RAM is a resource that works best when you have more than you need. I always want there to be some unused RAM because then my system can do anything it needs to without spending time swapping out the least recently used pages before it has any free ones to use.

Shitty programs that take GBs of memory to do things that should only need MBs or KBs of it isn’t “getting my money’s worth out of my computer”.

Some people say they love disco. But I have to ask: what is love?

Have they even given a potential price yet?

No, it’s w, s, j, d.

W for walking, you walk forward.

S for side-stepping.

J for jumping.

And d is for digging because you can’t jump down into the ground.

My “page” is my monitor’s screen, a window into many virtual worlds that extend past the plane of my screen.

Actually, my screen is a curved surface. So the 3d virtual world is projected onto a 2d plane which is then projected back onto a 3d curved screen. The math to make it look correct in the final projection is different from what makes it look correct on a flat screen, though I don’t know if any renderers actually do this correction. Not that I think the difference is huge.

Though I’d add on to that that cleaning glass can be difficult to do right. You need to clean/rinse it properly, otherwise whatever is left over will dry into streaks, which catch light like this.

Alternatively, if you get those rings of iron right at the water line that refuse to wash away, pumice stones work great.

I only do it with 3 or 4 bars of signal. I wouldn’t want my livestream to cut out during such a high intensity moment.

It means it’s time to get serious.

Now you are looking down from above at a pyramid and that same square is a flattened top.

I first heard the jokes as Vin Diesel jokes and always did think he was cooler than Chuck Norris. Like was I the only one completely not surprised that Walker, Texas Ranger turned out to be exactly what I expected him to be like?

Lol is it just me or are his eyes comically small in that video? Makes his wife look like an anime girl in comparison.

As I understand, chess AIs are more like brute force models that take the current board and generate a tree with all possible moves from that position, then iterating on those new positions up to a certain depth (which is what the depth of the engine refers to). And while I think some might use other algorithms to “score” each position and try to keep the search to the interesting branches, that could introduce bias that would make it miss some moves that look bad but actually set up a better position, though ultimately, they do need some way to compare between different ending positions if the depth doesn’t bring them to checkmate in all paths.

So it chooses the most intelligent move it can find, but does it by essentially playing out every possible game, kinda like Dr Strange in Infinity War, except chess has a more finite set of states to search through.

Also Kill Bill Vol. 1 didn’t have him. But Vol. 2 does.

Oooh, I see, you meant text alternative in the post. For some reason, my mind went to a service like imgur but it uses something to fallback to text, assumedly in part to display an alternative to an image to avoid the UK nanny laws instead of needing to back out entirely. So that’s where the whole “that won’t avoid the issue” response came from.

Except that wouldn’t make a difference as far as the children data protection bit is concerned. It goes WAY beyond porn and governs the handling of any data that can be tied back to a child, including IP address, online aliases, and email addresses.

And it’s not even just about selling it, but processing it and storing it at all. There’s technical necessity exemptions, like routers aren’t subject due to handling the IP address for routing, but stuff like logging the submitting IP address with an image to be able to handle abusive submitters would count. While it is a legitimate use, part of the UK law is requiring consent for doing anything with the data of someone under 13, and the current legal situation is “well, most sites probably break the law but you can trust us that we won’t go after you if you give it your best shot”.

I’m surprised more sites aren’t pulling out of the UK with a law that seems designed for selective enforcement to get rid of sites the government deems “bad” while letting the ones it deems “good” or “harmless” serve as examples that they are trying to be reasonable with the law that basically makes websites illegal because 12 year olds can use browsers and might go there without parental consent.

Also handing the ones that do check age even more information, but it’s OK because once you become an adult to do whatever with that information.

Ramen is good on bread. Even better in a wrap. The non-soup kind works best for this.

Lasagna is a casserole.

I used to do “one one-thousand, two one-thousand, etc”

But then found it was better to so l switch it to “one-thousand one, one-thousand two, etc” because then the count matches the time closer. In the first, when you say the count, you are actually one second earlier. Eg, “two” marks the end of the first second and the start of the second one. But saying the number after (one-thousand, steamboat, mississippi, or whatever) means you can just say the number you last said for an accurate second count.

Woah, why am I getting such a clear sense of deja-vu from this comment?
