Hey, that's great. I'm not sure it's a way to reach full communism, but good on them.

I don't think it's minimizing to acknowledge that sexism is endemic and cuts both ways.

I dunno, maybe I just had crappy indexers but usenet was always more miss than hit for me. Maybe it's superior to public torrents but private trackers are the gold standard.

I used mutt back in the day, opening vim for message editing.

In a certain way, it does feel close. We can't figure out how to go faster than light, but we could theoretically get to a significant fraction of c and 20 years isn't such a long time to plan for in terms of getting a probe there to start relaying messages that take 20 years to get back.

I mean, it's the span of a career, but people could conceivably work on the launch and live to see it return data.

Hasta luego, Shoshanna!

Right. GCC -f optimizations are basically like "how hard are we going to try to be clever" and are, I believe, orthogonal to the actual instructions used. Machine dependent args start with -m, like -march or -mavx etc.

It really depends on where you are and who you know. Half the Catholics I've met have been social justice leaning progressives, the other half are single issue Trump voters.

Already happens on streaming, at least with TV. Watched a few episodes of House a while back and they changed the great Massive Attack theme to some generic sound-alike. Honestly put me off a rewatch more than some of the other parts of the show that didn't age well.

This is a weird take. Rust is very popular and is the current heir apparent to C for systems level stuff. It's a great choice to start a new DE/toolkit.

As for the rest, you're right the end user doesn't care about the language their graphical app is in, but the developers fielding their bug reports and making fixes/features sure do.

Sims 3 was my favorite for the open world and freelance jobs too. Was nice to be able to secure an income without disappearing off the map for 8 hours a day. Was surprised 4 didn't follow through on that as much but I only played it a little.

My wife plays Sims with cheats all the time and I get that it becomes a fancy interactive dollhouse in that case, but to me the game is all about that progression from bachelor in a one room box to old family man in a mansion.

Yeah, she's actually got a pretty great arc on the show. Even becomes a qualified bridge commander because of that episode.

And, honestly, I think a lot of her sex symbol rep in the '90s was because the public wasn't ready to take mental health seriously. Some of her counseling scenes have aged pretty well IMO, and her contribution to the crew was very valuable.
