What about goats in circular pens? A goat is tied to the fence of a circular pen. How long does the rope need to be so that the goat can reach exactly half of the pen’s area? What sounds like a high school math problem was eventually solved in 2020 via complex analysis.
Here’s the answer:
As a union member, yes.
Unless you’re talking about the exit code of a computer program. Then coming up zero is a good thing.
They’re a marching band, I presume?

Absolutely no one should respect a billionaire who fucks over others to slightly see her numbers go up. She didn’t need that money from cheating, but she did it anyways and fucked over everyone else.
To add some concrete numbers. Martha Stewart’s net worth is about $400,000,000 and the insider trading was to avoid losing $40,000 in stock value. In other words, she fucked people over to avoid losing 0.01% of her wealth.
It was sarcasm. I really dislike that the only thing young men will protest about is saving video games.
What do those have to do with my video games?? I just wanna grill game!
They targeted gamers.
Gamers.
We’re a group of people who will sit for hours, days, even weeks on end performing some of the hardest, most mentally demanding tasks. Over, and over, and over all for nothing more than a little digital token saying we did.
We’ll punish our selfs doing things others would consider torture, because we think it’s fun. We’ll spend most if not all of our free time min maxing the stats of a fictional character all to draw out a single extra point of damage per second. Many of us have made careers out of doing just these things: slogging through the grind, all day, the same quests over and over, hundreds of times to the point where we know evety little detail such that some have attained such gamer nirvana that they can literally play these games blindfolded.
Do these people have any idea how many controllers have been smashed, systems over heated, disks and carts destroyed in frustration? All to later be referred to as bragging rights?
These people honestly think this is a battle they can win? They take our media? We’re already building a new one without them. They take our devs? Gamers aren’t shy about throwing their money else where, or even making the games our selves. They think calling us racist, mysoginistic, rape apologists is going to change us? We’ve been called worse things by prepubescent 10 year olds with a shitty head set. They picked a fight against a group that’s already grown desensitized to their strategies and methods. Who enjoy the battle of attrition they’ve threatened us with. Who take it as a challange when they tell us we no longer matter. Our obsession with proving we can after being told we can’t is so deeply ingrained from years of dealing with big brothers/sisters and friends laughing at how pathetic we used to be that proving you people wrong has become a very real need; a honed reflex. Gamers are competative, hard core, by nature. We love a challange. The worst thing you did in all of this was to challange us. You’re not special, you’re not original, you’re not the first; this is just another boss fight.
Ah yes…that’s why I downloaded them too…
Unix is the single user version of Multics, an operating system for that could handle multiple users simultaneously. The multi user stuff didn’t actually work great, but the other tech it had was great, so they made a single user version. The name was made to sound like it was Multics without the “Multi”.
Unix became a proprietary, paid operating system. Linus Torvalds took a Unix course at university and became interested in operating systems. He didn’t like that rules prevented him from actually modifying the Unix system even if he knew how. So he made his own free and open source version of the Unix operating system and named it after himself, because of his “big ego” as he puts it.
Now this is where I have to interject for a moment because, actually, Linus only wrote the kernel of the operating system. He didn’t write any of the common programs and tools. For that he used GNU software, which are all free and open source themselves.
There’s a Kurzgesagt video that talks about how it’s not so much that the internet is forming echo chambers as it is encouraging arguments. People aren’t just finding others that they agree with, they’re attacking people they don’t.
Finding people who agree with you isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Attacking everyone who don’t because you now know a bunch of people have your back is the dangerous part. Algorithms play this up because it drives engagement. Two tribes arguing keeps people coming back for more, so it ends up being all you see online.
Even this comment is filled with hatred. Why are you so angry?
YanDev is a literal pedophile. It’s honestly mind boggling people care more about a guy who won’t sign a petition on preserving video games than pedophiles and bigots. I don’t get the hate.

First Asmongold, now Notch. Any other famous bigoted incel want some easy PR?
Kids start asking why when they become self-aware.
I wouldn’t say it’s when they’re self aware. Kids can recognize themselves in a mirror at around 1 year old. They start asking why when they realize other people know things they do not, a concept usually called “theory of mind”.
Me, every time I try searching a Rust question.
That’s easy. Just do:
fn is_second_num_positive() -> bool {
let input = "123,-45";
let is_positive =
input.split(',')
.collect::<Vec<&str>>()
.last()
.unwrap()
.parse::<i32>()
.unwrap()
.is_positive();
is_positive
}
Gaben said it best when he said “piracy is a service issue, not a price issue.” There is no other company that even comes close to matching Steam’s services, both to consumers and developers. The industry could become a different place when he dies. I don’t see any other CEO continuing to spend money to innovate and expand services rather than offer less and charge more to extract record profits.
Outlaw Country is a musical style and doesn’t actually relate to anything political. It’s a funny pun but not really an example of doublethink. Conservatives who like Rage Against the Machine however…
