He didn't even make it through the acceptance speech 🤦‍♀️

That's a valid opinion. That they're using it to mean "figuratively" is not.

I didn't say your statement was pedantic. Just that you specifically called out your use of literally as not used in a figurative sense and that this thread in general is about pedantry. Those two things together made it seem not totally insufferable to point out that literal was actually being applied to figurative language.

Just because you called it out and this is a thread about pedantry: road rage is an idiomatic phrase, which is a type of figurative language. So, you were using literally to emphasize figurative language rather than try to clarify you weren't using the idiomatic meaning of the phrase but rather a literal.

Yeah. Dictionaries reflect popular usage. And I think literally has probably been in use in that sense nearly as long as it's been used to mean something really did happen that way.

People who think anyone uses literally to mean figuratively are annoying and too caught up in their crusade to realize their take is idiotic. No one uses it to mean figuratively. People use it to emphasize regardless of the figurative nature of language. It's semantic drift that happens to most words that mean something similar to "in actuality" (e.g. really, actually). Even in other languages.

Essentially no one has crowdstrike on their personal machines. Not Windows users, Mac users, or Linux users. So it's corporate/large organization culture that matters. And they absolutely use it.

Because in Ohio, they're all that uncle in the red hat. That's the point they were trying to make.

I'm used to IT doing a lot of their work on the weekends as to not impact operations.

Or the 7 day week if you're in IT.

No, because CrowdStrike didn't bork the drivers for those systems. They could have, though.

Why is it bad to do on a Friday? Based on your last paragraph, I would have thought Friday is probably the best week day to do it.

I wonder if it's something like 25% of survey respondents are just picking the most outrageous thing and 5% actually believe that way. I remember a while ago on a survey about being ok with political violence, they tried to control for that kind of thing and it dropped the numbers a lot.

If it's still the equivalent of gate level, even if those gates are expressed with words rather than placing each block, it's still a slog. To get beyond gate-level, I think you'd need to write your own HDL and/or synthesis tool for minecraft redstone, which seems even deeper than what most people developing real digital logic do.

Like, I just write verilog and synopsys handles it well enough for my physical design team to have a good starting point.

They show how to make a NAND, NOR, and XOR gate. And all you really need for functional completeness is the NAND.

This just doesn't have the semi-analog stuff like DRAM.

But if I had to do my digital design at the gate level for anything more than like an adder, I'd be pretty over it pretty quickly.

That goes on to explain in detail why my first sentence makes the second sentence true, especially for democrats and California.

President and VP can't be from the same state. More precisely, electors can't vote for both a president and VP from the same state as themselves.

They don't have to do anything. But they are.

Republicans are already blaming that rhetoric for the assassination attempt. So democrats are going to tone that kind of messaging way down for fear of inciting more political violence.

At 20, 3 years is definitely a long time.
