Cross the wrong people and you end up not dead, but irrecoverable. Cement shoes, buried alive kind of stuff. Cross a different set of wrong people and you become a labrat. To avoid either scenario, you’ll be in a constant state of “undocumented” or false-documented which will keep you in a pretty consistent state of poverty.
I feel you’ve missed the point I was making and assumed I’ve made another. Age number and year number are different. You’re in your first year when your age is not yet 1. You’re in your second year when your age is between 1 and 2.
Years follow numbers as in "this year was the first/second/third year of ", not “this year was the year turned X years old”
The language is rooted in the same logic as people. Your first year was between the ages of 0 and 1. The first year before you were born is between -1 and 0. There is no 0th year because 0 is a point in time and not a range in time.
Love the CEO sketches! And they’re not even in the top five things Brennan has done, probably!
If you’re a little clever with interpolation, you don’t need to run at 1000s of frames per second! You’d just calculate how much time after the last frame it would take to cross the line at the last known speed and position.
Sir, did you just fill an old timey beer stein with soda?
Snaps are a relatively recent way of packaging application installations in certain flavors of Linux. Steam is Valve’s game distribution platform (amongst other things).
There’s an unofficial Snap package to install Steam and it apparently doesn’t work so good
American marriage tax codes are written to benefit the sort of couple with a stay-at-home-spouse. Having one person without an income (or with a significantly lower income) in the marriage effectively pulls you down in the tax brackets as a whole.
Now witness the firepower of this fully armed and capitalist hardware.
Fire at will, commander.
Homestuck.
Not in the reading of it, which I did out of the momentum of Bard quest and Problem Sleuth, but in the way that it rippled through the online media landscape and affected discourse and things like Undertale, webcomics, and crowd funding.
Not in any “profound” way, but in a measurably gigantic one.
On the other hand… Super Duper Key.
The double period is simultaneously the most elderly thing and outside of any style guide.
Yeah, between the image compression and resolution, a lot of things that should be ‘gaps’ in the letters are closing up. Like, the ‘s’ in ‘psuedorandom’ or ‘set’ looks like a squished-up ‘g’.
I can read individual words as I’m looking at them, but I’ve lost the ability to scan the line and parse words in my peripheral vision.
Multiple monitors, touch screens, tablet digitizers remain a letdown constantly. Not always fully broken, but falling just short enough that actually fixing it is a pain and just living without the feature (or Linux) is easier.
Despite being an ECE major, I didn’t really bother doing anything with Linux until two things happened at the same time:
I wouldn’t call myself an evangelist at all. If you’re doing something that I think will be specifically easier to do in Linux (mostly servers and specific kinds of software development), I’ll point out how… but I find that a lot of people’s advice on “use Linux and X FOSS tool” ends up being akin to giving someone bike shopping advice on which welding torch to use to construct their bicycle frame.
I’ve moved to Ubuntu after getting burned pretty badly with CentOS’s getting mistreated and eventually killed. Ubuntu feels stable enough, both in terms of their updates/quality and in terms of their corporate proceedings (such that I won’t get absolutely blasted by mandatory repos being closed down, for example).
You heard it that way because that’s because that’s the end of 1 Corinthians 13:11:
When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
C.S. Lewis is playing off of a Bible quote and that became its own thing.
I’ve had an impressively easy time finding particular messages as long as I had a decent idea of what servers it might have been in and at least one of the following:
Which has been way better than most other things I’ve bothered to search through like Reddit, Beehaw, or Mastodon (especially when it was limited entirely to hashtags). Lord help me if I want to find a particular post or comment on TikTok or Youtube.
Both Gmail and Outlook have dipped into having 2+ sidebar menus, with one of them permanent. And for both, it’s to shoehorn in features/flows that aren’t the thing I’m there for (e-mail).
The first I bought for myself was a PNY XLR8 GeForce GTS 250 in 2010. It tided me over for 4 years, until my power supply gave a loud POP, and I replaced pretty much the whole build just in case the other parts were damaged (or caused the damage).
