Almost identical boat here. Had a borrowed TI-83, freshman year wrote 2048 && 1/2 of chess with only knowing basic variable usage, if, goto, and matrix indexing. Found out about actual loops and the ability to call a basic prog

I've contacted my congressmen and I would also advocate for telling/explaining this to non technical people you know. They either won't have heard of this or won't know whats bad about it.

Even if code is mechanism and not speech, I'd hope being forced to tell anyone you ever interacted with online your age would be compelled speech..

I doubt it's the only option, just one with benefits to those with interest to censor and control others. I imagine some more tweaks in the algorithms could do quite a bit.

As someone who would vote for voter ID, I would also vote just as fast to provide tax payer funded help so any US citizen can vote, regardless of financial situation.

So how would you recommend ensuring only citizens vote and only do so a max of once per election?

At 3.5 mil pounds that has to be the full rocket. But quick [1]googling is giving an even higher total mass number... 1. https://www.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/sls-5640-sls...

Mass higher up the rocket costs several multiples more mass in propellant and propellant handling lower in the rocket. And the more deltaV you want the higher the multiplication. (If I remember right some weight issues of some kind on the A

I've used a Pinephone on 2 diffrent carriers for at least months each already.

I was thinking 1984, or if I can return a float, NaN.

To be fair while the Pinephone is quite common, it's SOC is so bad you only get opengl ES2.0 I would not blame anyone for ignoring it early on. You'd have to make sure the graphics stack works on it in particular. Written on a Pi

I'm not sure this is an unpopular opinion. I've seen it suggested multiple times, and IF done correctly (open/transparent) would solve most of the complaints with the ring-zero anti cheats. Still won't solve every cheat,

I would normally figure this out by reading motherboard manuals. Which for SKUs you can buy standalone tend to be on the manufacter's site with no account/paywall. They tend to include all the "if you populate this slot you l

While I'd love to see a successful ATX for phones (It's number 1 reason my desktop is x86, 2nd is Steam library). 1) The form factor really fights this. 2) Something needs to change with ARM, cause modular hardware would require d

To be fair, when I bought my Pinephone, I got the convergence one despite being unsure if I'd be able to use it as a daily driver. The price diff isn't much and well, I would rather have the slightly better specs. And I would assu

To be fair in this case, most would expect this to not be a viable business.

I install stuff from Debian's repos for 2 reasons. Convience & trust. And while people do complain when maintainers modify packages behavior, I think people would rather have the send my clipboard contents to someone else to be opt

Personally for me I only care about x86 for 2 reasons. 1) Steam library. 2) And the just works combo of ATX & the ability to use any ISO on almost any x86 machine. I'm personally scared if x86 dies the open market of ATX and bring

Pretty much every pixel rendered these days was generated by a shader so gpu side you probably already have way more translation options than just a 90° rotation (likely already being used for a rotation of 0°). You'd likely have to wr

Common no, very easy to proliferate though as people become aware of the savings possible. And the 2 cases I've seen where litteraly order the same model online and swap it, no configuring required. And it wasn't even the family t

I've been reading Hackernews in the morning and call/texting on my Pinephone for a few years now. The polish(and many times functonality) level is far less than Android/iOS. Depending on what you need/want will dictate i

Possibly, they did provide notice and time to migrate your account. But if you didn't read news on the launcher or didn't see a headline (both very possible if you wheren't playing at the time) you would have just 'lost&

I clicked this as I don't think there's a phone meeting my prefrences (repairable, runs mostly mainline linuix) that has esim. There all regular sim. So something like this could expand options carrier wise.

I'd argue the general population doesn't even know this trade off exists (not helped by the pros being advertised to users and the cons purposely not mentioned). Even then the minority (us) shouldn't be stopped from doing wha

I'll second thanking you for making D. I still haven't found a language with more compile time capabilities that I can/would actually use. So I'm still using D. Any thoughts on adding something like Zig's setFloatMo
