Do people interpret 'huh' as a literal phonetic? I've always interpreted it to mean a number of different sounds people make—unlike, say, "oh" which is a literal sound associated with english. Naturally people liter

Why is that interesting? Seems like normal, on topic behavior.

This only makes sense for prioritizing the performance of individual processes, not scheduling a system of cooperating processes.

You’ve provided a standard list of values that are apparently worth more than human life.

They still force you to pay for dozens of channels you’ll never watch. They don’t have basic ad blocking for the tv content. How is it better than cable again?

Youtube premium gives access to youtube music. I had no idea Google Music still existed—I thought it was phased out for the youtube service.

Welp, apparently we aren’t shifting away from toxic publishing mechanisms any time soon.

I have no issues actually doing the things you’re mocking. I’m very secure in my own ability to contribute to society. Oh god not the rules! How will this produce complacent founders?

Thankfully it’s not up for individuals to decide.

Yup there’s that sociopathic alienation that’s normalized in the tech industry.

Youtube Premium is quite expensive for paying to remove ads and to download videos on mobile unless you’re also willing to use Youtube Music as your dedicated streaming service (and last I checked on the desktop there wasn’t even a way to d

I’m not sure what your point is—the internet always had wider applicability than war. Anyway, that neglects the point that both a MiG and military investment have piss-poor returns and you might as well burn the cash. Like how hard is it to

There’s no way you can pass off a fighter jet as a “hobby”. That’s intentional neglect of society at that point, and again to venerate a weapon.

Why do people venerate war machines? I understand the interest, but putting money into it? Surely there are better places that money can go.

I actually much prefer the usability of the haiku desktop environment, especially how it handles keyboard input compared to X11. It feels really well thought-out and polished.

I can’t speak for your fridge space, but eggs should still keep longer if you refrigerate. It’s not nearly as uncommon in europe as you might hear. That said, I respect clearing out that fridge space!

No idea why you were downvoted, this clearly contributes to conversation.

I gotta say, I’ve written thousands of lines of assembler and can count the times that inline assembly was clearly useful on one hand. The clear benefits seem to be readability and concentration of documentation.

Is that not true? Certainly you can find a period of time when populations in both England and Saxony spoke mutually intelligible tongues. This confusion seems to arise out of a deliberate misinterpretation of your quote out of bad faith, n

Batteries are good for N cycles (to simplify) and take M carbon to produce. If it cycles N times and is charged with fuel that emits <M carbon, that’s going to be a net carbon output surplus. This is expected and desired from solar to ha

I can’t be the only person who finds this kind of presentation hard to navigate on a phone. It’s also why I go to my desktop to use google street view.... ideally it would degrade to something more approachable with swiping gestures and&#x2

FWIW I mostly see AT&T when compiling against C codebases to a) avoid requiring a secondary assembler & wanting to support legacy binutils and b) because inline C is AT&T in practice, at least outside of windows (no clue what th

German is a pretty old language, just like most languages. English didn’t just pop into being in the sixteenth century either. This is just semantic handwringing that doesn’t add any understanding to the idea that english is a germanic lang

Sure, but who believes english comes from modern german? The OP is laying out a strawman of confusion. The article certainly does not make this claim. It’s being pulled from the OP’s ass with no context for a dopamine hit. Edit: removed acc

Do we have carbon neutral batteries yet? Last I saw the production chain for lithium-ion was not carbon neutral over the expected lifetime of the product but rather increased carbon emissions. I’m having a hard time finding numbers to compa

What’s the misunderstanding you’re trying to avoid with this distinction?
