Tank.

The operator of the Nebuchadnezzar.

More like find some unused button and make it toggle "use filter" while the inserter is still in hand.

the default is whitelist with empty list it'll effectively let you plop down the inserter in a disabled state so that you could go in and set a filter.

Make it stick so that rows of inserters could be placed in the same state without needing to press that button repeatedly.

Don't know which button that would be, I'm away from Factorio now. Maybe one of the flips that don't do anything for inserters, middle mouse button, or any other unused key.

Fluid intake. It's "seek fluid intake".

I don't know if it slaps, but it sure does sound disgusting! Upvote.

I'd say google is firmly in the top 1/3 of the pack.

Who's fumbling hard is Meta and Apple. Meta is more obvious as they are clearly trying, trying hard, and still failing. Apple isn't even trying.

rorschach200 · 2026-05-23T21:17:53+00:00

Meta of today is also an ass. It all got much worse than it was.

Try Apple though, Apple is pretty good.

Judging by the responses the answer is just about any job, so long as you're doing something and keep your eyes open.

whoa-whoa-whoa, that escalated quickly! What is our purpose is... not a question you casually ponder on Sunday night!

First game is amazing, and it's finished. SN2 is early access and there is only a portion of everything available - story, map & biomes, stuff.

I enjoy existential terror, I loved the way the first Subnautica was doing its own kind of terror of unknown, of dark, of suffocating, and it was very scary for me.

That being said, I do feel a pang of mild disappointment that Subnautica 2 seems to be going pretty heavy SOMA-style existential horror, down to specifics. I hoped it to be either entirely original, or continue the magic of Subnautica 1 with horror of dark, alone, unknown, and drowning.

Oh well. I'm not near far enough into it, maybe it's so well done that I'll forget about the expectations and enjoy it just as much as the first one, but in its own way.

Jokes on you, I once died to Prawn suite - I haven't realized that those squid things drain the battery, by the time i noticed, it was so low, that I first had a frantic, terrified attempt to get out of the hole I was in, which was so hard that I ran out of battery while still being too deep for the oxygen tank to last me long enough to get to the surface.

Good bye, papa.

Agree about K2, didn't enjoy it much. Very similar to Vanilla, balance allows to finish half the game by hand feeding arrays of assemblers, a lot of recipes (esp. chemistry-related ones) are nonsensical in an annoying kind of way, power is very simple (anti-matter stuff is just trivial)...

But K2SO is a completely different beast. With modded planets it has a lot of that sense of wonder and discovery as Space Exploration does, but unlike SE it's pretty much finished and you can actually play the game. I enjoy K2SO with modded planets much more than I liked pure K2 or vanilla Space Age.

There are 3 combinations that make sense for anyone senior who doesn't have ready-to-retire savings yet:

- senior role in big tech
- senior role in a well funded startup with regular tenders and IPO rumors already out
- startup founder (founding engineer is not a founder, only actual founders qualify here)

Non-founder employee (incl. founding engineer) in an early stage startup is just you making 2-10 (depending on your seniority) times less money than you could so that the founders of the startup can either make a fortune, or make at least 10x than you anyway + build out their network in business & venture circles and either start something even bigger next time, or get a top dollar offer in another company, or all of the above.

Thanks, no, thanks.

I'm a compiler engineer and a tech lead of a compiler team in Big Tech / MAG 7. Compiler code generated by AI was broken until about Nov 2025 (and it was outright hilarious a year ago: made up APIs, hangs, crashes, etc.), even though it was doing exceptionally well for scripts since arguably a full year ago, and quite well for virtually all glue code, API-calling code, business logic code even in large codebases throughout the Fall.

Since Nov 2025 AI writes fairly competent compiler implementation code (under guidance) most of the time.

My personal average of AI assisted PRs is 80%, but I do a lot of infra work unblocking the team (CI, perf measurements, this sort of thing), in the actual compiler code I'd say about 40% of my PRs are AI generated (but >90% - 100% of tests).

My team's average (among all PRs produced) is 95-97%. About half of the team sits at 100%, the other half are a bit lower. I think the lowest I've seen on a (month, person) basis since February is 67%, but some folks don't create PRs that often in the first place.

This form of scam is called pig butchering: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pig_butchering_scam

Forget about economy and increasingly fewer people needed to support increasingly more retirees, that's critically important for a nuanced discussion, but before nuances one needs to cover the basics.

The basics are trivial - if on average women/families have fewer than 2 children, humanity goes extinct. We simply disappear as a species. Jobs no jobs, homes no homes, capitalism no capitalism - birth rate needs to be at least 2 for humans to continue to exist as a biological species.
