It's not a cell phone. It is definitely a phone.

Isn't the character in Bioshock Infinite 'Elizabeth'? I'd also assert that by design, Elizabeth was meant to be a character that arguably didn't really need to be rescued, "she can take care of herself". T

Agreed; probably derived from the 'portal' connections some games use to bridge areas of a map without having to consider their geographical layout.

A snippy comeback that isn't remotely as clever as I thought it was. I am now quoting every other sentence of your reply as I try to both double down on my point and furiously back-pedal my use of the term.

HN comments, N levels deep: The subtle mention of a largely tangential but controversial topic is important to me. Here is an eight-paragraph thinly-veiled diatribe on why you are wrong.

Numbers wise, sure, there are certainly more invasive species out there. The trick with Kudzu is that, unlike ligustrum sinense, it invades in a much more literal sense, covering both other plants and the ground itself as far as it can. It

Discord is becoming a bloated slop fest. It has literally been implicated at times for bad gaming performance [1]. Remember when it used to just be a chat app? And don't get me started on its "quests" system, which may burst

It's such a cool concept, but yeah, when I've listened to it and Illuminate, it's also a bit scant on details too. Neat technology, even engaging, but not good for more than best-effort high level summaries.

This sounds like it would give our InfoSec team heart palpitations over the potential data leaks and new attack vectors.

Honestly, this opinion is borderline tinfoil hat territory, but I'd like to point out that between the sudden market expectation that fired hundreds of thousands of developers across multiple companies (in a very close time period!) an

Samsung has offered USB 3.0 support as far back as the Note 3 about 10 years ago. I enjoy the speeds on my own S23 when shooting 4k video and want to edit the dozens of GB it often generates. And the 'extra parts' don't seem

Thank you! I love analyzing graphics data like this.

I'm not certain HITS could capture what appears to be the temporal component of the network the author incorporates.

What a fascinating dataset they've constructed. Is the network available for download somewhere? I didn't see anything obvious.

Wouldn't that defeat the point of what static typing affords you? Before you "go along"?

Do you have any advice on how to keep the fabric ones clean? I've been concerned about food contamination over time (i.e. raw meats that leak, etc.).

I'm focusing on the mainstream iGPUs that dominate the market, which often run in the tens of watts. Indeed, mobile versions of dedicated GPUs with desktop counterparts pull their own. Apple is a bit of an exception to this with the

Because the iGPUs aren't keeping pace, and many of the biggest/most popular titles continue to push the envelope of fidelity. Ray tracing for example is becoming much more prevalent, and (done correctly) adds a significant amount

1.5 still has this issue, particularly with specific subjects (i.e. the owl) any time you step significantly beyond the stock resolution (i.e. 1024x512). SDXL, while more stable, can also suffer from this. The trouble is really the "wi

Paging LeVar Burton for endorsement. This looks like a Gen 1 VISOR. Neat tech, I wonder if getting too used to it could actually lead to degredation of your sight.

That certainly sounds like an express lane to burnout. Please take care of yourself, and consider the implications of peers who think it's OK to call you at these times. There are a lot of ways to say "no" without saying it.

The biggest mistake we (or at least I) repeatedly make on the internet is assuming we are debating with a person in a rational state of mind. Trolling, redirected anger, redirected sorrow, pride, ignorance social experiments, "for the

Laptops often force you to, given there's no real standard among them. Much as I love mine, the placement of FN and other special keys in a reduced area trips up my touch typing when I switch among them, especially when coding (when I

I think they were being sarcastic. But it's a bit challenging to conclusively measure someone's level of "smartness", especially with the usual time constraints of most hiring processes. More importantly, it also depends

I think it's around level 7, where there is an additional grey node on the way to a red node. All other red nodes appear to be leaves of branches/decisions (i.e. immediate consequences).
