airline tycoon game could be a game on it’s own … Sounds fun

It, is - or was. Not a “serious” tycoon game, but certainly fun.

Unfortunately they kinda dropped the ball with the successor. If they made another one, I’d probably buy it anyways.

Yea, an Airline Tycoon mod/dlc would have been nice.

I don’t want to build car hell yet again

this, so much

tunefind when I hear something I like while binge watching, and occasionally to see what others seem to enjoy these days (although that only matches in say 10-15% of the cases).

wekan

When atlassian acquired trello, I exported some of my boards to see if wekan could import them - to my surprise, it could (at least for the kinds of features I used).

Since I despise Excel (mostly for the auto converting feature) I appreciate that alternative.

OTOH I am all but a typical user, and while I occasionally use LibreOffice Calc I prefer basic statistics and charts for SQL-tables and CSV-like data in LINQPad (since it’s the tool I use every day, i.e. to spike out ideas before using a real IDE).

non-moving home devices

There still is a use case - not that common in America but very common in (not only Europe’s) metropolitan areas:

If the devices are located in a dense urban residential area (say Berlin Gropiusstadt in the 11th of 20 floors) you have a lot of neighbors with wifi, and - at least on 2.5GHz - roughly a third of their wifis will use the same or overlapping frequency range. In the evening, when everyone and her dog streams the newest Season of Bridgerton those will send relatively short bursts for buffering the next five-ish(?) minutes.

This of course interferes with your measurement if you happen to measure at exactly the same time, so having multiple samples instead and providing an aggregated value is - for this scenario - more helpful.

OTOH: it all depends on the use case of those appliances - if you don’t have competitive gamers who wonder why they sometimes lag in your valued customer list, that’s a non issue (and if they actual were competitive gamers, they should use an ethernet/fiber cable instead of wifi, obviously).

And you probably did not get that much time allocated to add the delay, so going with another variant could get you in trouble if it’s taking too long.

Then sneak in a test case that fails if the commit is made by Ron and ask Ron to implement it in an hour, all tests green. 😈

Instead I’d probably take multiple measurements some hundred milliseconds apart and do a basic statistical analysis (average as “main result”, but also lowest percentile, highest percentile and median). That way I don’t feel dirty for tricking the customer.

And while you’re at it, could you bring some wine and cake to GeoCities?

I loaned a colleague’s son my copy of a very introductory Unity book for a school project. Instead of a 2D game (most of the book), they ended up making a 3D version. Now he has an apprenticeship with a game company where they use Unreal.

Unity has other pros: With a decompiler you can check some of the Unity games you already own and add features you missed. Only for yourself, or in case your friends are curious, maybe release them as mods.

they recently decided to defederate

Hadn’t thought of this one, but yeah, that explains it.

Seems like most of the answers are on another instance and my client does not show them here. For those having the same problem: check here.

Federation is fun and all, but having “the same” sub on multiple instances does not make it easier atm.

4-5 times now. When confronted with more than a hundred commits between latest known working version and the one you’ve observed the bug (which was not catched by any of the unit tests) it can save some time to find the fishy commit.

In such a case I create a testcase on top to reproduce the bug. Then bisect and for each stage add the testcase, build, run tests. FYI: this only works if all (or at least most) of the commits in the chain are compilable - if you’ve done a big messy refactoring with several commits breaking the build, bisect can get you only so far.

some free Azure credits

That’s probably not enough for a 3 node AKS (it used to be though) but even with one or two nodes having a familiar API is a plus. If you’re already experience with k8s or already have an AKS for other dev/fiddle stuff, that would be the obvious solution.

I haven’t even decided if I’ll run lemmy or kbin. Jerry Bell is currently running both.

It’s ::1, but also fe80::d00f:foo5
