The Windows 10 right click menu is actually an option within the Windows 11 right click menu, under something like "more options"

I haven't played it in a while (due to performance issues,) but I remember parrying in Deadlock being really satisfying. The timing was so generous, and led to mind games, fakeouts, mixups and all kinds of shenanigans about when you parry, bait parry, hold parry so the enemy doesn't know if you'll parry, training the enemy to expect when you'll parry before changing when you parry. And because melee isn't the only focus in combat, it made it a nice skill expression without being a win button.

Last year in February I uninstalled the app on a perfect, 2000-day streak when I got the first whiff of AI; I'm probably never going back

I ran gold stake zodiac the other day, built around red seal, steel queens; I had 2 foil mimes, foil shoot the moon, polychrome free parking, and yorick at x14 by the end. My high card was, like, level 25, and my best hand was 2.54 billion. The psychic ended up taking me down in ante 12, but I wouldn't have made it much further than that.

The company I contract with has been pushing hard on getting people to use LLMs (Copilot specifically) in their day-to-day; so much so that they put out a survey to everyone who hasn't used it yet, asking why they haven't used it. One of the questions was selecting checkboxes of reasons you haven't used it; for the "Other", free-form answer field I put:

I'm not about to sacrifice the integrity of my work just so that some venture capitalists can feel justified in roleplaying as useful members of society.

The fact that you used the namespace for cout but not for endl inordinately bothers me

As someone who's worked on printer firmware before, it makes me really sad that a company can get away with making a consumer decide between getting access to any of the actually useful changes that engineers — who have no say over ink cartridge policy — put effort towards making the best product they could, or not having said ink cartridge policies forced on them.

Don't forget the barotrauma

I just hope that when "Kakariko" is inevitably said in the movie, it gets pronounced right

My first instinct would be that it would equivalent to putting another celestial body the mass of the earth at the distance from the earth is from each portal. Since gravity is a wave, it, in theory, would affect a region beyond what would considered "around" the portals.

So if you put one portal on the ground, and another 100 meters up, it would be similar to there being a second earth 100 meters from the surface of the earth, experienced by the entire earth (once the gravitational wave propagated.) How that would evolve over time is too complex for my basic understanding of physics, but a simulation of it would be a neat experiment.

My friend group refers to Left 4 Dead 2 versus mode as "the grand finals" for this reason; the players in it treat it like it's the most important event that's ever happened in their life, and a single mistake is completely unacceptable

Because the tools are here and not going anyway

I agree with this on a global scale; I was thinking about on a personal scale. In the context of the entire world, I do think the tools will be around for a long time before they ever fall out of use.

The actually useful shit LLMs can do.

I'll be the first to admit I don't know many use cases of LLMs. I don't use them, so I haven't explored what they can do. As my experience is simply my own, I'm certain there are uses of LLMs that I hadn't considered. I'm personally of the opinion that I won't gain anything out of LLMs that I can't get elsewhere; however, if a tool helps you more than any other method, then that tool could absolutely be useful.
