Freshman year of college doing assembly programming, I spent a while figuring out a “programmic” way to solve a problem, trying to wrangle labels and gotos. My friend came in with essentially this but as lookup table. It blew my mind.
It was then that I learned to trade space for complexity.

Are you saying you want to harm these steam decks?!
Huh. I’ll have to rewatch them someday.
Also I always thought it really random that the prequels started with a blockade and trade dispute with the Trade Federation, but now that I’m an old man I see that it’s likely yet another ripoff of Dune.
It’s exactly like the Spacing Guild! They are the merchant transportation industry in that universe and they can and do isolate the Atreides on the planet to secretly facilitate an invasion.
Maybe they were like husked coconuts and could be cut into the ideal length for a 8cm diameter.
Huh… It never occurred to me (because I was a dumb kid) that Leia has to be a princess of a domain.
I guess she was supposed to be the daughter of one of the Galactic Empire’s vassals like the Atriedes to the Padishah Emperor and the Corrinos in Dune. Then she would be helping a rebellion to overthrow her lord’s rule over her and her fellow vassals, hence the alliance in Rebel Alliance, which is also like the Landsrad in Dune.
Dune did leave a big influence on sci-fi. Even the Force is like the whole prescience (eg. Deflecting lasers using foresight) and shared ancestral memory thing (eg. Connections to everyone and communing with the dead, which always seemed so random to me at the end of New Hope). Luke and Leia definitely embodies a lot of qualities of Paul.
Also, she’s racist against Wookies? Lol when was that shown? 😆.
They work because north poles find south poles hot eh eff.

I’m not trying to disagreeing with you. But that’s the thing, being “good” at a game isn’t among the most important qualifications for insightful analysis which is why gamers tend to make poor takes.
The important qualifications are experience with analysis and formal knowledge in the arts, humanities, and some of the sciences. The YouTuber Noah Caldwell-Gervais is a good example. The guy sucks ass at twitch mechanics (ie. playing games) but he’s extremely well-read and has extensive knowledge on many domains so he makes insightful analysis.
Miyazaki doesn’t even play his own games and probably sucks just as much ass at twitch mechanics but he’s able to consistently direct amazing games because of his extensive knowledge and experience apart from playing well.
Games, like movies, are easily consumed but difficult to create. As a result, everyone and their grandma can critique them and publish on the Internet which only further self-selects for the highly opinionated to do so.
But not all opinions are equal. You can be well studied in your field and generally intelligent, but if you don’t have a relevant background in the humanities and the sciences, you can have complex reasoning but without having the depth, the breadth, and the relevance in the analysis.
Case in point the first replier. The analogy is fine and the deductive reasoning is self-consistent, but they didn’t show the relevance to game design. (Ie. Why must the author make the text size bigger for people who can’t enjoy smaller text, and why must the same apply to games.)
That’s why gamers seem to be notorious for having takes that miss the trees for the forest.
(I am aware that I’m very much at risk of committing this very error with my post.)
It could also be poor graceful failure. What we see as a crash may be from some unavailability deep in a long pipeline of services.
This might be completely off topic but when I was quite young I thought girldicks were a thing because I witnessed a particularly explicit anime or manga. I had something down there and why wouldn’t they?
What was more horrible was that it was my mother who corrected me after she laughed at something I had said (I don’t remember what I said and it’s not like I understood it enough to be embarrassed either.)
And I’m talking about the wide spectrum of computing related topics beyond operating systems - from lithography to abstract research topics to data center architecture, all of whom are experts in their field.
Seriously. I feel like the people I know who know the most about computing have the least preferences for a distro, if they even use Linux at all.
Congrats. I love the green color. This is exactly the route I plan to do. I’m almost thinking about just uninstalling Win10 and switching to Mint right now.
I refused to play any games that relies on kernel level binaries like FortNight and League.
Okay I just read Debian’s manual about UEFI so I’m basically now an expert. And I feel like even if Microsoft refuses to sign, there should still be a demand for mobos that can either add new keys or disable SecureBoot.
MAGAs unironically call Trump the God-Emporer, as in the God-Emporer of the Imperium of Mankind, but they ironically got instead the God-Emporer Leto II and sentenced us to the Golden Path - tyrannical aceticism, but also conditioning for a society.
Do we make it through a more resilient society, or do we get stuck in abject inequity for the foreseeable future.
I remember learning about it a long time ago and thought it made no sense.
Then I went with a married couple who brought two kids and I still believe it even more. These college friends don’t drink, vape, weed, gamble and are basically non-religuous relugious people so it was a weird experience. We stayed in a casino hotel that allowed all of it, and we ended up only going to museums and dining… In the middle of a desert.
It’ll never be a definitive family destination.
I suppose that’s a good enough hand wave explanation.
I thought though, just purely for curiosities sake, that neurotransmitters are released by a voltage potential difference over some sort of gate caused by a flood of sodium ions (a chemical signal), and it’s not just a matter of conducting current. That means the cyberware has to somehow attach inside the axon and on the outside, across the gate to create that voltage difference. And that’s for one gate.
I feel like the more one thinks about this the more the name should be changed to 3077.
Probably not but “zoomer” and “yeet” do!
