corroded
The last I read, de minimis still applied. I didn't know until now that was done with.
As an avid collector of vinyl records: FUCK! I've got no problem sending $50 to a European artist who's selling a limited run of records out of their living room. Hell, if it's an artist I really like, I'll spend $70. I'm not about to spend $70 and the artist get half of it.
Spending ludicrous amounts of cash of 12-inch pieces of plastic is totally fine with me, but I want my money going to the artist who's making the music I love, not a government I voted against.
I honestly don't remember ever having this kind of slang when I was a kid. If anything, our slang was borrowed from previous generations. ("Dude, that's cool.") I'm an old millennial, and I speak the same as Gen X and Boomers, it feels like. I never remember my parents asking "what the hell are you saying?"
Am I just forgetting? Is there a late-90s, early-00s equivalent that I've just purged from memory?
Improve your what and do what? I have no idea what that means.
Canada seems like a nice place to visit in a few months.
No, not really. I just can't stand musicals. It doesn't matter how good an episode or movie is otherwise, I just can't enjoy musicals.
I also didn't want to completely skip the episode and miss any plot points, so mute with subtitles worked nicely.
I know what one of the three words in the title actually mean. If you want to know what a word means, you consult a dictionary. If people are actually using these words, it kind of makes sense to add their definitions.
Do you happen to use an ISP that implements CGNAT? I've seen this error, too, and I've read that it's flagging CGNAT IPs as a VPN?
I think age of code plays a big part. 2 years ago: Yeah, I could do better, but it's workable. 15 years ago: Delete everything and just start from scratch.
I have to wonder if NPUs are just going to eventually become a normal part of the instruction set.
When SIMD was first becoming a thing, it was advertised as accelerating "multimedia," as that was the hot buzzword of the 1990s. Now, SIMD instructions are used everywhere, any place there is a benefit from processing an array of values in parallel.
I could see NPUs becoming the same. Developers start using NPU instructions, and the compiler can "NPU-ify" scalar code when it thinks it's appropriate.
NPUs are advertised for "AI," but they're really just a specialized math coprocessor. I don't really see this as a bad thing to have. Surely there are plenty of other uses.
I know you meant that sarcastically, but isn't that exactly what's happening here?
