The first 3 are why I can’t get any work done anymore. The last 3 I would absolutely love to have more time to do.

It’s actually a great game. But it’s Eurojank to the extereme. If you want a superior experience, play Gothic 2. But it’s still janky, just not as bad as Gothic 1. Gothic 3 I didn’t like at all.
I wasn’t able to get past the donate to Obama phase.
Where is the ctrl+alt+del function defined? I just want to see what made that sequence work. I’d also be interested in where ctrl+break is defined.
Descent 3 was probably the weakest in the series, but it also spawned Descent: Freespace and the best space sim since wing commander, Freespace2 which is fucking amazing. I think it is still opensource but there was some interplay fuckery about it that I don’t remember.
I assume this is just to get people use to the idea of algebra.
Excellent comment.
That’s not reasonable at all. The purpose of time is to help organize society across distance. The purpose of states/countries/administrative districts is to help organize society within a similar geographical region. It is entirely reasonable for timezones to conform to political boundaries.
In general integer division is implemented using a form of long division, in binary.
The point of my comment is that division in binary IS bitshifting. There is no other way to do it if you want the real answer. You can estimate, you can round, but the computational method of division is done via bitshifting of binarary expansions of numbers in an ALU.
Base 10 is a completely subjective concept as well. Why 10? Why not 12?
As far as those “subjective” concepts you are poorly satirizing, the reason they exist is because they are human-centric. 100f is “roughly” the temperature of the human body. A cup is roughly the size of your fist, etc. That is the value, not “the only thing” but THE THING. It is the reason the units exist!
A meter could just as easily be the length of my dick and a kilogram the weight of me balls, then we could create a whole system out of it and relate to all sorts of other arbitrary measurements based on water or an ideal hydrogen atom or the exact amount of time a carbon crystal oscillates in one rotation of the earth, or whatever. But all of those are so divorced from human’s, you know the people who this measurement system is ostensibly for, as to be 100% arbitrary. Why do I care how long it takes light to travel from the moon and back, when I just want to buy a rope that I can use to tie my mule to a fence post out of range of my garden? I paced off 25 feet, so I’ll take that length of rope please.
No I don’t know what 833cm is. Please just give me 25feet.
While humor is subjective, being wantonly ignorant isn’t very funny, it’s sad.
interesting, so does the computer have a special “base 10” ALU that somehow implements division without bit shifting?
The best tool for the job isn’t ever metric ironically enough.
You literally have no idea why measurement units exist do you?
Metric is intuitive, but also shit. Just because you have 10 fingers doesn’t mean you should formulate a measurement system out of it. In fact if you actually give a shit about intuitiveness you’d go back to the American system which is roughly base 12 and therefore easier for division and manual estimations.
Hey how is “bit shifting” different then division? (The answer may surprise you).
Yes another person who doesn’t understand why the metric system sucks. American’s (fuck yea) use only useful and descriptive units, so obviously MiB, KiB, GiB, etc. because who cares what the closest rounded Ten’s digit is? The computer world deals in Bits.
I use Kb, Mb, Gb, in my world (networking). And MiB GiB and TiB when I want to know the actual size something is.
This type of resume isn’t for the tools, it’s for the humans who glance at the resume before the interview.

I’m a network engineer and I run ipv6 natively in all of our datacenters. There are even a handful of end systems that have ipv6 native networking stacks with ipv4 sockets for our non-ipv6 compatible applications. IPv6 issues are basically self-inflicted at this point by companies that see their IT systems as cost centers, or by basilisk directors who’s knowledge stopped in the 90’s.
