tbf if you have very few runes on you in Elden Ring then dying has very little consequence. Only your progress is reverted a little.

once the wind dies down and the humidity rises, a fire becomes much less dangerous. The problem with these recent fires is when you have like sustained 50 mph gusts and 5% humidity. When I first moved here in 89, I never heard of a fire crossing a freeway (though no doubt it happened sometimes) because the conditions weren't typically so bad. Now it is commonplace.

seems fishy af. he tries to block the hole of a yellowjack nest by driving a stake in (??), and a fire starts (?????). uhhh

I think my first experience with an optical mouse was on a Data General unix workstation around 1990 or so. It needed a special pad; the pad was metal and had a grid pattern on it. The mouse was somewhat less responsive than ball mice at the time.

I've used noise cancelling headphones for thousands of hours by now, luckily no issues. My latest pair is Sony 1000xm3. I love them so much, it would be a huge bummer if I was afffected by the pain issue and had to give them up.

It's how I usually drink my cold brew. Just mix with hot water.

If you like this puzzle/game you will love nikoli.com

I don't really understand this reaction. It just seems a little immature to me. It's like "I'll show them!! I'm NOT going to try lisp. haha"

Whether or not lisp is worthwhile to learn has nothing to do with how some people advocate for it, right?

Depends on the fractal. I occasionally make HD animations (using Ultra Fractal), and those run about 1 hour PER FRAME. A short clip takes several months, just to render. (search for jockc on youtube if interested)

Got my 3ds about 2 months ago and I absolutely love the 3d aspect. To my eyes the 3d view is beautiful to view/play and is oddly nostalgic (it reminds me of a Viewmaster).

I know that comp.lang.lisp is still active.. I assume there are plenty of other groups still active as well.

How did all you people find jobs that allow you to work from home? I would love to try it, I just don't see many programmer jobs that allow this.

I find that copy rectangle works wonders for lots of problems like this. It's simple to type

1

2

3

4

5

6

7

8

9

0

and then using copy rectangle I can quickly assemble long lists of numbers.

I do use keyboard macros quite frequently too, but mostly for more complex operations (e.g. start of line, search for char, set point, search for next char, kill-ring-save, move to end, set point, yank, uppercase region)

Well that's interesting; I started using emacs around 1986 or so, and the first thing I did was go thru the tutorial; I don't remember it being overly basic at all.

My favorites are The Invincible and Fiasco

I don't remember enjoying Permutation City that much, but it for sure as hell has stuck in my mind for years (to this day, in fact) for the ideas it brings forth. I think I'm going to reread it.

As usual, this was foreseen by the Onion http://wwww.onion.com/articles/stephen-hawking-builds-roboti...

seems rather stupid to me..

I'm guessing ROT13

Yes, but what if he used "thIs 1s n0t my p4ssw0rd". Wouldn't that cause the cracking program to burst into flames?

Not much different. He generates sales for Rapidscan, in return they buy consulting service from his company.

In fact generally alcohol doesn't kill brain cells either http://health.howstuffworks.com/human-body/systems/nervous-s...

Yes a simple base is 100% safe, however if you spend 90% of your time exploring/mining caves (I do), you will find plenty of danger. That's really the point of the game--not building a base that's going to be attacked by mobs.

I hate that curved space graphic. Now you have some mysterious gravity pulling both the sun and earth down. I wish someone would come up with a better example to show gravity as curved space.

Verbose how?

I watched a program about this girl and I remember thinking this the whole time. She stopped development in most ways, but that doesn't mean she isn't aging.

I started using emacs as a C programmer; even for C, emacs was a great environment, especially back in 1989; good integration with the compiler and cvs, auto indent, syntax highlighting, etc..

Seems like it would be easy for laptop makers to design something into the laptop to manage how the battery charges/discharges when it's plugged in. That way you could leave it plugged in 99% of the time (as probably many of us do) and not impact the battery negatively.

I was thinking this too as the credits were rolling.
