Personally, I think it’s because he wants to erase the contribution of his ex-wife Marcia Lucas. He’s just that petty.

Yes. On a number of occasions.

The math is true and that’s a real photo? I think it’s an anti-joke

I think he would have said this is a perfectly valid example of what he meant

Originally Windows was written in assembly and ran on top of DOS, but since Windows 2000 and XP, it’s been exclusively running on the NT kernel, which is written primarily in C, with some C++ in there as well.

The actual userspace is mostly C++ and C#.

I hang it under so that my cats can’t unravel it easily

EDIT: I will never know why this received a downvote.

Are practical adjustments in order to keep your cat from shredding/eating toilet paper so wrong?

Metagaming Bob is implied to be a player who metagames, so they intentionally use game knowledge to improve their odds of winning. If for instance they were to fail an insight check, they would choose to break character and act suspicious of the person who they failed insight on, even if their character should have no reason to suspect them.

You might be better off getting an Android tablet and installing Linux on top of Android.

Care to elaborate, for those not as experienced as soldering? This isn’t the most relatable post without some additional context.

For instance, my only experience soldering is with audio equipment (think wires and potentiometers), never with PCBs and I have no clue what you mean.

It’s generally much better to use HeroicGamesLauncher IMO

UltimateGuitar.com

It used to be entirely free and the vast majority of its tablature was uploaded by community members for free.

The app used to be a one-time purchase. Thankfully I did purchase it back then and they grandfathered me in with a lifetime pro membership, but I can’t blame the people who would never want to use the site/app when they’ve effectively paywalled a ton of community content.

Boo, games as a service blow. BG 3 already has co-op

Paladins can make holy water by blessing it. They inadvertently made the vampire’s snot into holy water, blowing the party’s cover.

While it’s a good solution, it is entirely untrue. A message is either End to End Encrypted or it is not. If the message is decrypted at any point between the sender and the intended recipient, it is definitively not End to End Encrypted.

The new API has the exact same free limit. They’re just dropping support for the old API soon and people who want to depend on the old version will need to pay for its continued support because they want to push everyone onto the new site/API

Got mine in August. Whatever, I’m happy with it. Fantastic controls

There’s nothing wrong with favoring the people with the least generational wealth first and foremost

Or, instead of twisting 5e into a different TTRPG, just play a different one better suited to your goals for the game

… aren’t deals more of a devil thing? I thought demons were chaotic-evil and didn’t necessarily care about honoring the letter of their deals

I think this approach is doomed. People only care about Mozilla because of Firefox and Firefox is falling behind again, no doubt coinciding with the mass layoffs and the ejection of the Servo engine. They’ve caught up with Chrome on most fronts a year or three ago when their reinvented CSS and layout engine was released, but they’re still on the back foot these days.

This is incorrect. Firefox recently surpassed Chrome in a key benchmark and has generally been on a roll lately.

Yes, their current iterative improvements are not as sexy as the big release of Quantum, but to say they’re currently falling behind is the opposite of the truth. They’ve just pulled ahead.

About goddamned time

Do you think that being laid off is a good thing?

The employees are suffering the negative consequences of the leadership’s piss-poor decisionmaking, that was their point. Leadership hasn’t seen any turnover or resignations, to my knowledge.

Is it so wrong in your mind to expect a little personal responsibility? Or do you find it just that leadership can fuck up consequence-free and shitcan others for their failures?

If that’s how you’d run your company, I’d run the other way as both a worker and a consumer.

We’re not locked in for the next 20 years. Not for the next 10.

The carbon in the atmosphere is going to be there for the next millenium and the temperature won’t level out till the 2100s if we stopped all carbon emission right this second.

Furthermore, if we did stop all emissions right now, the planet would get 0.5-1.5 °C hotter within a year or two due to the end of the aerosol pollution cooling effect that’s been cutting the effects of carbon induced climate change in half this whole time.

This year is so hot because they put limitations on sulfur emissions from shipping boats in the Pacific. Those emissions were cooling the atmosphere, but the aerosol emissions (which that sulfur is one of) only last in the atmosphere for about 2 weeks before they’re rained out of the air.

We’re fucked.

So what, does that make him the king they're revolting against?

Good luck with that! I'm excited to see the fireworks as their brand-new mod teams use their brand-new mod tools right as they go public. Should be quite a show.
