As long as the kernel keeps supporting loading and executing processes with 32-bit code, they don’t even need to go that far. There shouldn’t be much stopping Valve from just supplying libraries themselves inside a container. In fact, that’s what the Steam Linux Runtime “Sniper” does.
“They were GOING to commit crimes”
That feeling when The Minority Report in real life is still about crime “prediction”, but with the title taken more literally and any capital "R"s replaced with "D"s
We already have MMU for Memory Management Unit. Maybe Matrix Multiplication Accelerator instead?
Yes. Only in fantasy land. As Logi above said, nuclear detonation is an extremely precise, controlled process that has very specific conditions to achieve successfully. Even an actual fission bomb only manages to consume a fraction of the radioactive material.
The only thing someone would achieve by denotating a conventional explosive near a reactor or nuclear stockpile is spreading highly radioactive dust around. That does not nor will ever look like uncontrolled nuclear fission, let alone a detonation from a thermonuclear warhead.
Nintendo: “hold my beer”
Game key cards are the stupidest idea I have seen in a long time.
std::string doesn’t have a template type for the allocator. You are stuck using the verbose basic_string type if you need a special allocator.
But, of course, nobody sane would write that by hand every time. They would use a typedef, like how std::string is just a typedef for std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char>>. Regardless, the C++ standard library is insanely verbose when you start dropping down into template types and using features at an intermediate level. SFINAE in older versions of C++ was mindfuck on the best of days, for example.
Don’t get me wrong, though. I’m not saying Rust is much better. Its saving grace is its type inference in let expressions. Without it, chaining functional operations on iterators would be an unfathomable hellscape of Collect<Skip<Map<vec::Iter<Item = &'a str>>>>
TypeScript […] only adds syntax, and doesn’t re-write it.
I believe enum, const enum, and decorators would like to have a word with you.
Swift also uses backticks and Rust has a dumb one in the form of r. Still much better than introducing a async as a new keyword in a minor version of a language and breaking a bunch of libraries.
Rust is verbose, but C++ might still take the cake with its standard library templates. Especially when using fully-qualified type names…
auto a = ::std::make_shared<::std::basic_string<char, ::std::char_traits<char>, MyAllocator<char>>>();
A reference-counted shared pointer to a string of unspecified character encoding and using a non-default memory allocator.
This means either them or more junior developers will be brought in as glorified prompt engineers.
Oh, sweet summer child. It’s not going to be junior developers; they still have self-worth. An un(der)paid intern or outsourced contractors, however? They’re fine working for scraps and no health insurance.
Shedd, whose professional career was largely spent as a software integration engineering manager at Tesla before being tapped to head the TTS, came to the government with AI top of mind. He reportedly wants GSA to operate like a software startup
Last I checked, startup culture involved burning money to market and sell a “revolutionary” idea, with the end goal being to get purchased by a bigger player in the industry and walking away with a wad of cash.
It kind of puts 2025 into perspective if you look at it that way.
MAGA don’t have goalposts. They have sticks with little flags that they move around whenever the locations aren’t convenient enough.
Nah, only the politicians folded. A bunch of people said they would still show up.

Which was posted 7 minutes before zapzap’s comment. 29 minutes before that, it was announced that No Kings protest fliers were found in the car. (Source)
With the information available at that time, it would be fair to say that someone could infer the guy to be a violent nutcase with strong views against progressive politics. And as the old saying goes: if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck…
we are an apolitical, non-partisan organization
Sure, and I’m Bob Ross.
Cheering it on. To them, it’s only tyranny if it’s the woke commies ruling with an iron fist.
The magic cable typically goes into ISP-owned hardware sitting in a box somewhere down the street. From there, it’s either converted into fiber optic signals or repeated until it reaches an ISP-owned building where the data can be exchanged with the wider internet.
How does so much data go through a single-pin coax cable?
It uses multiple channels (frequency ranges) in parallel, bonding (combining) them to increase throughput.
A surprising amount of bandwidth can be achieved this way. DOCSIS 4.0 can do 10 gigabits per second in download and 6 gigabits per second in upload.
Linux isn’t derived from Unix, just originally based on it. The BSDs and Darwin (Mac) would be the unfortunate casualties, but at least most of the country won’t be stuck with Windows?
Edit: And, I guess, Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4/5. The former “borrowed” the networking stack from OpenBSD, and the latter are based on some BSD variant if I recall correctly.
