20 years on giant enterprise codebases. And any enterprise worth their salt at this point will be scanning these servers and flagging eosl software.

My experience the last five years of the 20 - security and service life trumps all fucking complaints about complexity.

To the point where it’s the opposite and I’m fielding weekly questions about why we’re still running an older 3.7.9 version. Among 50 other things.

Meh. I’ve ported a fair many py2 projects to 3. At this point just bite the bullet. Even from a security standpoint. Trying to not let my bias seep through - but it’s been so long.

That’s fucking heart breaking. Thank you for sharing. Thank you for doing what you did. What a good person the boss was.

They had Star Wars rides before they bought Lucasfilm.

The company was highly collaborative with Disney. Captain EO. Star tours. Star Wars seasons at Hollywood studios in the late 90s. Indiana jones stunt show. Etc

Love all the ideas. Was an avid subscriber on the platform I won’t name - and support them here.

One opinion though - and not a ride or die opinion - just a thought. What if you made tags to categorize certain options. #vintage for things that are old and outdated but may still be obtained.

So still allow it - just make sure it can be quantified and understood by readers/posters.

I’m not a fan of certain days - that just discourages participation - but tagging is a great option to allow posts at any time but allow others to filter.

Couple of tag ideas

  • vintage for older items
  • promotion for self promotion
  • diy for posts that encourage instructional material

This way you don’t push off posters and allow a gentle path to posting and categorizing that will help others later on to filter and search. If I ever went to a sub-thing and saw a rule to not post until x day - I just ignored it and moved on to other communities.

Sometimes I wish I could have a job where companies just say “hey should we make this decision” and I tell them “that’s so fucking stupid no one will actually like that” and get paid well for it.

That’s my dream.

Others have already replied with this info but I’m just spelling it out for anyone who is not familiar like me:

They fucking named the brand new game mk1. Is it a remaster? No. It’s not a remaster. Is it a recreation of mk1? No. It’s an alternate timeline game given the worst name in the history of naming things. It’s genuinely a brand new game.

I won’t help the conversation here but I really tried to give them a shot. I don’t know if it’s Brian Herbert or the second author that is bad - but it was just such bad writing. I even gave it another shot years after I finished the last Frank Herbert book in a second attempt. Got halfway through before just getting frustrated with it. Tried multiple books just to mark sure I wasn’t hiding one too harshly.

I wanted to. I wanted more Dune content. I may have even given it much more of a chance than I would with any other sci-fi series.

Really freaking great. I get awesome battery life on arm MacBook compared to an intell one I still need to use. I feel like it’s about double when I compare my workloads between the two. Wish I had something more scientific to offer - but for what I do - much longer battery life and a much much much cooler and quieter laptop. I had to use my i7 for something the other day and forgot how freaking noisy the thing was.

What is your use case? If it’s dev or data science work I can at least give my feedback. Early on kind of awful - competing packages , incompatibility between tools assuming arm and others that had to be emulated. I can go on if it helps - it’s much better now but the occasional pain point.

That’s a shame - ep 4 is when it really kicked in for me. I think if it didn’t have forward momentum then I would have probably been more meh about it.

It did have a great setting, tone and actors. Even though I like it - still feels like there is some wasted opportunity to me.
