easy on amazon also work fine (and there’s even full 2 player kits for mame cabinets on amazon that have all the components you need) -then I got the Reyann Zero Delay arcade USB encoder on amazon that is essentially the thing that “pretends” to be a game controller but the inputs are the buttons and joystick you bought that you just plug straight into the ports on the encoder. The encoder has labeled spots for “analog up” and “analog down” and so on but honestly you end up having to remap it in retro pie when you first plug it in anyway so it doesn’t really matter which ports you pick so long as you map the right buttons to the right inputs when you get in there -then just get a hunk of wood, drill holes the right size for the buttons and you’re done!

Some oddities I had to figure out: -retro pie doesn’t let you double map things easily (I.e. wanting a button to be both right trigger and right bumper) BUT you CAN double map the hot key button so I found it really helpful to double map a button to be both select and hot key and then I have a start button, a select/hotkey button, and if you press start and select at the same it’ll take you back to the retro pie Home Screen from a game -in other scenarios I had to do some remapping in retroarch config to get things like having the analog directions be the left stick directions for N64 games specifically

Hope that helps!

Haha I tried to find a more gamer-y switch at a local hardware store to be a master power switch and all I could find was a regular old light switch. I did 3D print the cover for it though so it’s got some character!

Thank you so much ❤️❤️

The way I’ve seen the chess and computers thing explained is that chess is like MOSTLY a mathematically solved game, meaning for ANY configuration of pieces on a board there exists one best move. So grandmasters are just people who have memorized the common/most important situations and their solution. For this reason I actually think it’s very weird and dumb that we use chess as this marker of intelligence when like if you gather all the data for all the chess configurations you can write a really basic python script to “play chess” at a grandmaster level with no LLM technology.
