“This computer will never go out of date” indeed.

Bridge market must be having a boom.

Not copyright, as much as if the book isn’t precious, it’s easier to do that, feed the loose pages into the scanner, and then get an intact one if you want it, compared to the additional expense of having to build and program a machine to carefully turn the pages and photograph what’s inside, or the time it would need by comparison.

Especially if they update and the entire computer is then broken, like with the recent bug where it would break particular SSDs.

It’s also simple enough for someone to change their agent’s prompts to include that attitude.

You can just say API K*y, it’s okay.

I am a little curious about how effective a traditional chain mail would be on it.

Now, I suppose if you only need 32GB RAM and a CPU that’s pathetic by modern standards, then this is a viable path. But that’s going to be a very small group of people.

It’s not that bad. For the most part, it would still be a viable machine these days, though weaker than it used to be. Computers haven’t changed quite as much as they used to, compared to the period leading into the 2010s.

My desktop is still a 4th gen intel. You’re not going to get bleeding-edge performance or efficiency out of it, but it’s hardly a slug. If anything, I’d argue it to more likely be the majority of computers. People don’t upgrade that often, especially if the computer works fine and doesn’t lag horribly.

Especially if it considers assets. That’s basically one housing bubble if you’re a homeowner.

Plus people are mean all the time. We don’t live in a comic book world, where a moment of fury at someone on the internet turns people into supervillains.

Wasn’t a lot of their tomfoolery why people relocated to Reddit to begin with?

The old technologies that we used to use for websites never really went away. They’re still around, and you can use them to make websites again if you want.

It’s just that it won’t be as fancy looking as a newer web-site, but you don’t lose too much on functionality.

Especially since servers can do more sophisticated cooling systems than the average home user, like dunking the entire system in oil.

I’d argue schooling in general. Instead of being something you do because you want to and enjoy it, it’s instead a thing you have to do either because you don’t have the qualifications for a promotion, or you need the qualifications for an entry-level position.

People that are there because they enjoy study, or want to learn more are arguably something of a minority.

Naturally if you’re there because you have to be, you’re not going to put much, if any effort in, and will look to take what shortcuts you can.

Though the check isn’t very sophisticated, if memory serves. It more or less checks whether / is passed to rm -r.

If you did something like rm -r $VAR/*, but didn’t check to make sure that $VAR was set and not empty, it could still fire, since rm wouldn’t see that root got passed, only a bunch of directories in root.

Just take the app name, for example. From memory, single letter app names aren’t typically allowed in either of those places. X got a special exemption to let them use that name.

At the same time, they could easily be a crutch. Why bother designing a good, accessible website if most of the users are just going to access it via a chatbot?

This feels like it’s going to incentivise developers to either make bad puzzles, or bad hint systems. Why bother with a good one if the platform has a “complete this for me” feature? It is basically impossible for players to get stuck or struggle, when they’re either shown the solution, or the game completes it for them.

I don’t understand the point of sending the original e-mail. Okay, you want to thank the person who helped invent UTF-8, I get that much, but why would anyone feel appreciated in getting an e-mail written solely/mostly by a computer?

It’s like sending a touching birthday card to your friends, but instead of writing something, you just bought a stamp with a feel-good sentence on it, and plonked that on.
