That’s not an apt comparison.

More like “we’ll have flying cars 50 years from now.”

If it “makes me feel better”, fine.

If it “makes it so I’m not contagious and won’t give you Covid”, no.

It’s an unnecessary folder if you’re running 64-bit.

It makes more sense when I dug into it more deeply, but still—gave me a chuckle.

This is unrelated to this topic exactly, but I don’t know what OpenTofu is nor what it is for, so I looked at the FAQ.

What is OpenTofu?

OpenTofu is a Terraform fork, created as an initiative of Gruntwork, Spacelift, Harness, Env0, Scalr, and others, in response to HashiCorp’s switch from an open-source license to the BUSL. The initiative has many supporters, all of whom are listed here.

This is practically a meme…I have no idea what all of these are (coming from my area of expertise).

He was most certainly being sarcastic.

Personally, I think it tastes like dumpster juice. I’ve never tasted dumpster juice, but I’m convinced.

If it’s at an Internet cafe where everyone is in attendance, I seriously strongly suggest “The Ship”. In my experience, probably the ultimate LAN game. Screen peeking allowed but not encouraged.

The game is effectively a game of assassin—but you have to upkeep your player’s needs (food/water/shower/bathroom/sleep). Your character needing to take a shit is stressful—very often you begin the process only to have your murderer pop open the door with a fire axe.

It used to have a “viral” gift copy thing on Steam where 1 purchased copy generated 2 gift copies and those copies generated 1 copy each. So in theory, you could only require 3 copies for 15 of you if that’s still active.

You are not alone in this.

Prior to discord I’d get maybe a bug report/month. After, about 1/day.

Simply put, the barrier to entry is huge.

However, documentation on Discord (other than simple end-user instructions/links to git readmes) is sort of stupid.

Looks like somebody rewrote json to require brackets around keys and to require semicolons? Very likely custom.

I don’t (generally) sail the high seas, but I’m surprised that people don’t use SysInternals tooling on windows. Of note:

• ProcExp - A way better process explorer and has a built-in VirusTotal scanner for all running processes. 100 times better than standard process explorer. This in combination with windows defender is nearly always enough.

• AutoRuns - A tool to see what automatically runs on your system. Included image hijacks and such. This is for handling potential post-infection scenarios.

I mean, I am on board with that. There probably isn’t free will.

But, we should continue to jail those not following society’s rules. If we could jail hurricanes so as to not cause damage, we would—why is jailing a person any different?

The game is definitely not for everyone, but ProsperousUniverse kind of stands alone when it comes to people’s descriptions of niches/genres.

The game is an economy/real-time MMO with no real PvP. “Real-time” not like an RTS but as in “this operation takes many hours or days” and everyone has that same time burden.

It’s a game where planning far outperforms “always online” gameplay, so people end up learning spreadsheet software to optimize everything for themselves.

In addition, the UI is modular like a Bloomberg terminal, so it feels right—you feel like a trader.

…did you not read the article?

Tabs for indentation/increased scope, spaces for alignment. The best answer.

The reason is because a programmer at some point decide that & should indicate the start of a special symbol in HTML. In programming parlance this is a means of “escaping” characters which are reserved.

For example, in HTML, things look something like this:

<p>Hello, World!</p>

The p in the less than and greater symbol symbols means “paragraph” where the ending version with the slash means “the paragraph is done”.

However, there’s a problem. What if you wanted to actually type out <p> to the end-user and have it not be treated as HTML? You use the ampersand syntax to write < by using < and > by using >.

</p><p>&lt;p></p>

Yet another problem: If we use & as a special character in HTML, we also need a way to display it—the answer is &

Serious question: Is “Directed Acyclical Graph” really an unknown term for people? The author harped on it pretty hard, but what it is…is pretty apparent, no? I mean, I’ve encountered the term often, but I don’t think I had any need to look it up…

You could try ProsperousUniverse. It’s more of a game you play while you play others, but definitely a “wait, I spent 18 hours on a spreadsheet?” type of game.
