- Comment on Is this sufficiently advanced technology? 1 day ago:
Because I am one of the experts. I’m not going to share exactly who I am, but I’ve been in IT for 30+ years. I’ve worked on everything from development, to infrastructure to hardware design for the Open Compute project and at major cloud companies as an architect. So no, it’s all magic elves if you understand what’s going on and I will never equate it with that.

I don’t want to be pedantic, as I understand what you’re saying, but they way I interpret that is it’s still deterministic, we just don’t know all of the factors that are currently contributing to the outcome. It’s not magical, it’s just lack of full understanding of all variables.
I get how it can be thought of as non-deterministic, but I think the reason why that bothers me is I’ve seen it used as slippery slope territory into “see, so god must exist!”. I think I was just triggered more by the eventuality and not your specific statement.

Nah man. I’ve been a programmer and it’s very much doing exactly what you told it to. The issue is you (general you) did not do a good job of telling it what to do. It’s like speaking to a five year old realizing the instructions you give it are going to be literally executed, loopholes and all.

Normally I laugh at these as they have some merit, but fuck this one. The right end of the curve isn’t some Jedi understanding of things, it’s tech bros that think AI is alive and they want to enslave us.

You know, I’m very much for equality, but in this situation a woman can do exactly that and get loads of dates.
It’s the initial connection that is the highest barrier for men, after that, yeah, kinda need to leave the house to get a partner.

Feeld is there too. Their matching and like system is very much weighted towards paying not-cheap monthly prices.

Don’t forget one of the final steps. Get things down to one voting day/location and then send in ICE to disrupt things.

Did any of the information it’s requesting have to be valid? I doubt they were cross referencing it against anything. So go be John Doe, a 69 year old Female with a birthday of 1/1/1970.

Told my wife I was parrie dogging one time and the transition from a look of confusion to disgust was glorious.

When you translate it out it bits it’s the number of bits that are active in the net mask
0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 is a /0
0000 0000 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 is a /24
0000 0011 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 is a /26
And since it’s used for marching, it follows how many there are.

I can’t tell you the number of devs I’ve met that know jack shit about infrastructure and networking. Even simple questions like understanding their subnet or how a load balancer works.
- Comment on Non-stick pans? 2 weeks ago:
I like enameled cast iron pans. Le Cruset has a set and i love it. No seasoning or maintenance, washes right off with soap and water. 6+ years later and still looks like it’s new.
- Comment on They have already decided to promote an existing employee. But play the "search" game and screw you 2 weeks ago:
I literally saw a job on LinkedIn that started with “Must have 30+ years experience…”, then gave a highly specific laundry list of requirements and was only open for 3 days. It was obvious that was a mandated post for an internal promotion they were doing.

Frankly I’ve never liked the idea of guilds. Why do I need to be tied to one group? I’d prefer to come and go among different ones as I see fit.

How hard is the bite of a turtle? I know it varies between type, but let’s take a more common one like a Red Eared Slider.

- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Probably do something stupid like individual bit fields for every possibility instead of a bit string. Or having it i a json wrapper for every single variable and combination, without any compression.
Thoguh save states in general grow more complicated as games become more complicated too. Think about early games, all you needed to track was… what level you were on, number of lives, and maybe a list of weapons.
Now you need things like the time of day in game, the weather, what interactions with other npcs you’ve had, multiple stats on every character in your party including customized outfits and accessories, etc. and just like the games themselves, they’re probably not using pointers but actual data too sometimes, which sucks.

Incidentally that’s a German car that’s sold worldwide with that feature. Japanese, American, Chinese, British and other cars have that feature too.
- Comment on May not buff out 3 weeks ago:
That _was_na BMW M440i (i recognize the wheels, color and slope of the back). It has a 386hp/398lb-ft turbocharged inline 6 with a mild hybrid system. BMW says it can do 0-60 in 4.3s, but independent tests have shown it can do 3.9-4.1s
Most likely this idiot used launch control in the parking structure wanting to show off and lost control, eating the pillar
- Comment on Brexit isn’t working: British voters are ready for a European future – European Council on Foreign Relations 4 weeks ago:
I have a feeling there’s going to be two non-starters which the EU will make non-negotiable: conversion to the Euro and freedom of movement (a.la. Schengen Zone).
I would hope if the UK wants it bad enough, they’ll understand the need to integrate, but I have a feeling there’s a large group of rejoiners who are thinking “it’ll go back to the way it was, sweetheart deals and all!”

Pads usually mean they don’t have a service elevator and are moving stuff between floors or are doing construction.

- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
I’d love to know the “why” behind this. It almost looks like floors 28-40 were added afterwards, but you don’t just “add” floors to an elevator like you could stairs.
The other thing would be maybe that there are multiple shafts in the bank but only this specific elevator visits 28-40 and they had to add it in after the fact?

Most cones like that taste more like paper than anything, so it probably wouldn’t taste bad at all.

I live near a sanctioned place like you want and people still bitch about them. “But my little woofie!”, lady the city has used this spot for 40+ years, you moved in 3 months ago. Not their fault.
