Why are all my variables suddenly named after SS officers?

Nintendo's distain for its own fanbase continues to baffle the world.

I know it's a joke, but the idea that NAT has any business existing makes me angry. It's a hack that causes real headaches for network admins and protocol design. The effects are mostly hidden from end users because those two groups have twisted things in knots to make sure end users don't notice too much. The Internet is more centralized and controlled because of it.

No, it is not a security feature. That's a laughable claim that shows you shouldn't be allowed near a firewall.

Fortunately, Google reports that IPv6 adoption is close to cracking 50%.

Rollercoaster Tycoon was the last of an era, not a sudden burst of genius.

Before Doom (1993), almost all games were assembly. Doom was a shock to the industry. You could now write a high performance, multiplatform, sophisticated game in a compiled language (C). When I say multiplatform, I don't just mean how it was ported to everything later. It was developed on NextStations first. DOS was the first port. So it proved all of the above immediately on release.

We take for granted that C is performant now, but that wasn't obvious until optimizing compilers got good and someone tried.

Rollercoaster Tycoon (1999) is the last notable title that used ASM. It's impressive in many ways, but it wasn't as much of a standout as it seems now. Six years earlier to its release, that was just how games were done.

It's notable that the only port of Rollercoaster Tycoon was the original Xbox, which was also x86. Nobody wants to rewrite it for anything else.

We don't stand for Chinese surveillance in this country. Our surveillance shall be domestically produced or GTFO.

Year of the Linux download!

The general election won't have ranked choice. Adams and Cuomo may end up splitting the "willing to vote for corrupt dirtbag" ticket and let Mamdani cruise to victory.

We can dream.

You know you're in the right communities when Hulk Hogan dies and everyone says "fuck that guy".

Hey, Germany, if Trump thinks you're doing something right, take that as a warning.

And requires access to your contacts and precise location for some reason.

Is there any value to analyzing his DNA? The idea that evil is genetic is itself feeding into some Nazi ideas about eugenics that are deeply wrong.

That's the sort of thing "new math" was trying to teach. Those sorts of breakdowns are exactly what the kids who were good at math were always doing, and teaching methods eventually caught up and realized they should just teach the tricks.

Then a bunch of parents who were bad at math asked "new math? How can math change?" The fact that they even asked that question showed how their math education was lacking, but they seem to have won.

If ATCs strike right now, what could they even do? They can't possibly bring on enough scabs to do the job. If they tried, it'd be a disaster and ensure US air travel dies.

Hey, Air Traffic Controllers! You have immense power right now!

Pretty sure fems can benefit from having less crotch sweat, too.

"Bizzare"? That's pretty much what I expected of Gabe. I don't imagine he has to work particularly hard. Most CEOs try to hide how much they don't do.

It's "more secure" because there's a specific company to blame when it goes wrong.

This is what happens when old men don't take up model railroading.

It's not just that. Foreign tourists don't want to risk being detained at a US airport just so some ICE alphamale goon can meet his quota.

If we only believe the victims, Trump is guilty of being involved in a pedophile ring beyond a reasonable doubt.

We only need the Epstein Files to "prove" this because we don't believe the victims.

One of the more damning things I could say about Charlie is that this is exactly the memorial service he would have wanted.
