I've closed the boot on my own head at least a thousand times in this game. The hitbox is janky AF.

Microsoft are such assholes as well.

Hey do you want this neat feature where we have interesting and pretty pictures on your lock screen? They auto rotate, so you get new pictures all the time.

Wow sure, that sounds like a cool feature.

Sike! We put the most dumb and annoying text all over it. And when you accidentally click on it because the monitor didn't wake up in time, we open up Edge with Bing to show you more of our dumb shit. We sell the text as being interesting facts about the image, but then do the old bait and switch and just use it to advertise about our own shit nobody wants or likes.

Fucking Microsoft, can't help themselves but be assholes all the time.

I'll check back in two weeks, surely it's ready then right?

In my experience these frame insertion things have made a game feel smeary, blurry and laggy for me. But maybe this one is better somehow?

What do you mean by security of the docker container? Security from who?

Yeah this is the biggest issue.

The way most housing gets built where I live it works like this: A company handles the project management, buying the land, getting the permits, hiring the builders, doing the marketing/sales etc. This costs a HUGE amount of money, which they don't have. So these projects get designed on paper and then sold to investors. These put in a big amount of money, with the expectation of the project making money in the sales of the housing in the end. This means they can often double their entry in a couple of years, which is really good in terms of investments. As the investors want to make as much money as possible, the company designing the housing have incentives to not only make the houses as dense as possible, but also as expensive as possible. Their margins in percent are about the same no matter the house, so a more expensive house makes them more money. This leads to really big expensive homes crammed together in either high rises or plots. It's really dumb as well since detached homes are worth more, they build homes with like 2 meter between them. The biggest issue is, only rich people can afford these homes. Even though more homes are built, the majority of people looking to buy a home can't afford these. Homes also get sold to investors again, to rent out as the house itself appreciates in value. These expensive homes also have the effect of driving up property prices in the area, which leads to more expensive houses and higher taxes.

In the end, it's only the rich that profit. They get the good investment projects, making them even more rich. They get to buy the expensive new homes to live in. They get to buy the homes to rent out and use as an investment vehicle.

Some places have made them build cheaper homes as well, if they want to get the permit. But it's not enough. We need to be building practical affordable homes, but we don't cause the people putting up the money to build stuff don't want to.

Yeah but publishing is still work though. It's become much easier to self publish on Steam as a small developer, but there is still value in having a professional publisher. It's hard to say how much value and sometimes the publisher takes up more than their fair share, but it's not like zero value either.

I think I speak for all DS3 players when I say: Man, fuck these guys

Serious question. I know there are a lot of memes about microservices, both advocating and against it. And jokes from devs who go and turn monoliths into microservices and then back again. For my line of work it isn't all that relevant, but a discussion I heard today made me wonder.

There were two camps in this discussion. One side said microservices are the future, all big companies are moving towards it, the entire industry is moving towards it. In their view, if it wasn't Mach architecture, it wasn't valid software. In their world both software they made themselves and software bought or licensed (SaaS) externally should be all microservices, api first, cloud-native and headless. The other camp said it was foolish to think this is actually what's happening in the industry and depending on where you look microservices are actually abandoned instead of moving towards. By demanding all software to be like this you are limiting what there is on offer. Furthermore the total cost of operation would be higher and connecting everything together in a coherent way is a nightmare. Instead of gaining flexibility, one can actually lose flexibility because changing interfaces could be very hard or even impossible with software not fully under your own control. They argued a lot of the benefits are only slight or even nonexistent and not required in the current age of day.

They asked what I thought and I had to confess I didn't really have an answer for them. I don't know what the industry is doing and I think whether or not to use microservices is highly dependent on the situation. I don't know if there is a universal answer.

Do you guys have any good thoughts on this? Are microservices the future, or just a fad which needs to be forgotten ASAP.
