Gabe is absolutely right on this. If it doesn’t completely recenter the first person shooter genre, it’s not really a half life game.

Even if you do have an MMU, there’s no guarantee that you’ll get a segmentation fault from a memory bug. You can still just get the weird side effects, if you fail to access the incorrect memory.

Undefined behaviour means exactly that. You have no idea what you could get.

Well, they ain’t starting from scratch, cause they designed a bunch of nukes for the USSR.

They almost certainly have workable designs in a file drawer, and the old facilities are all in Ukraine too. It’s a question of how much decommissioning those got in the nineties, and how long it takes to enrich the uranium.

I just think they’re neat.

DLR trains do, and several airport trains.

Some London Underground lines have drivers that only intervene in the automatic operation of the train in an emergency or abnormal condition.

Those people are almost as bad as the junior devs that are very confidently incorrect.

This is NonCredibleDefense. So it’s true if it would be funny if it were true.

Ukraine gave up those nukes in exchange for security assurances. If Russia is going to go back on its assurance, then Ukraine should be able to go back to the nukes. Fair is fair.

As a former SSR that held nuclear weapons on its territory before 1968, they even oughta be free and clear with respect to the non proliferation treaty.

Reminder: it is in SpaceX’s interest to try to prevent either belligerent from using Starlink for military purposes. Among other reasons, SpaceX does not want tighter ITAR or EAR export restrictions that come with being a munition or dual-use technology.

The -V variant gained the Viper callsign. I don’t think it’s correct to call anything before F-16V “viper.”

Unlike many other military aircraft, Wikipedia does not have a complete accounting of every F16 in service–merely saying “4,500+”. So it’s a fair guess that there are still some non-Viper Falcons knocking about somewhere.

Wait. Did you really mean “decreasing” rather than “desecrating”? Because that’s hilarious.

Yep. Linux is a total pain in the behind to write applications for, because of API and ABI instability. Just ask notable Linux desktop application developer Linus Torvalds.

Or, uh, maybe this story is simply false and mistaken reporting.

In fact, it appears Israel was not a party to this proposal, which was floated by the United States. In order for a ceasefire to work, you gotta get all of the belligerents on board.

Most games I’ve seen, nobody ever horse trades for color groups.

Complex deals and negotiations, land swaps, leveraged buyouts, and free rent passes, are all supposed to be part of the game. Getting a color group solely by landing on the spaces first and buying them for list price is indeed rare, by design.

This leads to my other pet peeve… You’re not supposed to have enough money to go around the board the first time and buy every space you land on at the list price. You’re supposed to be forced to make strategic decisions from the beginning of the game about what you go for, and what you bid in the auctions.

Most of the made up “house rules” are really about circulating more into the game than is supposed to be there.

You should also know that because of jail and various other teleports, the orange group is the most popular group on the board. It’s something like 1.8 times the average to land on those spaces, because two of them are 6 and 8 spaces from jail. Jail is a very popular space because Go To Jail also counts as Jail.

Boardwalk has very high rents, but it’s also pretty unpopular to land on.

The worst rent-to-popularity values are yellow and green.

How’s about you guys spend some of that budget on QA?

the sacred chickens do not approve.

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

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).
