This one has gone far too long without their share of the brain cell. I love them

My head canon is that it's a power play since Homer is a union steward

Feeling like a 1 lately. Everything is happening all at once, so instead of becoming a 2, I've become very scatterbrained

Even Apple finally admits that 8GB RAM isn't enough ( www.xda-developers.com )

There were a number of exciting announcements from Apple at WWDC 2024, from macOS Sequoia to Apple Intelligence. However, a subtle addition to Xcode 16 — the development environment for Apple platforms, like iOS and macOS — is a feature called Predictive Code Completion. Unfortunately, if you bought into Apple's claim that...

There are real world performance benefits to ram being as close as possible to the CPU, so it's not entirely without merit. But that's what CAMM modules are for.

rockSlayer , (edited )

If you allocate it right, you can add 200GB of swap space and then that 4GB of RAM will feel like 408GB!

rockSlayer ,

That's extremely dependent on the use case, but in my opinion, generally no. However CAMM has been released as an official JEDEC interface and does a good job at being a middle ground between repairability and speed.

Beautiful. You're raising a top tier meme lord. Meme nostalgia is gonna be huge

The study doesn't count because it's hamas

rockSlayer ,

RSUs are kinda shit too though. According to coworkers at my company that are actually valued enough to receive them, they're pretty difficult to sell

rockSlayer ,

She's a billionaire. She's used to killing people for selfish interests.

rockSlayer ,

"in Hamas custody", or killed by Israeli strikes? So far all the hostages have died from actions by Israel. The difference is extremely important in this case and the weasel word title doesn't help with giving accurate info.

Edit: it's worth pointing out that this is not OPs fault, but the fault of the news org

Voyager renders it fine, but it's so compressed that I can't even zoom in enough to see the pieces or the arrow

Well the saying goes "if you aim for the king, you best not miss". I think going for check or checkmate should be 3 actions, same with capturing with king. Mostly because the king would likely be in check in most situations where the king can capture

rockSlayer ,

This really en's my passant

Create a file handler class to avoid the issue

If you're having a day where you really don't like the idea of going in, then you need to take a mental health day

rockSlayer ,

If you're only taking mental health days when you're burnt out, then you're not going to actually help yourself with a single mental health day. There are other signs you need to look for that only you know about. My other signs include a nonspecific dread/anxiety about work without reason, extreme exhaustion, or extreme anger before my shift. Mental health is an "all the time" thing, and shouldn't be gate kept like what you're doing.

rockSlayer ,

Depending on where you live. The state of Minnesota has a law directly written by labor activists called Earned Sick and Safe Time, which gives 6 days of sick time to every employee in the state. Mental health is a valid reason to use it.

rockSlayer ,

I think we can confirm the claim

rockSlayer ,

I understand that eye contact is important for communication, but I just get intensely uncomfortable if it feels like more than a few seconds. I keep something I can fidget with around me at all times, to give a reason to break eye contact. I've also leaned into "animated" listening: exaggerated expressions so they know I'm listening. I think it also conveys more trust with the person, because they get much more comfortable sharing after a couple minutes even without lots of eye contact.

rockSlayer ,

Obligatory "I use arch btw" post

rockSlayer ,

JT really stepped up the editing on this one, I only wish I wasn't sick so I could have watched it while working.

rockSlayer ,

At this point they should just hold on to all the updates they want to add, and make it a sequel. I love all the things that they've added and it's clearly a piece of passion, but at some point they're going to need to publish something else

Because 4 years ago he said he was working on another game based on stardew.

I had to look it up, the Carrington Event was a solar flare that impacted the entire globe and caused telegraph stations to set on fire in the 1800s. It's the biggest magnetic storm in recorded history, and would lead to global devastation if another one that size impacted Earth due to our reliance on electronics

rockSlayer ,

Just like all storms, the geomagnetic storm scale is imperfect. It maxes out at G5, so it's possible for a substantially worse storm to be in the same category as what we saw last weekend.

rockSlayer ,

my guess would be moving the black bishop one to the left to place king into check, and then moving the other bishop into position. I also had an idea for castling and then using horse-castle placement for checkmate, but that's more than 2 moves

Arizona accuses Amazon of being a monopoly and deceiving consumers with “dark patterns” ( www.theverge.com )

Arizona's Attorney General, Kris Mayes, filed two lawsuits against Amazon on Wednesday for allegedly engaging in deceptive business practices and maintaining monopoly status. The first lawsuit accuses the company of using dark patterns to keep users from canceling their Amazon Prime subscriptions, violating Arizona's Consumer...

about damn time a company was targeted in a lawsuit over dark patterns.

They forgot to switch to their alt lmao

Block Fox and the other right wing news stations, but also a couple liberal news stations like NBC. When they call you for tech support, tell them it's a weird issue happening with cable lately

rockSlayer ,

the 'O' in REPORT feels like a directive to block, rather than do what you feel you need to avoid being brought into the issue. I'm sure if I put a few minutes into it I could come up with a recommendation on how to change it, but I'm emotionally exhausted today.

I'm an activist writing a housing bill to get introduced to my state legislature. Part of it specifically addresses these platforms, but I don't know what's been tried against them yet. Any tips?

Europe in 2 months:

I don't understand where all these afgan immigrants are coming from. They should fix their own problems

rockSlayer ,

Yea, there's that too. I was mostly thinking about how Europe is getting more xenophobic and caring less about climate change

rockSlayer ,

Yea, of course. This article is specifically about Germany, but notes that it's a trend across Europe

rockSlayer ,

I work for a video game company, and I promise you're being far too generous about their motives. This NDA prevents press from doing press. If the alpha is bad, they're not allowed to say how or why it's bad, at all.

rockSlayer ,

Nah, this is a pathetic attempt to get free ads from games journalists without any downsides

rockSlayer ,

I'm on publisher QA side. Every so often, around this time of year, my company does closed internal playtests for games that are on the pre-alpha release candidate (usually it's the ones they expect to be blockbusters). Generally when a pre-alpha RC is selected for this, a very small subsection of the game is highly polished to give Users an honest preview of what the devs expect the launch game to be. Obviously since it's in alpha a lot of things will be changed and there are a lot of game breaking bugs to be found still, but the general experience should still be up for discussion if it was bad. I know it's possible to imagine a game in alpha as released, because part of my job is to give professional feedback to the producers without ever mentioning unfinished or bugged aspects of the game.

rockSlayer ,

Alpha testing is, by definition, testing on unreleased code. Even though they are offering the testing to some select group of people, it’s still considered un-released.

I go out of my way to explain how alphas are typically done as a games industry professional, and you're still out here spewing the same nonsense? get outta here. This is not a defensible action by a corporation. When a game reaches alpha, the whole of the game is unready but the part used in the public playtests are extensively reviewed by QA and gets as polished as possible. When a game is at alpha stage, it's by definition gone through multiple release candidates.

rockSlayer ,

Odd, those look remarkably similar to krusty burgers

Just so it doesn't get understated, there has literally never been a single change in US relations with Israel since 1948. This is the single biggest policy change the State department has ever made.

rockSlayer ,

This is a public signal by the State department, which has influence backed by federal law. It's a warning that the bombs will dry up if any US arms are used in the aid of war crimes. Yes. Everyone knows that US arms have been used in Israeli war crimes. That's the point of the message, and will have enormous shifts in foreign policy by the entirety of NATO.

Edit: the direct answer to your question is that the US has never warned Israel like this. They have never threatened to end military aid.

rockSlayer ,

Well that's part of the thing. Web scraping doesn't get covered by policies. Like, they could ban your ip or any accounts you have, but web scraping itself will always be acceptable. It's why projects like NewPipe and Invidious don't care about YouTube cease and desist letters.

rockSlayer ,

Yea, I've seen those pop-ups when trying to find something out. It sucks but isn't a significant barrier to web scraping

The State Department said that Israel's military campaign in Gaza may have violated international law. ( www.nytimes.com )

The Biden administration has concluded it is “reasonable to assess” that Israel’s military campaign in Gaza has violated international law, but has not found specific instances that would justify the withholding of military aid, the State Department told Congress on Friday....

rockSlayer ,

That's because the State department typically doesn't refer to specific statutes when signalling policy changes. To read the laws that I'm referring to, look for the International Traffic in Arms Regulations and the Arms Export Control Act.
