@Lensflare > 'don‘t do it unless you are 100% sure about the extra many. And I wouldn’t bet on that.'

Very true.

The boss could very well start thinking 'Oh cool, free extra labor.'

@YourMom Is that the iDrive?

Apple's latest gear shift?

@Lensflare @retoor might've cracked, but !B4 laying an egg, it would seem.

...a digital egg.

'CPUs have transient execution, why can't you?' will probably be the boss' reply when told that guesswork in meetings can't be done reliably.

Also, we had Meltdown && Spectre, so...

@BordedDev Indeed, I was expecting something cheaper.

My first guess is that particular brand must be imported, which makes it that expensive.

Perhaps a different brand is cheaper.

@AmyShackles That one is pretty normal, so !anAssHole.

Provided you are asking for reasonable things.

@jestdotty Found this thing from the pic.

Damn, roughly $25 over here.

@antigermanist If it tastes good, I see no problem w/ that.

I'll have to check local food stores, perhaps they sell it.

@BordedDev > 'I keep hearing that non-gamers are working on games nowadays, as well'.

True. Also the reason why we keep getting a lot of crappy games, nowadays.

@int32 Sounds like he did a tactical 180°.

Wonder what changed his mind - the analytics data he might've seen or what...

But in the end, people want a working product, so 'pretty but broken' will piss them off.

@BordedDev Gee... might it be the 'pretty' one?

Some people have weird priorities.

@jestdotty That's fine. But my philosophy is 'pretty, but useless is useless'. Which is why I prefer something working to something that's just 'pretty'.

I enjoy the typical Tabasco sauce. I will research the Moroccan one, though.

* Edit *

Guessing this one:

Ah, yes. 'Pretty' over 'useful' - I know that well.

@int32 Given a simple question regarding deployment plans && deadline is logical, I see only bad reasons for his reaction.

Congrats on the job well done.

I've seen an increase in releases of remakes / remasters in recent years.

Originality isn't exactly sought after by the big companies.

That said, every once in a while a true gem does come along.

1h of commute was the worst I had. My 1st company changed their location twice while I was w/ them.

Longer commutes than that are too excessive. @PaperTrail has some good ideas.

Nice place you've got there.

Either they think a lead must never, ever get sick, or they dislike you w/ a dash of being cutthroats.

Whereas a good definition in a dictionary is much clearer.

@AlgoRythm He must've forgotten to make it a variable && left it as a static string. Shh.

@jestdotty > 'oh I didn't think you were calling me socially awkward'

Id didn't read like you were, but I still chose to cover my bases.

> 'I just think it's no big deal if people are socially awkward.'

Completely agree.

Slowly, as any other weekend.

As for romances in the office - some say they're stupid w/ high chance of failure, which is true.

It goes wrong, the downside is huge.

But, one should grab any chance at being happy.

If it works out, just be sure !to be obnoxious about it, rubbing it in other people's faces.

I've seen to many times couples hugging, smooshing, kissing, etc. next to / in front of my desk.

Wanted to ask whether that's a Stadia controller, but you've already answered.

Overall a nice setup, though.

@BordedDev ...made me think of this:

@jestdotty > 'quite frankly I don't think I was ever socially awkward.'

To be fair to myself I'll just say that I never said I thought you were one.

I am on the socially-awkward side, which is how I've noticed the shift in the industry.

Either way it should be about the work you put in && nothing else.

If you're doing a good job, you are an asset to the company && you should be rewarded for that.

Alas...

@jestdotty Ever since the industry's been infiltrated by too many 'well-adjusted' people, the 'socially-awkward' ones that used to thrive in tech are suffering.

I sure wish this would be corrected soon.

Cool video.

I've enjoyed the comment about Chrome on iOS !being Chrome, but Safari in a dress.

...or something like that.

@BordedDev I love how people bitch about things, come up w/ these retarded ideas that on the surface might appear good, but aren't well thought-out && end up screwing the majority.

Like most things related to anti-piracy. The pirates strip that shit out of the content, so in the end the real consumers purchasing things suffer.

Same for the content gating.

One of the sites I like started showing errors that I can't purchase things from my location, since I'm _appearing_ to be from UK.

...for that particular site, I've switched my profile to JP - all good, now.

The Internet's been bastardized in the last two decades or so.

@BordedDev I'm sure the year 2077 has been drawn by a very good random generation.

A mere coincidence some game has that same number in its title.

Those things in the second pic must be electricity, for sure.

!some type of liquid.
