  • Halon was invented to save expensive electronics in server rooms from water damage. It's actually deadly to people if you're trapped in a room with it.

    I hate that these are our priorities.

  • Also where TF you buying $8.99 pink dress, socks, AND hair dye? Thrift store?

  • It took a while as a guitarist/keyboard player just learning and starting out to realize how fundamental it is. I kept trying to turn up the low end of things in the mixer in my software to compensate without realizing what I was missing.

  • Me at 14 trying to recreate my favorite palm-muted metal strumming patterns from songs I know: "what the hell why does their shit sound so good and thumping and my shit sounds like AM radio static in a tin can?"

    Me, many many years later: "BASS! IT WAS ALL MISSING THE FUCKING BASS!"

  • Unless my 5th grade kid had a kid, no. You're just getting old. Alpha's been with us for a while now.

    The marker is supposedly anyone born entirely within the 21st century and living in a world that's connected to the internet 24/7 since birth. The "iPad kids".

  • I remember seeing this fucking thing running during the Bush years, and we were arguing over 5 trillion. Crazy to look at now.

  • There are specific terms for what you're talking about already. AI is all the ML algorithms that we are integrating into daily life, and AGI is human-level AI able to create it's own subjective experience.

  • remap advertising billboards into whatever you wanted.

    puts on glasses

    OBEY.

    CONSUME.

  • Too soon, dude.

    RIP 737 Door Plug.

  • About 260 if you don't count the function reference at the back. There sure wasn't much to it back then. Compared to the monster that is C++. I can maybe see why Linus doesn't like it and prefers C. There's a hundred different ways to do one thing, and it could get out of hand, and there's a lot of complex stuff in the libraries that you're dependent on. For low-level programming it's basically like "trust me, bro".

    It's great for me though that can't program worth a shit and have all the algorithms ready to go.

  • Nice! I picked up a good classic myself at a thrift store a couple months ago.

    I like one of the first lines in the first chapter: "The only way to learn a new programming language is by writing programs in it."

  • Security cat is watching you hax...

  • TimeSquirrel slaps gila around a bit with a large trout.

  • I hate that the headline made me think of actual, physical lights.

  • I forgot he blew up in the last couple years. Been watching his channel since it wasn't very well known.
