lime!

i don’t use it because it’s an 80MB Electron mess with built-in tracking and advertising that does the same thing as tools that are installed on the system from day 1.

I think the term they are looking for is “proportional”

you can tell this post is ai by the way that it is.

how neat is that?

the devkit was an SGI supercomputer, since they designed the CPU. no nintendo hardware in it.

Remember how extreme hardware progress was back then. the devkit for the n64 was $250k in 1993 but the console was $250 in 1996.

you know on the one hand i like the idea, but on the other i would like my computer to be as unantropomorphized as possible so that i don’t start treating it like it has feelings.

i’ll take ERR 0x2038A702 UNABLE TO COMPLY; LP0 ON FIRE over oh nyo pwease don't SIGKILL me uwu any day.

this specific style has been proliferating the past few weeks. there’s some new model that’s really good at just two-tone comics. it’s immediately obvious when doing a side-by-side.

it was, i miss it. surprisingly little smoke, but we did get some good arcs going.

doom’s netcode is weird as well, all the clients run in perfect lock-step. seems like it would be weird on non-duplex networks.

no, and yes. i’m not going into more detail for fear of doxxing myself but basically we wanted the waveforms generated by a high-voltage short circuit.

later tests involved help from a power company and actual high-voltage lines.

we were recording the magnetic fields generated by a high-energy short circuit. we hung a mouse trap from one of the lines, with a lead going to one of the others, so that they fused together when it sprung.

it is normal here, yes. larger appliances get three phases, and single-phase outlets are split between them as evenly as possible.

we hijacked a conference room on a shared floor for a week and built a three-phase high-voltage line in there by hunting around the building for which sockets were on which phase, then plugging them into industrial transformers.

“your instance” is where you made your account, so lemmy.world

take a breather and come back to it later, the place will still be here :)

a ps4, sorta.

this is gonna sound weird but giveaways used to be illegal here. there have been laws about lotteries since the 1300s, and in the 1700s the king decided that lotteries needed to have his personal stamp of approval or they were illegal. this has been changed and churned over the years but as it last stood, even temporary lotteries needed to have a license to operate from the local government. this also meant that only the state was allowed to run casinos. weird, i know. this only changed in 2019, at which point we got inundated with commercials for online casinos and the part of our healthcare system that deals with gambling addictions instantly collapsed.

anyway, to get around the need to seek a lottery license, giveaways usually had an “utslagsfråga”, an elimination question. this way the person managing the giveaway can show that there was some skill involved in the selection process, which makes it a contest and not a lottery. so technically i won a contest for a ps4, not a giveaway.

you’re thinking of the greeks. the norse gods were separate.

the days in english are from old norse, no?

• Sun’s day
• Moon’s day
• Tyr’s day
• Wodin’s day
• Thor’s day
• Freyr’s day
• Saturn’s day (okay that ones roman)

depends. it’s still an entire programming language.

that’s what the other side wants them to do, yes.

servers are probably to tightly integrated into ubi’s infra to publish but they don’t want to say that.

i think that’s just a fundamental problem with designing magic systems though. if you design it logically, it doesn’t feel like magic. if you design it by feel, it doesn’t make sense. if you want it to feel magic but still be tricky to learn, it becomes a mess.

in the context of minecraft mods there’s also not much you can do.

hex casting is stack-based and has lots of different blocks for doing different things. trickster is fully functional and has very few blocks, but isn’t as well balanced for use with other mods. at least i think that’s the case.
