- Comment on How has Apple tricked so many people into believing that they "just need to get another Apple product"? 1 week ago:
Their hardware has been better relative to the competition than ever in the ARM era. The M5 is a monster. I just wish I could afford one with plenty of RAM and could run Linux on it.
- Comment on Why are there so many more mtf trans vs ftm trans people?? 1 week ago:
Trans people who don’t pass often get perceived as gender non-conforming. Trans people who do pass are perceived as cis (that’s kind of the point of passing).
- Comment on I mean does anybody really know how to play Chess? 2 weeks ago:
Cats in bow ties also look great.
- Comment on Welcome to New York City 2 weeks ago:
The fine should go up exponentially with the number of violations (as well as income). First ticket? You screwed up. Tenth? You clearly don’t care. Hundredth? You’re doing it on purpose.
- Comment on Why doesn't Israel or the US try to fracture the relationship between Hezbollah and Iran? Instead of straight forward attack. Or make Iran see they are not worth the headache? 2 weeks ago:
I’d say symbiotes. The US doesn’t strictly need Israel, but it benefits from having a glorified military base in that area. Israel strictly depends on the US, but they’re playing a dangerous game with constant escalations, to the point where the US may decide that they’re no longer worth the effort.

No, your dog has Williams Syndrome.

There are more Christian Zionists in the United States alone than there are total Jews on the planet.
Most Jewish people are Zionist to some degree (though the number has been plummeting since Israel’s last major escalation in its genocide), but most Zionists are not Jewish.
- Comment on Well damn. Glad he's dead. 4 weeks ago:
Why is Mickey surprised? Walt Disney was incredibly racist.
- Comment on What exactly is a third party launcher? 4 weeks ago:
I would disagree. I think Steam’s definition is reasonable. The launcher you are intentionally using (i.e. you bought the game there and initially launched it from there) is the first party. Any other launchers are third party.
Now, if you’re looking at the game’s product page on the publisher’s website, that changes things. In that case, I’d say they’re justified in saying something like “available on these third-party launchers: Steam, GOG.”

Andrew Tate is a convicted sex trafficker (of women). I’m pretty sure he’s seen a naked woman.
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
And both the fun and the realism suffer because of it. 2077 is a great game, but it could be even better if they cut the car stuff from inside Night City. Leave the Aldecaldos and Claire’s quest, maybe have Delamain specifically for moving around the exurbs, but make everything else more dense.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
Most people attempting to be influencers aren’t remotely successful, even if they’re hot.
- Comment on Anon is incompatible 5 weeks ago:
iPhones only have USB-C because they were forced to, but MacBooks were some of the very early adopters of the connector, and iPads also picked it up well before the requirement.
- Comment on Anon is a gamer 1 month ago:
I’d call that a failure of capitalism, not of patents specifically. Any system stops working if you change the rules enough.
- Comment on Anon is a gamer 1 month ago:
The solution to this is supposed to be the time limit: if your invention builds on a very recent invention, you may have to get permission from that inventor, but older inventions become common property and can be freely built upon.
- Comment on Anon is a gamer 1 month ago:
Patents are supposed to be pretty specific and open to alternative implementations that don’t infringe, but the USPTO has made some pretty awful decisions, especially around early home computers.
- Comment on Anon is a gamer 1 month ago:
The original idea behind them had some merit: in exchange for showing everyone else exactly how to do a cool new thing, you got to temporarily be the only one to profit from it. They’ve devolved into parenting general ideas (see the shopping cart patent) and fucking over anyone who finds a way to make the idea work though.
- Comment on Anon watches redditors talk about bodycount 1 month ago:
Because infants are larger than penises. Hope this helps!
- Comment on What ever happened to Ipecac? Why is it rarely used today, there was some side effects but not to warrant most hospitals to abruptly stop the use of it. 1 month ago:
If you’re already in a hospital, why wouldn’t they just pump your stomach?
- Comment on The horse knows the way home 1 month ago:
Horses are smarter than cars or bikes, faster than walking, and more available than public transportation in many places.

OP’s was literally called “NXE,” for “New Xbox Experience.”
- Comment on I hate when people call me a "hero," but I get the inclination. 🫡 🇺🇸 1 month ago:
And plenty of selection bias. There’s very rarely a pleasant reason to mention your partner’s occupation to a service worker, so anyone who’s going to be normal slips under the radar.

So your technical interview was a regular interview and not a technical one?

So, the Discworld. Yes, it is very cool.

Unsigned jumps from 0 to 4,294,967,295. An overflow won’t get you to 2,147,483,647 unless you have a 31-bit uint for some reason.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
-2,147,483,649, actually. A signed int32 can represent -1 just fine.
