Why are you hosting a tarball in a git repo? Where is the source for this?

I'm fairly sure the Gorn fight was the inspiration for the "rudimentary lathe" joke in Galaxy Quest.

The acceleration is fun when you first get one but it burns through your tyres. Most of the time I'm on my adaptive cruise control on any appreciably long journeys.

Did anyone think you could pin it on one person/institution/event?

All systems risk catastrophic collapse when overwhelmed and resilience comes from multiple overlapping measures to try and avoid that.

Climate change is here and will increases the chances of these wildfires burning it off control and humanity as a species is going to have to adapt.

RedReader still works with Reddit on the basis it's providing accessibility features which was a carve out they got during the exodus.

Things like Stealth never used the API but did scraping which I think is dead now due to mandatory login.

I dunno about that, I think any of the hard sciences have a lot of crossover with computing. It generally rewards the curious, patient and methodical.

Maybe it was just the cultural fit? Silicon Valley is certainly keenly observed 😉

It's a nod to history and the speaker who had to defy the king.

Was Season 3 that bad? I'm trying to recall which were the best ones.

I'm not sure there is a better way - all the user moderation approaches I've seen involve leaning on the regulars to spot stuff. The alternative is dedicated moderators which tends to lead to it's own problems. I don't think you want to rely on those who have just signed up as that would be open to abuse pretty quickly.

Not really. Large influxes of sugar put a lot of strain on the bodies ability to regulate blood sugar levels. It's not surprising that when we regularly consume way more than our ancestors would have that things go south.

I really didn't mind them although I can see the density of them might grate considering the short run of episodes. It's not like TOS had some very campy episodes.

I really looked forward to the comedy X-Files episodes but there was never more than one a season and that was an old school 26 episode run.

A super deep dive into working with the x86 memory model in emulation.

A fairly deep dive about how you can cherry pick stats to push a narrative.

 

For virtualization there are improvements for VirtIO, vfio and Loongarch CPU hotplug. On the emulation side additions for Arm, RiscV and even some speed ups for x86 string ops. On the documentation side a whole bunch of work has been done on QMP API to make it clearer and more navigable.

 

I was trying to add a Matter device from my phone but it kept saying I needed to install the companion app from the Play store even though I was in the companion app (from f-droid). I've installed the Bluetooth proxy app as well but it made note difference.

Does anyone know what's going on?

 

It always seemed to me that QAnon was some sort of online LARP on 4chan that got out of control and metastasized. It's left a trail of broken families and swept into the mainstream with branding and everything. After the predictions of Trump's return to power after Jan 6th it seems to have fizzled out. Did QAnon stop posting? Did their adherents just glom onto the next crazy theory? How many followers now disavow the theories of QAnon?
