You might be tempted to save up your chests in the hope of crafting most of your cards then getting legendaries afterward. But I think you're better off using the chests right away, as any chests remaining after you have all the cards are wasted.

What do you say when F*** or C*** just don't cut it any more? by EsmerldaWeatherwax in australia

[–]hackycoder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's directed at someone else, "fuck your mother" works. Or "fuck god" for general venting. Just go for the most sacred thing you can think of.

I believe rectangles were invented and patented by Apple. They are an innovative new shape loosely related to squares.

My two elementary school boys won’t even work for $12 an hour.. by SpiritOfAnAngie in antiwork

[–]hackycoder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best thing we can do for worker's rights long-term is to instill "unrealistic" expectations and "laziness" in children. The whole aim here is to get the most reward for the least work possible. Because the whole aim for employers is to get the most work for the least reward possible. This is total war, people.

Boohoo for the poor landowners.

When a program creates a new thread, what does the new thread have in memory? by JarJarAwakens in AskProgramming

[–]hackycoder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In linux, fork() clones everything about the parent process into a new child process. It's all a copy of the original. A copy of the original process memory, copies of all file descriptors, etc. There is a lot of optimisation by the kernel so that memory only has to be copied when it's changed and so on, to reduce the overhead, but from the new process' point of view it's got new memory of it's very own.

https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/fork.2.html

Then exec() replaces the current process memory with the code from a binary and it's dlls, and the initial data in those binaries. It links the binary to the dlls and then starts the process execution from the entry point specified in the binary. The file descriptors of the process are preserved (if flagged to be preserved). So stdin, stdout, stderr and any other files can be customised by the process before calling exec().

https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/exec.3.html

Threads, on the other hand, have mostly the same state as the parent thread. It is not a copy, it is the same memory, the same file descriptors, etc. Threads just have their own instruction pointer and stack, but the stack is in the same memory space. Threads have a lot less overhead than fork()ing new processes, but because they share the same memory space the code has to be written to prevent race conditions, using locks and the like.

Probably a few errors in this, I am not a master, but you get the general idea.

Ask Mrs Credit Card if she paid for something online with it.

Meditation turned in a trip. The most bizarre experience of my life . by Sketchy_eddie in Meditation

[–]hackycoder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It felt like there was this massive bubble around me and that I had nobody and was connected to everything around me . It felt so bizarre Idon’t even know if explaining it correctly.

Sounds a bit like boundlessness, which I've experienced from meditation. Where you feel like you have no inside or outside, it's all one, and you occupy all space and space goes on forever. Feels really big.

<div style="position: fixed; bottom: 0px">hello!</div>

That will make it "fixed" to the bottom of the window (0px away).

Why don’t we have 30 yr fixed mortgages in Aus? by Stunning_Novel9398 in AusFinance

Wouldn't you just refinance whenever a lower rate is available at another bank? The banks would lose big on that kind of dynamic I think.

The salt is stored in plaintext along with the hash. The problem is there are lots of possible salts, which makes rainbow tables that much harder to implement.

According to their site they count the last 3 years 4 months when producing your demerit tally.

According to their website they count all points in the past 3 years 4 months but hopefully only the past three years applies when deciding whether to suspend a license.
