Gabe is absolutely right on this. If it doesn’t completely recenter the first person shooter genre, it’s not really a half life game.

Aka “Windows subsystem for Linux”

Also this classic xkcd

Oh no. Are you telling me that an xkcd numbered in the 2000s is a “classic” now? Yikes

Even if you do have an MMU, there’s no guarantee that you’ll get a segmentation fault from a memory bug. You can still just get the weird side effects, if you fail to access the incorrect memory.

Undefined behaviour means exactly that. You have no idea what you could get.

Once upon a time, straight outta school, I wrote up solutions to problems from the Serway physics book. For Chegg. $5 per problem.

Fuck Chegg.

And the Star Trek memes.

I dunno. I was mostly just trying to explain why the federal government might care about video game pricing at all.

If only there was some way to regulate corporations.

It’s called the Sherman Antitrust Act, and it’s why this promise was made and why the FTC cares about it now.

For example, synaptic is a long running front end for apt that has the buttons for update and upgrade.

Pro tip: EU membership comes with its own defense pact among just the EU members. Whether you join NATO or not.

Get a bigger monitor, just like the software dev has.

Oh yeah. I remember all the warnings plastered all over the X11 config file about how dangerous the settings were if you got them wrong.

Except the “emergency capsule” is all of them, including Starliner. Because Starliner is perfectly capable of returning to earth safely.

Because every thruster that has shut down has hot fired okay, and the known helium leaks still leave enough margin to cover several multiples of the 5 hours or so of RCS operation that you need to get to landing.

Discarded corn cobs and pages from the Sears Roebuck catalog. At least in midwestern USA.

When the gp’s book says that C is a third generation language: I would guess the first generation is Fortran and the second generation contains ALGOL and BCPL. C was heavily influenced by BCPL. (get it? C comes after B)

The deal with LLMs is that it’s very difficult to say which piece of training material went into which output. Everything gets chopped up and mixed, and it’s computationally difficult to run backwards.

My understanding of the image generators is that they operate one pixel at a time too, looking only at neighboring pixels. So in that sense, it’s not correct to say they understand the context of anything.

Like, there’s lots of information about Bilbo Baggins in Lotr, that doesn’t mean it was written in the third age of Middle Earth homie

The conceit of the LOTR appendices is that Lord of the Rings, as published in English, is really just the Red Book that Bilbo writes at the end. Dr. Tolkien merely found the manuscript somewhere and has graciously translated it from Third Age common language into English for the benefit of us modern people.

The wrinkle in this case is that the thumb print giver was in parole. The conditions of parole stated that failure to divulge phone pass codes on phones could result in arrest and phone seizure “pending further investigation”. The parole conditions didn’t say anything about forcible thumb print taking.

So the logic here seems to be:

• If he had agreed to unlock the phone then the result would be the same.
• If he refused to unlock the phone, that is a legitimate grounds for arrest. Fingerprinting is a routine part of being arrested, so there’s really no harm if it’s done on a phone in a patrol car. Either way, the result would end up about the same.

Dude, all the work is in the maps, and they generally sell them proportional to the amount of map content. There are two benefits:

1. Studio doesn’t have to staff up to do all the content at once, but they still get paid periodically for what they do produce. This keeps the staff employed longer in a more stable position.

2. You can pick and choose which areas you want to get. If you want a big bundle, those still show up on Steam too at various levels of discount. But you’re not locked into having to deal with Ohio too.

If you add the fat first, the mushrooms are going to release so much liquid that you just have to boil that off anyway.
