shaped to look like a bone

I hope you mean wing otherwise that makes even less sense to me

Oh nice those 40 bit addresses, just what we needed to spice up our IPv4 and IPv6 dual stack world

With the short variable you probably also get shadowing. That’s super fun in a new code base.

Or another favourite of mine: The first time I had to edit a perl script at work someone had used a scalar and a hash with the same name. Took me a while to realize that scalars, arrays, and hashes have separate namespaces, and the two things with seemingly the same name were unrelated.

I thought Deep Rock Galactic was PvE anyway

That reminds me of something similar my ISP said. “Don’t be afraid of the bandwidth”, if you give your customers more bandwidth they aren’t actually going to fill it, they’ll still run roughly the same downloads just more quickly.

Here it’s at 12:10 in this video archive of their talk at RIPE: https://ripe84.ripe.net/archives/video/797/

And here when they gave the same talk at SwiNOG they also mentioned how their network ring in Wintherthur is still pretty much equally loaded after 10G and 25G home connections became available: https://youtu.be/wXmJCzMeIBo?t=1195

It may act on the whole market, but it doesn’t have the same impact on every OEM.

It’s a bigger issue for Valve than the console competition, who have established supply chains potentially with fixed prices for certain terms or at least more significant volume discounts, and proprietary compatibility hurdles binding their customers, so they can sell hardware at a loss if they want to.

If Valve sells the computers at a loss they run the risk of people buying them for other uses, without generating corresponding Steam profits.

I originally thought the Steam Deck would be enough for that, but it appears not yet. Maybe the combined share can move the needle

Probably like 30 out of the 200. It really is a ridiculously common name.

Edit: I just looked it up, 20% of South Koreans are called Kim.

I reckon it works a bit like Unix.

But seriously unless you’re a systems engineer with 15 years of experience you probably don’t know how any popular OS works (note, I’m not either, I don’t know shit). They are huge beasts with astonishing complexity.

I spent a semester writing a microkernel OS with three other students. We got the init sequence working, memory management working, a shell accessible over UART, FAT32 on an SD card, a little bit of network, and a minimal HTTP server for the demo. And this was considered a big accomplishment worthy of top grades.

And that’s only the scratching the surface of what makes an OS, just think of all the other things you need. Journaling filesystems, user and rights management, hundreds of drivers for devices and buses* full networking support, with dual stack, DNS, tunneling, wifi, then things like hibernation, sleep, power management in general, container and virtualization support, NUMA support, DMA support, graphical output, clocks and time sync, cryptography primitives and TPM support, etc etc

*I did USB only for mass storage once, that also took me a semester, and I bet PCIe is much harder.

I must have a weird sample then. My uncle specifically wants that because he doesn’t want to have a separate phone. So he has a Galaxy Tablet. And a colleague at work recently inquired how she would log in to the phone company website to charge the prepaid plan if she can’t get the login SMS.

MacBooks are pretty practical. ARM laptops like MacBooks have genuinely ridiculously good battery life; I was genuinely shocked the first time I used one.

Yeah agreed, have one at work. I just really dislike their software.

iPads cant even send SMS or make calls. The most gimped of tablets.

The rest of your list seems reasonable

Some additional historical context, at the time where Timothy was going to minister, many pagan priestesses held gatherings where they would shout and show skin and attracted participants with sex and a show

That is hard to believe and sound more like a post hoc rationalisation. Did you get this context from a good source, or was it a partial one, like a christian minister?

Ah, I thought she was calling her meat

I have to go to Uni Fribourg soon anyway, I’ll try to swing by to have a look. Thanks for the hint!

But you could still just walk by the normal checkouts if you don’t have anything

Ah yeah, of course. I thought that was the same in the location of the article, but maybe I misunderstood and that’s the main issue.

After re-reading it I’m still confused by this paragraph:

During my Monday visit, I purchased a kombucha and went through the check-out line without incident. (No high-tech gates block the exit if you go through the line like normal.) But for journalism’s sake, I then headed back into the store to try going out the new gate.

I have seen scan gates after self checkout counters before. In Albert Heiijn shops in Amsterdam and in Lidl Shops in Zürich.

But Coop and Migros Shops don’t have them in Switzerland. I think the 7/11 in Copenhagen also didn’t but I’m not sure of my memory.

That will be even worse

Makes sense, you keep the furniture too after all

Radiating the heat away is no problem is you don’t take up much in the first place.

But then you’re also not computing much. All the electrical energy you take up is also turned into heat and radiation.
