Unless you happen to be 2 meters tall, yes, you would give your height in cm. You might round it, but you'd never say you're 1.8m tall.

I suppose I would be interested in understanding how fans of the game see it and how they play it. Whether it's the dialogue and story that keeps them captivated or if it's the gameplay elements, or something else entirely. Basically I'm asking what they see as the primary draw that keeps them interested. For example if we were talking about Hollow Knight I might say that the mastery of the platforming and combat is the primary draw that keeps the player interested, with exploration and world building being something the game does really well, even if it's maybe not the primary element that keeps you playing. Contrast this with a game like Disco Elysium where you really need to treat it as more of a novel and take your time and really savor the setting and dialogue, while the actual moment to moment gameplay is a bit clunky.

I've tried playing Undertale 3 times now, and I just don't get what it is that people love about the game. Every time I've lost interest after just a few hours.

Honest question, because I don't want to miss out on what a lot of people are saying is an amazing game - what am I missing, how should I look at the game in order to not lose interest, and how long do I need to give it to really know if it's just not for me?

I'm so hyped for this. One of my absolute favorite games for the past 20 or so years!

När vi ändå är inne på pensionssparande så vill jag slå ett slag för att låta er premiepension ligga kvar där den är i AP7 Såfa. AP7 har en hävstång, vilket lite enkelt kan förklaras som att de lånar pengar för att kunna investera ytterligare, vilket på lång sikt ger dig bättre utveckling av dina pensionspengar. Förvaltningsavgiften är därtill ytterst låg.

Zero downtime here. We use ECS with services sitting behind ALBs. At deploy time we spin up a new task sets, wait for the new tasks to become healthy and then direct a small amount of traffic towards the new set for evaluation. If no alarms go off due to a degradation in metrics, the amount of traffic is increased until the old version has 0 traffic. After a period of time to allow for instant rollbacks if necessary, the old version is shut down.

What's more interesting to me is ways to accomplish the same thing for things that aren't just web services where it's trivial to direct traffic to one version or the other. For example, if you have workers consuming a queue, I haven't found a way to gradually increase the amount of work available to the new version without implementing custom application logic (I work on a platform with thousands of services, so I'm looking for ways to do it on an infrastructure level rather than each service implementing something).

Even if I had a createOrUpdate function I would still have an explicit create function so that I can have a permission model that allows for creating but not updating. For meetings maybe it doesn't matter, but I worked in a financial setting where a very unfortunate design decision was made early on in the development of a ledger where it was crucial that transactions couldn't be updated, but the database was designed in such a way that there wasn't a way to give the application permission to create new transactions without also allowing it to update existing ones. Required quite a bit of work to build around this limitation and have a way to prove that a series of transactions hadn't been altered.

My girlfriend has a similar complaint. Hours upon hours poured into Civilization VI, but after long sessions her arms get tired from holding it up due to the weight. Haven't heard any complaints about reach though, but maybe that's not as big of a deal as the weight.

I have a weird relationship with this game where I really love it but at the same time it took so much time and mental energy that I'm not sure if i ever actually finished it. I would have preferred if it was a more condensed experience with the same core.

Good old us-east-1. Last I checked it was affecting API Gateway, Lambda and a few other services.
