Surely they were in all but name. People say “play it again, Sam” and are “shocked. Shocked!” to this day. It’s easy to imagine the cultural dominance at its heyday.

It’s explicitly listed as a security fix in the release notes, accompanied by a CVE: https://blog.gitea.com/release-of-1.25.5/

What shared style? Each button has its own extremely verbose style attribute specifying, among many other things, custom transition curves.

Isn’t jewish iconoclasm also related to god having made humans “in his image”? As the article notes, in Egypt icons/images were used as the gods’ representation on earth, and by extension that of the kings. They literally projected the

Isn’t this also the case in Neuromancer? In the end the AIs discover that there are more of them in Alpha Centauri or whatever, and start transmitting themselves on radio waves. Or something like that, it’s been a while.

How much of professional chess is metagaming the opponent vs. finding the best move from current game state?

Sad, but the reality is, Hoyerswerda is a small town in east east Germany and computer museums are already super niche in general. How many tourists could they possibly get? Maybe the Nixdorf museum in Paderborn can snatch it up. Paderborn

You have to make a lot of sacrifices for lossless editing, so it’ll probably always be a specialized app or at least a separate tool within an all-purpose NLE. For instance, you’re limited to compatible input streams and you can only cut on

I mean there could be a guard clause? But yeah, seems like this could be statically evaluated like how some IDEs see a null check and don’t complain about nullability within the same scope.

Pretty cool! I’ve been using <details> for this. One example would be a collapsible tree hierarchy of our organization that you can CTRL+F and still find collapsed teams and people. Or an accordion, or anything collapsible, really.

What? Chartreuse is delicious. But more importantly, the crazy ABVs are in overproof rum. Some are over 75%. Not advisable to drink neat. And much more disgusting.

Just “having hard tack in stock” isn’t the objective to solve for, though. I’m actually skeptical this shortage affects people too badly, since the stuff lasts forever. Probably enthusiasts have enough in their pantries to last them through

There’s plenty of stuff you couldn’t get rid of if you gave it away for free. You seem to be ignoring demand.

by wvbdmp 1mo ago
Probably not, right? Demand is already there. The factory is already incentivized, it’s just damaged and needed time to get back to full capacity. A contender isn’t just going to spring up because prices are temporarily high. Even if you al

I mean it’s not a particularly techno-optimistic idea, it’s pretty common. Likewise, the French Revolution is widely celebrated inside and outside France, but at the time in the place it was bad bad.

Maybe all “content” will just end up devalued and some prestige will move to more physical, local things like live performances, growing your own tomatoes and giving good massages. Nobody will care about showing off their tomatoes online an

AFAIK, a lot of commercials, particularly for cars, haven’t really shot the physical product in decades and instead used CGI. I think Ikea also makes heavy use of renderings. It’s all kind of insane. OTOH, a hundred years ago ads all used i

That’s very cool, but I’d be worried most regular people wouldn’t recognize it as a QR code and never scan it in the first place.

Lapis Lazuli is cognate, both come from the same Arabic/Persian root. Apparently “azure”, “azul”, “azzurro” lost the L because it got confused with the common “l’” article,

I’m amazed at how cheap this is. How is this possible for what I’m assuming is a relatively low-volume physical product? I don’t suppose it’s produced on-demand, but also Carson Gross probably doesn’t have 1000 of these boxes at his home, o

I mean of the proposed designs. Actually, why not have Hitler. I wouldn’t mind a “never again” series with infamous faces from every country. Could be fun, lol.

by wvbdmp 2mo ago
So shuffle them around. We already have a million coin designs. One side can remain constant, no problem.

by wvbdmp 2mo ago
I sort of disagree, the faces SHOULD foster a unified identification as European. And at least on paper they do kind of nicely, imho. No one can argue with Da Vinci. Curie is Polish-French. Callas is internationally beloved and Greek. Beeth

Old-ish Source has a pretty generous license, no? https://github.com/ValveSoftware/source-sdk-2013/blob/master... GoldSrc is there somewhere as well. I’m definitely grateful for it. I’ve read some of it mysel

Before the American meaning became ubiquitous, corn used to mean (and still does sometimes) just any grain. In fact it also survives in other languages like German, where “Korn” is a singular kernel, or an uncountable amount of grain, as we

We have all those things in Germany, including the converse stereotype that Brits like to queue and act proper and polite. Guess we both need to redirect our fantasies of civility to Japan or something.

Don’t know about tiny subset. Every enterprise workstation in the world would probably be running it. Also the OP specifically fantasizes about unchanged compatibility. Really there would be no reason not to use this, so it would likely hav

Apparently this was an exercise book he made for a parisian tutee, who later fled the french revolution, leading to the confiscation of the notebook by the revolutionaries.

Idk, it is a media player. I’m not mad about it keeping a ton of cover images and audio stubs in memory for immediate playback. Plus probably metadata of the entire library, with various indices. Makes sense to me. We might expect newer p
