I've met someone employed as a dev, who not only didn't know that the compiler generates an executable file, but actually spent a month trying to change the code, not noticing that 0 of their code changes were having any effect whatsoever (because they kept running an old build of mine)

it's not becoming boomers. It's about rarely meeting one who knows that, for example, wifi is not the internet. I'm not asking for detailed tech knowledge. But getting a blank face if asked something as simple as "where did you save the file?" or replying with "in the gallery/google photos" means you are not tech savvy. these are the absolute basics.

no, the truth is it's impossible even then. If the result involves randomness at its most fundamental level, then it's not reliable whatever you do.

nope, it's a waste of a button. I hate that button with a passion.

no, he wasn't. The trip doesn't last for 48 hours. He consumed the mushrooms 48 hours beforehand.

read "as a service" and was immediately turned off tbh.

edit: as in that phrase immediately conjures up thoughts of subscriptions. Might want to call it something more appealing

1 KiB is addressed by exactly 10 bits. 1 MiB is addressed by exactly 20 bits. 1 GiB is addressed by exactly 30 bits. 1 TiB is addressed by exactly 40 bits.

1KB is addressed by 9.9657842846621 bits. 1MB is addressed by 19.931568569324 bits. 1GB is addressed by 29.897352853986 bits. 1TB is addressed by 39.863137138648 bits.

I know which one looks cleaner to me...

that doesn't mean we get better games on the xss, but that we get worse games on xsx and ps5. I paid for that power, I want my games to use it. I don't care that it doesn't run as well on a lesser console I deliberately chose not to buy because of its lesser power

why the hell is everyone so focused on the fetus' rights when it was the mother's rights that were denied?

Or is everyone assuming the mother just didn't have any rights?

the red flag for me is that they have anything to do with cryptocurrencies at all. Anything else is superfluous details.

I view anything to do with cryptocurrency as a scam. Which, I have found, is the safest bet to make.

well I don't count android as linux, so no.

If I had to replace my linux desktop with an android "desktop" I'd probably abandon general purpose computing completely. Windows is still infinitely better than android on a desktop.

Some people use their desktop to get shit done, not just to doomscroll passively
