The first gym is rock, the second is water, the third is electric. Charmander has a really hard time in those first two matchups and only hits neutral in the third. At this stage of the game, it's really difficult to fill out your types because the wild Pokémon are largely birds, bugs, and rats.
If you're really lucky, you'll hit the extremely low encounter rate for Pikachu in Viridian Forest, and if you're even luckier, you'll catch one. But that only helps you against Misty.
In contrast, Bulbasaur is super effective against the first two gyms, and is merely neutral against Lt. Surge and his electric mice.
And by that point you've fed two whole gyms full of trainers and gym leaders into your Bulbasaur (by virtue of not having to constantly rotate through your back line just to survive).
Which means it can both take a beating and lay a smackdown in what is on its face a "neutral matchup".
After that point the game opens up dramatically and that initial advantage fades.
Oh. I think you're wrong on that last point.
You can now (on June 5th) very easily play most PC games on the Switch 2.
Do you remember Halo Wars?
Do you remember Starcraft 64?
This was a clever cash grab, an attempt to tap into entire genres that just would not have translated otherwise.
OH SHIT I JUST REALIZED MARIO PAINT IS COMING BACK
It was a perfect storm of unpatchable hardware exploit and games releasing in parallel on hardware that was already solved. We might be waiting a while on the Switch 2.
I'm about 50/50 on this being sarcasm. I'll risk ruining the joke by saying:
It's simulated 3D sound, meaning no special hardware is required. Youtube plus headphones would be a good demonstration.
Huh, it's Russian? That's to your point about them hiding it I guess.
The Excel part looked flawless, a closer match than I've seen, but I didn't get into any of the advanced features. PowerPoint and Word documents also retained full formatting when opening documents authored in the official platforms.
Hornet uses a similar signature verification scheme similar to that of kernel modules. A pkcs#7 signature is appended to the end of an executable file. During an invocation of bpf_prog_load, the signature is fetched from the current task's executable file. That signature is used to verify the integrity of the bpf instructions and maps which where passed into the kernel. Additionally, Hornet implicitly trusts any programs which where loaded from inside kernel rather than userspace, which allows BPF_PRELOAD programs along with outputs for BPF_SYSCALL programs to run.
So this is to make kernel-level instructions from userspace (something that's already happening) more secure.
The thread linked by the OP is Jarkko Sakkinen (kernel maintainer) seemingly saying "show your work, your patch is full of nonsense" in a patch submitted for review to the Linux kernel.
Edit: the OP has edited the link, it used to point to this comment in the mailing list chain.
Well that looks absolutely excellent. I love the books.
I did not expect to be this excited about The Rise And Fall of Sanctuary Moon.
