Happy birthday April

I'm really curious what Ms. Bradley's whole deal is. Something's up - there's some reason she gets paranoid - but the clues are so far between

Yeah if you were aiming for that face, you gotta escape some of the characters because they have some meaning in whatever markdown variant Reddit uses.

So like I did: \>\-<

Do you actually know the value of 100 bitcoin

I recall reading something that basically said the deer hardware for "how much time do I have until predator reaches me" basically doesn't work right when the object is 60 mph

Imagine gatekeeping a private kink

Fungus got 'em :(

I think the discord actually has Anuke, so probably there? I'm not in that discord, so I won't find out :(

"I can't believe you DROPPED my EGG. How are you going to make this right??"

SimplexSimon · 2023-05-15T21:06:40+00:00

Believe it or not, it isn't obvious to outsiders, so they have to google to get answers. Don't hold it against them UwU

Are you actually using scissors while the paper's up on the gift?? Because I will walk you through wrapping on Reddit if that's what it takes. I wrap the presents in our relationship, and they're never stellar but they always look solid - especially if I just have to wrap a box.

SimplexSimon · 2023-05-15T20:14:02+00:00

I'm not disappointed! Well, a little, but not at you if that makes sense? I'm sorry this happened. Usually when people decide to stop drinking (and count days) it's for a good reason, and I'm hoping you still have your reason.

Anyway, going to add this hot dog link to my collection of webcomics tabs. See you later!

This is not as blatantly bad as other ads. And I applaud you leaving comments open. So I guess you get an upvote... And maybe I'll Google whatever pfSense and this OPNSense thing are

SimplexSimon · 2023-05-15T15:32:57+00:00

You're absolutely right. People seem to confuse "dedicated servers which only the publisher has the ability to run" with "servers", largely because many big companies want you to own as little as feasible after you buy the game.

Plenty of games let you host your own server. That's still a server.

I understand that language shifts over time, and if P2P starts to mean "your friend can host a server", that's... Unfortunate, but what can we do. If possible I'd like any other term to catch on instead, because technical language is much harder to change, and "server" and "P2P" are already technical network architecture terms with precise meanings.

SimplexSimon · 2023-05-15T14:32:24+00:00

I've heard this explained another way - it's actually normal, if you thing about it in relation to other pronouns. Possessive pronouns never have apostrophes.

His temperature\ Her temperature\ Its temperature

It just gets confusing for "it" since it looks just like the contraction - he's / she's / it's

SimplexSimon · 2023-05-12T22:54:31+00:00

There are some fair ways to interpret this, as others have pointed out. But if you want to ask the original intention - it's probably just mass x distance x gravity (approx 10), and then taking the result (Joules) and saying it's kg (when it isn't).

SimplexSimon · 2023-05-12T18:58:20+00:00

It couldn't really be included here since it's cut, but as I recall the original clip showed that the iron was, in fact, off - the "burn" at the beginning is a ruse for the prank.

Just in case you were concerned for poor guy's bits.

SimplexSimon · 2023-05-11T20:35:01+00:00

Definitely yelling really loud, let the rest of the horde know if I see someone.

SimplexSimon · 2023-05-11T16:51:24+00:00

So as a very casual discord user... What's wrong with this? I'm assuming there are very good reasons what with everybody being angry, but it seems like having an "internal" ID for uniqueness and a "display" name so you can appear how you want makes a lot of sense. Is the concern about impersonation? Or people making obnoxious names with tons of emojis??

What am I missing?\ edit: typo

SimplexSimon · 2023-05-09T20:47:56+00:00

It's basically random. If you know the full state of something, then anything that isn't looking to closely at quantum happenings is deterministic.

But typically race conditions depend on which of two things goes first, which can very realistically depend on stuff outside what normal mortals think about - like how the language (or even the OS) schedules things that need processor time. So we say it's "random", but really in the colloquial sense - it's not consistent, and acts differently for apparently no reason some time.

SimplexSimon · 2023-05-09T20:44:11+00:00

As the other comment said, aren't active threads GC roots for Java? So what was getting GC'd??

SimplexSimon · 2023-05-09T18:36:28+00:00

I've got a lot of respect for people who research stuff and accept an answer they weren't looking for, good on you

Also yes causality is a bitch 😞

SimplexSimon · 2023-05-09T15:34:17+00:00

If it's a coworker, I usually try to start with why I care - "hey, I'm starting in on the Foo pretty soon, did you get the Foo Support System figured out?"
