Personally, if I was unhappy with your posts, I’d just shrug and then block you. Case closed :)

I had not heard of this book. I just read the interview, both parts, and I must say, I did not think it possible, but I think I love Nana Visitor even more now. I will definitly buy and read her book.

ATI Mach32 EISA. It looked to good on paper, but somehow, it did not make DOS go brrrrrr 😟

Lexx - The Dark Zone.

Pure Canadian-German Madness with a really great cast and the wildest stories ever. And what other show has a certified anti hero as starship captain?

To be honest, I thought that trailer was very weak. I am not sure it would make me pick up the game if it was free - and I loved the original VtM:BL.

Another theory is that people with children want you to have some, too, because they have no other topics available for discussion.

I’m in way over my head as it is. I can’t even imagine what it would be like having to be responsible for some gremlins, as well. We do not even dare get a cat (or two - you should always get two so they’re not lonely) for the same reason. Good thing my SO sees it exactly the same way. We’re both glad we didn’t have children.

I’m reasonably sure this is not entirely correct. My understanding is that a replicator works similar to a transporter, in that it turns pure energy into matter according to a known pattern.

This is what gcc 13.2.0 makes of it in Linux:

So basically just loading the string and calling ‘printf’ from the libc.

I hope you are not argueing that using assembly is an improvement over using C in that regard…

bc is 91 kilobytes and can work with seriously big numbers.

You want to know what 2^99812 is? bc will tell you. Hint: the result is so big I could not paste it in here. bc does not care, bc just delivers.

Not saying there is anything wrong with a GUI calculator using 103m of RAM and looking fancy while only working with tiny numbers, just saying.

Don’t hate me, but I like Cyberpunk 2077. It may have had its problems at launch, and I heard people were promised all kinds of stuff that was not delived, or was delivered only much later, but I never listen to hype anyway. I’ve played this for many hours. There are great mods for that game that make it even better, and it has such cool characters, such a fascinating world, good music, great design, the combat is fun… I love it.

No problem, I have got some prime rust inhibitor to sell you. Easy to apply and long lasting. Shame though, newly manufactured vehicles should not already rust.

The European commision sure wanted TTIP to happen, so there’s that.

because they sell cars to China

For how much longer? Can German cars even still compete with the Chinese, or has that ship sailed already? Come, buy the best engineering of yesteryear! Yay!

China heavily subsidizes EV manufacturers (and production in general), plus they have cheaper environmental and labour standards… it’s not like there’s a fair market EU companies can compete in without some sort of handicap.

Hah. Volkswagen is in trouble right now because they fucked up the transition to electric cars completly. What do you think will happen now? That’s right, we the (German) people will have to save them now, with our money. Basically the same shit as a subsidy, just later in the process. Kinda like what the Chinese do, just the really stupid way.

Oh, and of course, it will be everybody’s fault but their own.

STOP DOING C++

• Templates were not supposed to make your error messages explode into unrecognizable gibberish
• “Yes, please generate 5000 pages of garbage instead of an understandable error message!” - statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged

Look at what compilers have been demanding your respect for all this time:

???

They have played us for absolute fools.

Over my rotting, worm riddled carcas.

Nighr City is just so good!

There is this restaurant on a volcano on Lanzarote, in the “Parque Nacional de Timanfaya”, where they cook with the heat from the magma below. I am sure you could cook a pizza with that, as well.
