I would argue that you mentioned events that were rare and much prepared (also omit failed attempts), while what is required for any resource extraction must be mass-available. On the other hand, I don’t think any space resource mining will be reasonable, as I expect it to require more resources than provide.

Hmm, that really sounds like a win-win situation 🤔

I feel like ‘a half is one-third more than a third’ is ambiguous and same as in ‘X is N% more than Y’ one may use X or Y as 100%

I’m sure that one interpretation is more common, but I don’t think that it is exclusively correct

¿Por qué no los dos?

They can also use vague AI-generated ‘meme’ and ask what memes do you see. But they will need to use older and dumber models, current ones make stuff too specific.

What I mean is something like this:

Of course it is, now fall back in line, citizen!

Would be interesting to take a look through such a window.

But we could put ads during the new moon 🌑→🌚

I’m going to park my horse in the office then, good point

Got it. I agree that their drivers are (were?) of exemplary bad quality

But I don’t think that it is realistically possible to drop all the proprietary firmware blobs, and if it’s not maybe it’s better to not actively sabotage something to ‘avoid those being feasible’?

Early returns improve readability in that they make it simpler to read, but I also find them decreasing readability in that you may miss an early return and wonder why is execution not hitting the line you expect it to

Very much this. I eat sweets mostly not because I like the taste, although sometimes it is, but because it helps feel somewhat better when everything is depressing

Yeah, good cop is “When I see someone — probably they have something to hide.” Also, it’s not a good kind of good, that’s why I don’t want to deal with cops even when I’ve nothing to worry about, they can always come up with a reason for me to worry

What’s the reason to avoid binary blob drivers being feasible? Is that about not being able to use non-free binary blobs in kernel? I don’t quite understand what it even is about

It will do nothing, and I personally don’t think it should be done. But as a thought experiment it shows that saying other authoritarian countries’ citizens that they just ‘didn’t riot hard enough and this are all to blame’ was a bit wrong

But if it’s on Truth Social then it’s certified true

I tried to learn assembly for that, but never did after all

I should have added a ‘/s’, but I thought it is somewhat obvious, it really reminds of all the ‘git gud at C instead of doing Rust’

I need a sidekick like that, too

It’s a dig at people who don’t want to switch to memory-safe languages like rust.

Now that’s a stretch, it could be anything (no, it couldn’t, although I think this may have application to some other pairs of languages)
