But yeah, the whole GameStop debacle showed that it's a rigged system to have them always win.

While I'm not against the stock market, as it is a very valid way to fund companies, I'm really against all those intermediaries that win millions at essentially no risk because if they flop they will be bailed out.

But, examples of what I said, and you'll need to Google it...

What do you call Irene Villa in her period?

A red pen.

That's the level xd

@retoor

Just for the record, it's Mexicans doing tequila, not Spanish. But we'd burn all the same, like in the meme. "This is fine".

@retoor

Oh, we do, with the French, mostly, yeah, but those aren't really dark, although one could say they will soon become so... 😏

@D-4got10-01

Because you are not "thinking right" (TM)

To top it off, you are deleting while iterating...

Satan knows what you will end up with xd

I know some but they refer to Spanish people or events so probably wouldn't make sense here.

We can all have our redemption arcs. I was a hardcore Nintendo fan back in the day... That is, until they made the bullshit decision to delay super smash bros brawl for 6 months in Europe, just to space its release with their nth bullshit Mario kart.

Next day I chipped my Wii and my DS, pirated SSB brawl and never gave them a single cent ever again.

Nowadays they only have like one or two games worth playing anyway, and emulators allow me to enjoy them to the fullest, and not that console wannabe the switch is.

@lorentz

I know about hardware design but I'm not an expert either.

The circuitry aspect was definitely a thing before. Nowadays it's, as you said, probably feasible but you have two main limitations

- budget: it's much cheaper to reuse tried and tested hardware units than redesign from scratch.

- thermals: in modern processes, we've gotten dangerously close to the thermal limit (which is why Moore's law is no longer applicable), where higher component density will cause then to melt, short-circuit or otherwise malfunction.

There's also a lesser known issue which, while solvable, exponentially increases complexity, which is, in this case, memory limits, as even with your 3 extra bit solution, you'd need another timing control line, like CAS and RAS on current RAM, BAS, from bit, I guess.

@kiki

You don't really have a choice about repo access when they belong to your company.

@lorentz

The reason addressing did not go down to the bit level is because it would have taken a prohibitive amount of circuitry to pull off.

Fucking DS store somehow always ending into all my repos the moment some crapple fanboy touches them... Agreed.

@jestdotty

Alas, nothing.

As was initially established, you can not define any valid metric to what "meditation" is.

Please note, I'm not saying meditation is stupid, or nonsense, nor nothing of sorts.

What I said is, you can not give a factual definition. Without that, you can not establish a null hypothesis, and therefore, no actual scientific proof to nothing.

Science ends here. I don't expect you to understand what it means, given prior interactions.

In order to affirm something as real, you need to have a control group. In your case, it's impossible to establish, so by all means, it's scientifically *not* valid.

By all means, believe what you want, Satan save me, but if you keep flaunting utter ignorance, expect to meet backlash.

@jestdotty

If you can not define what meditation is or what the procedure is, you can not conduct a scientific experiment, because you can not specify a null hypothesis.

That's what has been repeatedly told to you.

@xcodesucks No, I'm telling you that *in C* it's not real. Again, it's just a 0. A register with all bits set to 0, which happens to be a literal int 0 too.

"NULL" in C is a preprocessor macro that expands to 0.

Any form of null, nil, or what have you higher languages might have is just syntax sugar or increased type safety built around, again, having some pointer set to 0.

In heap allocated reference types this means the stack pointer pointing to this memory is, again, 0.

It also happens that most of the times errors cascade. A single missing semicolon can lead to another dozen messages.

It gets real bad whenever templates get involved, but they've made significant progress with that, at least where the STL is concerned.

And, even if risking a fish slap, just use a shared or unique smart pointer, or if used as argument or similar, a owning_ptr<> or non_owning_ptr<> from the GSL. They resolve to regular pointers anyway and help a lot with pointer ownership and management.

Hard rock/heavy metal.

I don't mind the lyrics, but any coworker around me (thanks WFH) will, because I'll likely subconsciously start singing along.

@jestdotty

I can only laugh at you, the prime conspiracy theorist, not only relying on chatgpt (which I don't need, because I'm educated in what I say, which, by the way, your reading comprehension completely failed to comprehend), a tool controlled by those shady elites you demean so much...

But also the fact that it proceeded to debunk your bullshit live in prime time...

So yeah, no more questions, your honor.

@jestdotty

In any case, it seems it hurt *your* sensibilities, judging by the response, most definitely not mine XD

@kiki

I don't really know. Satan knows I try not to, but sometimes the amount of bullshit is so much that I just have to say something, if only to prevent other impressionable minds to fall into the same shitshow.

It suffers from the same problem as every Blockchain backed system to "preserve truth".

Blockchain doesn't guarantee truth. It guarantees consensus. Consensus is easily manipulated when you control the majority of the consensus. (History is written by the victors, and such...)

And on a protocolar level, Blockchain exists because the nodes verifying the transactions get a sizable benefit for it. In your scheme, the only benefit is having more characters...

Well, guess what, your system would be nice for the opposition, or clandestine anti government groups. With your system, along with the nature of consensus, you actually penalize, if not making it downright impossible to safeguard information against ruling parties.

So yeah, the idea has its merits. The implementation is exploitable as fuck.

@jestdotty

Science *definitely* believes in bacteria.

Hence why antiseptics and antibiotics were developed, because it wasn't a curse from God to die from fucking apendicitis.

Vinegar is acidic, yes, by virtue of having acetic acid, which, yes, is the reason it doesn't spoil and helps conserve things, but has no impact on your teeth or anything like that.

Its PH is just too mid. In fact, the very same acid (hydrochloric) in your stomach is on the order of 100 times more powerful, and whenever you puke, your teeth don't deteriorate...

Acids just have affinity for water. Higher the lower the pH, so they "burn" organic matter by"sucking" out the water and leaving the carbon. It's not your usual burning.

Teeth aren't made of water... They are mostly impervious to short exposure to weak acids...

Most humans are happy to be sheep.

They don't wanna shoulder the burden of leading, so they will blindly follow whoever promises security and abundance.

So yeah, they are easy prey for charlatans to get into places of power.

Then there's the opposite about taking things to far into tinfoil hat territory, which is what you tend to do...

And that's equally as bad.

@jestdotty

Or maybe you are one of the very few that had an adverse reaction to the vaccine, as can happen with any vaccine really.

Is that an argument to stop vaccination. Absolutely not.

Health care is there for you so that, even when it happened to you, the state cared for you.

And, let's be real, based on your previous history, you'd be a burden on national healthcare for a whole another set of reasons.

And still, I'd pay for it, because it's the fucking reason healthcare exists.

The conspiracy theories, however, are just a byproduct of idle minds, which tend not to be productive at all... Which would put you in no position to bitch about anything that is freely given to you...

@retoor

Using your own domain is also a very bad idea for anonymity.

Domain names can easily be traced back.

Most places that really care about getting your real mail will block every temp mail domain.

I still encourage anyone to use temp email for most shit, but sometimes it's better to have a burner gmail account you only access through VPN.

@kiki

What do you mean?

America is being made great again!

Of course, neither the C nor C++ standard can just switch the meaning of boolean logic.

That's the biggest ABI change ever, which is technically possible, but would force C++27, and then either everyone would avoid it because retardedness, like JavaScript, or just stick to non retarded language versions.

And then again, what stops crapple from doing the same with Swift?

@xcodesucks

Actually, you are wrong there.

C has no concept of null, nil, or whatever else you want.

It's defined, by spec, that in integer boolean evaluation 0 is false and anything else is true. Pointers are just ints and follow the rule.

While C could redefine booleans, it's such a far fetched scenario as to consider it impossible.

And even then, you proceed to say the correct way is comparing against NULL, which in both C and C++ is a preprocessor macro that substitutes to 0. (And like any other macro, is trivially redefined to cause havoc).

C++ (sanely) recommends to use nullptr, which is a language level constant that only applies to pointers.

You know, my father said this to be the other day, and it kind of impacted me more than I thought it would.

We were discussing ambition and achievements, and I said I was thankful for all the opportunities they gave me.

He said. "There's nothing to be thankful for. It was our obligation to you."

See, my dad and I haven't always been on the best of terms (also owing to me being autistic and also succeeding in what he wanted to be and couldn't).

But everyone, him and me, can grow, not physically, emotionally, and come to terms with everything.

Definitely never forget. That dooms you into repeating history. But forgiveness is a really powerful thing.

You don't say anything embarrassing because it's local anesthesia.

Sure if might feel weird at first, but you'll adjust.

After all, if they are removed it's likely because you simply have not enough room in your mouth for them, and they can push other teeth around and cause other issues.

I had mine removed when I was 17, before they even pushed out, as to not completely mess up my prior orthodoncy.

In Spain the dentist is covered by healthcare but the waiting list is usually so long that you are better off paying the 40 euros it will cost to have it removed.
