At my workplace, we use it for East-West traffic, especially the central Identity, Authentication and Authorization service which every other service needs to access, and it works great for that use case (Since it allows the downstream services to fetch information however they like). REST can do that too, but it will be cumbersome to say the least. Although GraphQL performance has come under scrutiny lately.

Wait, I thought gravity is not a “force” but the curvature of spacetime, so at some point the curvature gotta end or be disturbed by some other source nearby, right? A star so far away is not exerting any “force” on me as I already have two massive objects Earth and Sun twisting the spacetime around me so much. I could however be getting some gravitational waves from that star but not sure how strong they’d be or if they reach me at all (again given Sun and Earth).

(NOTE: I’m an engineer not a physicist so my understanding could all be wrong)

Yes that’s good advice. Thanks.

My favorite was the first Talos Principle, TP2 is also great, but the suspense in the story of 1 was so much I found it hard to put the game down (My Steam year in review shows I played it for 37 days straight). The puzzles in TP1 were also harder (TP2 had hard optional puzzles but the story was so long that I lost all will to do even 1 more puzzle by the game end, plus there’s no fast travel to those optional puzzles)

I didn’t like Titanfall 2 on the Steam Deck, the game is fine, but FPS games just dont work for me with joysticks.

Just finished the Talos Principle 2. Now installing Hades.

I feel if I’m switching things often, even trying out a distro and going back to PopOS, ansible should save time in the long run. Plus, I can make my ansible yaml configs install software depending on the distro and package manager, right? I’m learning ansible as I go.

Do you know a good beginner friendly tutorial for NixOS, I could try it in a VM first.

I just want it to get to a usable state pretty quick on a new distro, and also to go back quickly to pop-os if I don’t like the new stuff. That’s why trying out ansible for this.

Elixir is such a beautifully designed language, my favorite language BY FAR.

(I want an Elixir job too 🥹 )

I am playing Sifu on my Steam Deck. It’s a Kung-fu fighting game with linear story and levels, perfect for mindless half hour or so after work and life. So far the game has been great, with satisfying combat that I’m trying to master.
