Complete non-story. The Deck has been out for years for this verification to mature and it’s usually less about specs (in the age of FSR/DLSS etc.) and more about “can this game be played with this control scheme comfortably” which is not an issue for the Steam Machine since it’s just a PC.
That was so badass. It’s really a crime how hard Disney fucked the sequel trilogy, but The Force Awakens was at least fun. The other two were hot garbage.
I’d vote for AOC a thousand times harder than for Newsom. I’m not sure she actually wants the position though, she’s potentially got a long career as a rep (or senator) in front of her and could probably turn into a Presidential candidate in any cycle, but having a major legislative win is bigger than that, according to her
I had an Aussie team lead in 2016 and he messaged me the day after the election like “WTF happened?”
I was feeling grim and said “we just woke up in a fascist hellscape” which at the time was gruesome overkill for effect but I often think about that interaction now. America is not the same place it was a decade ago.
Bari Weiss is a disgusting hack, and laughably unqualified, but being a news outlet editor is way more complicated than just rubber stamping factual reporting. Editors allocate resources - from writers and photographers/crews to even start a story, to how the front page is divvied up, how stories are promoted, how many column inches (or words, or minutes) a topic gets.
Point being that there are definitely feelings involved. Even if it’s one story is more interesting than another, or we’ve covered this topic more than enough lately, or this story is factual but not adding anything new, etc. etc. etc. It’s a hard job, and more subjective than you’d think, so I don’t blame her for being defensive when she’s literally the worst editor to ever hold a national news desk down.
Never in a million years would I let my kid transition… to being a Floridian.
AOC had to walk so Mamdani could run. Not only proving DSA candidates were electable, but also that they could actually do the job by being pragmatic (for better or worse).
Sexism might be an easy answer, but let’s not forget that AOC is a rep with a small district, and got around 100k votes. Mamdani represents millions of New Yorkers and curried more than a million votes in his election. Mayor is also a much broader executive position than being one of 438 reps.
Point being, Mamdani’s election/position comes with a lot more mandate than AOC’s, regardless of gender.
Have some examples? I wouldn’t be surprised but the last time I watched I didn’t hear anything that I considered problematic. Admittedly, I’m willing to forgive a lot of generalization when characters are walking caricatures and say crazy shit regularly.
Good list. I think the only one I’d disagree with is Mallrats. Clerks is still brilliant, but last time I put on Mallrats it didn’t hit at all.
I think a lot of Mel Brooks and Zucker comedies (Naked Gun et. al.) have aged pretty well with their absurd and physical comedy although they can definitely fall flat sometimes.
Christmas Vacation also comes to mind. I think everyone can still relate to the holiday family dynamic.
Even older can still be good - thinking like His Girl Friday style screwball comedies, or Desk Set, Some Like it Hot etc. They still work as comedy, you’ll laugh, but they may also require a bit more cultural context to really enjoy, or interest in the period/fashion.
Green pool Trump is blathering about vs. a manufactured immigrant crisis, the mental decline of someone that is no longer in office, or a murder that happened two years ago…
Hmm, weird.
I find this image hilarious, but Dr. Who is so wholesome most of the time it’s hard for me to imagine Sisko getting more than mildly annoyed by his antics.
This is definitely about the D language, I just haven’t heard anything about in a long time (since Rust ate its lunch) and nothing about it using AI or long time devs leaving.
Was there drama with D? I’m out of the loop…
There’s a new medical procedure that needs to be done only once. Kinetic injection of lead to the brain. So simple it can be self administered, or with the help of a friend in line of sight.
I think M-M-Monster Kill is more appropriate, even if it’s just one guy.
Do you think benchmark results like these are meaningful when comparing Linux distributions?
Almost never. Bumping the minimum architecture version and optimization levels is all well and good, but unless you’re doing tons of vector oriented workloads it’s not going to qualitatively make a difference.
American people have plenty of empathy and compassion, what they don’t have is literally anyone else to call.
If you have an emergency, you call 911 and as soon as they hear the word “gun” cops are the only outcome. Maybe in some universe a person has some foresight in case of a suicidal person with a gun and can look up local resources or something, but until we have something built into emergency services for this, panicked people are going to do the one thing they can think of when someone needs help.
