You get the snoot AND the boots? I call that an absolute win!

I’ve interviewed a candidate that created dozens of GH projects, each one just being a list of tools for various topics. So they’d have “Programming tools”, “Security”, “Databases”, etc. They may have thought that on the surface it would show them as a well-rounded candidate, but if you dug into it, it was just that - a set of lists. Even AI generated slop that gets churned out by the dozens these days has more content than those projects did. Even worse, when asked about their experience with the tools, the candidate couldn’t give a useful response. It was like asking about the Donner Party and getting an answer about birthday parties.

I have my SD docked into a 4k monitor most of the time, and I can tell you with certainty that some games will struggle at 4k on the SD. You can still use the 4k monitor for them, just play at a lower resolution.

A repo per project is not necessarily bad. However, don’t create five dozen documentation projects, each of which is just a list of references. That’s padding, and it’ll be really obvious and annoying.

Work laptop or personal laptop?

If it’s a work-supplied laptop then it’s their device, and you should not use it for personal stuff. Always assume that company-supplied devices are monitored. Having said that, IT won’t sit there watching your every move, but they will care if you watch porn or download torrents.

If it’s a personal laptop then they can go pound salt.

In one where it’s the least expensive MCU show.

Well it wasn’t so much paranoia as obsession. The person who found it wasn’t paranoid, they just went “Why is my connection taking a quarter of a second longer than it used to? This is unacceptable!!!”

I just use the Minotaur for sentinels. Sure, the camera sucks, but the cannon melts them like butter, I got extra armor, jump jets, and don’t have to worry about weather.

Each tool type has different strengths, with varying bonuses to mining, scanning, and damage. Personally I prefer to have two multi tools, one for exploring and one for combat. This makes it easier to cycle the modes reliably, because I only switch between 2-3 on each tool instead of 6 in a single tool.

However unless you’re trying to minmax any one feature you can go with whatever tool you like. It’s not going to be the end of the world to use a pistol for damage or a rifle for mining.

Did you forget to include the motherboard in the estimate?

Off the commercial off the shelf “smart” TVs available, I started by looking at the OSes available. Choices were Roku, webOS, Tizen, and Google TV. I immediately ruled out Roku because of their recent changes to terms&conditions. webOS is pretty much limited to LG TVs, and I had bad experiences with LG warranties, so I ruled that out. Tizen (Samsung) was out for similar reasons, so that left me with Google TV. It’s… OK. Doesn’t require Internet connection to work, and doesn’t nag me about it. And it came with a hardware switch to turn off the microphone. Not sure if that’s a brand thing (Hisense) or applicable to all Google TV devices, but was reassuring.

It’s probably 4 or 8 GB actual RAM, with the rest being effectively swap.

Add Horacio Quiroga to make it a trifecta.

Does registry still have that problem of making it practically impossible to do garbage collection on old images?

Not a stupid question at all. Here’s the Wikipedia article for it. The significant part is this:

The 5-dimensional discs [have] tiny patterns printed on 3 layers within the discs. Depending on the angle they are viewed from, these patterns can look completely different. This may sound like science fiction, but it’s basically a really fancy optical illusion. In this case, the 5 dimensions inside of the discs are the size and orientation in relation to the 3-dimensional position of the nanostructures. The concept of being 5-dimensional means that one disc has several different images depending on the angle that one views it from, and the magnification of the microscope used to view it. Basically, each disc has multiple layers of micro and macro level images.

Moore’s law is about circuit density, not about storage, so the premise is invalidated in the first place.

There is research being done into 5D storage crystals, where a disc can theoretically hold up to 360TB of data, but don’t hold your breath about them being available soon.

That’s uBlock Origin Lite, which the developer already stated is grossly inadequate for ad blocking.

It’s not exactly R rated, but Gideon the Ninth (and its sequels) don’t shy away from gore and raunchy language.
