That implies we need to use evil compilers to program the Kill-O-Bots.
Man, I somehow always suspected Perl would be the death of us all, but I didn't quite have this in mind!

Just how much control is given to the players? Creating our own quest lines and NPCs, etc is kind of obviously intended, but just how far down the rabbit hole can we go?
Can players define their own weapon/armor stats? What about models?
Can players modify their rulesets to add, for example, new loot drop tables? How about new crafting professions?
And, actually a really important question: Is the digital release going to be available without Steam?
There have been plenty of those: legitimate, technical complaints about design flaws, suitability, and downright broken shit. Yet, somehow, that all seems to fall under the "Lul Change-hating luddite uniz nekbeard" response. So I really don't think we can take any proponents of systemd seriously, either.
Since Debian's not going to protect me from this svchost-cum-kitchen-sink abortion after all, looks like we're going to FreeBSD!
You do realize that the government is made up and elected by you right?
Just because america is fucked up doesn't mean the rest of the world runs their governments like ass.
Having been to a few retirement communities, and watched some documentaries on dementia, this one sounds like paradise to me. Generally dementia patients need a stressful amount of care that "modern" hospitals struggle to provide. Reading about these folks all living happily together like this is idyllic and for sure where I would want to end up if I lost my marbles. I have no delusions that I will be rich and be able to care for myself in that sort of state, nor would i want to burden my children with caring for me as my grandparents did to my parents.
But sure I guess, pile some more guns on the problem you have with healthcare in your country. See if that works.
Get over yourself and your One True Way, Holier Than Thou attitude
Funny, that's my boilerplate response to GNOME these days.
So Network Manager had to come in because init lacked the ability
You say that like it's a bad thing. Have you replaced your car because it doesn't chop carrots, yet? The init system didn't NEED to deal with the network settings, because it's a fucking init system, not a network manager.
Where the hell did this whole kitchen sinking mess come from?
person who's decided to stop doing what they _wanted_ to do
Emphasis mine. No one else stopped them. There's a world of difference.
Saying that "monolithic" means "single binary" or any of the other paraphrasings pretty much disqualifies anyone using that (incorrect) handwave from taking part in any real discussion of technical merits/flaws of the system. It's a double whammy of "don't know what the hell you're talking about", and "don't care to learn better, because you have brand loyalty to uphold."
Unfortunately, there's too many of them on both sides to let the grownups talk.
You woke up and discovered you had installed Windows 2000?
Quite the scary illness you've got there. I'd rather find my horse's cut head.
I don't think they added the horse head option to the installer until Windows XP...
at least most board partners are quite friendly regarding their return policies concerning it.
ug.. Coil whine happened to me a few years ago on a brand new card so i RMA'ed the card. At the time it took some convincing to issue the rma too iirc. They shipped me some refurb card that never worked right. And the next one didn't work right (unstable or just plain DOA cant recall). By now Im up to 40 bucks just in shipping these crap cards back to the company. Never did get a working card out of it. The next card they sent me was awesome (2gb video ram at the time), but it was never stable. Ended up just buying an AMD card after that.
Should have just stuck with the damn whine, but it was driving my wife crazy (i can wear ear phones). And it was a brand new card under warranty, so I wasnt going to go desolder coils right off the bat!
I've gotten significant results with much smaller sample sizes (and I do mean statistically significant
With that kind of result distribution?
I don't really see how Bennett's keyboard diarrhea this week is anything remotely related to "News for Nerds"
They knew that Haselton's horrible grasp of statistics would prompt the nerds to click frantically to point out what a tool he is.
You read it again.
He's saying, there is no significant difference between the two groups. This contradicts the hypothesis
And everyone with a clue is saying that the conclusion doesn't hold, because the sample size is ridiculously, uselessly small.
Real Programmers don't write in FORTRAN. FORTRAN is for pipe stress freaks and crystallography weenies. FORTRAN is for wimp engineers who wear white socks.
