ESR: “Every good work of software starts by scratching a developer’s personal itch.”

Orions are demonstrably mammals, but unfortunately fictional.

I’ve spent a lot of time in RPGs, and the last time I RPed in a G was around the time George Bush’s dad was president.

Did he make you manually allocate all the space for food in your stomach before you started to eat?

I feel like I’ll probably watch that Mayfair Witches show starring Alexandra Daddario at some point, but it hasn’t happened yet.

My experience in going from C to C++ was different: if you’re not converting everything from mallocs with custom addressing systems to the collections framework, you’re not living.

They named the bill wrong - it should be Kids’ Act for Online Safety- KAOS.

My last game was exhausting. Years of cryptic lore, mediocre tie-in properties we pretended were good, pvp you could opt out of midstream by switching off your router, a sandbox that one player characterized as “as wide as the universe and one inch deep.”

So, I thought I’d try something completely different, and that different thing, god help me, is Evony.

PEMA is technically correct. Division and subtraction are illusions.

My Spanish is mediocre, but typically can get me from A to B without a lot of misunderstandings. I was driving back from the Mall in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and my very British GPS decided to route me via “Calle Ajore.” Now everybody uses abbreviations for the word “street” - and in Spanish uses “C.” For “Calle” just like English uses “St.”

So, I’m battling traffic, and Lady Winifred Windsor the GPS advises me to “Turn right to see a whore.”

Try to train a human comedian to make jokes without ever allowing him to hear another comedian’s jokes, never watching a movie, never reading a book or magazine, never watching a TV show. I expect the jokes would be pretty weak.

Finland: Greeting each other?!?

When I want to see a broken mod, I just surf over to Reddit.

I didn’t get what you were asking until I started to answer. The parameter is the angle. The algorithm is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CORDIC . In (most?) compiled languages, this algorithm is performed on hardware. In (some?) interpreted languages, it’s done in hardware.

This is what I call a ‘pro grammer move.’

I don’t have the most subtle sense of taste, but for me it’s a nearly un-noticeable difference.

It does. And in a pinch, if I run out of tahini, I’ll make hummus with peanut butter.

It could be lifesaving in those rare occasions that you accidentally call the teacher ‘Mom.’
