How did it take them 80 years to find a bomb in a back yard? Is it a large yard? Was the bomb buried?

Although not true, I give this a pass for being a Nirvana lyric.

OFF THE TOP ROPE!

Software developers who never have, and never will have to, use the software for real.

Yes. The customer doesn’t necessarily know what’s possible or know how to articulate what features they want. I spent one week in a position where I was using my own software for production and immediately made several simple enhancements once I had hands on experience with the expected business process.

Every programmer should go through an exercise like this at least once in a while.

Is that all it does? Is HP so backwards that they introduce a whole new attack surface just to store a date stamp?

…Actually don’t answer that.

There’s no way this would have been admissable as evidence on its own.

Sopranos, Game of Thrones. Basically anything produced for HBO.

I caught the first 2-1/2 seasons of The Wire because of a promotion on Hulu.

It boils down to: I’m a cheapskate.

On one hand, 360hz seems imperceptibly faster than 240hz for human eyes.

On the other hand, if you get enough frames in, you don’t have to worry about simulating motion blur.

They’ve been separate desktop environments from the start. From top to bottom they share nearly nothing. The compositors, window managers, toolkits and shells are all different.

They also are ideologically opposed. If they merged, which direction would they go? The more feature-rich KDE? Or the more streamlined Gnome? Such a merger would lead to infighting and stagnation.

This is before even talking about the actual code underlying both environments.

I think it’s better for everyone if they stay as two separate projects.

Cisco might have something to say about that name.

“The way our policies, procedures [and] training have been designed and implemented for many years have not had the voices of black people involved in the design, the implementation, of those practices. And as a consequence of that, we get disproportionate outcomes in places where there shouldn’t be disproportionate outcomes.

I was curious about specific examples of institutional racism so I started scouring the main report: https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm5802/cmselect/cmhaff/139/13911.htm

I didn’t dig very deep yet, but so far I found that the forces had been trying to train away individual unconscious biases in response to the Macpherson report, and watered down the process in favor of other priorities. (See paragraphs 505 and 506).

This looks like it came straight off a propaganda poster.

…a sweatshop.

A resin printer might be able to pull off the level of detail. Not sure about the support structure though.

Are there at least two front facing cameras for depth perception?

My guess is that some genres are going to be more problematic due to more extensive use of anti cheat. What are some of the games you’re having trouble with?

Well… if you want most of the main story but without the gameplay, someone had made a movie out of the cutscenes awhile back.

I ended up quitting on the final boss. Partly because I was gut punched by an unexpected plot point just prior. But also because it was the third big fight since the last save point and I got lost on the mechanics. I caught the ending through the movie I found.

Also, the other good Ion Storm game, Anachronox.

I haven’t played it in 20 years and still remember some great moments.

8pm thru 12am is prime time for streaming. Netflix would need to pivot or go out of business.

Since most phones networks now operate over IP, overnight customer service would break. The US can no longer use call centers in India for daytime call centers.

Batch jobs requiring Internet access can no longer run overnight. Instead they would need to run during the day, tying up bandwidth and CPU for other users. System engineers would need to take this into consideration.

It would be more difficult to coordinate with friends when going out at night. You could no longer order an Uber at 2am if you’re drunk off your ass. DWI events would increase.

Once you get past their boring singles, Nickelback isn’t all that bad.
