No, we should see that they are made illegal.

Move away from port 22, and 90% vanishes. Move it up to a port in the five digit range, and you will rarely see them.

Just wait until the Chinese cut off basic industrial inputs like chemicals, screws, nails, electronic parts.

For some time I used Minecraft as a mindnumbing tool. I dug a huge underground structure with stone pickaxes. I had some chests of wood down there to make new pickaxes, chests, and torches, and dug an underground space of several square kilometers, 30ish layers high.

That might be true. For party games or Animal Crossing, the Switch is still the top choice. For the non-casual gamer, though, it is way to limited.

We will see. The big advantage of the SD is the ginormus library of games that already exist, the advantage of the S2 is that they have the Nintendo exclusive titles that have a good and solid fan base. With the S1, it was a no-brainer, the other consoles were limited in their game selection with a small hand of exclusives, and they were more expensive than the S1. The S2 is not far from the SD in terms of price. So this time, there actually is competition.

I’m at Hetzner für 10-15 years now.

The key problem for the Switch 2 will be to compete with the Steam Deck. While a good Steam Deck is still a bit pricier, there are a myriad of titles, and the vast majority of them are much cheaper than the 70-90 price point targeted by Nintendo.

Bonus: It might make some companies move to non-US hosters, making their data way safer.

I’ve heard it being a bit snobbish and outdated, despite having newer editions, but I will look into it. Thanks for the tip.

Thanks. I think it is quite well made, and I would love authors read this before they hand in their manuscripts…

A question from a non-native speaker: Is there a definitve guide on American punctuation somewhere? I always wonder about American use of punctuation inside single quotes when quoting a term instead of a sentence, and some other cases where I see different intepretations of punctuation.

So this is how he tries to escape problems with his banks. Lets see how xAI is rated as collateral for his credits.

I did such a thing, but I had a big advantage: the codebase had been done by people who had never really learned to code, and I was a seasoned programmer with 20 years of experience.

Having worked in the field and having seen my fair share of supposedly “true” random numbers, I would really like to see how they would proof this bold claim.

You are either naive or new to this planet. If you tell industry that this or that thing is voluntary, it will definitely not happen. There must be thousands of examples out there. “Voluntary” regulation never worked on this planet.

If you want industry to do something, there is the stupid way of bribing them into it, and the smart way of simply forcing them to comply. If you do the latter, they will still squirm, complain, and demand money (loads of money!) to follow the law. If you forgot to define fines for non-compliance or made them too small, they won’t follow the law, either, of course, so the fines have to be painful enough so they can’t just file them away as “costs of doing business”.

And Erdogans own degree is supposed to be questionable, too.

I looked up what a “shape tool” is supposed to do. How about using better tools for this, like Inkscape, export as pixel file (png or whatever), and import it into GIMP?

Well, it is their money they are burning. Good luck with that.

I use GIMP only for the simple pixel stuff, and I hope they did not make basic operations even more complicated. I always struggle to get some basic things done just because there are myriads of for me useless and arcane settings.
