12/14 - Wintersday Wednesday!

Confirmed. Inappropriate-"I-can't-rant-about-this-publicly" ChrisTurk is really funny.

 

And batches seem to drop around the same time depending on the requester right.

 

Very few requesters have a schedule. Most are random or one off.

 

That makes sense as to why I see some of the same requesters post at random times

 

Thats why when you find something you like, toss the requester id in HF so you can get alerted for when it posts again.

 

Funny looking maybe...

 

Thanks for the tip I'll have to start using HF, currently just using PC.

 

Remember a few months ago when captchas went away? Yea me too. That was great.

 

LOL. My favorite part of the documentation is their assumption that nothing can go wrong. I have yet to see a single page with an error section. It just assumes everything works 100% of the time.

I think my biggest "fuck off" moment was simply entering my access keys. Their default example is like:

Code:

access_key = [ABC123]
secret_key = [SUPERSEKRET]

Well, I copy/pasted my keys into the brackets and it wouldn't work. But there was 0 documentation on return errors and all the error said was that my keys were invalid. So I regenerated them. Then I googled, and it just said 'make new ones' or other useless advice. Or even worse, no help at all but the OP comes back to say "nevermind I fixed it" without leaving the fix. Two of the amazon docs totally contradict each other on the manner of generating keys (one says you have to use IAM/AIM, one says root is fine) even. One of them is clearly outdated and no longer relevant to the CLI too (forget if its the web version or the doc bundled w/ it)

Then, on like page 5 of Google results, in an off handed comment on a SO exchange, someone mentioned removing the brackets.

I cried. Yeah, that's technically PEBKAC, but surely they could have better examples/error documenting.

 

AMZ Drone Force 1 is ready for duty captain....

As long as it doesn't run into mine I'm fine with it. Maybe its time to make a little pirate ship drone >.>

 

This reminds me of this game. If my productivity plummets today, I'm blaming you.

 

My friend is a drone photographer/ does some other fancy drone crap for a living and she made some badass videos over thanksgiving of us blowing shit up on our farm.

 

This game made me realize that RPGs are not for me.
Dead serious, i could barely pay enough attention to the first little level/port thing to figure out wtf to do.

 

Yeah, I admit that the opening was really long and very hand-holdy. Once you actually got control of your own ship though and became kinda open-world, it was VERY enjoyable.

All I remember was someone saying shit like "well he was last seen in the whatever direction, so head north/south/east/fuckoff" and I just looked at my bf and asked him when i got to start blowing shit up.
