Female character during a time where only royals could afford cleanliness and health: is fit, healthy, and conventionally attractive

Male character during the same time: fuckin filthy, feeble, and gross

The simunitions course I took shot paint rounds. Makes it very obvious for the instructors to know if you got hit or not

I have a somewhat similar story.

I hid underneath a desk when it was my turn to play bad guy. It was one of those desks where the back wall doesn’t quite go all the way down and stops about 4 inches off the ground. I would shoot people’s feet when they walked by. It was hard to contain my laughter as people jumped up like they were scared of a rat running around.

It took 3 people walking through the room not knowing what was going on and thinking the room was clear before the 4th person actually stopped and looked behind the desk.

Me reading “Optimal Illusions”. The author seemed like she was on her way to blaming capitalists for optimizing for all the wrong things but then she suddenly took a hard right turn and proceeded to blame math instead of businessmen for why capitalism is out of control. Ended with a nice stroking of Sam Altman’s ego. She now lives on a tiny island in Washington where the liberal mathematicians can’t hurt her.

I’m gonna be looking for a new job soon and I’ve been reading stuff like this more & more. Makes me really scared. I guess reaching out to recruiters directly via LinkedIn is more important than ever. I also hope the AI software hasn’t made its way down to small/medium-sized companies yet, since those are the ones I’d rather work for anyways

I was hoping this would allow me to take over Bluetooth speakers that people use while skiing and replace their music with a PSA about how no one wants to hear their music

Jesus this isn’t a comic strip, this a 4 panel graphic novel

Windows + . to bring up emoji keyboard

Various Linux DEs have emoji keyboards too, I know KDE does

The ORIGINAL source code is copyrighted, but decompiling does not give you the original source code. Decomp tools give you generic variable names like unsigned_int_4 and then it’s up to you to decipher what the purpose of the variable even is and give it a relevant name. So it’s virtually impossible you’ll get a character-for-character match to the original.

Also, decomps have different levels of accuracy. You may get something that is a perfect behavioral match, even though there’s differences in the instructions being run. You may get an instruction-perfect match but not a byte-perfect match between the binaries.

IANAL but this is what I’ve learned from following decomp projects on YouTube

Computer science is more of a math degree than anything else

I imagine they poached a lot of Spacex engineers by simply telling them “we won’t make you work ungodly hours, nor will we subject you to a narcissistic manchild with no engineering education dropping in on your meetings and trying to tell you how to do your job”

This happens to me too, especially when it’s a computer that I haven’t used in a while, which makes me think that yeah it’s the arms race. It stops once my browser is open long enough for uBO to update

AI is such a loose term that calling anything with if-else statements “AI” wouldn’t be lying (I learned about decision trees in my university machine learning class and those are just giant nested if-else statements)

I like front ends so I have a record of what I have and have not played, and so I can easily pickup where I left off with series and playlists, but to each their own

My attitude was: If I’m going to spend money on the digital deluxe edition of the game, I’m sure as hell going to get my money’s worth.

By admitting to the sunk cost fallacy, you’ve really only proven my point. You’re gonna find ways to defend the game more than you should, unconsciously or not.

I know it’s hard, but in this current era of live service games recording metrics beyond just purchased copies of the game, you should vote with your play time, regardless of how much you’ve already put into the game.

Tbh this is also the attitude of cod players who stuck around after the BO6 release. Warzone especially took a huge step backwards. 20 Hz server-side updates for a battle royale game is pretty sad

HELL YEAH, DEFINITELY GONNA DO A DRY RUN OF MY TAXES!!

lol that happened?

I never used Pocket itself, but I do like having the grid of news articles on the new tab page, which I believe is powered by Pocket in some shape or form. Anyone know if that feature is going away too?
