I think you’re myopically focusing on my humorous hyperbole and missing my point. Purely scientifically speaking you might well be able to subsist on SCoP, casein powder in water, a dry pack of chow mein noodles and a daily multi-vitamin pill and be perfectly fine. Hell, you can probably scientifically design some sort of nutritionally perfect human kibble that the peons can wash down with Real Water ™, but is that desirable?

Now if you will excuse me, I have a sourdough bread to shove in the oven.

Given that I’m currently enjoying CP2077 on a 1080/i5, quite good.

Well, yeah, but what can one reasonably expect from a bunch of idiots but to miss the point? It’s what they do best.

The President of the United States interfering in the internal affairs of private corporations, while the part of the electorate who gave him the job clutches their pearls about encroaching ‘socialism’. Not even the most perverse satirical mind could make this shit up. The global supply of hallucinogens is grossly insufficient.

And they are of course at liberty to do so, just as people who didn’t forget their lessons are equally free to call them out for it. If I insist on using the spelling ‘leburthy’, I don’t get to complain if somebody else makes me feel like an uneducated fool in short order.

Which - given that this is the Internet - will undoubtedly happen very swiftly indeed.

I agree with you in general and recognize the validity of your point, but in this particular case we all know they mean a combination of ‘meat, brain and bone slurry’, ‘HFCS-infused everything’ and ‘chlorine bleached <8% protein wheat flour’.

I don’t think my teachers would have been impressed with me in school if I claimed to be using the ‘unofficial spelling of words’ or citing ‘unofficial facts’. You either have one standard… Or none at all.

Normally, I would have advocated for the nationalization of Starlink and SpaceX as a matter of national and global security, but it’s not like the current American regime would do any better. I’m not going to be counting on them to investigate, let alone prosecute the affairs of this Russian junkie-stooge either.

0.9438Hz, i.e. 1*(2^(-100/1200)) IIRC.

Ah, common issue. When that happens, you just start using your toes.

Pah, mathematicians and their generally applicable pure approach to solutions and fancy modulus operations, who needs 'em? Computing is applied and we always work with well-defined finite precision. Granted, writing the boilerplate for all possible 64 bit integers is a bit laborious, but we’re programmers! That’s what code generation is for.

When I read the headline, it immediately made me wonder where ‘abroad’ Orban is admired. It certainly isn’t in my neck of the woods.

Meanwhile he has drawn admirers around the world, including US Vice President JD Vance and Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze. US President Donald Trump has called Orban “smart” and “a tough person”.

Ah. Yes.

Alternatively, you could use a browser instead of an advertisement delivery app.

It really doesn’t. I highly doubt there isn’t office politics going on inside Microsoft, Apple and Google, but unlike them, Linux development is all public. If anything, that’s likely to curtail a lot of bad behavior rather than encourage it.

Those are some interesting and creative suggestions. Now, I’m no weapons engineer, but I believe there’s a term for aerosolized gasoline when deployed to put out a fire, and that term is “thermobaric bomb”.

Never mind that though, it’ll totally work: Not only is a building that no longer exists not a building on fire, but it’s guaranteed to never catch fire again. Problem permanently solved. If you’re in the market for a job, I’ve been told that Hellfire (“We may not put you out, but we’ll definitely put you down”) Inc. is hiring.

“Gilette - Follow The Road, Don’t Cross It™”

It’s like reading an article about a petrol refining company, who, having prior experience with gasoline as a useful and profitable substance, decides to seek venture capital for the development of a petrol-based fire-extinguisher. They obtain the funding - presumably because some people with money just wants to see the world burn and / or because being rich and having brains is not necessarily strongly correlated - but after having developed the product, tests conclusively prove the project’s early detractors right: The result is surprisingly always more fire, not less. And they “don’t know how to fix it, while still adhering to the vision of a petrol-based fire-extinguisher”.
