Exactly - most game engines now will hide this rather than stutter.
Got an NVMe and a RAID array in my gaming desktop; the RAID does about 1 GB/s sustained read and write, which is good, but its latency is quite bad. Was playing Elden Ring directly from it since I couldn’t be bothered moving it - load times were good, but “fog doors” appear over doorways and cave entrances while they’re being loaded, which never happens on SSD. Never dropped a frame, though.
It isn’t a problem; mote has misunderstood the law.

“Illegal without good reason.” You are most definitely allowed to buy kitchen knives to take home with you; trying to take them into a football game will be frowned upon, though.
Police are usually fairly sensible about it. I’ve got friends that do medieval reenactment that have been stopped with cars full of longswords and crossbows. Show them your event tickets and some of your other gear, you’ll be waved on your way.
A three-inch blade is allowed provided it doesn’t lock in place; as long as it just folds away (like a swiss army knife) then it’s fine. Three-inch butterfly knife will get you in a lot of bother, though.
Flatpaks bring all their own libraries with them rather than using the system ones.
I think they have their place for apps that are under very heavy development, or for apps which are extremely “resource heavy” in comparison to the system resources that they use (by which I mean, games). I wouldn’t want my bread-and-butter system utilities to be flatpaks.
I’m no expert, but it looks like much of that damage is fire - the internal upholstery is lying in ashes at the bottom rather than being scattered, the paintwork is all burned off. I’m assuming he was badly hurt, but managed to pull himself (or was pulled out) of the vehicle before most of the damage happened.
Anyway - lying in ICU spending the last of his days in agonising, crispy condition sounds much worse than a quick death. There is some justice in the world.
Weight out 280g, wash it down with black coffee and a multivitamin, and that’s your dietary needs sorted for the day. Very time efficient.
There is no way you will regret your life decisions in a few days when you finally try to poop it out. “Living the same lifestyle as Elvis.”
Speaking as an Arch btw user, my socks match, thank you very much. How rude.
I’m a native speaker and quite likely to refer to them as windmills. Real windmills are basically museums now, everyone will know what you mean. Although the slightly coarsely-ground flour from the one near ours does make truly delicious bread.
For the love of God, Montresor!
Awesome work, flamingos-cant. Appreciate all you do for us.
Running an update in a background tab, forgetting about it, and closing my laptop lid mid-initramfs generation has caught me out a couple of times. Recoverable with a boot disk. Apart from that, Arch has been rock-solid on multiple machines for years for me. Recommend it to anyone.
One of my Polish colleagues, who otherwise speaks pretty perfect English, seems to choose he/she/it at random when putting sentences together. Which is fine for objects, but misleading for people. “I saw a friend yesterday and she said such-and-such” for a male friend, and so on.
Some people dual-boot to play games with anti-cheat that doesn’t work on Linux, so a recent “AAA multiplayer” release might skew the numbers for a bit as people boot Windows instead.
Linux installations are slightly higher in the US than in Europe, and much much higher than in China. The “use of Linux online” has a bit of a sinusoidal pattern every day depending on who’s awake. But a big Chinese release - Fallen Feathers, for example - will suppress the Linux percentage for a while as well.
Steam do publish the number of concurrent users as well, it should be possible to multiply through to get roughly the “absolute numbers” you want. I think they publish the numbers of players online for multiplayer games too, and since those are the games that Linux will be locked out of, it might be possible to point fingers at the specific games causing the problems?
Dark Souls also censored the letters ‘nig’ in the middle of any words. In a game where half the npcs are called ‘knight something’, your character would end up being called ‘k***ht character’.
The solution is to change your language, create your new character using your knowledge of what the menu items are, and change it back again once you’ve got a savefile. Top coding, there.
When I saw them on their recent tour, they had the Palestinian-Jordanian band 47SOUL as their warm-up act. They were absolutely superb, have had their stuff on rotation since, would recommend a listen to everyone. Plus listening to lots of Massive Attack as well, they were excellent as well.
More aerodynamic for the zoomies. You’ve fallen straight into their trap!
We don’t need Boris Johnstone back, no.
Question is, who is this a deterrent against? Only other nuclear powers.
Russia? We can just blow the shit out of them with conventional weapons, don’t need this.
China? We’d fucking lose, a hundred-fold. Only deterrent against China is a very strong Europe, so let’s get back to the table.
USA? These submarines carry their missiles, and they’ll just remote-disable the fucking things.
France? They’ve got more nukes than we do, and honestly I can’t see us ever being at war with them again.
Israel? Can’t see any global power actually taking them to task for their genocide.
Conclusion: useless. On the basis that they’re a stupidly expensive left-over from the cold war, might as well cancel it, invest half of the money into conventional boom, and pocket the rest.
He’s a patent clerk, which is alluded to in a couple of comics. Watterson thought it would be funnier when the joke is specific, and gave him the same job as his own father. Write what you know.
Yeah. I’ve got my home server set to install all security updates and restart Monday at 3 am; my first thought when seeing a two-month uptime on any of my machines is ‘whoops’, not ‘wow’.
Amazing uptimes are strictly for machines that aren’t connected to a network, and I’d start to be concerned whether they’d restart on eg. power failure if I started seeing really big numbers.
