   This has been bothering me for a few days; I’m 99% sure that my parent is a bot. If you take a look his profile, _all_ of his comments share a remarkably similar structure.

   Why do you presume that the intelligence gap would converge to zero?

   I looked at the Star Machine repository and it looks like its using SDL_gpu [1,2], so I am a little confused about where the 'CPU' rasteriser designation comes from. [1] https://github.com/Aeva/star-machine&#x

   The dental and vision “care” industry is rife with fraudsters to the extent that they are more akin to rackets.

   Thanks for letting us know that you don’t waste your precious time with such frivolities as Wordle.

   Could you please expound on why you believe that to be depressing?

   Wait what? KDE & Gnome are only desktop environments and have no bearing on gpu / kb rgb drivers.

    Thanks for writing this article. I tried to implement this algorithm a few years ago, but had trouble wrapping my head around the quad edge data structure.

    Did you bother to read the post? This does not work in Windows 11. Furthermore, I suspect grandparent is either similarly confused or using registry hacks.

    This should not have been downvoted; parent’s criticism is not unfounded. Take a look at the second section of this Wikipedia page: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_metaphor-based_metah...

    …but Arduino code IS c++ code. I don’t believe a distinction would make much sense.

    I wouldn’t consider the rates here [1] low at all. Parent PLUS loans are sky high at 6.28%. I suppose you are talking about private loans but they have their own set of downsides. [1] https://studentaid.gov/understand-aid&#

    Surely the same can be said about religions. People start believing stories made by <prophet/whomever> and they become facts all of a sudden.

    It was just an email, no? I’d feel a little weird if people that took down entire services were telling me that it’s “ok”.

    It’s a plain bug expected of beta quality software. No need for any drama. https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows11/comments/ogchx7/volume_ba...

    Is it just me or has Reddit been down much more frequently than any other social media?

    Why would a smartphone CPU preclude the use of an RTOS?

    Well, if the person is healthy and young, I can’t imagine why it’d be the latter.

    I’m not sure pandering to their comfort is the right thing to do here. Why are they associating “master branch” with slavery in the first place?

    Well, that piece of code is a perfectly valid way to initialize a variable in C++.

    Indeed. I find this to be a rather strange opinion; in terms of the language itself, I can’t really say one is better than the other for expressing mathematics.

    Indeed. It truly is mind-boggling that certain governments seem like they want to literally obliterate the virus and drive the number of cases all the way to zero. Heck, why don't they enforce a quarantine until the common cold disappe

    To all that are wetting their diapers at the _ridiculous_ thought of robots hunting you down (a rather pompous thought in my opinion — why would anyone expend any resources to kill _you_?): please remain in your bunkers for the sake of soci
