Error 404: Costume Not Found is a classic.

Seinfeld has an arc where Seinfeld writes a show about his own life, aka the show we're watching. clip

It's hilarious how many upvotes posts here get, yet how few posts there are. My people.

The 30% cut Steam takes is quite a bit. Considering the near-monopoly it has on game distribution, that could easily mean the difference between turning a profit and not for an indie developer.

Personally their efforts towards things I support (PC handhelds, Linux gaming) and the convenience of the platform outweigh the things I dislike, but being frustrated by its problems is understandable when people don't really have another choice.

Quality of output depends a lot on how common the code is in its training data. I would guess it'd be best at something like Python, with its wealth of teaching materials and examples out there.

The irony of this line from the post is particularly amusing:

your willingness to talk about things you could not possibly have all the information about this confidently, and with so little tact, is a sign of inexperience.

Most of my fiction reading nowadays is from web serials. I'm following a dozen or so right now, each putting out around a half hour's worth of reading a week. I'd like to read more 'book' books but I have a hard time getting into them compared to serials.

Following ongoing series where there's a chapter released every few days prevents binging, and I end up much more invested when I've been regularly reading about a world for months/years, with each chapter sticking in my head until the next. Plus new chapters coming out feels like an exciting event, drawing me right back in - with traditionally published novels I just don't feel that draw as much (and when I do I can't put it down, it kinda sucks unavoidably finishing my favorite books in a couple weeks at most).

There are problems with the format too of course - it encourages a lot of poor writing habits which, especially when combined with the low barrier of entry, means the average quality is much lower than traditional books. But when you find one you like, it's a lot of fun to be so regularly immersed in a world you enjoy for so long.

Titles like this annoy me. If you have something interesting to say - which is the case here - say what it is. No need to obfuscate the topic. It wastes time for everyone.

Anyway, it's kinda hilarious that the only way to make a proper circle in PDFs is with line caps. What a bizarre format. I hope it's succeeded by something better sooner rather than later, I can't think of any time they haven't been a pain to work with.

I'm surprised there aren't more distros that come packaged with it. If someone's used a graphical text editor in the past decade, then they know how to use micro. The only distro I know of that has it by default is Garuda.

For some reason this movie never quite worked for me. It's the exact sort of movie I usually love, and no doubt many of my favorite movies were inspired by it, but there's something about the characters and interactions that makes it hard for me to connect. The mood of it is great though.

6/10. Never seen the show lol.

Interpretive pole dancing to the death? Now I'm starting to see the appeal of Star Trek
