Chrome is no longer available in my Start menu.

Do people still use google? I haven’t touched it for yonks now. Except GRIS, that still works well.

Can’t a 3D printer double as a 2D printer? It’d only have to print one “slice”; you’d replace the heated nozzle with some sort of writing stick, hey presto instant plotter!

***** ****!

They mean they’d rather debug at runtime, preferably in production, with minimal instrumentation.

So a dollar will only be worth one pence?

You’d like the IOCCC.

I’ve ridden a motorbike in a T-shirt and kilt before. That’s … fun …

No, the bug didn’t have to get 500,000 upvotes in one week before they started looking at it.

Just like they already do in other Muslim-majority countries.

For the next four years I also propose renaming en_us to an-us.

Easy really. The shop has one parking space which is occupied by their delivery driver. The next nearest parking space is half a mile away through a dark alley and you have to pay, but it takes so long to pay that you get fined. The shop itself is freezing because the door doesn’t shut properly. It’s also a ten mile drive away, down wide fast roads, or at least roads that would be fast if they weren’t infested by ridiculously low average speed cameras which mean you have to crawl all the way there and back or risk getting fined again. Then when you get home you discover you’ve been fined for the last time you parked somewhere and overstayed by a whole nanosecond.

That’s how it is in the UK anyway. And politicians wonder why town centres are dying.

Have you tried Ctrl-Tabbing through all open tabs, to load them all in? It’s be interesting to see how much memory it uses then.

5G for HermitCraft S9, 10G for Enigmatica 6 Expert (looking at Working Set in Resource Monitor). I’ve rebuilt impulseSV’s iBuy as an autocrafting tower in my E6E world, and I needed more detail than I could glean from the videos.

Firefox is a bit more tricky to work out because it’s split over multiple processes but if I kill it while watching Resource Monitor the Available Memory jumps by about 9G, with 56 tabs open.

Have you ever had Windows break so badly that you had to burn an install disk…

As a programmer, yes under Windows 3.0 I could crash the computer so hard that the only way to recover was to reformat the hard disk. It got progressively better in later versions and everything from Windows 2000 has been virtually uncrashable.

My most recent hard crash was when I had a VM, two Minecraft instances and Firefox all open at the same time and Windows ran out of memory (so I upgraded from 32GB to 64GB). It does make me wonder why some of that didn’t get swapped out though.

And I am clarifying that as I continue to subscribe to this service, circumstances may require that my payments will exclude currency, and include regular visits to The Pir[REDACTED]te Bay.

Edit: sorry, Rule 2.

Well that’s OK. It’s not uncommon for different countries to name bits of land and water differently from everyone else. Take Germany for example. The locals call it Deutschland. The French call it Allemagne. Or there are the Falklands, known by the argybargies as Las Malvinas. If Donny McFart in North Mexico wants to call that bit of water the Freedom Gulf or whatever then good for him! As long as he realises it works both ways.

Great, so let’s now do that with memory cards. Faster than Class 10? Call it Class 11, not Class 10 U1 or U3. Faster than Class 11? Call it Class 12. There’s no shortage of numbers. Let’s drop all this U1 U2 bollocks.

Yes, I am still sore about those Class 10 cards I bought for my dashcam that don’t fucking work because it wants U3 and they were U1.

C++:

int i = 5;
i ^= printf("The initial value of i is %d\n", i)^
printf("i=i+1; // this increments i\n")^
printf("Trigger very obscure FPU bug %c",(int)((float)8.5953287712*(double)8.5953287713-'?'))/10;
printf("i has now been incremented by 1 : %d\n", i);

Output:

The initial value of i is 5  
i=i+1; // this increments i  
Trigger very obscure FPU bug  
i has now been incremented by 1 : 6

I didn’t test other values but they’re probably OK.
