Any pronouns. 33.

Professional developer and amateur gardener located near Atlanta, GA in the USA.

I'm using a new phone keyboard, please forgive typos.

  • My entire point is that before they weren't saying "real" versus "imaginary". You're proving my point. In the other fields mentioned you could make the same argument about the interpretation changing but the book still being useful.

    When and why did the US switch to these voting machines that are the subject of ongoing lawsuits and reports of unlawful "updates"?

  • paper ballots

    Just FYI, I think most, or at least every voting machine I've used in GA, actually prints a paper ballot that then is read by a machine (or maybe a human, not entirely sure).

    Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean they're immune to some sort of foul play. I always triple check my choices and triple check the printed ballot. But is there some sort of nefarious trickery in some machine readable only part of it? Perhaps. I personally don't think there is, but who knows. I'd love to be proved wrong. I'd love to see the fascists suffer.

    To be 100% clear, I don't think there isn't foul play going on, I'm just skeptical that it's specifically in the voting/counting machines, but I haven't also read up on the most recent of claims from the past few weeks about it.

  • You're gonna be fine. Honestly, if your team has given you permissions to do something accidental like this then it's on them. You're not gonna get stuck with the bill. You're not gonna get fired. It wouldn't be your fault.

    It's really only scary when you're doing it solo with your own back information lol.

  • No, it changed things like "how many roots does x² + 2x + 2 have" from "none" to "two".

  • Curtains on windows are actually really unsafe, someone could be abusing a child in there. Locks on doors are unsafe too. Someone could be abusing a child back there.

  • The only people who saw the real agile were people in a ski resort. Every company says they do agile now but favors processes and tools over individuals and interactions.

    (The ski resort comment is because I believe the people that wrote the manifesto were at a ski lodge when they did.)

  • Reminds me of the one with the 7-11 gecko (or some animal) near a soda station. And 7-11 replies "can you tell us where this is so we can check on him and make sure he's safe?" And they're like no I ain't a snitch.

  • Idk why you're talking like that, I wasn't trying to contradict your point, I was just making conversation and sharing my experience.

    But anyways, to answer,

    1. Given the chance to upgrade to 11, I probably would've come close.
    2. I wanted to get a new computer (and have) for years. I'd upgraded everything except the CPU and it was starting to be a problem. Some games are beginning to use the x64 "v3" instructions. Elden Ring ran at 20 fps despite having a 3070 ti.
    3. Around the time I first started to look into work arounds was around the time the recall screenshot stuff started coming out. I didn't want to abandon something working with a workaround just because it's new and shiny. (If I was still using that computer I'd probably try doing the workarounds now. I've already had a BIOS/UEFI issue and I don't wanna upgrade to an OS that technically is only supported on UEFI because of that negative experience.)
    4. Yes, I have tried Linux before. It's just always been on a secondary thing like a laptop. Dual booting is a waste (in my view) so I decided, fuck it, new computer will be Linux only from the start.

    If Windows 10 support had been longer, Windows 11 didn't have such a horrible spyware thing (literal screenshots), or my computer was a little newer then I probably wouldn't switch. It was a perfect storm of circumstances, I admit.

    Since then the only problems I have run into are very specific ham radio programs that only have Windows support, and even those work on Wine, but it's annoying. I've just been borrowing my wife's laptop. Typically things like firmware flashing programs. CHIRP works perfectly (another program) on all platforms.

    Edit: also I had an annoying experience with OneDrive recently. Just a lot of negative things right at the end.

  • There are dozens of us! Millions of devices and dozens of us know about Duke!

    Fun fact, Duke is released to the public. I forget in what way exactly, but Oracle freed them (him? it?).

  • Windows 10 going EoL, Windows 11 having spyware and not supporting legacy BIOS options (so I didn't upgrade sooner) were all three big reasons I am on Linux now on my primary desktop computer.

  • Fun fact, some languages are not turing complete and I believe people would still consider them programming languages. They're typically targeted at making mathematical proofs.

  • Fortran is from 1957, LLVM is from 2003. It's probably like C where there is a compiler tool chain that goes through LLVM like you describe and others that go directly to executables.
