186 years with the current level of funding and procedures, I assume. And random, unannounced visits of even 1% of those sites should make a significant difference.
Indeed, '\0' is the sentinel character for uncounted strings in C, and even if your own counted string implementation is “null-byte clean”, aspects of the underlying system may not be (Windows and Unix filesystems forbid embedded null characters, for example).
TuxPaint is just as fun for adult artists, especially using a stylus touchscreen. The Magic tools have unique digital-grunge effects that a more respectable paint program won’t have (my favorite is Chalk). I only recommend replacing the stock colors with something like Dawnbringer’s 16- or 32-color palette.
Between this and the iPad used as a display for a headless MacBook it’s an ongoing tragedy that the best use case for such world-class computing hardware is as a screen for another device (which is itself running the same OS, on comparable or weaker hardware!)
The hardware stack pointer is restricted to indexing within [$0100, $01ff] but, lacking a stack-pointer-relative addressing mode, it is more preferable to realize a parameter stack using a zero-page pointer indexed with the (zp),Y addressing mode, as cc65 does.
Even the most measured emotional appeal is considered unprofessional on the basis that it appeals to humanity; it is “unfair” to appeal to someone on a para-rational level. You can’t reason away how someone’s face dropping, their voice breaking up, makes you feel.
As a single person who eats out far too often, I've observed a general decline of commercial eateries over the past year in staffing, ingredient quality, and menu offerings. It's back to organic PB&J's for me.
I love AWK. Its stringly-typedness would make a Javascript programmer blush: 0, “”, and actually-nothing are identically falsey. Numbers are no different from strings representing numbers, like Lua. Somehow, I don’t mind — if you really need to keep your numbers numbers and strings strings, sigilate the value (prepend with #/$) and peel it off with a substr() later.
What kind of cannabis are people trying to treat their anxiety with? If it's high-THC dispensary strains and oil cartridges, no wonder; such products have hardly any medicinal value.
Agree, I wish them the best of luck — I’m not convinced a computer will ever beat me in the single-sided perf board niche, and I’m but an amateur, but I’d be happy if one did.
If this good were “clearly” great for society, they wouldn’t have trouble forming a conglomerate towards achieving it. We can use the wealth that isn’t sponged up and locked away at the bottom of the sea for such initiatives.
Society has had enough of ostensibly singular “great persons” inflicting their idea of the greater good on the rest of us in exchange for love, respect, and money. The rest of us have to earn those three.
In what sense? Higher resolution formats provide more true-to-life fidelity, but that's only more true-to-nonsense when the additional information is produced from extrapolation.
What is the smallest feasible cleanroom for such a purpose? Can we fit a turnkey chip fab in a shipping container, hermetically sealed upon manufacture, fully automated, even pre-stocked with wafers? Drop it on a concrete pad, fill up the chemical tanks, send a spec, you have a wafer bonded to a standard package in X hours
I understand such therapy is rather formatted that when the patient asks “why do I strike my children?” the therapy looks not for root causes but immediate ones. “What do you feel leading up to these violent incidents? Once you understand that, it becomes your choice to head them off.”
Neither just text or just concepts, but text-concepts — LLMs can only manipulate concepts as they can be conveyed via text. But I think wordlessly, in pure concepts and sense-images, and serialize my thoughts to text. That I have thoughts that I am incapable of verbalizing is what makes me different from an LLM - and, I would argue, actually capable of conceptual synthesis. I have been told some people think “in words” though.
In the best case, sidewalk slabs tilt and settle unpredictably from frost heaves and water movement, and it only takes a small step between two slabs to trip an able person. If a sidewalk is maintained at all the lifted edges will be ground level, a yearly process. Just one example of routine maintenance that I notice.
I can only think of Gfycat, which spun off their adult content to a separate site, Redgifs; since then the individual sites have been acquired by different companies.
