It takes most random squads more than six minutes. Consensus is about 8 on average. Also, yes. For a non-endurance mission, when the other options are captures, exterminates, sabotages, etc. where the lower bound is ~2 minutes and the highest is maybe 6 minutes with an incompetent team, 8 minutes on average is extraordinarily long.

This isn't even considering that pickups are hell on Ascension. Sure, reactant will be marked, but chasing it down vertically? In a coordinated effort, it might not be too bad, but surely it's more trouble than it's worth.

I'm in this no-experience-to-apprenticeship program and everyone in my class thinks type coercion is the greatest thing ever.

Ever since middle school, my "bless you" interaction has always been:

  • "Bless you."
  • Them: "Thank you."
  • "You're welcome."

And whenever I sneeze, it's "bless me, thank me, I'm welcome."

Thank you for attending my TEDtalk.

I'm mainly curious about software developers here, or anyone else whose computer is somewhat central to their life, be it professional or hobbyist.

I only have two monitors—one directly in front of me, and another to the right of it, angled toward me. For web development, I keep my editor on the main screen, and anything auxiliary (be that a dev build, a video, StackOverflow, etc.) on the side screen.

I wouldn't mind a third monitor, and if I had one, I'd definitely use it for log/output, since currently it's a floating window that I shuffle around however necessary. It could be smaller than the other two, and I might even turn it vertical so I could split the screen between output and a terminal, configuring a AutoHotKey script to focus the terminal.

What about y'all?

You're on ProgrammerHumor... Why do you expect the jokes to cater to you if you're not a programmer?

No see. What supposed to see?

I don't have experience with systems like this, but just as sort of a fusion of a lot of ideas I've read in this thread, could some sort of per-instance trust system work?

The more any instance interacts positively (posting, commenting, etc.) with main instance 'A,' that particular instance's reputation score gets bumped up on main instance A. Then, use that score with the ratio of votes from that instance to the total amount of votes in some function in order to determine the value of each vote cast.

This probably isn't coherent, but I just woke up, and I also have no idea what I'm talking about.

Instagram differs from Reddit in the sense that most people use Instagram because that's where their friends and family are. You're posting more personal things there. An alternative doesn't really work for most users if no one they know is using it. Good luck with the push, though.
