And some people believe that making a tulpa is just intentionally giving yourself a mental disorder.

Last time I looked, the `image` crate was the defacto standard for doing image manipulation in Rust, and in my opinion its API is/was pretty bad. (Had several different types for "an image," which made things annoying, and I recall hitting unreachable!() in a public function once).

"I'm fine, how are you?" or "I'm fine, what about you?" would both be more normal in my opinion.

Well, they don't actually say it's "not centralized." They say it "will not be issued by a central party," which it won't--it will be issued by 28 central parties.

*Quake III Arena

Rocket Arena is/was a mod

>If you can call it that

You can't. Manjaro uses its own repos. It'd be like calling Ubuntu a wizard for installing Debian.

>the Arch Linux fork Manjaro ships a static private key on their installer image which also gets copied to the target system. The result is that all Manjaro users have the same "private" key and anybody can easily use this to sign any package that the package manager will accep

So, maybe Vonnegut was onto something when he wrote Cat's Cradle

>There is zero benefit to using Rust vs. C++ in a high-performance and memory-safe network server.

Except for, you know, the part where Rust is actually memory-safe and C++ isn't.

I guess that depends on whether or not MITM is an attack vector that you're concerned about

Tanning beds.

> Someone somewhere once said that cannabis makes it fun to be bored, and that's the real danger with it. It's not toxic, it's not terribly addictive but you get addicted to feeling good when doing nothing at all.

I think that was South Park

I don't think that's pretending at this point

One of the other common checks is to look at your hands though. Those definitely aren't new

(I did that once, and iirc I had 2 fingers on one hand and 7 on the other? Or something like that)

"BSD is what you get when a bunch of Unix hackers sit down to try to port a Unix system to the PC. Linux is what you get when a bunch of PC hackers sit down and try to write a Unix system for the PC."

Off the top of my head:

1. For whatever reason, a lot of Americans seem to have the mindset that once you've been convicted, you're basically less than human--you don't have any rights. You deserve to suffer, because you committed a crime. (Yes, I understand that being convicted does not actually mean you committed a crime. This fact is lost on the people I'm talking about). See also: people joking about men getting raped in prison, and saying that they deserve it.

2. Low recidivism rates are bad for for-profit prisons because then they get less money. And remember that, in America, money is speech, companies are people, and people have the right to free speech! To quote an article[0] that I just found through a quick Google search: "The two largest for-profit prison companies in the United States – GEO and Corrections Corporation of America – and their associates have funneled more than $10 million to candidates since 1989 and have spent nearly $25 million on lobbying efforts. Meanwhile, these private companies have seen their revenue and market share soar. They now rake in a combined $3.3 billion in annual revenue"

You have two [3]s, just fyi

Eh, I think it's more like "Do you need a decentralized write-once database where you trust none of the writers? Then yes. Otherwise, no."

...Yeah, that's pretty accurate

>My intuition says Rust is more like a safer version of C++ while Go is more half way to Python/Julia. Do you agree with this sloppy assessment?

Yes

>study well typeset tables to learn why they look nice.

Can you link to any resources that discuss this?

I don't think you're going to find an electric horn that can get as loud as an air horn.

I'm currently using an apu4b4 running OpenBSD as a router; it's been a good way to (as a Linux guy) dip my feet into the BSD ecosystem.

Later today (if all goes well) I'll be adding wifi to it!

I think that would depend on whether the SPF record indicated soft-fail or hard-fail, no?

So, this entire article is complaining about something that isn't even true

Even Steam itself is "just enough." Off the top of my head, the Steam Linux client:

* Ignores flags (so `steam --help` for instance just starts Steam the same way `steam` does)

* Ignores signals (including SIGTERM, I believe)

* Screws up my tiling window manager sometimes, so it probably ignores EWMH

I personally think Valve needs to just separate the core Steam functionality into some backend and allow users to write their own frontends.

===========

And now for an unrelated "Valve/Linux" rant while I'm here: Half-Life: Opposing Force has been unbeatable on Linux since its release. The final boss's death animation plays too quickly and the trigger to change to the next map never occurs. There's been an issue open on the ValveSoftware/halflife GitHub repo about this since 2013. And the real kicker? Someone (not a Valve employee) actually went through the source code and determined the cause of the problem[0]. It still hasn't been fixed.

===========

Screw it, I'll give you one more. Last time I checked, it was impossible to get Half-Life Dedicated Server running through steamcmd[1][2], because the necessary files never finished downloading. When I was trying to get this working, I eventually found a GitHub repo containing modified versions of some files that you could use to make steamcmd actually download everything. I was unable to find this repo again while writing this comment (but I didn't put that much effort into it).

Cloudflare manipulated DNS entries in the recent past[0], so I don't think I want to use them.

It's unfortunate that you're being downvoted without anyone telling you why they're downvoting.

The issue isn't brightness, it's the actual color of the light. The tl;dr version is "blue light definitely messes with your sleep cycle." There's a Wikipedia page about this, with several references at the bottom: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_blue_light_technolo... (And I'm sure a search in your favorite search engine will find even more information on this subject)
