The difference between what Russian tech is “supposed” to do and what it actually does has been, historically speaking, significant. I’ll believe this if they manage to credibly get one single munition past a Patriot emplacement or past Aegis. Until then it’s all talk.

The entire GOP would be on site the next day after his interment to spring him loose and take turns sucking him off.

Anecdotal, but I’ve never once had a problem with any function of Firefox in the decade I’ve been using it. On the contrary it’s been the most stable browser I’ve had the pleasure of using, orders of magnitude more reliable in all situations than Chrome or Opera ever was.

This post smells of astroturfing. There’s been an awful lot of “why is Firefox so shit?” posts recently, now that Google is proving itself untrustable.

Well, sure hope you haven’t done a lot of existing in public lately, because damn near everything out there has my tax dollars in it, and I’d appreciate you not abusing them. Get off my roads, get out of my schools, get out of my parks, unless you’re paying into them.

Also, keep an eye out for the nice men knocking at the door. They’ll be there soon with some questions, I’m sure.

Brought to us by the same people that claimed Russia was fighting with WWII shovels, end of war is near, sanctions will kill the Russian economy, etc.

Hence why they’re now pressing students and immigrants into emergency armed service. Because they’re getting their asses beat. This all checks out. A stable country with a well functioning modern military doesn’t extend a 3 day operation into 3 years, lose half a million troops, and then press-gang their students into the draft. These are signs of failure.

More like, you know damn well that Jim keeps passing code reviews without reading a line in them, he’s been talked to, still does it, and you need something actionable to prove it so that you can get someone’s ass in his chair who does their job.

Back in the bad old days, doctors and med students would outright go rob a grave in the dead of night to get materials. I think it’s better for everyone this way that “corpse collector” is a paid profession.

Watching an AI’s sanity leak out in real time is fascinating

I fucking love this post and reference it constantly to my programmer friends. It’s one of my favorite bits of writing to exist, honestly.

For that matter, actually, pretty much everything Peter Welch writes is great. I highly recommend taking a peek through the rest of his blog. I liked it so much I bought one of his books.

Tesla would not be where it is today without his intervention.

Yeah, I might have actually bought one without his intervention.

Depends on the project. Dwarf Fortress for instance survived about a dozen years completely on donations. But that’s a video game, not a tool (and one that people feel quite strongly about as well).

I mean, Vsauce made a 3 hour video of just saying prime numbers in sequence, nothing else. 18m views.

I turned it to Japanese voices so I didn’t have to hear the god awful English voice acting and it’s improved my experience a lot

I hope they add a localization patch so I can change it to something fun like Spanish or German

I mean, ha ha funny joke, but realistically, yes. Someone with no money and no friends or family with money is a waste to advertise to. You fly under the radar by virtue of being a statistically bad investment. You’ll still get hit with all the same shotgun-style advertisement that the rest of us do, but you’re unlikely to find yourself being a priority for targeted advertisement. It’s a little bit of a silver lining to an unhappy situation.

Teaching someone the wrong way to do something frequently makes the right way make way more sense. Someone who just copy/pasted 99 near identical if statements understands on a fundamental level when, why, and where you use a for loop much more than someone who just read in the textbook “a for loop is used to iterate elements in a collection”.

You’re not allowed to keep Jackie hopped on stims in the Delamain until you reach Vic but two hours earlier you had a cutscene moment where you stim a hostage to wake her back up from basically death.

It’s fucking bullshit

Leviathan doesn’t work as a first name, you’ll get picked on. That’s one that you need to keep on reserve as a middle name so it can be pulled out when necessary.

Meanwhile Sigurd Felix Wolfgang Atreides has 5 kids and two wives by the fifth grade and will be the coolest kid you’ve ever met.

I genuinely believe something like this is what some of my professors wanted me to submit back in school. I once got a couple points off a project for not having a clarifying comment on every single line of code. I got points off once for not comment-clarifying a fucking iterator variable. I wish I could see what they would have said if I turned in something like this. I have a weird feeling that this file would have received full marks.

Didn’t know Santa Claus was a politician

I can defeat the world’s most dangerous apex predator in unarmed one on one combat. The human. It’s me, I would defeat myself, I would die trying to fight off any animal in this thread.
