  • Have you ever made money online?

    Jump

  • CurseForge shares a slice of their ad revenue with creators, so getting money simply depends on how many people visited your page. Even if a mod is unpopular, you still get a minuscule amount of money.

    I should mention that you get paid in "points", and these points can be used to redeem money. For example, every 100 points = 5 USD.

  • Have you ever made money online?

    Jump

  • I wrote some Minecraft mods and uploaded them to CurseForge. I still get about 5 USD every week. It used to be every 3 to 4 days but I seldomly upload new stuff now. For reference, my projects have 1.6M total downloads combined, 2k weekly.

    It's nowhere near enough for sustaining life, but it's like pocket money for me to buy games and renew my domain.

    I won't buy a smart fridge until they can play Tetris with the food inside.

  • TTC is already 0xA

    Jump

  • It's in some way related. This is the Tick Tock Clock (TTC) upwarp, a glitch that happened to a speedrunner (not ABC) where Mario got randomly teleported to a higher position. It was speculated that a bit flip happened due to cosmic ray, but it's more likely that it was caused by a hardware bug instead.

    pannenkoek2012, famous for creating A Button Challenge (ABC) TASes, put up a $1000 bounty for anyone who can solve (consistently reproduce) the TTC upwarp, since an upwarp would be very helpful in gaining height without pressing the A button to jump. This upwarp never got solved, but he already found ways to beat TTC without any A presses and it was insane: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98EpPsaAF_k

  • Let's update...

    Jump

  • The only difference is that -Syyu forces the database to update

    To explain what database means in short, it tells pacman what packages are available in different repos (e.g. core, extra). In some rare cases, the time of the database update may be incorrectly marked, and pacman would not know there are new packages/versions. -Syyu should be used in this case.

  • What sensory enhancement would you pick?

  • I did it in Cantonese, probably similar to the Mandarin poem.

    I think my mom started making me memorize it in the last year of kindergarten (I was 5yo). By the time multiplication becomes the main topic in primary 2 (2nd grade) maths, I didn't really have much problem doing them. It was really useful to have it recited.

  • What do country names (ones you are affiliated with or know of) mean in their own language?

    Jump

  • You already said China so I guess I'll go Hong Kong.

    Hong Kong (香港) means fragrant harbour. The origin of this name is unknown, but there are theories of it coming from a type of wood we produced, a nice river, the wife of a pirate, or some residents just pronounced it with an accent to the British soldiers.

  • What obsession does your country's/region's fast food have?

    Jump

  • Fast food isn't really cheaper in HK either. Tipping culture is non-existent here so that doesn't cause a difference.

  • What obsession does your country's/region's fast food have?

    Jump

  • Interesting. Fried rice is more commonly found in traditional restaurants for us. Not much in fast food.

  • MSG was so prevalent until people said it was bad. One of our local fast food chain restaurants still has a "No MSG" poster in some of their branches.
