She starts explaining APE at around 14:30. The executable is a “Windows MZ executable” that runs everywhere else, including off BIOS. Before that, she shows her redbean http server, which uses this tech.

If he’s compiling from windows to windows, target OS shouldn’t be a problem. Also, I just had to go one extra click to read Mr-Wiseguy’s github 😅
He could also, in theory, use Cosmopolitan to generate an APE (Actually Portable Executable) that will run on linux, bsd, windows and mac. I had to find a video where Justine talks about it to understand how and why it works: it’s basically a trick to rewrite the header of the executable, with the real magic being an “optional shebang” that lets both Windows and *Nix run the first bytes.

Not being able to make satirical comments about any game-related material would mean nobody could say something like, “Controlling Iron Man feels like fighting Jarvis for control of the suit”, or “Storm is as effective as a light breeze”

Ok, any info on how that’s being done? It sure sounds like Wiseguy figured how to compile the code that was meant for the specific VR4300 (RISC) N64’s CPU for typical x86-64 architecture

I personally like to write some general things I end up enjoying about a game, while I’m playing (or during pauses), mostly because I plan on making a YT channel, but also because I like to leave useful reviews on GOG and Steam. The thing about making notes during early on is that you can check them later and see if anything overstayed its welcome. It’s also great to remember story details, if they’re relevant
The good thing about simply writing down, even generic notes like “good music” and “controls really well” can help create that memory path to the actual experience. You don’t need to be a “critic” to understand when something is great, good, bad or “just there”, but it can take some skill to write in a way that makes sense to other people, so writing about the games you’ve been playing is a good way to train that!

- Comment on Google employees question execs over 'decline in morale' after blowout earnings 1 week ago:
Google is using artificial intelligence to summarize employee comments and questions for the forum.
Well, isn’t that a good start?
Anyway, the TLDR “answer” from CFO Porat is “We were spending too much”, while Pichai’s answer is “We hired too much people”. Way to dodge the question, assholes.
Alphabet’s full-time headcount climbed to over 190,000 at the end of 2022, up almost 22% from a year earlier and 40% higher than at the close of 2020.
So they had around 135k employees in 2020. Why the fuck did you overhire, then? Just to lay off and show off to investors as someone who increased profits in the most asinine way?
Pichai then joked that leadership should hold a “Finance 101” Ted Talk for employees.
Yeah, nevermind me, Sundar Pichai, earning way more money year after year while you’re all begging for raises, it’s just finances, you guys!

Imagine being firebombed because you’re a shit neighbor (this is what I understood after a glance on the wiki page about MOVE, the two times the police went after them, it began as complaints from neighbors)
There was an armed standoff with police,[8] who lobbed tear gas canisters at the building. The MOVE members fired at them in return, and a 90-minute gunfight ensued, in which one officer was bruised in the back by gunfire.[38] Police used more than ten thousand rounds of ammunition before Commissioner Sambor ordered that the compound be bombed
Fucking hell, 10k rounds? How?

Why doesn’t a mouseover show the image’s description? The alt text is there, but it doesn’t show.
How are the images indexed for search? I’ve seen a number of repeats, images that aren’t related to the term, and some that aren’t porn (logos)
Any way to see other search terms that might show up the current image? Like 2 or 3 terms, just in case?

Whenever people talk about evil jargons, or “anti-dummies” wording, the first thing that comes into my mind is lawspeak. You know, how fucking laws are worded, which are anything but obvious to people that only speak “peasant”. It’s worse than academic jargon because it’s something that is likely to be used against you.

Very well! To increase profits, increase the price of every service you offer by 15%, as that will offset potential customer losses and come to a 6% profit increase!

From what i’ve saw from videos on religious archaeology, the “definitive” yaweh is an amalgamation of 2 or 3 gods into one, which explains why his personality varies wildly from text to text. Vengeful asshole here, incompetent god of war against iron chariots, all loving elsewhere

Fun fact, there’s a metaphorical dick-measuring contest in the bible, 1 Kings 18, 21 onwards (had to google it). Basically, Elijah wanted to prove GAHD was greater than Baal. Long story short, GAHD proved HE could light firewood that’s been dumped with water 4 times, while Baal was busy ignoring his followers from dawn to midday.
