WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK

Wasn't that episode based on a real story from some company?

I mean, winamp had playlist, shuffle, and played music. What more do you want?

Well, ignoring the mire of ancient bad idea compatibility, it's nice to just have a REPL wherever you have a browser.

Man, I wish you could just use TS without some kind of preprocessor.

But I also wish JS had less footguns like "oh, this function returns an array-like object that has half of array methods... But not the one you want right now".

Fair, but I'm trying to trick them into learning js here :P

On PC, you can open the browser console and type in

("your string").toUpperCase()

it's usually on F12.

>> "Al".toUpperCase()
<- "AL"

Not to lump everything into one pile, but there's definitely some problems with movie planning nowadays.

That's what is pointed out in all those "this movie production literally sacrificed ten VFX studios on a mayan altar" documentaries - some of new directors don't plan shots ahead, require seeing the result and then re-doing it ad nauseam, and as a result waste WAY more vfx team effort and don't get good scenes.

Setting up visual storytelling and using good cinematography is hard - which is why to a lot of people the 3D movies like Spiderverse/Last Wish/Nimona stand out so much, you kinda have to plan ahead for a 3D movie, and even if you don't modifying a scene is easier (if you do it early enough in production).

I'd imagine that it's similar for writing - large monologues like that are probably the outcome of the writing team needing to put all they mean to onto the paper. Maybe also result of focus-testing being passed down directly to writing staff?

I don't know, I'm just a random guy on the internet but those are my two cents.

That was basically my reaction to alcohol my whole life, just get kinda eepy.

Hey, Nexuiz rocked.

[–] GTG3000@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, the reason I got this one is basically "I couldn't find a cheaper one".

I don't have a Brother to compare it to, but it works just fine to print and scan documents. I got it set up on wifi because I wanted to shove it into a corner where it won't get in the way, and it's working perfectly fine.

Although their android app sucks.
