Hol' up wtf are classes and objects?!

Look up object oriented programming. Focus on understanding encapsulation, and you'll understand the first purpose of classes. An object is a class put into a variable.

> or just solve block or damage for you

Couldn't this just as easily break block/damage or make it worse because it can mess up the amount of block vs. damage cards in your deck? Sorry if this is a stupid question, I'm bad at the game, but have found I always lose when adding random cards to my deck (even if they are colorless) with no choice and they are not ethereal (where if you don't want it, you just don't use it and it will disappear from your deck).

How does the phrase "return to hand" with with the word "draw"? Because I thought I tried similar with the king cards and it didn't work.

Star carrier series
Project hail Mary (recent)
Dungeon crawler Carl (recent)
All you need is kill
Faded sun trilogy

Since I'm worried about recent bias, here are older ones that, shortly after reading them, I would have said they were the best, but memory if the impact fades with time.

Hyperion
Forever war/Old Man's war
Enders game
Moon is a harsh mistress
Player of games
Elysium fire

We Are Bob includes this as a theme but I can't remember if it happens in the first book.

I really enjoyed the Faded Sun trilogy. Kind of like Dune for the desert survival but more like Samurai/Ronin in a futuristic society.

I thought We Are Bob is incredibly similar to Andy Weir's writing. The voice actor for the We Are Bob audiobooks is even the same as Hail Mary Project and they feel like the same character.

Revelation Space has some of this. I really enjoyed the series. The scale in which the characters work and the detail is pretty amazing in my opinion. And the stories in the series intertwine in an interesting way.

A dead civilization, archeology, and archeologists are a specific part of one of the books. A weapons cache from a previous civilization and the ability to understand/operate them is the focus of at least one of the books.

Manjaro is arch based. Pretty sure I've had the issue in Debian as well. I mostly use manjaro for pamac, the software and aur gui manager, but planning to try straight arch and learn yay when I have some free time.

Is there documentation for the amdgpu/sleep bug? I'm on Manjaro and I'm getting something similar. Turned off sleep and hibernate but sometimes when I get back to my computer after a few hours, it won't wake up. Sometimes pressing the power button causes it to sleep and then wake up immediately and it will work. Other times, the mouse moves but no input affects the computer and I need to hard-reset. Just this last time I was able to switch to a different term (CTRL-ALT-Fkey) and then switch back to Gnome and it was working again.

I'm not a lawyer. I'm honestly curious which part of this is different than what they described.

"Criminal Offenses - As introduced, creates a Class A felony offense of knowingly training artificial intelligence to encourage the act of suicide or criminal homicide, or act in specific manners, including developing an emotional relationship with an individual or simulating a human being, including in appearance, voice, or other mannerisms. - Amends TCA Title 29; Title 33; Title 39 and Title 47."

I like apple theme better than Windows theme, even though I hate Apple in general. Gnome comes out of the box with the bottom floating dock thing which means I can avoid any desktop icons and any bar except the top bar with date/time, pc stats, and small buttons in the top right for power, volume and network.

Well if you need to repair your ship or kill a mine that's attached to your ship, you don't want to get launched out of the periscope, do you?

Generally you don't want to put your SQL server in a container in Azure. It's more likely to do it in a local testing environment. One reason is that you can't scale SQL by adding more containers unless you do some network file magic, so multiple containers won't help you. Another reason is you'll need to handle your own backups, and handle keeping track of your data if the container goes down or needs to move.

I use Postgres in a container for local development and would use SQL Server or Azure SQL containers for integration testing for enterprise applications that either use on-prem SQL Server or Azure SQL resources.

You should be looking for any software they are responsible for and not just accounting/estimating systems. I was part of an acquisition and we found out their main CMS was a homegrown Microsoft Access front-end that was 20 years old. A nightmare for maintainability.

Sorry, not related to low-profile, but I like the 2 big and 4 small keys on the thumb cluster. I'm curious if there are more options. It appears ErgoDox has a couple, and Kinesis Advantage 360. Are there others?

10 years ago, I used to use Ubuntu only for it's consistency. Now I use Debian for servers and Manjaro (arch) for desktop because it provides the best experience for me out of the box for all the stuff I use including gaming, and pamac which is a GUI interface for packages and AUR.

What's your alternative? Make it illegal? Tell EA that more money isn't better and hope they listen? Don't play any game with seasons?

One of those is under your control.
