It is not known whether the aeolipile was put to any practical use in ancient times, and if it was seen as a pragmatic device, a whimsical novelty, an object of reverence, or some other thing.

No wonder, the series ended when
spoilers for ending of first half
Tap for spoiler
Makina got sliced into vibes and denji was eating them.
That was the ending after the final battle. Whatever it then got turned into was already life support.

You are being extremely rude to a person that was beloved in the town. The hate was not from the fellow neighbours, was internationally. If you wanna criticise some one criticise the priest in change of the church that gave her permission to do so.
The priest even attempted to cover the painting to save her of the hate, in proof that he still was wanting to protect her, but the mayor of the town decided not to, since the amount of tourism actually brought money to the town.

So? She had permission to do it. The hate she received was completely unjustified

If they are at that level of critical thinking they would not have survived Linux anyway so, idc.

I’m a data engineer, ofc I know that. But you were excusing it as if their service has costs. That’s bs, because their reported earnings that done include whatever profit they are going to gain from these it of train data already were very profitable.
That’s why I said you were in wrong. Not because you expected them to sell everything they could, so did I, but because you justified that behaviour from the free to play model. That model exists in plenty games that are extremely successful without harvesting things beyond metadata.
- Comment on ‘Pokémon Go’ players have been unknowingly training delivery robots 2 weeks ago:
Pokemon go has been extremely profitable, the free to play model works. They don’t need to subsidize shit.
Free to play games work by being pay2win and by catering to whales. Sorry but you are wrong.

There’s no inconsistency here. They don’t want to live in fear so they want to destroy all that they fear. Their actions support this statement.

In fact, the “white” race makes no fucking sense. The term is caucasian, and it includes people from all around Europe, the middle east and north Africa.
The “race” questionnaire has Egypt as “white”, so following that logic anyone from Morocco or anywhere in Spain would also be “white”. Just based on the questionnaire.
Dunno, weird. I still don’t understand why anything besides country of origin needs to be registered, though.

Latino means from Latin America, meaning “the part of the Americas where people talk languages derived from Latin”. Brazilian is derived from Portuguese, which in turn comes from Latin, so yeah the term tracks.
Hispanic is derived from the Spanish term “Hispano hablante” (spanish speaking), so it only describes Spanish speaking countries.
Regardless, some people might take offence with the Hispanic term due to its derogatory use in the US and that’s why they prefer the “Latino” term. I’m not gonna challenge their preference, it’s better to use what each prefers.
Hope this helps.

Are proper Spaniards, people actually from Spain … Hispanic?
None that I know would consider that that term describes them, neither do I. And I’m from Spain, so I know quite a bit of Spaniards.
The word hispanic is used in “hispanohablante”, which is a word to describe countries or communities that speak Spanish outside of Spain, naturally.
However, when talking about “hispanohablante” (spanish speaking) communities in Europe for example, the term doesn’t distinguish between South Americans or Spaniards, so idk. It’s just weird to think of us as Spanish speaking people, we are in Spain, of course we speak Spanish. Duh.

Oh, I wasn’t trying to diss you, I was mentioning that I failed to recognise the difference between grok and X, I was actually berating myself from accidentally understanding the title for the wrong reasons haha.

I guess my brain equated from with X and reached the intended conclusion. I assumed that the title meant what you say the article is.
- Comment on Hold my beer... 5 weeks ago:
The second one. The “hold my beer” is an expression used to describe a situation where you would be drinking, and you would be asking someone to hold your drink so you can do something.
It can technically be the first one but… That would be a wordplay on the usually meaning of the format.

D2 resurrected is the remaster. Infernal edition is the warlock DLC. The remaster was released some years ago and as much as I hate blizzard it’s decent-ish. It doesn’t support more ofc so it has no use for me but it’s what it is. Infernal edition is trash.

An app that gets requests to verify access and returns ok/no is minimal surveillance. We are so past that in terms of surveillance that complaining about it seems silly.
- Comment on For Spain’s Sánchez, the fight against tech billionaires is personal 1 month ago:
Why are you implying that we would need to do that? The proposed solution in the article is an app that social media apps would need to interact with to get approval. Something like an external verification tool. All the billionaires would get is an “ok, go on” or “stop”.
Is it so hard to read the article before criticizing your own hallucinations?

Paid class DLC that has no new story and people are getting hyped over it? Disappointing…
Guys, there’s plenty D2 mods, no need to buy the new Kool-aid from the sexual assault studio.

Have they finally released screen sharing in ts6? I gotta say that the development of that project is pretty comical. Radio silence with the only communication being the community manager shitting on discord every other day while giving no updates on their own product.
Weird vibes.

Voice chat isn’t inherently costly to host, usually the server acts as a broker and then people connect P2P. Do you remember jitsi? It was used as an alternative to zoom during covid, it was a webpage like Google meet where you opened a room, and people joined with the link. Actually under the good the first one that joined the room acted as a host so all voice communications never reached jitsi’s servers.
Jitsi still exists btw, although I understand that a more integrated solution like matrix is preferable. Matrix IS the federated discord-like solution, although last time I read about it it had some issues with scalability and the typical foss Dev drama.

That if chain is horrendous. You should have a config json file with an array of links and then use a for and check for each of them.
The advantage of having a config file is that it’s easily for others to see everything that can be changed dynamically without touching the code, and it’s much easier to maintain forks that change or extend the configurable behaviour.
Hard coding shit is bad because it’s actually harder to maintain. No programmer worth their salt has difficulty checking the json file that has the configuration for X list, hard coding an if chain is bad coding.

I work remote and in my context a quick call is always a video call, which tbh feels low key nice to interact with coworkers.
Usually they are having an issue and need to share the screen, or are showing me a document they prepared and are explaining their reasoning for feedback, or I had an idea for their issue and I wanted to explain them with some pseudocode… I much prefer quick “calls” where I can show my screen than text, presenting ideas and hearing feedback is sooo much better (not only faster but better) if you can see the face of the person you are working with.
