Fair, I’m mostly just curious what high level languages were around at the time given how early this was in the history of programming. A quick search did not turn up helpful results.

Same.
There’s easily 4 gallons of fluid in the torso and maybe another gallon in each of the arms (eyeballing from years of camelbak ownership). Being lazy and not looking up the weight of beer, water weighs 8.8 lb per gallon. So at least 50 pounds of fluid. He’s working off his beer belly just walking around with that. We’re looking at the next exercise revolution.

Where did he say that about compilers and high level languages? He died before Fortran was released and probably programmed on punch cards or tape.

Oh I didn’t even know they were remaking CE again. Yeah that doesn’t bode well.

What did they change in the CE remake? I don’t remember anything other than graphical changes.

And likely illegal, but that will also make things very interesting for you for a bit

Supposedly they are more likely to give you captchas if there is high traffic, like every week when people try to claim their prime free games at the same time. If I get a captcha I just close out and try again later because you never know how many you are going to get.

They have released them in several places, even in the US surprisingly.

Sounds like it only recently got regulatory approval, and then there has to be some testing at each location before release.
- Comment on It appenes that my email has gotten on the hands of some scammers with a botnet or something. What do I do? 1 year ago:
Did you get a huge flood of emails at the start? That happened to me one time and it was because one of my old passwords got leaked. Buried within the flood of emails was a legit “your password has been changed” email for an account.
- Comment on Why is waking up when my alarm goes off so difficult and unpleasant yet "sleeping in" does feel good and isn't satisfying? 1 year ago:
+1 for sleeping without an alarm. If you really need an alarm to get up every day, you might not be getting enough sleep to begin with. Some of that is unavoidable (noises, light waking you up at night etc.) but a lot of people think they can get by with like 6 hours or less of sleep and just get by on extra coffee.
Taking a week or so to just let your body wake up when it wants (even if it means going to bed early, ugh) will help you figure out how much sleep you need.

I remember hearing somewhere (probably some podcast) that it used to be normal for people to sleep for 3-4 hours, then wake up and do stuff for an hour or so, then go back to sleep for 3-4 hours again. Maybe to help keep watch while you sleep or something similar?
It’s about 50/50 for me. Sometimes getting up and reading for an hour or so will let me fall back to sleep instantly, other times I’m just wide awake at 2AM and then magically get sleepy at 6:30 right before work.

Same here. At some point I’ll have to try it out with a game that I don’t mind losing progress on. It sounded like you have to manually specify one or more save directories to get sync to work which sounds pretty flimsy to me.

Gog has cloud saves too if you use gog galaxy.

Definitely just download heroic. Lutris can be weird - for the epic store on Linux it literally just runs the epic store exe in wine and installs/launches games through it instead of directly in the lutris client.
But it is Linux and so naturally one or the other store will not always work right so it helps to have both.

Do you use cloud sync with heroic? It sounded somewhat beta/experimental so I use heroic for other storefronts but still use the gog galaxy since it’s sync works great and is built in.
- Comment on What fresh fuckery is this? 1 year ago:
Have you updated recently? A few weeks ago there were some changes to YouTube that basically shut down newpipe and other similar clients, but an update should have fixed that.
