It does get harder later, I had to leave areas to level some more/rebuild characters. Some areas are just weak/strong Vs some builds too.
I still haven’t finished it either, actually 2 seems to go on forever (don’t even know if it’s the last act).

I still don’t understand why apps these sizes need that many people in the first place, what do they do!?!

I switched to Qobuz. They use soundiiz.com to migrate, I think it was free transfering to them?
- Comment on YSK that JetBrains IDEs do not remove old share and cache files from the previous version when upgrading. Every folder includes a local LLM, plugin executables, and old search indices. They go unused. Removing old versions freed up 14.8 GB storage for me. 2 weeks ago:
Equally, when your install is fubar, you can uninstall, reinstall an old version and it will re-upgrade all your old (not broken) configs.

Cryptocurrency that is pegged 1-1 against a normal currency. I think they have some limitations though.

Is it a payment processor problem, or a card issued problem though?

What about the so called ‘stablecoins’?
(Although those sound dodgy AF to me?, not backed 1-1 anymore?)
- Comment on Why LLMs can't really build software 2 weeks ago:
The trick is to split up the tasks into chunks.
Ask it to identify the blocks.
Then ask it to identify the connections.
Then ask it to produce the diagram.
- Comment on Why LLMs can't really build software 2 weeks ago:
The idea of the mental model CAN be done by AI.
In my experience, if you get it to build a requirements doc first, then ask it to implement that while updating it as required (effectively it’s mental state). you will get a pretty good output with decent ‘debugging’ ability.
This even works ok with the older ‘dumber’ models.
That only works when you have a comprehensive set of requirements available though. It works when you want to add a new screen/process (mostly) but good luck updating an existing one! (I haven’t tried getting it to convert existing code to a requirements doc - anyone tried that?)

- Comment on Spotify to raise prices in September 3 weeks ago:
Ah, I turned off auto play because it would randomly start playing other music instead of continuing my massive playlist…
- Comment on Spotify to raise prices in September 3 weeks ago:
Yeh, found it in the android app (on tracks, not artists). Not there on desktop though.
I can play the radio on the app to my desktop though… Guess that works. Not exactly great UX though.
- Comment on Spotify to raise prices in September 3 weeks ago:
At my PC now, where the radio option doesn’t seem to exist at all!?!
- Comment on Spotify to raise prices in September 3 weeks ago:
Tha is for the long reply.
Did not know the radio function existed. On mobile at least I can’t find it on the artists page? I have to go into the … Menu on a track in a playlist?
I listen to a lot of instrumental stuff while working, so I may be going too indy? Someone like soundcriters should should have something on their page?
I dislike that you have to go to a playlists page to play it in shuffle, you can’t do it from the playlists menu.
Double clicking should play a track but doesn’t.
- Comment on Spotify to raise prices in September 3 weeks ago:
They don’t have any other recommendations apart from those human made ones though? Couldn’t find what I wanted.
The UI is awful and their artist pages are normally blank for indy artists.
The migration is pretty seamless though, and they apparently pay their artists way better.

- Comment on is there any way to invest ethically as a sole individual? 1 month ago:
Most of the ‘green’ funds really are not.
I found one group that actually does really green funds though: www.edentreeim.com. Specifically their green infrastructure fund for actual green energy stuff. (This should do better as interest rates come down)

If they are delivering anyway, why not deliver second class too? Just gives them more work on other days

Care to explain then?
I didn’t want to dig out the EULA for more context of that snippet.

That’s saying that if YOU stop the agreement, you have to delete the game though.

From the dot graph, it implies that las Vegas is one of the worse options? And Birmingham is somehow best?
Not sure I’m reading that right?

Or the opposite! They put bike lanes in that just exist to avoid roundabouts… That lose you the right of way!
Useless things. Some are just long enough to give you hope before they spit you back onto the road with no warning.
- Comment on Students in England now graduate with average debt of £53,000, data shows 2 months ago:
Also to be clear, this is more like a graduate tax than a loan.
You pay back 9% of whatever your earn over £26k and whatever you owe is written off when you are 50 something. It doesn’t count on credit reports etc.
It’s not great though as high earners end up paying way less over their life as they pay it off early.
- Comment on Students in England now graduate with average debt of £53,000, data shows 2 months ago:
They did it to get a referendum on a new voting method. They chose a shit one no one wanted though
- Comment on Students in England now graduate with average debt of £53,000, data shows 2 months ago:
Repayments are 9% of your salary above £26k. If that’s less than interest (inflation +3%!) then it goes up.
It gets written off at 50 something (… probably)

Depends on the ISP, my old one just handed out Fritz box routers with nothing locked down. Still using it now with the new ISP!
