I think the most obvious example is loop unrolling. An unrolled loop can be many times more code, but runs faster because you’re not updating a counter or doing conditional jumps.

The former is typical of British RP, and the latter is found in General American (though it varies regionally). So it really just depends on who you’re taking to.

To your questions, I would use “German” and “mispronunciation”.

I’m sufficiently unfamiliar with New York that I had to look it up, but Rochester and Tribeca appear to be at opposite ends of the state and are presumably not served by the same physical Target store. Displaying the actual price at a location near you seems completely reasonable to me, if that’s what they’re doing.

But yes, there should be a mandate to explain what data is being used and how.

Not enough. Omega, ADoM, Angband, Crawl, and Nethack are roguelikes. Nearly every game mentioned in this article is a roguelite.

You sound pretty sure about that.

Similar for me. I switched back in May of last year intending to dual boot as necessary until Win10 EoL, and it turned out it was never necessary.

The main thing anchoring me to Windows was gaming, and, despite hearing about it, I didn’t really understand just how good Wine had gotten since I last used it.

I just learned the other day that “Roman dodecahedron” is a bit of a misnomer: They’re mostly from Britain and Gaul, and none have ever been found in Italy. So Celtic or Romano-Celtic would be more accurate descriptors.

Yeah, the film winds up coming off as campy or even outright silly as the weirdness cranks up. The manga is still incredibly weird, but manages to hold the creepy tone better. Probably mostly due to what you can get away with in drawings vs live action; the screen adaptation probably would have been better as anime.

I propose “orphanware” for that subset of abandonware that has no clear owner.

Consistent with the broader term “orphan work”.

I imagine you could do something entertaining with that premise, in a Typing of the Dead sort of way.

The blunt angles and steel doors look futuristic, for sure

Do they, though? It’s always looked to me like something from the background of a PS1 game, intended to give the impression of a moving vehicle but never seen close up.

‘There’s no greys, only white that’s got grubby. I’m surprised you don’t know that. And sin, young man, is when you treat people as things. Including yourself. That’s what sin is.’
‘It’s a lot more complicated than that—’
‘No. It ain’t. When people say things are a lot more complicated than that, they means they’re getting worried that they won’t like the truth. People as things, that’s where it starts.’

I actually prefer the Costco store brand grass-fed butter to Kerry Gold.

Arthur is an animated TV series based on a series of children’s books about an anthropomorphic aardvark. D.W. is the eponymous character’s little sister.

Just because something isn’t a law of the universe doesn’t mean it isn’t real. English is an essentially arbitrary set of rules and sounds, yet I am using it to transport my thoughts into your head, where if I used my own fake words instead we’d glarf bort tinp ko esag.

Or, more on point, there’s a world of difference between “won’t necessarily protect you” and “definitely won’t protect you”, where sovereign citizen bullshit is squarely in the latter category.

Newfoundland really wishing they hadn’t closed their orange juice factory right now.

I honestly don’t know how nh works under the hood, but it does seem to do concurrent builds, so it’s probably something like that.

nix flake update
nix flake check --no-build
git commit -a
nh os switch

Is the routine I’ve settled into. Flake update because I use flakes, flake check because it’s easier to see any warnings about deprecated options and the like so I can fix them preemptively, git commit after the check to avoid back-to back commits where the second is fixing some issue with the first, and nh because I like the pretty dependency graph and progress bar.

In my experience running the Windows version of the mod manager in the same prefix as the game also works.

I’ve been on NixOS for a little over a year, and have been absolutely delighted at how well gaming works now. I initially thought I would dual boot until Windows 10 EoL, but have had no reason to use Windows in that time and a couple months ago I converted my storage disk from ntfs to ext4.

Steam is nearly seamless; there have been one or two titles where I’ve had to switch the Proton version to experimental or GE, but nothing more than that. Heroic and Lutris have been similarly easy for non-Steam games. There has been nothing that I have tried to play that hasn’t worked, but I don’t play multiplayer games so YMMV there.

That said, this is not my first rodeo with Linux. I used it extensively in the late '00s and early '10s, which probably helped to sand some of the rough edges off of my recent experience. Though back then wine was not really suitable for gaming. I also have an AMD GPU, which I understand has an easier setup process than Nvidia. (I literally haven’t had to think about graphics drivers at all.)
