    PHP timeline for the introduction of these operators:
    • at most 2004: ?:
    • 2015: ??
    • 2020: Null-safe operator
    Of course there can be several years between introduction and adoption.

    For some reason I have way more sympathy for people who bought N‧F‧Ts without understanding exactly what they were technically getting (e.g. being mad at right-click save) than for people critical of them for the wrong reasons (art quality, the ownership target, etc...).

    #MiniReview Deus Ex: Human Revolution - The Missing Link is a standalone DLC with more of the same from the base game: comically easy stealth (which I enjoy) and cutscene to a room full of enemies (which I don't). It is now included in the Director's Cut of the base game.

    If it's the same exact set then congrats, you're sitting on about USD $250 on the second-hand LEGO market!

    See www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/c…

    This is one of the reasons that prompted me to collect the missing parts of a copy of this set I found in a bulk LEGO bin I purchased from local ads. But I'm not looking forward to clean these 1,300+ parts by hand like I've been doing for all the other sets I have sold through my store: store.bricklink.com/MrPetovan

    After spending $100+ over 6 months to collect the remaining parts of the #LEGO 7662 Trade Federation MTT set, I now proudly own a 1,300+ parts brown turd.

    No more Star Wars sets for me.

    (The Droideka build is cool, though)

    I was surprised to find out that professional Twitch streamers were mostly playing with other streamers in multiplayer games, but then I realized that since they're streaming during work days, most of the people available to play with them are... other professional streamers.

    It very much is, also once storage capacity is reached for a particular resource, your Peeps (in-game name) just stop working at the relevant production buildings and go home, so you can have as much as half your Peeps idle at any given time, it’s kind of inspiring.

    On @clayot 's suggestion, I got Before We Leave by Balancing Monkey Games and its reputation of chill city builder isn't undeserved. It reminds me of the Anno series with the different islands that can be colonized but without the tension of balancing a budget nor interacting with competing countries/tribes.

    Instead building space is sparse, so there are real constraints on expansion. The more advanced production chains induce pollution and happiness penalties, so I've been mostly avoiding them since your people's happiness is a major goal given the associated speed/productivity gains/losses (50% to 150%).

    So far I've been following the in-game tutorial, and I reached a point where it just says "Expand until something happens" and I'm mostly like "Nah, I'm good" but in a good way. I have a couple planets to explore in the solar system which I will get to, eventually, but making sure everybody eats their fruits and vegetables and wear clothing is more important to me, even though it doesn't result in any sort of monetary profits.

    So far for me it's been more a people-caring game than a city-building one, and it's very good like this.

    Thank you for the suggestion, if I ever get around actually wanting to watch something I may give it a try, however it seems to only be available on Netflix right now and I've sworn off it since the Dave Chappelle's special abysmal answer from Ted Sarandos.

    I can't seem to be able to enjoy movies these days. Either the tension is too much for me to handle even in movies targeted at younger audiences, or it is too unrealistic it pulls me out of the story. Most of the time it's both.

    Hoping it's just a rut I'm going to get out of.

    ♲ @vectorpoem@twitter.com: The word "decentralized" has really taken a beating this year and one reason that's sad is how it taints earlier highly benign usages, such as self-hosting servers for small communities as @tinysubversions lays out here: https://runyourown.social - the very opposite of "trustless".

      How to run a small social network site for your friends
      This document exists to lay out some general principles of running a small social network site that have worked for me. These principles are related to community building more than they are related to specific technologies.

    Thanks, I knew there must exist an exception to my mental rule! For some reason I was stuck on car manufacturers but even if they often still bear the name of their founders, they don't bear the name of their CEO.

    It always challenges my suspension of disbelief when a fictional western-style multinational corporation bears the last name of its CEO. Even Elon Musk didn't go there.

    Why are politicians extolling the virtues of virility often short and scrawny men? is it a revenge fantasy for them or what?

    Haven't heard of Wartales before, thanks for the tip! As a personal rule I don't play Early Access games until they are released in full version, otherwise I get tired of the whole game before it even gets a chance to be finished.

    The Settlers, been there done that, Stronghold too, Dungeon Keeper as well, big personal favorite, Jagged Alliance 2 as well, didn't find the same spark in the newer games though.

    If you want more examples of what I played in the genre I described: friendica.mrpetovan.com/displa…
