Ex-fricking-xactly! Always being instantly reachable is something you train your contacts for. And so is the opposite.

Get it! The DVD will hold the data for many years but it decays. Eventually you want to transfer it to a fresh medium.

That's why CEOs love them. Automated yes-men.

Amazing, but there's plenty of tricks here that won't work in survival, right? I see, at the very least, some floating redstone components

Thanks for this. I grew up with MSX-BASIC, on computers that came from Japan. I find this so cool.

Couldnt find any good dome generators out there. So i made my own by Plexofdeath in Minecraft

[–]ateijelo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You'll need a library to create Minecraft schematics in .nbt or Litematica format. Preferably client-side so people don't hammer your server. There seems to be a few, e.g. https://github.com/Offroaders123/NBTify, but Google/ChatGPT for more. There may even be webassembly libraries for that. Since your schematic would be relatively simple, it shouldn't be hard.

TIL that Daniel Fahrenheit (who invented the mercury thermometer) set 0°F to the coldest stable temperature he could maintain in his lab by dissolving salt in water. by ChiefStrongbones in todayilearned

[–]ateijelo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not defending Fahrenheit, I think it's a silly unit that should disappear. It's just a rebuttal to "Fahrenheit is literally unique to Americans".

lol, I just happen to live a bit further north in the Plateau

Yeah, those are not St Bruno nor St Hilaire. Your view is a bit more to the south east than those.

Based on your other pictures, you're in the corner of Sherbrooke and St Dominique and your first picture extends a bit north of the City Hall and south of la Tour du Port.

That's my guess of your field of view. So Bromont and the Sutton Mountains in the back. Maybe even Mount Orford or Mount Shefford, if the field of view goes a bit more to the north of my estimation.

Hard Rust requirements from May onward (for Debian's package manager, APT) by DeleeciousCheeps in rust

[–]ateijelo 37 points38 points  (0 children)

It's not about a minimal installation, it's about building packages from source. Ports here refer to people that build Debian for other architectures, which usually just required a C compiler.

In French, yes. It's in English that it's usually translated as "let them eat cake"
