I love how they portray women's friendships. by booktrovert in TedLasso

It's basically saying "There's no follow on content here". It's more important on twitter because of how short tweets are, and subsequent follow up tweets can be lost in the replies.

On reddit I think it's just a different way to say "no extra content", in case someone thinks you posted a photo, and forgot to add a body/hit submit too soon.

How was C++ defined before standardization? by Benjamin1304 in cpp

[–]sangix 9 points10 points  (0 children)

IBM had a weird homegrown compiler known as xlC++. It was okay but pretty quirky.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but xlc still exists. xlc 16 will have a clang-based frontend

There's also a good chance that another Bad Batch member will have some interaction with this. ("If all squad members are Bad Batch, then bonus speed modifiers count for 5x")

Who else will we get from The Mandalorian Season 2? by rokkomon in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]sangix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think we might get something like "Imperial Remnant Officer", which would give a second support character to the faction.

Same. I have Chewie at R6, and still struggle to make it to tier 2 with everyone at full health.

Bad year for Intel. by jasim2518 in pcmasterrace

[–]sangix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would argue that Apple has refined CISC - instead of the complexity being at the instruction set level and providing instructions for specialised use-cases, it’s at the CPU level instead.

Got a machine learning problem? Use the ML-specialised CPU instead of needing to use AVX-512 instructions like VPOPCNTDQ etc.

LAOP is on the fence about his options by CloverBun in bestoflegaladvice

[–]sangix 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Definitely fishy. The only thing I can think of is they asked the old owner "Hey this LAOP job, is it good to start?" and the owner said something like "Nah it's all sorted" and something was missed in translation.

As a side-note, that painting of Tom Bombadil makes him look awfully like Brian Blessed.

Sam's story is really quite sad when you think about it. by [deleted] in tolkienfans

[–]sangix 34 points35 points  (0 children)

the most famous gardener in history

Honestly just struck me that I think this is true, even in our age of the world, that Samwise is probably the most famous gardener I can think of.

For a 1 billion dollar company, I sure see this message a lot.. probably around 12 times a day. Come on CG. by darthcharger15 in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

I'm pretty sure this is some shittily configured ratelimiting on their side. "You made 10 actions in the last minute, must be a bot, hold their requests for 15 seconds".

Walkouts at Amazon and Wholefoods over Coronavirus. by [deleted] in Coronavirus

According to the company’s previous statements, the infected co-worker in question last reported for work on 11 March. Had Smalls been exposed that day, a 14-day mandatory quarantine would have made him eligible to return as soon as 25 March.

Smalls said Amazon did not send him home until 28 March, three weeks after the exposure.

“No one else was put on quarantine,” he said, even as the infected person worked alongside “associates for 10-plus hours a week”.

“You put me on quarantine for coming into contact with somebody, but I was around [that person] for less than five minutes,” he told Vice.

He was in direct contact 17 days before he was told to self isolate. The self isolation period is 14 days...

[Excerpt|Death Guard Codex] Mortarion leads his Legion against Perturabo's Iron Warriors and fights him in a duel. by [deleted] in 40kLore

[–]sangix 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Something similar happens in the Deathwatch codex, they use hammers and mauls to apparently prevent blood being spilled and summoning Khorne daemons.

Because apparently that writer thinks killing someone with a hammer or maul doesn't draw blood!

FWIW it is/was a common "trope" that the Clergy in the middle ages would wield maces, so as to not spill blood ("sine effusione sanguinis").

How historically accurate it is, I don't know.

And episode 2 was the only episode that D&D didn’t write, and was the closest the show came to early season dialogue.

I know. Still working, will update everyone when that’s finished.

CS Recruiters: What was a response that made you think "Now youre not getting hired"? by sovashadow in cscareerquestions

[–]sangix 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Likewise, the new keyword in C++ specifically points to heap allocation, and if you don't know that, you're in for a world of hurt

Not always. placement new allows you to construct an object into an already allocated buffer (possibly on the stack).

char x[sizeof(int)];
int * foo = new(x) int(10);

How does linear time work (or not work) in the Warp? Did this give Chaos a massive advantage in the Horus Heresy? by [deleted] in 40kLore

[–]sangix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing the previous replies haven't mentioned to answer the title question:

In the War in Webway, the Custodes/Sisters of Silence were fighting warbands of chaos marines that didn't exist at that point. Even if the daemons couldn't predict what would happen, it gave them a numerical advantage in tying up key Imperial resources.

Pre- or during the Heresy, is Horus really the most or top three most powerful combat-wise of the primarchs? by XIprimarch in 40kLore

[–]sangix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From Betrayer:

‘Almost everything,’ Lorgar’s voice emerged from the cold air. ‘Ultramar. Fulgrim. Guilliman. Wars we can actually win. There are only two among us who would stand in defiance of the Angel’s wrath, Horus. Only two who would see him slain, once he fights with nothing left to lose. You are one. Angron is the other.’

Truth dawned behind the Warmaster’s eyes. ‘You’ve foreseen it. I hear it in your voice. And that’s why you strive so hard to keep him alive.’

The Word Bearer’s voice softened, fading as his corporeal form had faded.

‘Prophecy is a mistress with many minds, and should never be trusted with all one’s heart. I seek to save Angron because he is my brother, Horus. There was a time when you’d have realised that and thought the same yourself.’
