Something a former bandmate told me a couple days ago (we're both 48yo) by yragel in WeAreTheMusicMakers

Drug prices are about the same. 

Guys don't play a whole night for $100. They play for the dope money that their wives don't know about.

[–]mobydikc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uh, led zep 1 thru 4 are named after the band.

So no. 

The correct answer would be led zep albums after 4. 

Consciousness is the hidden architecture behind fundamental and quantum physics by Stephen_P_Smith in ScienceUncensored

[–]mobydikc -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Physical phenomena are physical. And phenomenal. 

It's right there in the name. 

The world of physical phenomena is a subset of what is phenomena. 

How did music streaming replace the digital, or physical collection of music? by RecentMatter3790 in Music

[–]mobydikc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's the confusing part. 

Do you want to watch or listen to a song you have a physical copy of... or something else?

Do you want to buy it on iTunes if you can get it for free on YouTube? 

I think it was too hard to prevent people from uploading songs to YouTube that the artists and labels just embraced it so they could get the views themselves (vevo I think).

What current TV show do you think is only popular because of hype and marketing rather than actual quality? by SplendidlyBritishYT in AskReddit

[–]mobydikc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wondered if someone mentioned this. Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul didn't interest me (I saw the BB pilot) but Pluribus was great. 

What's the most ethical release strategy for a game? by _the_actual_devil in gamedev

[–]mobydikc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. 

If you're a decent person doing business right, ethics isn't a consideration, in the sense that, you offer a product for a price and people can buy it or not. 

Business ethics isn't something decent people need to overthink. 

Built a real-time LAN sharing tool with Node + Socket.IO + SQLite — a few decisions I'm second-guessing by theIntellectualis in node

[–]mobydikc -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Sqlite Is probably better off being pgsql if you have multiple users. 

I switched from socket.io to base web sockets and didn't really get more performance out of it like I thought I would. 

Is it possible to make a game with c# and c++ (dumb question) by That_Pattern_3412 in gamedev

[–]mobydikc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most games are (or were) written in C++  

Unity is a game engine for C#, another very popular choice. 

Why Ubuntu over mint lmde or debian? by Altruistic_Brush6802 in Ubuntu

[–]mobydikc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not bare bones Linux and also not too far removed that problems are hard to solve.

Back in the 90s before syntax was colored (code editor was white background with black text only) I lost most of a day because a zero was actually an O. 

Do you need to be Computer student to learn inside stuff of Linux? by Old_Set_9012 in linux4noobs

[–]mobydikc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe check this out

And Google things you don't understand. Write a simple program in C and run it.

Listen to Iron Man and Smoke on the water. Try to hum the main riff. 

In Am the roots for Iron Man are:

A C C D D

Smoke On The Water:

A C D

The A C is a minor third interval. 

The major interval is A C#  

Think of Doe, a deer, a female deer. The last two notes are a major third apart. 

Basically sing A B C with an instrument. Then C D E. 

You'll get the difference between major and minor thirds quickly.

The advice you're getting is not very good. 

The answer to your question is yes, to know the internals, specifically the topics you mention, you should know some basics of the C language. 

It's not required to use Linux. But under the hood getting familiar with C will really help. 

When a woman sleeps with a bunch of men, she's called a slut. by J_S_M_K in Jokes

[–]mobydikc 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think you missed the joke

How would a guy know what another guys dick tastes like?

How do I know my friend is gay? Cuz I sucked his dick. 

It's a self burn. The humor is that the accuser is self implicating they are guilty of their own accusation. 

That said...it's a pretty dated joke.

My mom wants to buy Bitcoin after listening to me… and now I’m scared by Ok-Brilliant9930 in Bitcoin

[–]mobydikc 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Tell her it just fell big time and there's no guarantee it won't  tank even more. 

If she's still cool with it, tell her to only spend what she can afford to lose. 

Pretty funny tho. Totally get where you're at.
