used the word ornament, or an adjective to describe the balls
You say that as though testicles can’t be ornamental. (Or festive, sparkly, etc.)


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.’
—Terry Pratchett, Carpe Jugulum


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.
Who says you get a choice?
Maybe it was someone else impersonating you, or maybe you accidentally fell into a time portal, or were pushed. Whatever the case, the fact that you’ve already experienced the result proves that whatever you may try to avert it won’t work.
