Swabian here. I like C#. Guess that fits.

I wrote most of my Bachelor's thesis and parts of my Master's thesis to nothing but Watch the Skies from Skyrim on loop.

Lately? Firefox...

Carbonara... mit Sahne? Teufelszeug.

In eine Carbonara gehören Nudeln, Eier, Speck, Käse (bevorzugt Parmesan und Peccorino), Salz, Pfeffer, Wasser und sonst nichts. Wenn ich großzügig bin, noch ein bisschen Öl, um den Speck anzubraten, aber eigentlich kann der das auch allein.

Interestingly there are some videos that show what it’s like when it does work and it’s amazing (though still probably not worth thousands of dollars). That makes it even more frustrating when it doesn’t. It’s been a while since I watched Jenny‘s video but I think she made a point of that near the end.

The hotel was so expensive in both development and upkeep that they had to have a high price and high capacity at the same time to still make a profit. In the end it was basically luck if the actors had time to interact with you and if they didn’t, you had to rely on the rather barebones automated stuff while still paying for the full experience.

The actual recommended solution is to just read in a loop until you have everything.

I don't think "boring" is the right word for Outlaws. It has much less of the repetitive stuff that has plagued Assassins Creed for years now and instead puts in stuff that's less frequent but more memorable. I've played for about 10 hours so far and it's been the most fun I've had with an open world game in a long time. The annoying stuff is mainly bugs (not too many for me so far) and quality of life stuff like infrequent save points. A few patches down the road this could still become game of the year material.

So far I was fortunate enough to not experience the weird AI bugs but that checkpoint system is sooo infuriating. There's a side quest where you need to infiltrate a rather large imperial base on Toshara and even the tiniest misstep halfway through the quest will send you back outside the base. It's 2024, my PS5 is powerful enough to just dump the whole world state from RAM to SSD within a second or two. Why can't I save manually during a mission?

Other than that, amazing game. It just feels like Star Wars in a way that nothing since KOTOR and Jedi Knight 2 did.

Note that this isn't specific to Go. Reading from stream-like data, be it TCP connections, files or whatever always comes with the risk that not all data is present in the local buffer yet. The vast majority of read operations returns the number of bytes that could be read and you should call them in a loop. Same of write operations actually, if you're writing to a stream-like object as the write buffers may be smaller than what you're trying to write.

As far as I know, ActivityPub only applies to server to server communication. Still, many applications that implement ActivityPub (for example Mastodon) do use push notifications for their clients.

One more difference is that RSS is polling based, meaning that subscribers have to actively ask every hour or so if thre is new content.

On the other hand, ActivityPub knows who is subscribed and can actively distribute new content to other servers who can in turn send push messages to their users, letting you know about new content within seconds.

 
 

Can we please get a post that explains what this community is for? Seems like nobody reads the sidebar (which is hard to access on most mobile clients) so we constantly get flooded with questions that would rather fit in !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml or !fediverse@lemmy.world

I understand that many people are still confused by how lemmy works but we should make clear that this is for general questions and discussions similar to what /r/askreddit was and not a place to ask technical questions about lemmy.

 

The fediverse is discussing if we should defederate from Meta's new Threads app. Here's why I probably won't (for now).

(Federation between plume and my lemmy instance doesn't work correctly at the moment, otherwise I would have made this a proper crosspost)
