Probably Haskell.

deadbeef79000,

Psychomath

deadbeef79000,

It’s three cubits in diameter and no ne cubits around.

Therefore π is three.

Fackz.

deadbeef79000,

Also Yao in New Kaineng, self describes as “agendered”.

There’s a line of dialog something like “… and he had a husband!” in part of the story.

Nice to see diversity represented, sometimes feels a little clumsy but I’ll put that down to writers that are learning how to do it.

deadbeef79000,

Which is actually how it works in the real world too!

Except it’s called medicine instead of magic. Trolololol.

Doctors have specialisations, some are very very specialised: e.g. specific types of neurosurgeon.

Also, accidents happen. Sometimes the doctor/magic-user gets it catastrophically wrong.

deadbeef79000,

Good thing the NPC wasn’t trans or something… who knows how they would have reacted.

deadbeef79000,

Yo dawg, I heard you like HTTP and XML, so I put XML in your HTTP in your XML over HTTP.

deadbeef79000,

Blood Music by Greg Bear.

deadbeef79000,

Yeah, 'cause that’s what’s wrong with Reddit. Its logo.

Oh, sorry, also its font.

deadbeef79000,

Ah, the Christian argument.

Me, personally? My morals are not defined by my own ability to weild power. Except maybe where the power to make someone else’s life better is morally right.

The average person is a fuckingidiot and would expertly execute the “time travel” equivalent of taking a shit with their pants on.

deadbeef79000,

With great difficulty, and by essentially giving up.

Podman/docker makes no difference in my case, just more noise when trying to find help.

deadbeef79000,

70% of what?

If that’s subscription revenue in Uruguay then the business model is just not feasible, unless they up the subscription fees to adequately cover costs.

This is the risk when the revenue model doesn’t scale with th cost model.

deadbeef79000,

SELinux enters the chat

Sure you own it, your groups owns it, its permissions are 777, SELinux says GEEEEEEET FUUUUUUCKED.

deadbeef79000,

I’m doing my part!

deadbeef79000,

You’ll just have to compromise.

deadbeef79000,

Possibly not even outside their county.

deadbeef79000,

… and it’s a self-reinforcing process too.

deadbeef79000, (edited )

The Butlerian Jihad by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson.

Or, appalling fan-fiction set in Frank Herbert’s Dune novels.

deadbeef79000,

Hey, don’t lump the rest of us in with the USA.

deadbeef79000,

I loved the first book. I read it after seeing the film, which I also loved.

Both seemed like a dream of the other.

The sequels I enjoyed, but you have to enjoy the journey: there is no conclusion. Though that is a form of story telling that I quite like.

deadbeef79000,

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

Clarke or Azimov, can’t remember which titan of SF said it.

deadbeef79000,

The vampire hunter?

Neat!

deadbeef79000,

This is the way.

deadbeef79000,

Teenagers raised by monsters are monsters.

deadbeef79000,

Same situation, same calculus.

All up we were $100/month “better” off with my wife working.

We agreed that “paying” $25/week was worth it to have mum at home raising our litter.

It was very nice to come home to a relaxed home rather than a stressed gang of animals.

deadbeef79000,

Actually agree.

IMHO we are entirely the product of our environment and upbringing: initially a blank slate. Deficiency or poison in either produces problems.

Sometime those deficiencies and poisons are parents.

deadbeef79000,

I fundamentally disagree that someone can be born evil.

Someone can be born a psychopath, but they can still be raised to logically understand the norms of society and mimic them.

There are, however, a couple of generations born with lead poisoning from leaded petrol: that will stop a brain functioning properly.

deadbeef79000,

I was stoked when season three started.

If was all so familiar, yet not quite the same.

Then half way through I realised I’d already watched it.

Superb.

deadbeef79000,

Battlestar Galactica.

You know, I know about farming.

deadbeef79000,

Aaaaw, but I wanted to go to Toshi’s station to pick up some power converters

You can pay with your friend when your chores are done.

Repeat every day for 20 years.

deadbeef79000,

Death sticks*

deadbeef79000,

It was the first televised interracial kiss.

At least in the USA if not the world.

deadbeef79000,

That’s not failure that’s life.

Everything needs time to mature.

deadbeef79000,

I seems to be in a minority that liked it.

Is everyone just ignoring the forehead thing that Klingons don’t tak about?

deadbeef79000,

TOS was just the Enterprise show setin the star trek universe.

deadbeef79000,

Watch it, enjoy it, ignore the fans.

No one hates ST more than Trekkies.

deadbeef79000,

Freddy Mercury.

Or David Bowie

deadbeef79000,

It was the day my grandmother exploded.

deadbeef79000,

Why add back problems caused by the physical limitations of optical cameras FFS?

Lens flare? We’ll just digitally add it back in.

Chromatic aberration? Add it to make it look like you’re looking though a cheap lens.

Vignette, check.

Urgh. I’m supposed to be there literally in the game, experiencing things through my own eyes.

My eyes are not cameras. Well they are but not like that.

deadbeef79000,

Oh, I get that aspect. It’s just an objectively better experience without the artifacts of the technical limitls of a physical camera and lens.

It’s as if it’s driven by an idiot that thinks if it looks like there are lens flares, abberation, vignette, etc. that it was look cinematographic, completely ignoring the actual art of composition, framing, lighting, depth of field, etc… the actual arts of cinematography.

Though, given that I’m the one controlling the vital camera with my mouse or controller, apparently it should suck as much as a real camera.

deadbeef79000,

I’m still using my eyes!

deadbeef79000,

I used objectively literally.

Avoiding flares, aberration etc makes an image objectively better. You might subjectively prefer either the objectively better or objectively worse image.

deadbeef79000,

You’re still using your eyeballs!

deadbeef79000,

I’m sorry you’re being a pedantic ass too.

deadbeef79000,

I read FMLA as Fuck My Life America.

(Not American)

deadbeef79000,

I think it’s even broader than that.

If customers want green socks, sell green socks.

It would be have been better said as demand is always right (not supply).

deadbeef79000,

Don’t set the static IP within the DHCP range (well you can, but it then depends on how smart your dhcp server is, just avoid the situation).

You run a risk of the same IP being assigned to another device.

deadbeef79000,

Well yeah, is fiction.

The point is when was it made up?
