  • Balatro does have a lot going on graphically and even my pixel 8 pro starts to heat up when playing it. The game’s art style may be pixel art, but there are a lot of shaders on all the cards and the cards themselves are either 3d or have some perspective stuff going on to make them able to rotate away from the camera

    also, there’s the giant shifting background which is another complex shader that can’t be turned off.

    I think the game has been optimized since release a bit, but still, it’s not just simple card images.


  • the term normally refers to a developer that can be productive in every layer required for a typical application to work.

    They can do the front end design/styling/implementation and are familiar with front end languages and frameworks

    They can do the backend API design and are familiar with the typical backend languages and patterns.

    They can do the database table design, write and optimize queries.

    They can handle the ci/cd scripting that handles building and deploying the application

    They can design and write the automation tests and are familiar with the libraries used for that.

    And a bunch of other crap like load testing or familiarity with cloud services.

    The latest thing added to the list is AI model creation which is a nightmare… but, I can’t say no 🤷‍♂️








  • my understanding is that minoxidil addresses half the problem and finasteride addresses the other half… it’s something like minoxidil increases the blood flow and finasteride thickens the hair (usually male pattern baldness is like just your hair is too thin to break through the skin or something?)

    if you’re gonna try, I’d say it’s not worth it unless you’re doing both at the same time. It works really well for some people, but I’m too worried about the side effects to try

    plus, I save so much money just shaving my head 😂
