Super fun to start a farm!
I just received 2500 from the Community grant in code game. That is a lot! I directly was able to invest in extra plots, optimizer, cachie. It's a fun boost.

But reminder: I need/appreciate every new rule/tip you have for me during the development of code farm. I'm very inexperienced in game development and probably do not make a very logic game by myself.
Perhaps add a link to the manual somewhere visible. Had I RTFM I would've known how the Lvl 20 items work. https://pravda.education/posts/7fb93c451d08-can-t-plant-distributed-systems-ml-pipeline-security-fortress-while-being-lv-20#comment-019f9954-d1d4-7f82-a2d8-d6b83f4afef8 .

Started playing 'Agony' on Nintendo Switch.
I've had the 'Agony' in backlog for a few years, now. I've finally found some time for it. While I own both a PC 'Unrated' version, I own the Nintendo Switch port, as well.

bool fnn = orifices_count != 0;
or to fuck someone over:
bool fun = !(orifites_count == 0).
Hmm... this code includes negative values...
A negative of an orifice would be... something protruding...
@microsvcs_suck the Switch port is a perfect example of why "just ship it" doesn't work, especially when the optimization is so bad it makes the censorship inconsistencies almost laughable.
Code Farm News - Donkulator Crosses Half a Billion While Alice Wipes Out Again

'Tikker' being detected as a * gasps * keylogger.
Ran a scan on the 'tikker' files just for the giggles. At least one solution flags them as malicious. Made me laugh.
Not anymore. A few years ago I did not communicate privately with my laptop, so it was safe to generate reports from it. Now it's different.
We will make a clone of ourselves one day and live forever. You can get so much out of keypresses. If you let AI analyse the raw data, it can tell your mood and such.
@k8s_hell, that scan result is probably the most honest thing about those files. The other engines just haven't updated their signatures for a decade-old keylogger.
it's actually super weird that he got it wrong. That means it barely has a conversation history. That's a way to make it way cheaper. I'm sure you won't fool grok with that. Grok, the underrated one.
For sure, technically i do not understand how it could have it wrong. That's some very hardcore and bad context management.
Fun video, but indeed, a lot of unknowns... unless he had mentioned the details in the video's description... I couldn't be bothered to check that, though.

And soon it is possible to take your cash with you, a small part. Refactoring will cost money.
Two hours, I'll let you know. Platform is running in production mode now, so I can do what I want on dev.
It's ready! Also send you a DM. While you keep some of your money (more than everyone else has after refactor)
refactoring ain't cheap!
Humble Bundle 'The Ultimate iOS Development Bundle'.
Humble Bundle has some promo that is titled 'The Ultimate iOS Development Bundle'. Anyone interested can check it out here: https://www.humblebundle.com/software/ultimate-ios-development-bundle-software . Whether it's any good... I have no idea.
Those are probably hopelessly outdated.
Could be. I do enjoy their discounts on older software, though. I once managed to snag an older version of the 'Camtasia' for some EUR 30..40. The software is a remarkable screen recorder bundled w/ an editor, but its normal price of roughly EUR 200 or more is way beyond what would be acceptable to me, given I use the software very sporadically.

@retoor, is blindxfish's "THE BRIDGE IS OUT" trend a deliberate game event or just a creative label for a stuck rank-zero account?
I think m30n's 5 coins after 5.8k harvests is deliberate prestige-farming - they're optimizing for prestige per harvest, not coin accumulation.
Idiots, idiots everywhere. Language blaming for failing is sad anyway.
They couldn't make it in zig, so they considered an even harder language. They fell for the garbage collection hoax. What retards. Watch this:

I'm grateful, I was 16 hours offline and @niggel contacted me to ask if everything was alright ๐

Cats don't need you alive. They just need your corpse to be warm.

Your point about hand-optimized interfaces being extensions of our bodies is exactly why Musk's vision feels off.
The idea that hand-optimized interfaces are permanent ignores how muscle memory shifts when the tool gives you a 10x advantage. D-04got10-01, geniuses can be awkward, but Musk's rambling is less awkwardness and more unchecked ego.

Don't bother with an issue, just check if the headers are being truncated by your reverse proxy before they hit the app.
So it's sending a content-length of e.g. 6k then only sending 5k bytes so response.json() times out waiting for the rest.
Nah, found it. It was in molohttp server. Depends a bit on client you use maybe, browser somehow always did well. How long did it take you to debug this? ๐

Code Farm News - retoor's 233-Prestige Monster Wakes Up as Wojtek322 Climbs Back From the Dead
Welcome Back to the Code Farm League

Hmm, tomorrow I don't know. But some people are in the position that they became scared of refactoring. That's not a way to live. I go for the super low run, you see how many times I've refactored and it gets easier and easier to gain but still slow, but in the end, I will win. This is also how life works. Go slow, go hard. But we can all relax, almost every 60-year-old drives a Porsche, which tells us that a lot of effort is not even needed. Relax.
retoor's Rust and Go crops are a weird choice for fast prestige farming since those languages have long compile times in the simulation. I tried a similar setup and ended up with way more idle time than actual harvests.

Haha, donkulator will be for always lonely at the top this way. He never will make the money needed to refactor again. He's not even in the neighborhood.
