I’m old and I actually miss the times without Internet. I remember sharing floppy disks with games like this with schoolmates (in person).

Den gab es bei uns auch in meiner Kindheit immer, ist jetzt aber weg

Wochenende könnte den Kreis durchbrechen

So männlich

Hab davon nur Morrowind, Neverwinter Nights und Jedi Outcast 2 gespielt.

Ich bin eher der Fahrer im Auto vor dir, mittlerweile total paranoid und am grübeln, durch welchen Anti-Trump Kommentar ich mir die CIA auf den Hals gehetzt habe.

Sorry, hab den anderen Post erst hinterher gesehen

Worauf bezieht sich das warum? Ich sehe meine Haltung da selbst als problematisch, eben weil das Menschen wie OP so belastet. Aber ich hab bisher auch noch keinen Weg gefunden das zu ändern. Vielleicht ist es bei seinen Eltern ähnlich.

Tut mir leid dass es dich so belastet. Ich wäre bin bei diesem Thema allerdings auch eher unflexibel im Hirn und würde vermutlich ähnlich wie deine Eltern reagieren.

Thank you, I like it a lot

Is that aphex twin?

Thank you, I wasn’t aware

I wear glasses as anyways and I’d love a heads up display. Augmented reality where I could basically spawn full sized displays anywhere for work would be nice too. I’d probably need a device to control it somehow too.

However, I wouldn’t want them from Google, Apple, Meta or any of the other large corporations. Not coupled with their walled gardens, their subscriptions, their EULAs and terms and conditions and “updates” I didn’t ask for.

I just want the hardware and a driver for Linux. Connect the glasses via WiFi to my own computer and run the applications on this computer. If I want to use the glasses outside of my home, I would set up a VPN and use my phone to create a WiFi hotspot.

However, I’m pretty sure nobody is going to build it like that, so I’ll never have smart glasses. Which is fine.

Die Zeitschrift ist irgendwie komplett an mir vorbei gegangen. War hier vermutlich nirgendwo im Handel zu kaufen.

Definitely. Worked with Japanese companies (not gaming industry) a while and it’s quite challenging.

The time difference with central Europe was a big issue. Due to almost no overlap in working time we communicated a lot via email but if there was misunderstanding we had to wait a whole day to try again.

Then the Japanese colleagues tended to be very positive but “yes” often didn’t mean “I agree” or “I understand”, more like “I acknowledge that you said something”. To actually get their approval you had to explicitly check if they agreed and basically quiz them to find out if they understood what was said.

Also a big part of software development is to finding and avoiding bugs. However, they were not very open to it, especially if we called something a bug or potential flaw. That made them lose face to their superiors and they got super defensive and didn’t want to improve anything. Instead we had to call all their stuff amazing and disguise bug reports as suggestions for improvement or feature requests.

In general their approach was quite difficult from ours. We had a few testers that did a lot of exploratory testing and actively tried to break things. We developers thought a lot about potential race conditions and stuff like that.

The Japanese guys had a ton of testers that focussed on the most common use cases.

When we reported e.g. a sequence diagram, logs and a description how to trigger a race condition or a different kind of bug (often requiring a specific timing or uncommon sequences), sometimes with catastrophic consequences, they filed it but didn’t fix it with the (understandable) reason: Our testers performed this use case 10000 times and never triggered it. It’s extremely unlikely to happen in production and we will fix it once a customer reports this problem.

I have lense protectors (little glass things, against scratches fall damage) attached to my phone. Do they change the signature?

It’s probably one of the 10 wars he claims he’s already ended during this term

Ich sekundiere Twin Peaks

Besides this, the milk industry is pretty cruel
