You have -1% battery, stored in an unsigned byte

must feel like when you're young, and your milk teeth start falling out and you know one's about to go, so you help it on the way, and when you're done, you forget about the whole experience for 20/30 years until you have you're own children going through the same

Rode. Don’t think he’s getting rode with those antlers

It’s possible, that now with ceasefire “in effect”, she sees it as a prime chance to be shot of him

The incentive will be to put more on bigger ships if its a flat tax. A VLCC carries 100-200M $ worth of cargo, so a $2m tax isn’t much especially compared to market fluctuation of the last week. For anything carrying less valuable cargo 10-20M(fertilizer?) this is going to be expensive

How much of a prick do you have to be, that you’re barely cold in the ground before they dig you up, lop off your head and put it on a spike for 20 years?

Seems the article itself is November ‘23

They’ve been living on a shoestring for decades now, so I guess their calculus is that their population can tolerate it longer than the rest of the world that hasn’t

Well, fuck’em then

Meta‘s intent?

And if by driving engagement you cause harm, then you should be liable for your actions.

The intent of the “algorithm” is to drive engagement. More engagement, more impressions. Whether it causes depression doesn’t factor in. They didn’t and don’t care

You shouldn’t be liable for users post, but you should be liable for what you push. Speech vs reach.

My understanding from a quick glance is it’s the algorithm’s fault. Good. The “algorithm” is what had rotted people’s brains. Back in the 90s/00s the older folk worried about what the younguns were looking at on Internet. Then they got on the Internet and now the strait of hormuz is closed

Compsci courses should have a required module where you’re just picking stones out of a field

Maybe things just started to go bad when they killed Google reader and then everyone was at the mercy of the algorithm

They do have more power now though. Or maybe they’ve broken our brains to want viral engagement. Somehow it feels not worth it to blog now since there’s so much other “content”. That said, a lot of the best stuff I still find is on personal blogs. Maybe I just miss Google reader

Civ has been around for 35 years at this stage.

The Strait of Hormuz being Goatsed

Have we considered widening?

someone who is good at the politics please help me. my hegemony is dying

Dumb and dumber still holds up though

I think he’s going for Scots-Irish. The Irish papists didn’t have much to do with the USA’s origin

Similar to what Grady Booch said recently about how the history of computing is movements to higher levels of abstraction

Sure wouldn’t they be passing through on the way to the big shmoke

Not that it makes any difference but article says he’s from Kilkenny not Kerry

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

And just play the worst set they can muster

I would argue that this is an improper use. I don’t disagree that they are useful. They very much are. But without the verification of the facts, this guy has just received a plausible fairytale.

Ever wonder why compilers use `xor eax, eax` to zero registers? It's smaller AND faster—CPUs optimise it out entirely!
