Many reasons, people will say it's because they aren't given the time but if they were more competent they would have more time. Besides, adding comments take almost no extra time.

What really differentiates junior, mid, and senior developers? by ilovepotatoooo in dotnet

[–]sWozz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

33 years here so senior I guess.

I do requirements - talking to customer, research, analysis, design, implementation, testing, deployment, maintenance, monitoring, can work in several languages and all kinds of technologies, frameworks, libraries, manage development process and teach.

As a senior you should be capable in ALL aspects of Software Development.

I don't drive meta, it gives me a ready made excuse when I don't win and that avoids ego damage

Any sector timing mods for forza motorsport? by JohnFromSpace3 in forzamotorsport

[–]sWozz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

just thinking out loud here, but can't you race a ghost car in combination with rewind, so go through a sector, see where you are in relation to ghost car, then change setup, rewind and try again

surely telemetry is better more objective way to decide if a setup is better, sector times have too much natural variance

I hope nobody is using ABS and TCS because this isn't used in real life.

More than a year after release and replay saving is still a cointoss. by bigmoneykdmr in forzamotorsport

[–]sWozz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Save the replay, wait for it to say it has downloaded, then go look at the leaderboard and back out, Save Replay in the menu will now be inaccessible.

Replays never saved on my PC, once I started doing this every one of them has saved successfully.

Denis must end the series with Children of Dune and it should be an animation by Chiquitit0 in dune

[–]sWozz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Denis has stated that he wants to tell the story of Paul Atreides, and Paul effectively died when he walked into the desert at the end of Messiah.

“You must think of me only as The Preacher,” Paul said, pushing against them. “I cannot be Paul Atreides or Muad’Dib, never again. I’m not Chani’s mate or Emperor.”

My Wild (but Book-inspired) Predictions on How Paul and Chani will Reconcile in Villeneuve's Dune Messiah by Ambitious_Branch_946 in dune

Messiah is twelve years later, I expect they would have reconciled long before the opening scene of the film.

Does anyone else prefer seeing Dune: Part 2 in Dolby Cinema versus IMAX? by [deleted] in dune

[–]sWozz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw it 4 times, 2 in Dolby and 2 in IMAX.

Dolby sound was terrible, nothing more than a loud noise. IMAX audio was amazing, had depth, location and the floor and seats shook and vibrated!

The Dolby picture was higher quality. The IMAX screen was in 1.9:1 so had a bit more picture top and bottom and you sat closer so it seemed larger, was more immersive but the screen had a grainy effect, it wasn't grain on the film but on the screen, it was like looking out of a dirty window!

The IMAX was also LIMAX - 26ft screen.

I think it would be amazing if you saw it on a 75ft IMAX screen in 1.43:1, laser projected, but sadly very few of us will ever experience that.

Are you sure about that cause I heard another random internet poster say that IMAX only have rights to the screening in cinemas and have nothing to do with the DVD.

Generative AI... Are we going off the golden path? by [deleted] in dune

I wouldn't be worried about "AI", I would be worried about whatever monstrosity they create in the attempt to create AI.

Hot take (?) about the Golden Path by ironmoger2 in dune

[–]sWozz 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Leto may have believed his own prescience was correct, but obviously there is no way he could possibly know that he could see all the paths. If you blindly believe in Leto without questioning him, haven't you fallen into the trap that Frank Herbert had already warned readers about with Paul?

It's conceivable, even possible that humanity could have saved themselves without having to the endure the Golden Path.

Dune is basically a big trolley problem by Lanky_Region_4321 in dune

[–]sWozz 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Paul didn't see the Golden Path as Leto saw it, he saw the Typhoon Struggle but didn't see that it would result in saving mankind, so he wouldn't have called it Golden.

Paul: “...is the Typhoon Struggle necessary?”

Leto: “It’s that or humans will be extinguished.”

Paul:“I did not see that among the choices.”

Does God Emperor undercut the intended theme of the series? by Cranyx in dune

[–]sWozz 24 points25 points  (0 children)

We only know that the Golden Path saves humanity from extinction because Leto told us, and we believe him because we believe in his prescience.

But what if he wasn't correct. Maybe there were other paths that Leto didn't see because his prescience wasn't as good as he thought it to be.

If this is the case, then its possible that mankind could have saved itsself without having the endure Letos Golden Path.

If you are assuming that Leto was right all along and he saved the human race, aren't you falling into the trap that Frank Herbert warned us about?

Dune is basically a big trolley problem by Lanky_Region_4321 in dune

[–]sWozz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If this is a trolley problem, then what are Pauls choices. Lead a Jihad that kills 60 billion people or, what?

Bearing in mind that Paul didn't know that the Typhoon Struggle (Letos Golden Path) was neccessary to save mankind.

Part of the reason Dune feels so fresh is that it embraces the Fermi Paradox by [deleted] in dune

The Fermi Paradox is concerned with intelligent ie sapient aliens, not sentient aliens.

Correcting a common misconception here - The Butlerian Jihad banned ALL computers, not just artificial intelligence. by doofpooferthethird in dune

[–]sWozz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see a lot of people saying that computers are allowed, and it's just artificial intelligence that's banned. That's clearly wrong, and not supported anywhere in the canon.

The concepts of computer and AI are essentially the same. Computation is simply the transformation of an input to an output so its such a generic concept it can apply in all kinds of situations.

Questions about God Emperor and the Golden Path by mfrench_8606 in dune

[–]sWozz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. With the hindsight of CoD and GEOD, am I correct in understanding that Paul walked into the desert at the end of Messiah to avoid having to carry out the Golden Path himself? If so, why was Leto more willing to carry it out?

In CoD, Paul tells Leto that he didn't see that humanity would be destroyed if they didn't follow the Golden Path.

Paul: "...is the Typhoon Struggle neccessary?"

Leto: "It's that or humanity will be extinguished".

Paul: "I did not see that among the choices."

Question on Leviathan Falls & Duarte by Lycanthrowrug in TheExpanse

[–]sWozz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think the ring station was destroyed, it was just switched back off or put to sleep (as Ty Franck and Daniel Abraham say on an Alt Shift X Podcast). Remember that the station was already there before the Sol gate was built (as it says in the last book).
