... which is ironic, since SystemD is what happens when someone comes up with a problem to fix your solution.

Negative value would indicate "paying you to take them", which doesn't make any sense, unless there's a forfeit associated with having any.

Really, share prices should be on a logarithmic graph. You care whether your shares are now worth eg. twice as much or half as much as you paid for them originally. The actual number of shares that you could buy with a given amount of money isn't as interesting.

Dang. If only they had some kind of security scanning tool that could catch that kind of thing.

It was quite prone to crashing-to-desktop and certain PC configurations had bizarre graphics issues, but I did play through it on hardcore in the week of release and had a great time with it. Just needed to quicksave a lot.

The kind of bugs that it did not have a lot of were quest bugs. Bethesda's own games are 'wide but shallow', and very few quests in the world seem to interlink with each other, but despite that, they're very easy to break accidentally, or cannot be completed due to flag issues. Oblivion managed to wrangle up a complex plot with tonnes of interrelated parts, and it mostly just worked.

What F:NV could have been if it had been made in a good engine... Most of the times where it got dinged in review scores were for bugginess and instability. Trying to build a castle upon sand; there's only so much you can do before all the cracks appear.

The fruit was originally called a norange, from Spanish naranja, but that sounds a bit awkward in English so the n moved over to make it an orange instead.

I call mine 'little Elvis', because that's what Elvis called his, and it's always struck me as a good name for it.

Yeah. Am using Connect on my phone, which shows "comments to the same link" all in one view. That's not quite right; would be better if it showed all of the posts that had the same link together too, but it's a massive improvement.

Not suggesting we should have Fark-style 'only one post per link', because that ended up having some, eh, niche blog takes on news articles, since you couldn't post mainstream articles. But accumulating posts with the same link or same post together would be great.

Okay - that'll be interesting. There's not much "the future Addams family" in that collection; there's quite a lot of creepy-and-kooky, a fair amount of 1940s humour that's aged really badly (misogyny and foreigners with funny ways) and also a fair amount of stuff that I just don't understand at all. Will be pleased to see the 'wisdom of the crowds' for what's actually going on in some of them.

Bit of a prototypical Far Side in a way. Addams has a fair amount more technical skill than Larson, but can be a lot meaner in his jokes; they're very much about an 'everyday picture with funny caption' or vice-versa.

Been a while since I've had to use that piece-of-shit in anger; but doesn't the "save as" options give you the possibility of saving it as HTML but with all of those changes baked in? It's easier to copy-paste HTML.

Was about to recommend the same thing; I just couldn't get anywhere on Silksong with a normal pad, had to set it up for a fight stick to have proper control.

Only got yourself to blame for diagonals with these bad boys:

Of course, 8bitdo's stuff is awesome, but Steam controllers are awesomer.

I broke my first steam controller, and an old xbox controller, beating the final boss of Sekiro. My replacement is more-or-less a shelf ornament at the moment due to its irreplaceable nature. That old man's got a lot to answer for.

I will also be at the front of the queue for this. Hesitation is defeat, after all.

 

Hey gang! Looking for some recommendations on issue tracking software that I can run on Linux. Partly so that I can keep track of my hobby dev projects, partly so that I've got a bit more to talk about in interviews. My current workplace uses Jira, Trello and Asana for various different projects, which, eh, mostly serve their purposes. But I'm not going to be running those at home.

The ArchWiki has Bugzilla, Flyspray, Mantis, Redmine and Trac, for instance. Any of those an improvement over pen and paper? Any of those likely to impress an employer?
