the sacred chickens do not approve.

Are these hippo sprint speeds, or real proper endurance speeds?

Foreign nationals, let alone foreign governments, are not allowed to give money to political campaigns in the United States. Actually illegal. Bill Clinton got in trouble for it

If you can prove that an NFT scheme was foreign campaign money laundering in court, people can go to jail.

Most places in the US will have nothing about severance written down anywhere, but it’s very common to actually pay severance in a mass layoff situation (unless the whole business is going under).

Current IT best practice is that passwords should never expire on a set schedule, but they should expire if there is evidence they’ve been breached.

There’s a technique called “heel-toe” shifting which involves using different parts of the right foot to operate the brake and throttle at the same time, while the left foot works the clutch.

That kid looks ready to raise your health insurance deductible again and deny your claim for insulin.

I think I’ve seen at least one that has returned to Pizza Hut after leaving the folks for a while.

Not enough mushrooming in that case.

No. I would like to go back to beans, please.

But the floppy diskette and the “hard disks” did in fact have circular discs inside that spin around.

I suspect that the word diskette was created as an analog to tape “cassette”. With both diskette and cassette, the media is stored inside an enclosure, and you don’t have to take it out manually.

I sure hope you have some peer reviewed clinical studies to back up a controversial statement like that!

Instead the story is that the source engine was located in the “Src” directory in their Visual Source Safe. And the Half Life 1 engine was in a separate branch named GoldSrc because it was about to ship real soon, and they needed to keep changes to a minimum.

“gradient descent” is a jargon word for one kind of training method.

This is actually pretty important to being able to solve engineering problems in the real world. Invariably, every little sub industry has its own cursed unit system. And dimensional analysis is great for solving real problems on its own.

And if you get to a high enough physics level, they start setting hbar = c = 1 or G = c = 1, and you never have to worry about it again.

I’m the mean time, it’s worthwhile to learn the trick to do this stuff fast-ish.

Of course it plays^HH^HH^H ponders Doom.

The “So Long And Thanks For All The Fish” theme was compressed for the 2005 movie.

Both the movie and TV miniseries use “Journey of the Sorcerer” by The Eagles as an instrumental theme song.

Especially crazy when Douglas Adams has a writing credit on the screenplay, and all indications are that he was substantially involved in it’s contents.

Edit:

The script we shot was very much based on the last draft that Douglas wrote… All the substantive new ideas in the movie… are brand new Douglas ideas written especially for the movie by him… Douglas was always up for reinventing HHGG in each of its different incarnations and he knew that working harder on some character development and some of the key relationships was an integral part of turning HHGG into a movie.

For the money they are (were I guess) handed to set that it’s clearly worth it.

Not disagreeing with you. I just want to point out that Google is probably deliberately “overpaying” on this Mozilla deal, because they want to keep Firefox afloat, because they don’t want to catch a court ruling that they are monopolizing the browser market too.

Dirty tricks with web browsers is the antitrust charge that actually caught Microsoft in the 90s.

Skip aero. Let’s go back to compiz fusion and deskcubes.
