The LUX-ZEPLIN experiment observed a particle interaction that could be interpreted as a signal from WIMPs, a dark matter candidate — but researchers will need more data to confirm.

No worries. They’ll just ship a development version to your machine and see what happens. That should be a good enough test.

Good point! Good point.

I’ve seen bubble sort implemented because we had data that said it was faster and was slightly smaller for the exact type data we were sorting and its expected distribution.

It really depends on what you’re building. In an embedded shop, lookup tables are first class solutions to most problems. Computer scientists though, 100%!

I don’t understand what the plan is. Becoming irrelevant and making it hard for users to access your site sounds like a losing play.

This is very personal and opinionated, but I just feel like Gnome isn’t going in the right direction. KDE Plasma feels vastly more modern.

I’ve been using an account with a translator. They have some unique niche videos I can’t find anywhere else.

Please do not call these devices license plate readers. They are surveillance tools with capabilities that far exceed that of normal license plate reading devices. It’s like calling an RPG a spear.

True, but easier for whom? Easier for them, not easier for me when I have to clean up their mess.

I quit because of the constant advertising causing interruptions to my workflow. Unacceptable. I switched over to Linux generally because I kept finding Windows to be a deeply unserious and frankly disrespectful OS.

“Accidentally”

Microsoft’s notion of consent is terrifying.

Windows doesn’t have native support for many archive types, such as RAR.

You keep your hands off my ACE Archiver.

I’m sure you know this but it’s about control and the middle manager emotional validation of seeing a bunch of people “working” at their stations.

I also do only the minimum required to keep my job, just like how they pay the absolute minimum to prevent me from quitting. It’s just business. It’s not like there’s a reward for working harder.

Nvidia doesn’t care about consumer votes. They have plenty of AI dollars.

Give it away?

I click on ONE my little pony video that one time.

Check for security vulnerabilities? But Internet hackers will do that for free.

That’s exactly what I’m saying. Any edge that I have as an individual isn’t relevant against these people. They have far superior information. I don’t have a chance.

In the same vein, this is partly why I’ve never understood the mindset of individual investors. Like, it’s extremely arrogant to seriously believe that you have an edge over highly resourced institutions and billionaire investors who can afford the best analysts and mathematical models on top of their market influence. I can assure you that whatever strategy you have, theirs is better, and they don’t have to play by the same rules. What can you hope to bring to the table when you’re swimming with these sharks?
