Note to USA folks, ❗trans folks especially❗.
A passport is:
- Fundamentally useful
- A federal ID
- Recognized in most state/local level contexts
- *You can change your gender marker on it through pure self ID, with nothing medical required*. "X" is an option. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/need-passport/selecting-your-gender-marker.html
- Normally 4-6 weeks to process (faster if u pay extra); that means if you apply for one this week, you easily get it before Jan 20.
- Lasts 10 years
Perhaps apply for one (or renew it, to reset yr 10 years) now.
@ZeldaTheBunny honestly I would say Sweden, but only because we need you. We are slowly sliding down to fascism here too.
Oh, and we have a large well respected programming industry, though I don't think they hiring right know.
‼️ AMERICANS ‼️
I hate getting political, but I have a platform on here and despite me being sick of Fedi I will use it nonetheless.
* If you or anyone you know is trans, they're cis now.
* If you or anyone you know is an immigrant, they've been here since they were born.
* If you are asked about politics, you say that you do not discuss politics.
You must protect the vulnerable and yourself.
@ericleamen this is why I would have loved to see the Republican nomination go to Nikki Haley. Either they would have lost, or they would have proven me wrong about their misogyny, either would have been fine with me.
Bonus point if she would have run against Kamala Harris we would have an woman president, hopefully breaking the taboo.
so you know when you close a piece of editor software that can have multiple files or tabs open, and it asks if you want to save / discard / cancel?
LinqPad has a fourth option: shelve. if you have tabs open with unsaved stuff, it keeps it and just opens it back up next time you open it. nothing lost, but you don't need to go through and save everything to a file.
every bit of editor software (regardless of type) needs this. it's such a useful feature, especially for my ADHD brain.
@puppygirlhornypost2 I think Firefox let you opt-in/out after they assigned your side, I think that would be fine.
@puppygirlhornypost2 @hipsterelectron some Google fu later. Did you mean Min-Yih Hsu blog post from the fifteenth of May "Legalizations in LLWM Backend"?
@mrsbeanbag they do cost money, and when the wast majority of calls is scams...
@joe @steve I did get some of the conversation cut off, so I assumed that the discussion was about function calls. A huge limiter of performance I disregarded as irrelevant is deserialisation which is impossible with back to back dependent instructions. The numbers of instruction that can be executed in parallel is largely irrelevant if the scheduler is constantly waiting for the last instruction to finish.
@gsuberland @ninkosan@infosec.exchange @GossiTheDog it took me a second to come over the fact that the s model is without an BluRay drive, but that's only true for the xbox series.
@joe @steve from a performance perspective the only thing that really should matter is predictability. Morden super scaler CPUs will break apart the instruction flow rename all the registers, and memory locations, schedule the micro ops and retire them. Assuming no resource is over subscribed the one thing that limit through put is the branch predicter, on most morden CPUs that is one taken branch per cycle with a misprediction penalty of 15 cycles.
@ninkosan@infosec.exchange @gsuberland @GossiTheDog yeah, you probably right. I thought I was following that saga pretty closely but that hole hdmi pass through set top box replacement thing completely passed my mind.
@gsuberland @GossiTheDog "solved" is a strong word, and I forgot to mention xbox live and PlayStation plus.
I am also aware that use of the word "insane" can seem insensitive to some, but I use it in the "original" meaning when I was learning English "not contained by reason".
@gsuberland @GossiTheDog I believe so.
This was right after the insane success of the Wii so everyone wanted some kind motion control gimmick.
The DRM thing is harder to read, but a lot of publishers had started to complain about second hand games because of the increasing costs of post lunch services. This was later solved with annual releases, online passes, and insane gambling mechanics.
@gsuberland @GossiTheDog the original xbox one was packaged with the kinect, and they had some insane online DRM for games. They changed the first one soon after lunch, the second one before.
@shoq this is a nothing burger. Calling an pre-pland abort option for a crash is misleading.
@LALegault okay, that's funny. Or sad, but I would rather laugh then cry.
@LALegault to be fair the "I am mowing to Canada" thing is probably rhetoric.
@nate I would search your package manager for the word "toolbar", you never know.
