Good job, may your quest succeed.

Nice reference.

I really hate the way they use the colour in the netting to try to make the fruit look better / fresher. Red netting for oranges to make them look more ripe, onions in brownish netting, limes in green netting, garlic in white netting.

I’d pay more for neutral / translucent netting that’s more honest. Or, maybe we can just get rid of the plastic entirely and use paper or something.

Sure, it might seem like a sprint compared to a Waterfall project where it’s a marathon, where there might be months between points where you check in with the plan and try to figure out if the software is ready to ship yet.

I still just object to the word “sprint”. Any job where you’re sprinting over and over, week after week, where that’s the main thing you’re doing, you’re doing something wrong.

What makes it so annoying to me is that a sprint implies putting in maximum effort for a short time. The pace of a sprint is unsustainable over more than a few seconds.

If you say you did “sprints” for over a year… no you didn’t. Either you sprinted for a little bit and then had to walk for a while because you’d used up all your energy. Or, you jogged at a sustainable pace for a year and just called it a sprint.

Yeah, it worked.

Hmm, does the other direction work? @[email protected] wants to know. (That’s me).

On that subject, does anybody hate the term “Sprint” as much as I do?

“Sprints” are extremely quick events that last tens of seconds and are done at most once a day, but more often (in competition) a few times a month, or a few times in a day every few months.

You don’t sprint for a full week every week. That’s a marathon, maybe an ultra-marathon.

Especially when they’re called “standups” but everybody sits down because they typically last an hour or so.

Tag it how?

The demo would be a lot more impressive if the questions you were asking weren’t longer than the extremely simple SQL queries it generates.

My experience is that games run just as well (if not better) in Linux. I’m also running Bazzite. The difference is that I think I had an nVidia driver issue once in about 10 years under Windows with this computer and hardware combo. It was such a rare occurrence that I assumed my card was dying, but it turns out that the next update fixed all the problems.

Meanwhile, the time between hitting a driver bug in Linux is measured in months. For a long time I couldn’t play SNES games with an emulator because something about how it initialized the display (on systems with 2 monitors attached to the card) caused the driver to completely lock up.

I’ve run modern AAA games with no issues, but using an emulator to play an old SNES game caused the driver to lock up. Apparently it has something to do with running 2 different screens? It’s definitely not just using advanced features or games that push the envelope.

When I was running Windows for games and Linux for other things, I think I had an nVidia driver problem once in something like 10 years. Once I switched to Linux completely (with the same hardware) the driver issues are frequent. This is using Bazzite so it’s a base system that has been assembled for all nVidia Bazzite users, not a quirk of my particular setup.

It’s basically what you’d expect when 95% of nVidia GPU users (at least home users) are running Windows, and only 5% are on Linux. Windows gets a lot more QA effort, and Linux gets a lot more bugs.

This is why I’m annoyed that AMD hasn’t released a high-end graphics card for 4 years. I don’t want to build a brand new gaming PC with a 4 year old GPU.

No, you’re thinking of when milk fat is evenly mixed in, when your eyes are different colours that’s homeostasis.

School is one of those words that leads to semantic satiation (or maybe just spelling satiation) quickly for me. The more frequently I write it, the more it seems that I can’t possibly be spelling it right.

You sure ewe don’t mean homophone?

Yes

There are many other kinds of salmon though, and some of them are native to parts of Japan, like Hokkaido. It just wasn’t traditionally part of Sushi. Even tuna wasn’t considered sushi-worthy for a long time. It used to be food for poor people.
