It’s not right to fight the mentally deficient. And your weird obsession isn’t hurting anyone other than yourself. Just don’t be whipping your UI out in public or in front of minors and you’ll be fine.

Oh they might be intending to capture that strait to minesweep it and open it back up. Which will probably continuously cost lives of those holding it while boats get targeted by drones anyways.

Yeah, though getting useful information out of documentation is a skill on its own that not everyone possesses. But I agree that “it’s in the manual” can be useful, especially these days with how common useless manuals are.

Like I just bought a motherboard and the paper manual it came with was useless, like it didn’t even differentiate between installing Intel or AMD coolers, so clearly didn’t contain much specific information for that particular board.

The online manual had more useful information, unless you want more info about uefi settings, where you’ll be lucky if it has full information of uefi options for the release uefi, let alone the latest version.

It was a different commenter, though I also like snacking on dark chocolate chips. Baker’s chocolate is also good, but the consistency of the squares isn’t great for snacking.

I just read it as a tip for how to get chocolate anyways, even if all the chocolate bar makers stop using it. The chocolate-like but cheaper stuff they are using instead of chocolate sounds more like the dustbowl/depression era tricks to enjoy food while you can’t afford it.

Though part of my perspective is from getting my cooking to a level where store bought prepared stuff is just the easy/convenient option, not the high quality one (for health or taste). I also love dark chocolate and prefer the high cocoa content ones over must chocolate bars.

And I’m confused about how you found anything in that comment dystopian. Though I’m assuming that name I didn’t recognize is a brand name for an actual chocolate producer. Hopefully it isn’t a brand name for something similar to chocolate but not lol.

Yeah, I think sucralose is the only one that doesn’t taste awful to me. Like I’ve always been skeptical of the defense of aspartame because it tastes like something I shouldn’t be eating. I was looking forward to stevia back when it got popular, but it also has that taste (I’m guessing from leftover solvent, since it’s not water soluable like sugar).

There’s plenty of ways to make things taste great without relying so heavily on sweetness. I hate the western food industry’s obsession with it along with the capitalist obsession with selling as much as possible, because it’s resulted in the less sugar I’ve wanted to see instead meaning the sugar is replaced with other chemicals that taste sweet (and “chemically”).

And I doubt safety studies looked at anything beyond “does it so obviously cause issues that we’ll be sued the moment we try to sell this?”

Knowing apple, at that price point, performance is going to suuuuuck.

It’s like people who reply “rtfm”, except these people actually think they are helping, while the rtfm replier just thinks the question asker isn’t worthy of their knowledge (or wants to hide that they don’t know while maintaining their “I am wise” persona).

A missile could carry something as light as nothing or as heavy as ISS modules. And anchors don’t even have to be that heavy, they just need to be denser than water and generate enough friction with the bottom to keep whatever is attached from moving too far.

Though they could even use catapults or trebechets mounted to the backs of trucks to mine it.

T’would be funny if this kind of demand drove the prices back up. Not to money laundering levels, but like to like $180 or something.

I’ll see your grand and say 950 is still too high.

Lol I grew up in rural areas and remember my mom being excited about the northern lights and watching them from our front porch, wondering what was so special about some lights in the night sky, which was already full of lights.

At least my daughter has been growing up in towns all her life so far and appreciated seeing them this past year, unlike the little shit I was.

Then fuck them all. The individuals involved, just “following orders” or giving them, should have all been charged with fraud.

Any ideas that can’t be challenged are just dogmas. And a mindset of “any opposition to any of my ideas for any reason means you’re an enemy” is just tribalism.

It’s just as stupid on the left as it is on the right. The world isn’t black and white.

Can you give examples of things that were called genocide but actually weren’t and just watered the word down?

No, the exact % depends on how stable everything else is.

Like a trivial example, if you have 3 programs, one that sets a pointer to a random address and tries to dereference it, one that does this but only if the last two digits of a timer it checks are “69”, and one that never sets a pointer to an invalid address, based on the programs themselves, the first one will crash almost all the time, the second one will crash about 1% of the time, and the third one won’t crash at all.

If you had a mechanism to perfectly detect bit flips (honestly, that part has me the most curious about the OP), and you ran each program until you had detected 5 bit flip crashes (let’s say they happen 1 out of each 10k runs), then the first program will have something like a 0.01% chance of any given crash being due to bit flip, about 1% for the 2nd one, and 100% for the 3rd one (assuming no other issues like OS stability causing other crashes).

Going with those numbers I made up, every 10k “runs”, you’d see 1 crash from bit flips and 9 crashes from other reasons. Or for every crash report they receive, 1 of 10 are bit flips, and 9 of 10 are “other”. Well, more accurately, 1 of 20 for bit flip and 19 of 20 for other, due to the assumption that the detector only detects half of them, because they actually only measured 5%.

Who is talking about average consumers? We’re not trying to market something here.

Improved overall system stability and data accuracy? With error correction, you can also push performance farther, since you can tolerate a certain amount of errors, instead of needing to aim for 0% error rate.

Because it isn’t really about security. It is about control.

That comment was basically Microsoft’s business plan ever since like windows 8 until they made it no longer true by making windows so bad “what OS should I use” did become a topic, at least with the nerdier segment of the population.

Though on the other hand, that 90%+ segment of the population still doesn’t gaf other than “why are computers so hard?” style complaints.
