Step one: decrease funding. Step two: wait for them to seek funding elsewhere. Step three: use step two as an excuse to decrease funding even more. Repeat.

This is how they are dismantling democracy.

Every American should report the inaccurate name to Google repeatedly until they change it back. How many reports would it take to at least inconvenience Google?

PCs are already modular though, and have been for basically the entire time people have used the term, unless you buy them from a vendor like Dell or HP. This article isn’t about Intel creating some new universal standard, it’s about Intel creating yet another competing standard (that they control) so they can get in on the vendor lock-in party.

Almost as bad as once every 3 days!

Sorry, that’s not what I see.

Both are measurements of cross-sectional AREA and are defined in terms of square millimeters (mm^2), not mm.

God what a naive and toxic attitude. This peak toxic troll thinking that has absolutely no place in any useful discourse. With all sincerity, you should really seek help. I really do pity you. This isn’t flattery. I’m not angry. I’m not celebrating you. I don’t care to hurt you. You’re just a sad fool and I hope you find a way to be better.

YYYY-MM-DD is the only non-mental way to write either.

I was only answering your question about why programming a way to parse those common date formats is problematic.

The date is 12/11/2024. Am I talking about yesterday or a day about a month ago?

Postcard aesthetic isn’t good enough?

In the US it must be Springfield because there’s so fucking many of them that they named made a TV show after it.

Stupid sexy autocorrect.

TV static in recent movies and shows that are set in the past almost always instantly pull me out of the narrative because no one seems to be able to get it right and some are just stunningly bad. It’s usually very subtle, so much so that I’m not sure I could even describe what’s wrong. Makes me feel old to notice it.

Let this be a lesson to you then. Checking the logs should be your first troubleshooting step, not installing a variety of distros until one “just works”. Good luck.

I’ll phrase it like a shower thought:

“Avoiding politics is about as useless as avoiding economics, math, science, or the arts; they permeate everything we do. We even use them to define what it means to be human. We might as well avoid breathing.”

I think avoiding partisanship and incivility might be more productive, but it has the problem of being more vague and requiring judgement, thus requiring more effort to enforce fairly and consistently. I don’t think there is an answer that will satisfy everyone. Avoiding politics may be a good rule for this community, even if it’s pointless.

The “E” (and similarly the “IE”) at the end is a very different pronunciation indicator than an “E” in the middle of the word.

There’s no need for the weird hate in your spoiler tag just because you don’t understand something.

How do you pronounce the U? Do you pronounce mould like should, would, or could? Is your pronunciation of mould then closer to mud than old with an M in front?

Bet!

I’ve used it. But mostly by the time I had created a deck to study, I didn’t need it anymore.

Start using it yourself. Use it in awkward, wrong, uncool ways. They’ll drop that shit like, “What the sigma Dad!?!”
