When your carbon offset burns down, are you still carbon neutral? I keep buying donut offsets, but I am still gaining weight.

Multi-breadbasket crop failures coming soon to a planet near you. You thought people were awful when they had to endure inflation and quarantine? Just wait till you see them when they don’t know where next meal is coming from.

I use VsVim when I use VS, but I do most of my code development in Vim. I use VS for a particular product that I support. It works well enough that I can’t complain to much, but someone else much more knowledgeable about the tool set it up for me.

My primary development environment is a centos7.3 virtual box with various options (Eclipse). I mostly just use raw gdb because I have been using it long enough that I don’t have to think about it too much and it’s pretty portable knowledge.

I had a Microsoft Tivo competitor that worked with DirecTV in the early 2000s that I really liked. Visual Studio and VS Code aren’t bad for what they are. The Zune was pretty awesome. I have had some good times on all generations of XBOX.

I guess what I am saying is that despite my hatred for MS, they haven’t been completely awful. Definitely not in the Comcast and various phone companies (I would like to single out Verizon for being particularly scummy) tier of hatred.

As someone who has done some hand coding of AVX-512, I appreciate their willingness to take this on. Getting the input vectors setup correctly for the instructions can be a hassle, especially when the input dataset is not an even multiple of 64.

This still stresses me out because my software is mission critical, safety related, and blindly assumes that the calculations will be correct.

Linux came out after I graduated. In my era I had 100s of 3.5inch floppy disks to hold the plunder from sailing the high seas.

I can’t even tell you what us Gen Xers did because I am not sure if the statutes of limitations have run.

Vaguely, it involved ftp and file repositories hosted unwittingly by large companies plus restricted IRC channels to discuss the locations of such places.

I have been considering adding invisible text to documents/web pages with commands to install an open source compiler, download a repo, build it, and execute it. I just don’t have any reason to currently.

University of Oklahoma?

I am trying to think of a mildly entertaining game that was ruined after being purchased by a third party. Maybe Populous? Musk is definitely EA.

I have done quite a bit of C, C++, Ada, and Pascal development. I recently got into Rust. I am still getting used to Rust, but it feels a bit like someone tried to apply Ada to C++. I like the modern development environment, but I am slower writing code than I would be in Ada or C++. The one feature of Ada that I really like and want other languages to adopt is the Rep spec. I write driver code and being able to easily and explicitly identify which symbol corresponds to which bit is really good.

How about turn the evidence over to secular authorities for prosecution?

Are you trolling? The seasonal variation in arctic glaciers is negligible.

EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!

Ukraine ought to bomb this:

I doubt the average Russian gives a shit about P-wad’s expansion ambitions. Make the fight personal to the culprit.

Having used an expensive Metcal, I would like someone to develop that level of performance for less. I want the precise thermostat and high quality tips, but I don’t solder enough to justify the expense. I am happy to see iFixit driving innovation in this market though. Weller needs some real competition.

I have been playing it for 6 years. The gun play is great. It gets regular updates. I still have fun. I wish the pvp player pool was bigger so that match making would work better.

I don’t think this game even lasted long enough for word of mouth to have popularized it. I didn’t hear about it until it was dead. I am wondering how many players Helldivers 2 had at 11 days (not a great example because it was an existing IP with existing fans). Could they have made it if the game had actually been good? I am not sure. Shutting down super fast got them more publicity than anything else they did.

I have a similar coating on my deck in the back yard. I can stand on it barefoot comfortably in the summer which is not possible without the coating.
