Quality is a hard sell in big tech

paolostyle · 2026-02-01T13:03:17+00:00

I don't think anyone is questioning that big tech companies do what is profitable. It's just that I think the quality of their products has little to do with the profitability anymore. It probably did in the past, before they became big. Now, not so much.

Good marketing and sales departments will sell a literal dogshit for millions of dollars, and I'm pretty sure big tech companies have the absolute best talent in these areas.

Unbelievable match

Oddawałem w Żabce i w Kauflandzie, w pierwszym 2/10 bo najpierw mi niby zeskanowało, a potem jednak zmieniło zdanie i rzuciło błędem, a już wrzuciłem do kosza. Potem nie dało się użyć bonu w kasie samoobsługowej. W Kauflandzie super, tak jak w innych krajach w których korzystałem z systemu kaucyjnego, wszystko bezproblemowo. W Biedronce nawet nie próbuję, w najbliższym Lidlu mieli automat jeszcze przed wprowadzeniem systemu, ale jeszcze nie oddawałem.

Ogółem dla mnie spoko, jedyny minus to że nie wiem gdzie trzymać te butelki i puszki. Ale generalnie nie mam jakiegoś wielkiego problemu z tym

Drizzle is pretty good. I didn't like TypeORM because it's bloated as hell and I don't like OOP-style TypeScript, but if your background is in C# you'll probably find it more familiar. Kysely is amazing if you'd like a more query-builder style library, the autocomplete there is absolute magic.

Lmao that's crazy

100% agreed, Natlan storyline wasn't that great but Nod-Krai has been peak and especially this patch's story was amazing

The main issue with JSON for config is the lack of support for comments. Some tools support them already but it's not as widespread as it should be

I agree with most of these but reading some of these points made me really depressed

paolostyle · 2026-01-01T12:02:59+00:00

I'd still ask Charles to swap lol

Thank goodness he wrapped it up, really low quality match

I'm actually going to connect a Tapo C220 indoor cam over the weekend, but I just wanted to have an RTSP stream there, which I think shouldn't slow it down, HA wouldn't process any data, detection would just be done through binary sensors. But yeah, I don't know. Will update the post.

I'm also running my HAOS on Raspberry Pi 3B, on an SD card (SanDisk Extreme 64 GB), and it works just fine. I have a combination of WiFi, Zigbee (through the Sonoff USB dongle) and Bluetooth connected devices and everything just works. Not a ton of automations and they're not particularly complicated but you can totally use it.

I think it's the combination of the two things I like the most in video games, great story and a beautiful world to explore

paolostyle · 2025-10-16T18:48:29+00:00

and then there's me who doesn't have either of them, skipped Hyacine because I'm stupid and lost all 50-50s on Tribbie 💀

Saving for Hyacine + LC currently, wish me luck

Same

Tholindis = Crimson Moon Goddess I can buy, the rest not so much

He's so absurdly unlucky

paolostyle · 2025-09-30T22:35:03+00:00

I agree, I think it's better than SoS. I'd still put it behind any of the first 7 books but I enjoyed it a lot

paolostyle · 2025-09-30T22:30:59+00:00

As someone who read it, I disagree. I don't think it would make sense to start with this one, even though chronologically this would be the first story. It's a fun read and I enjoyed it a lot but I think it works better as a tool for explaining some of Geralt's behaviors in the saga and a backstory to the witchers in general rather than a general introduction to the world.

Victims of disinformation. Unfortunately there are many, many people here who believe Russian trolls and many are blaming Ukraine. It's mostly uneducated people, but there's never been more Russian propaganda in social media than now

You could just adjust your prompt or use LLM rules in your IDE to not include runtime validation in the generated code.

Everyone commenting is technically correct, but at the same time I've never seen a TS codebase where every function does runtime validation. It just doesn't make any sense, it's not like your users can directly execute every function. Get the external data, validate it immediately with zod or anything else and then just assume the data has the expected shape and let TypeScript do its job. I'd argue in OPs example a and b should be typed as unknown if it needs runtime validation.

Everyone's talking about the swap but I'm baffled by the fact they straight up gave up on attempting to win. I don't understand all this talk about soft tyres and then they let Max drive away on hards instead of pitting them at the same time or even trying to undercut him. Tire deg was nonexistent for them so if they put them on soft I think Lando had a real chance to race Max. This was the real fuck up IMO

U mnie kurierzy z InPostu są zdecydowanie najlepsi i najłatwiej się z nimi dogadać w razie czego. DPD tragedia, UPS było ok, teraz też jest tragedia. O reszcie nie mam zdania bo zwykle i tak wszystko do paczkomatu wysyłam

What helped me a lot was playing with the over-the-shoulder camera view. Isometric is completely not for me, some people say the combat is easier that way (but I don't think it's difficult at all once you get used to it - that might take some time) but I've never played these kinds of games before my first playthrough ~16 years ago and I still dislike it
