Placebo can work even if you’re aware it’s a placebo.

Now that’s real GDP.

Honestly I’m more concerned with domestic law.

On the other hand, you know the Fortran works and you can break it.

The vibe code is already broken.

I’m still pounding the Fortran button as hard as I can.

Difficult and stupid aren’t the same thing. There aren’t many goals on the same scale of human progress.

The attempt would likely teach us lessons about our own atmosphere and maintaining it. Learning the failure conditions of a biosphere and how to avert disaster seems extremely relevant for the upcoming decades.

The big US national parks had a reservation system for a bit. It was great.

If I get a ticket, I’ll go and it’ll be a pleasant experience. If I don’t, well, I can take a tour bus in or I can just not go.

I appreciated that systemic fix, even if it sucks when you don’t get a ticket and get to drive in exactly how you want. (You can still enter on foot or public transit.)

I had the choice when buying a new PC to go with single threaded 64-bit or multiple cores. Particularly for gaming, I figured a single core was all I really needed, and 64-bit was the future.

The correct choice at the time was multiple cores. Everything going to 64-bit wasn’t going to happen until that computer was long dead.

They could, actually. I was there, in the olden times.

Not efficiently, of course. And these days it’d be a disaster. But it was possible.

Or just a little fun.

The scumbag behavior is from the employer. He’s only fighting fire with fire.

It’s a switch. It’s clearly marked. It literally says “sponsored”.

PopOS with Cosmic did handle my odd 4 monitor configuration better than Ubuntu did.

As long as javascript is running they can track your mouse movement, which is similar to people’s gait when they walk.

Gonna need a source or a reference for that second part. Yes, I’m very aware that your mouse movement can be tracked, so we can skip that part.

It’s not a mistake until you admit it.

Apparently you haven’t been to Reddit in awhile.

Except the title (if you don’t read the subtitle).

Diablo 2 really was a great game.

This is just an advertisement.
