If it happens like the Great Dying it will affect our distant descendants - nobody knows exactly how long the onset took, but the general estimate is between 8,000 and 100,000 years. Not a reason to put off doing anything about it, it just means a lot of other things will happen first.

Another Kirk POV: Watching a Beastie Boys song destroy a fleet of alien vessels… Realizing you were playing the same song when you drove your big brother’s Corvette off a cliff as a kid.

Unpopular opinion but hear me out - doesn’t a nice bowl of ticks go great with iced tea on a hot day?

I’m probably remembering it wrong, it was a long time ago. It definitely always either won or tied but could never lose, because it knew the right responses to every move. No, it didn’t cheat lol.

This reminds me of one of my very first programs, a tic-tac-toe game I wrote in high school. It displayed hardcoded grids of Xs and Os and blanks very similar to what’s shown here. This approach worked because of the much more limited move possibilities. The program could always win if it made the first move, and always win or tie if the human moved first, depending on if the human made mistakes. I wish I still had the code.

Overall I’d say pretty accurate.

The Mahdi is Marklar. We are all Marklar.

The Emissary turned me into a NEWT!

Yes. Yes it was.

Quick computation for Seattle, powering a typical laptop consuming 20W to run say an IoT server, 24/7 at 14 cents/kwh would cost about $25/year. A Pi 4 would be about 1/10th of that.

You can control nerf turrets as-is. My dev manager wrote a script to read the build mail and make his nerf turret shoot a volley of darts into the cubicle of whoever broke the build. And that was 15 years ago.

True dat! If you’re around Seattle check out RePC.

Soppozuuuuuuuuuu !!!

If somebody says it costs $5000/mo, how could they say it in a different way that you would define as “transparent” - do you want receipts?

Yeah this is about the comprehension level I’d expect from a typical Comm major lol.

Nowadays I tend to only donate to projects that have full transparency on what the money is being used for.

If you believe he’s spending $5k/mo to run the server, even if you send him $20 and he blows it on blackjack and hookers, it means he has to spend $20 of his bj/h money on the server. So I don’t really see an issue. Does that make sense?

The expense of running busy servers is too much to expect of anyone. I haven’t even tried to figure out how the math would work but I wonder if the ultimate solution could be more of a BitTorrent architecture where the “server” is a hive of users’ computers all sharing the load? I’m a software developer but have never worked on anything in that area, but since BitTorrent works it certainly seems feasible. Comments?
