Thankfully, the article did clear that up, but the fact that my brain didn't even think, "that's a stupid idea that no one would buy that" is a bit depressing.
something like:
curl -fsSL https://repo.aosc.io/pubkeys/repo/oma.gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/oma.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/oma.gpg] https://repo.aosc.io/oma $(lsb_release -sc) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/oma.list > /dev/null
sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y oma
Microsoft also has a "download deb and install", which I still consider slightly better than curl | bash; it's basically the windows install flow. People who are using a GUI can just double click it, people who want to see what it's going to do can examine it, and your (unsafe) one-liner is `curl XXX.deb && dpkg -i XXX.deb`. Plus it can be shipped to a multiple machines at once easily.
And hey, you already know they have dpkg.

Keep careful watch of problems in the future: the oxidation issue for the 13th gen is a physical defect not fixable by the microcode update, but we don't know how widespread it is yet (and Intel is keeping mum). If possible, it might well be worth returning and getting a 14th gen chip, which doesn't suffer from the latter problem and the former will be fixed by microcode.
X11 got network transparency out of the box (a sibling comment touches this), and the capability of switching out the components more easily, while Windows had less work to do to smooth out the overall desktop experience.
With warnings, it runs, but tells you about all of the mistakes you made. With strict, it doesn't run.
I think the people that love perl love its expressiveness. It has a little bit of functional programming here, and a system for making an object-oriented language, and all of these handy tools and you choose which ones you need or find most readable. I've heard Ruby called a better Perl, and - as someone whose day job is largely those two things - that's completely fair.
Rails is magic, both in good and bad ways. The good generally outweighs the bad. And it has things (like Sidekiq) that I typically need in a project, and I don't have to waste time putting it together and can worry about getting stuff done in my developer role, and code quality in my team lead role. I do use Rust in some performance critical stuff - I used to use C++, but Rust just feels good to write, like Ruby. We have typescript on the front-end, but everything's React and React just never clicked for me in the "this feels natural to write" sense, so I don't venture into that realm often.
We don't have trouble hiring, other than the usual "not enough money in the budget" problems.
A friend of mine tried to tell me that Elon had some type of new computing technology that would let them turn off most of their servers because they could fit all of the tweets in less space.
He blocked me after I told him he had confused Elon Musk with gzip.
"Chandra's Outrage deals 4 damage to target creature and 2 damage to that creature's controller."
I guess the real question is: are dang's parents still alive or do we have to clone him? Hopefully Twitter can wait for the minimum 18.75 years it'll take to scale out.
This is 1998. I was setting up my new main desktop with linux that year. When it got to network services, the installer asked me if I wanted dhcp and dns. "Of course I want dhcp and dns, I don't have a static IP here."
It was asking if I wanted to install DHCP and DNS servers on this machine. I can only guess as to what kind of configuration allowed this to spread as far as it did, but for about 2 days the state university shut down the entire lower college's network because my machine was apparently responsible for DHCP for everyone for just a little while.
They started recommending my friends from my high school. I went to a magnet school for my junior and senior years, and Facebook even recognized that. I graduated 10 years before I signed up. And the one piece I made sure I faked was the school I went to. I'm shy. If I wanted to communicate with someone I figured I'd add them myself.
Nothing magical to it. They had some other piece of data from someone else (or me from some other source) that matched up (the data was fake, but I had used it previously; I don't make that mistake anymore). But it showed me just how dedicated to getting all of this data they were.
As far as turning to stone directly, I don't recall anything, but indirectly? Xathrid Gorgon gives a petrification counter that grants defender.
The twitter account has a few more usable ones, but those are all simpler. tl;dr: the simpler the card that it makes is, the more likely it is to be useful.
But don't forget all of the other broken stuff blue had from the start: timewalk and timetwister, to name two.
We old people used to joke that the most powerful card printed of all item was "island".
Two years ago, I was ~300. I had been constantly gaining weight since I started taking Seroquel. I also had ankle surgery (unrelated to my weight), and was completely bedridden for 6 months, then in PT for another 5. After that, my doctor put me on those two medications.
I still had to be careful about what I ate, but the occasional snack was occasional; I could eat something bad for me once a week and not lost much progress. After a while the exercise was more pleasant, too.
I hit 220 a few months ago. When I switched jobs and stopped taking the two medications (doctor and I just wanted to see if the weight would stay off without them), my weight jumped back up to 250, but stabilized there. A good bit less than the 300. I started taking the two medications again, and now I'm losing it again.
Sad to say, but some Macbook models work great, and others are fucking terrible. I have two models - my older model where the only thing that has ever consistently worked is bluetooth, and a slightly newer one where nothing has ever broken.
Just a few years later my team had to contact them for a BSOD that kept happening after one of their patches. We were put off for about a week before throwing our hands up on it.
And - being perfectly honest about myself - I also enjoy the (brief and usually undeserved) "wow, he's a wizard!" that I get right before - just as a random example that has nothing to do with today - spending two hours trying to debug why some simple iptables rules don't work without testing that the network was working before adding them.
