Oof, that was a hard one. Autocorrect strikes again.

One of the solutions was to put it in a giant metal ball and throw it into the sun or something. The salt was just out of spite.

At least I won’t be a snail in a metal ball full of salt.

In one of Vsauce’s videos he suggested a good visualisation of the number of unique shuffles of a deck of cards that was originally suggested by Scott Czepiel.

Imagine you have a friend that is shuffling a deck of cards and ordering the deck uniquely every second. Also imagine that every action you take is completed instantaneously.

You stand on the equator. Wait a billion years. Then take a step. Wait another billion years. Then take another step. Continue this until you have got back to where you started.

Then take 0.02ml from the Pacific Ocean. Wait another billion years. Then take a step. Continue until you get back to where you started and take another drop out of the Pacific Ocean.

Repeat this process until the entire Pacific Ocean is empty. Then place a sheet of paper on the ground at sea level.

Refill the ocean and repeat - wait a billion years between steps as you walk around the equator, take a drop of water out of the Pacific Ocean every time you get back to where you started and place a piece of paper on the ground in a tower before refilling the Pacific Ocean and repeating.

When the tower of paper reaches the sun do you think that your friend has managed to produce each, unique ordering of the cards?

Nope! Not even close…

If you were to repeat all of the above 3000 times, then he’d be pretty much done.

Fuck agile, or scrum, or whatever it is called. I just look at the issues and pick whatever I feel like doing. Kanban for life.

Worth a try, last time I tried it - about 3 months ago - it worked.

It is a legal label, if it was safe it would be “safe full self driving”.

Buy a Raspberry PI, install PiHole or AdGuard, change router DNS, and you are good to go. Yes, not perfect, but doesn’t rely on a browser extension that can go extinct next time the browser decides it is time for a change.

That’s when you start introducing modules that have the least impact on the legacy code base. Messaging is a good place to start, but building a new code next to the existing one and slowly refactoring whenever you got time to spare is at least a bearable way to go about it.

If you use Rufus to create a W11 Bootable ISO, you can check the Mods section and setup a username for a local account out of the box.

You sweet summer child…

And it finally, after all those years, took the toll. Ubisoft crashed hard and hopefully they burn and fizzle out like a wet fart they are, all of the people starting with lower management and up gets yeeted, and maybe the next owner in line will have more brains and listen to the community.

Don’t get me wrong, I haven’t bought or played their games for the past 10 years, with exception of the first The Division, but I’ve been following their death spiral for the last few years and I am glad it finally showed on a company. But we need more examples.

While I think it is a great spin on the genre of collecting monsters to enslave them so they craft bullets for you, I agree with you on Nintendo.

At least that lesson cost mere £50 and not thousands of pounds if he won and wanted to chase that dopamine hit of winning.

I remember using an app on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus where you could set every notification to a different color, for every app. Cost me like $2. Last phone that had a notification LED (dunno if it was the Note 4 or Note 8) had only some basic configuration and the app was no longer maintained. Now, I don’t have the LED anymore. Sad.

Maybe if I could have always-on display, but only with a virtual notification LED, I’d be happy.

Except when he is at the end of the line, and hopefully there is some humanity left in one of the people who hold the keys. Unless all the keys are held by Putler, then nuclear was is inevitable unless someone gets him before the “end of the line” moment comes.

I always have dreams about cheating on my GF, with my GF. It is like if I had a different GF in my dream and cheater on her with my current one. Even after 7 years together.

Magniflex mattresses are very good Atwell. Recently got one - my first time ever choosing a mattress for myself. Worth every penny.
