“My words are backed by NUCLEAR WEAPONS!”

I bet the beancounters don’t like keeping excess capacity ready to go

If you don’t have a problem with swastikas then it is you who are the fascist

Leave it on some form of mass transit before you leave

Does this work for Bedrock as well as Java edition? I can get Java to work with infrared proxy but I’m not sure how to do Bedrock

Or they can charge full price for early access, cancel the game, and then leave it available for purchase like KSP2.

This sounds like the CSS @media print with extra steps

Sort of, but aimed more at general purpose computing rather than gaming

How would y’all feel if Valve started selling PCs with their flavor of Linux on it?

It’s not pride, it’s just that I know how to use it really well and that makes it easy for me to use.

But it’s really only for viewing files on another system over SSH. For local work I use Sublime Text

Which means I wouldn’t be buying new games, which means game makers don’t have a market, which means no more new games.

I’ve got probably 9,000 hours on different variants of the Civ franchise over my lifetime, assuming I played Civ V and VI the same amount as the other four. I’ve got 1,600 hours in Factorio and probably the same amount in KSP.

My point being that some of us kinda do want the same shit over and over.

The problem with “It’s self-documenting” is that there are inevitably questions about what it says, and there’s no additional resources to pull from.

Totally agree. And I’d argue that we don’t even need technical writers. Even if all people do is correct grammar and spelling mistakes it would be helpful, let alone actually writing docs. It’s one of the easiest ways non-technical folks can get involved with open source projects.

If you know your weakness is writing documentation, please hire a technical writer.

I’m really thankful that I had a great English teacher in high school, and that my degree required a technical writing class. Being able to write a coherent email got me further in my career than the technical stuff I learned in college.

It’s also why the humanities are important. Stemlords who brag about not doing literature classes write terrible documentation.

You have to assume some level of end user knowledge, otherwise every piece of documentation would start with “What a computer does” and “How to turn your computer on.”

I’ve found the best practice is to list your assumptions at the top of the article with links to more detailed instructions.

The worst codebase I ever inherited like this was a Magento shop that had been heavily customized by a Czech programmer. All of the customizations had variables in Czech. The guy dropped off the grid after the handover.

Anything in the cron logs? Maybe you could try sending the output of the cron job to a log file to see where it gets hung up.
