  • How TF2 Still Makes Millions (With No Updates)

    Jump

  • Matchmaking? TF2 moved away from community servers? Bleh.

  • Windows drive letters are not limited to A-Z

    Jump

  • One (contrived) example would be to have a drive that doesn’t have any installed file system filters on it. Filters being the hooks that windows, antivirus, etc have that intercept file writes and such. Could make it much faster on windows for that use-case. I can see custom software using that drive.

    Contrived? Definitely. But potentially useful. I can see it working similarly to something MS has in testing which is the file system thing that is super fast but is limited in features—can’t seem to find it atm…

    Edit: Found it. Dev drive via ReFS.

    His dissertation was… “Quicksort”

    Holy hell.

  • You don’t know how to use an abacus? You must be an idiot.

  • What battle influenced the course of history the most?

    Jump

  • Even if Germany succeeded at Stalingrad and captured the Caucasus, there was no way Germany would have been able to maintain it. The entire campaign was doomed for failure.

    The oil fields were sabotaged well in advance and weren’t able to produce notable amount for a good 6-9mo after. Allies had plans to bomb the crap out of them as well. Russia moved the majority of their industry further inland prior to the German’s arrival.

    Put simply: Germany didn’t have the population or production capacity to win. It just wasn’t feasible. Could they have won “politically”? I suppose, but that’s like asking if Allied leadership would have sued for peace, which based on the personalities is pretty damn unlikely.

  • The AI bubble is 17 times the size of the dot-com frenzy — and four times the subprime bubble, analyst says

  • I don’t think that’s quite the same. The companies that are “in” index funds change, so it’s more like investing in the top X companies at any given time. In theory, you’d only be investing in companies that are innovating and doing things.

    Not saying you’re wrong about things assuming to always grow, just pointing out that it’s not quite the same thing.

  • JUST IN: James Comey, Letitia James to Be Indicted in the Coming Days, Per Reports

    Jump

  • For those in the legal profession, failing to get a single grand jury indictment is a serious embarrassment.

    Embarrassing enough that in the past it nearly always resulted in them being fired/resigning.

    Six failures to indict is unbelievably unheard of. It shows so much incompetence that it’s hard to comprehend.

  • What’s one thing you wish more people noticed in everyday life?

    Jump

  • …now violence and breeches of social contracts…

    The latter? Yes. The former, most definitely not. Violence by all measures is at an all-time low, at least since the 1920s.

  • uhm no im not downloading a .sys file i swear its just wikipedia

    Jump

  • Eh, not really. It’s also not a bad implementation, IMO.

    You can configure a webserver to detect if the request is coming from a bot (discord) then return one payload (regular html page). Otherwise return another (download the sys file).

    There really isn’t a foolproof way to determine this, either, because browsers will just straight download files if it has an extension in the url.

  • It’s okay to have a wrong opinion.

  • AMA and other medical associations are kicked out of CDC vaccine workgroups

    Jump

  • I don’t have as many opportunities to do what you suggest—never mind that I wouldn’t wish harm on people. I’ve convinced many off the MAGA ledge, but I’m not exactly in a position to travel places since I have to take care of my son since his tumor was on his spinal cord and a chunk had to get removed.

    I’ll be frank, though, you’re certainly entitled to your opinion, but you’re wrong. Commit violent acts and they’ll go further into their MAGA hole and be more justified. But yes, I’ve contributed by making my local gov go from red to blue through active participation and knocking on doors—probably way more than you would do.

  • I get the sentiment, I really do. But it’s not fair to those that actively tried (and are trying) to get rid of Trump. Personally, I’m trying my best, but there isn’t much I can do on a national scale while trying to keep my family’s head above water.

    My son thankfully is no longer getting chemo treatments so he isn’t immunocompromised—but we know a lot of cancer families where their kids are undergoing chemo. Do they deserve it? Empathy goes a long way.

  • Mentioned this in a thread, but will comment at a top-level:

    ProsperousUniverse.com - You’ll end up wanting to use spreadsheets for the game. It’s EVE Online production/trading without the combat.

    It’s a very slow paced game so don’t go into it expecting a current-era gaming experience. And yes, super viable to play the game without paying anything for at least 9months.
