It’s never bad advice to consider something.

Is your assertion that it takes more time for a CPU to read values out of a 30 byte struct and do a couple shifts and branches than to parse a JSON representation?

I think that goomba bumped into the squished goomba Mario had just squished. Mario was just a bit to the left so the flat goombas hit box stuck out to the right a bit and the other goomba hit it.

Yeah it doesn't really land well as a joke because it's the very first thing. Joking hot takes at least need a bit of warm up so readers know what's going on, whereas this just opens with a no-context dis at women where it's not even clear what the joking read is supposed to be talking about. What hard work? What's happening?

Do you never find yourself interested in the results of a code change you have just made?

Might be fun to use diffusion to make adversarial/false answers to the pixelated scenes, depending on how pixelated they are. If they're quite pixelated you could probably come up with some crazy alternatives.

This is incorrect

Why would you expect a law professor to be an expert in avoiding being framed?

I use arch and I don’t like fiddling with my system, I just wanted something light. After the painful initial install a few years ago it’s been really stable on the laptop I used to run xubuntu on. I switched because I was having problems with ubuntu running stuff I didn’t care about in the background and eating up CPU time.

There are fundamental issues with x86 that make it impossible to match the efficiency of ARM. Variable length instruction coding for instance, which means a surprising amount of power is dedicated to circuitry which is just to find where the instruction boundaries are for speculative execution. Made sense in the 80s when memory was scarce and execution was straightforward, but now it’s a barrier to efficiency that’s baked right into the ISA.

It's not solving a technical problem. It's trying to avoid points where the user has to make an active decision to continue looking at whatever is being served and thus have a chance to decide to leave.

You obviously live in a much nicer place. Sounds like the GP lives in a rougher neighborhood in a larger city, which if you’ve never experienced, can definitely leave you wanting to avoid having to shop in public.
