Was making a joke with you, about how much the Russian army loses in corruption and how their prices are not to be believed. Wasn't having a go at you. Try to be a bit more chill?
By the time £3.999m has been siphoned off on bribes and corruptionnecessary overheads, you should be happy with the coathanger and a car battery, comrade.
Yeah, they can fuck off with trying to blame their problems on drivers refusing to work overtime, as if being on a reasonable-but-not-exceptional wage is somehow the root cause. Drivers need to be sharp - they're responsible for a lot of people's safety! - and I'd prefer they did no overtime at all thank you. Perhaps twenty years of underinvestment following privitisation might be more the problem here, eh?
Train strikes have caused me a bit of disruption over the summer, but that is exactly the point of them going on strike. Keep laying into the bastards and make sure that we've got the safe service that we need. 100% behind you all the way.
Can also recommend Just For Fun - that Finnish sense of humour doesn't come across well, and while he's good with English he certainly isn't Shakespeare, but it does fly by.
History of Linux, abridged: Linus was using Minix on his own PC while at University, but was a bit fed up with its networking capabilities, so he'd written a toy operating system for a couple of his classes. While experimenting with adding features to it, he deleted his Minix partition by accident. Might as well continue with the one he'd written, since it was almost capable enough to be a daily driver. Publish the source, get a few collaborators in to add in the features that they found most useful, repeat. Boom.
Remove the update manager? Remove the bootloader and all kernels if you want to - you might if you're preparing a container image, it won't stop you. Remove glibc and init? Fine, if that's what you want - might have no need for those if you're prepping it up for embedded.
The price of having a computer that does exactly what it's told is that you have to know what to tell it. But that's well worth while.
I'm a big fan of those games, and I really enjoyed HUNTDOWN. It's a shooting platformer, more Contra than anything on your list, but is good times and has top choons to listen to while you're playing.
Cool, will have a look at those, thanks! More looking to impress with my knowledge of using a variety of bugtrackers; have got plenty of evidence to show that there's a couple I know how to use.
It would still be a fun little puzzler, but it's very much a single-note satire, and a lot of it would come off as "lol random" rather than taking the piss out of The Witness. Which is also brilliant, love them both.
It's supposed to enable raytracing features on AMD, isn't it? I suspect it's going to be something that I switch on, decide that I need several generations of card updates, and then switch off again. The example video I saw of slightly better-looking bricks in the wall (ie. self-shadowing correctly) in Elden Ring would absolutely not be worth cutting my framerate in half, it would be unplayable.
Release notes, innit? For a very technical new feature; that seems enough. If it was a bug, then maybe a line about how we missed it; if it's user facing, what new functionality it enables. You can always go look at the PR if you want the real detail.
Yeah - pure functions and immutable data aren't always the right answer, but appreciating that they're damn good most of the time is a good first step. Writing obvious code that does exactly what it appears to do at first glance and not one thing more? Your colleagues will thank you when they have to work with your stuff.
My last upgrade was from a GTX1070 to a 6700XT. That was both a big performance upgrade, and a massive "not having to fuck about" upgrade.
It's not like it's colossally difficult to install Linux, install the build-essentials, download the latest NVidia driver, stop your window manager, run the shell installer remembering to select the x86 packages for compatibility, disable Nouveau, and restart (repeat when there's updates). But compared to keeping AMD up-to-date, which is just 'install Linux and let your package manager handle it', then it's much more time consuming and prone to error.
I've also been having less graphics glitch issues, but whether that's the driver change, or whether that's the fact that Linux has been getting much much better at everything related to gaming this last few years
The side channel resistance includes such matters as ensuring that the cypher takes the same amount of time, regardless of the key, but also such super-sneaky insights as the amount of power used to run the cypher, which can be measured from the CPU temperature. Every bit of the cypher that you can be sure of makes it easier to guess the rest. And even if you coded this algorithm in assembly, the CPU will interpret it as microcode and run that, potentially leaving you vulnerable - this is not straightforward stuff.
Like vzq says, implementing this properly is for a cross-disciplinary team of experts in their fields.
Yeah. Dark Souls 'as released' was limited to 30fps and was upscaled from 720p. Durante's DSFix patch nearly sorted it out; there was a couple of ladders that you needed to switch it off for, otherwise you'd fall through the world, and some rolling over logs in Blighttown was a bit dodgy. Otherwise, completely playable and graphically good.
Remastered fixes that; the flame effect on torches is different, and the framerate is a bit more stable when it could be dodgy before. (Fighting Sif, for some reason.) It doesn't redo all the rushed sections after Sumo + Stringbean to match the concept art, so Izalith and the Tomb of G's are just as 'good' as ever, and Gwyn is still stupidly weak to parrying and magic.
If you've never played Dark Souls 1, then obviously this is the version to buy, but still unreasonably pricy for its age. The first 3/4 of this game is DS perfection. DS3 is the most polished and has the best bosses; DS2 has the best DLC and multiplayer, and I find it the most fun to replay as so many builds are viable. DS1 has the best world design and atmosphere by far, though.
No, it really is that simple. I've got Cinnamon installed since I prefer it for everyday; also, Gnome3 on Wayland for gaming (I've three monitors with different refresh rates, which doesn't work as you'd hope on X11). Log out, change desktop, log in again. No problems at all, except for more packages to update.

But I hear that Everard's Black Tentacles are free to be much naughtier?
