How strange. We have that joke too in our office for Azure pipelines. Do they use the same agents perhaps?

LittleBox | 1 year ago | on: Is Iceland getting ready to join the EU?

Really dumb question: What does the EU actually do?

I’ve read a lot about them and it’s basically always the same as reading information about it here: people saying the EU brings a lot of benefits and another person in reply of that comment saying it’s actually a non-EU treaty/document that’s to thank for that.

On the other hand the EU seems like it costs the country a lot of money to be in since the country has to do their part in supporting failing economies that are also part of the EU.

LittleBox | 2 years ago | on: Minetest: An open source voxel game engine

There is another Minecraft-like called Vintage Story, which I like a lot. I love the effort that the Minetest team is making but the game's development doesn't seem to be going anywhere as of right now due to a lack of direction. I feel being a game that is fully open source is not doing any favors.

I don't know if it's possible under license but it might be able to pick up some steam if a large, for-profit mod came along.

LittleBox | 3 years ago | on: A hundred UK companies sign up for four-day week with no loss of pay

> I think the average worker actually prefers just being required to work a certain amount and as long as you aren't extremely bad at your job, you'll be fine even if you have a slow week/month. Rather than being frequently being audited for results and pressured to work longer hours to keep your output up with everyone else.

I agree. It seems like this is another new trend that's coming up because we still haven't found the solution to high-stress IT work. I don't think this is it.

LittleBox | 3 years ago | on: Video gaming may be associated with better cognitive performance in children

I always find it hard to say anything of value about a subject like this. I used to not believe in these things at all. But now that I think about it, gaming did get me into programming with Roblox. I'm also quite adept at puzzle solving and in general spotting things that are out of the ordinary. I guess I could attribute that to my great love for the legend of Zelda series but I'm no expert in this field. So, who knows...

Now I finally found out where the app Sleep as Android gets its "space station" ringtone from!

LittleBox | 3 years ago | on: Ask HN: What game do you wish existed?

For the King is a game I don't the mentioned a lot but it's great. It's much like divinity original sin but more roguelike. My girlfriend doesn't like divinity but absolutely loves For the King.

LittleBox | 4 years ago | on: ADHD Accommodations Guide

A lot of people seem to be disagreeing with you but I definitely agree with what you said.

I too have ADHD and I hate it when I see it being treated as a crippling disability. It's really not. ADHD is much more common than people would think. As for everyone, people with ADHD learn to cope with their weaknesses and play into their strengths. For a person with ADHD it's about finding what works and doesn't work for them, not about shaping the entire world around them to make them fit. It will only make them feel worse.

I learned to do it and I'm seen as a respected member of my team today. I am seen as somewhat of a quirky oddball too though with how I always do things, but nothing that can't be solved by just being positive and laughing with your colleagues. They'll treat you with respect.
