Discord is okay if you’re on discord, though its search is kind of garbage.
If you’re not on discord though then it’s a content black hole that sequesters information away from the internet at large.
It’s easy to volunteer other people, but these are civil servants who inherently believe in the rule of law by default. That programming in itself makes it hard to go against this lifelong belief in doing things by the book.
It also means risking their livelihood, which I expect in many cases is an even greater deterrent than an aversion to rule breaking.
You’re largely correct, “decriminalized” doesn’t mean it’s legal, but I just wanted to point out that it doesn’t necessarily mean unenforced. Just that it’s no longer a criminal charge. Something can be decriminalized and still be in violation of the law and enforced with fines or other deterrents, e.g. traffic violations. You’re not a criminal for speeding, it’s still illegal and enforced.
Tell that to the person who implemented Tetris in Postgresql.
Because they’re not Microsoft support. Microsoft Answers is a user forum and the “MVPs” there providing “support” are at best volunteers and at worst bots.
For modest definitions of “beefy”. There are budget friendly options that will work just fine with a B-series Arc card, like an i5-12400.
You checked on that recently? The B series is much, much better.
The canteen at the Costco near me just got rid of straws entirely and uses lids made to drink directly from. Seems like an obvious solution to something that’s barely a problem.
Ads on a service I directly paid for was the line for me as well. I have no tolerance for that nonsense and it boggles my mind that anyone else does either.
If even a tenth of the subscriber base for any of these services cancelled because of ads they’d be gone so fast you’d get whiplash, and yet most people just put up with it.
The Nvidia Shield TV, which is amply powerful for most media purposes, has only 2GB of RAM and 8GB of storage, though is expandable via microSD.
The “Pro” version bumps that to a whopping 3GB of RAM and 16GB of storage… with no microSD card slot.
From the text it seems like a site only gets added to the navigation history if the user interacts with it.
Even fewer than that, since you’re not accounting for the actual rules of the game. You counted every possible arrangement of X’s and O’s on the board, but many of those aren’t valid game states, like all X’s for example.
On top of that you can also eliminate rotationally equivalent states. Ditto for mirrored states. Starting with an X in the top-right isn’t a meaningfully different state than starting in any other corner. There are effectively only three distinct starting states. Center, any corner, or any side.
On the other hand, there are semi-filled final states you’re not considering. Not every square on the board needs to be filled for a player to win. You’re also only counting distinct winning lines (many of which could be eliminated due to rotational equivalence), but not the turns to get there, which would provide several possible scenarios for a given final state.
All that said, I expect the actual number of unique possible games to be quite a bit lower than 500.
One-pedal driving is a feature in a number of modern cars.
It’s insane to me how stock prices are basically entirely disconnected from how a company is performing and are dictated by stock market buying and selling pressures.
You could pick literally any publicly traded company and make its stock price soar just by convincing enough people to buy it, with no relation whatsoever to how the company is performing or forecasted to perform. See: GameStop.
Nvidia tanked because a bunch of people sold Nvidia stock. Full stop. They may have been motivated by news of deepseek or whatever, but that’s not what moved the stock price. Had no one sold it would’ve stayed exactly where it was.
Frankly baffling that anyone can look at it and think “yes, this is how it should work and I don’t see any problems with it.”
There’s a Ray Bradbury short story called A Piece of Wood about a man who invents a device that rapidly decomposes any modern weapon in his vicinity. It doesn’t end well for him.
I add carbon dioxide. Fizzy water best water.
While I agree with this, I still think people who repeatedly bring up how opposed they are to something, apropos of nothing, are a bit strange and at best probably need to talk through some stuff.
Calling out your dislike of something when it’s presented to you is fine. A pattern of interrupting unrelated conversations to do so is a bit worrisome.
Counter point: The removal of your desktop environment should not under any circumstances be within the possibility space of side effects for trying to install a common piece of desktop software, regardless of the warnings provided or confirmations required.
This was an issue with the OS, and the Pop_OS! team fixed it in an update very soon after this. A month earlier or later and Linus would not have encountered it.
I’ve dabbled with Tekken but it never really hooked me. Always have a blast playing SoulCalibur though!
