_prototype_··on Putin’s War Is a Death Blow to Nuclear Nonproliferation
A "Russian Asset" yet Putin invaded Crimea when Obama was president. Also invaded Ukraine when Biden was president. I wonder what the pattern is.

_prototype_··on Linux kernel heap buffer overflow in fs_context.c since version 5.1
did Linus talk about this exploit in a mailing list? if so, can someone link it here? its always interesting to read Linus' perspective
_prototype_··on Poll: Why are people leaving their jobs?
its probably because they are being fired for not succumbing to the government edict to get vaccinated

_prototype_··on Up all night with a Twitch millionaire
League is extremely fun and addicting. Its a huge dopamine kick. When I play, I stay hooked for hours on end and have to stop myself.

When I code, I'm mostly just thinking hard and not very happy. The best part is the "aha" moment, and the huge dopamine kick of solving the programming/debugging problem. It is also NOT addicting.

These are two completely different things. I'm not sure why you're so determined to compare the two. They are insanely different.

He takes Adderall my dude. I'm a developer and I use absolutely no cognitive enhancers. If I took Adderall I would be able to code for 20 hours straight. I took a small dose back in college and that stuff is insanely good for long hours at anything.

Also, I'm speculating here, but I think he is on Testosterone Replacement Therapy, which also has insane energy, mood and cognitive enhancements.

Lastly he takes a ton of stimulants.

I don't for a moment think he's working purely off "natural" energy.

_prototype_··on Inflation rises to 6.8% year over year
Biden directly closed the Keystone XL pipeline after Trump had us at energy independence. Also, he and his democratic party pushed and passed the biggest spending bills in our nations history. You don't think that directly affects inflation and gas prices?

You must be living under a rock, or willfully blind.

_prototype_··on Inflation rises to 6.8% year over year
We replaced a president that made mean tweets with one that has directly affected our lives via increased inflation and gas prices, to name a few. Crazy times.
_prototype_··on Importance of muscle mass, strength and cardiorespiratory fitness for longevity
Its really not very complex, but its hard. lift weights 5-6 times a week. And be consistent. Consistency is everything.

After about 6 months you'll see incredible results. Keep going.

_prototype_··on Most Prescribed Drugs in the U.S.
its crazy how high in the list anti antidepressants are. In my case, I was diagnosed with hypogonadism. A simple prescription of testosterone cured my depression.

Makes me think how often people have been prescribed antidepressants when it could really be a hormonal problem.

_prototype_··on Std: Print is headed for C++23. std:cout is now a code smell
Someone needs to write a book "C++ The Good Parts", similar to Douglas Crockford's "Javascript the good parts".

C++ is insanely bloated and complex. If there is a book distilling the best and cleanest parts of the language, I might give it another look. Haven't considered it in earnest since College.

_prototype_··on Southwest new CEO denies walk-off rumors, defends pilots amid schedule meltdown
I'm glad you came to the same conclusion about yourself that I did from the very start of this conversation.
_prototype_··on Southwest new CEO denies walk-off rumors, defends pilots amid schedule meltdown
You're comparing a school requirement for children, with extensively studied and venerable vaccines (which are not RNA based) to a government mandate on all federal workers, and soon to include the private sector as well (ie get it or get fired)? Seriously?

I can home school my child, but cutting off peoples livelihood is not the same.

If you cannot see that, then there is no reasoning with you.

You seem to be upset (ie cursing etc), you should perhaps consider that your anger is clouding your judgement.

_prototype_··on How many hours did you work yesterday, this week, this month?
I think a more interesting question is how many hours of actual work did you do in a day, as opposed to the company required hours.

8 hours a day required by company

Probably work closer to 5.

_prototype_··on How my ivermectin research led to Twitter death threats
Shouldn't more treatment options be a good thing? I can never understand this logic.

You're missing the point. Its not the virus, or about "poisoning us", its the precedent that is being set by the government essentially forcing a new substance injected into the masses.

Any sane person would conceit that a medical decision is to be made by doctors and their patients, not mandated by the government, as every single case and patient is different.

The fact that the government is mandating this (after Biden explicitly said he wouldn't put a mandate in place the way)is extremely dangerous. If they can do this successfully, only time will tell what they'll try next.

Go ask Israel. They are on their third required booster shot. Are you so naive that you think the government will give up this power after it has successfully forced the masses to inject a vaccine with no long terms studies?
_prototype_··on YouTube is banning anti-vaccine activists and blocking all anti-vaccine content
All this for a virus with a 99% survival rate [1]. Nevermind the fact that media and government forces completely ignore natural immunity which has been shown to provide 27x more resistance to covid infection by a recent study [2].

You can't really be surprised at the general distrust and hesitancy. You can get a "Vaccine Passport" but you can't get a "Immunity Passport"?

Ridiculous

_prototype_··on Sony’s new PS5 model weighs less because it has a smaller heatsink
Reminds me of this recent story on Reddit where a Xbox Series X overheats and blows up: https://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/pdvcct/my_xbox_seri...

I will be skipping this generation. Not that it matters anyway, these consoles are impossible to find and buy, at least this will continue to be the case well into 2022.

_prototype_··on 4chan founder Chris Poole has left Google
You keep taking the bait. Stop being so emotional, jesus. Use logic
_prototype_··on Social Network Gab Goes Offline, Disappears from Twitter

_prototype_··on EU countries team up for semiconductor push
I'm in the US. The company I work for also hires remote contractors from Europe. We do basically the same thing (software development).

One guy I'm close with, and we've talked about our salaries.

I make 200k My friend in Europe makes 30k.

The difference is astounding.

Do not move to Texas please if you plan to vote the same way that has made California as unbearable as it is today.
