Why does that assembly code use a global variable for a loop value?? It’s also ignoring register conventions (some registers need to be preserved before being modified by a function) which would probably break any codebase you use this in

Is it bad that I already knew what this would print the moment I read the meme?

There was a massive Game freak data leak a few months ago that leaked source assets and code from a bunch of the older games, and there were some lore-type folk stories about Pokemon. (I think based on Japanese folk legends?) There was a particularly weird one (putting it nicely) about a typhlosion that married a human woman

My bad I should’ve clarified on the half-serious part, I actually like chikorita and tepig :sigh:

Favorites from each gen:

Starting some flame wars with the half-serious takes tho

This better be tail call optimized

Random people who just want to get into a position of power don’t pass.

Not sure about rural towns but I’m pretty sure this is the case in most cities/big towns in the US as well. It’s just that police training in the US tends to systemically filter decent human beings out of its system. Not exactly random, more like maximally bad by design 🙃

Entertainment is not a necessity, it’s not like people need it to survive. When it doesn’t move with wages people find ways to make it affordable (e.g. piracy, 2nd hand markets, or sharing physical copies with friends), or they find something else (steam, indie games, etc.). Wages are directly responsible for game prices in a lot of ways, and there are pretty good Steam statistics on this as well (which is why a lot of Steam games aren’t priced with 1:1 conversions in different regions, because doing so would basically price entire regions out of buying games).

Pricing fans out of games is exactly how AAA studios go under. A big AAA game flopping is basically a death sentence for a studio in the current landscape, and if Microsoft isn’t immune to that then Nintendo definitely isn’t.

It doesn’t matter if a $60 game in 2008 is worth $88 now if wages haven’t gone up to match that. Did you know that (at least in the US) food prices usually aren’t included in inflation calculations because they fluctuate too much? People have other things to pay for with their wages that aren’t video games, and those costs aren’t going down either.

Now that I can get behind

You say that like Nintendo ever puts their games on sale

I think I’ll pass on $80 for Mario kart ($90 for a cartridge) ngl, it can’t be that much better 😭

I wouldn’t be surprised if my town was the exception and not the norm (I’m from a relatively progressive town in a consistently blue state) but at my public high school I only knew of 1-2 people out of the 500 people in my grade that stood up during the pledge of allegiance and a good percentage of the grade hated them because they were high key homophobic.

Doesn’t W3C already maintain the ActivityPub protocol?

Edit: nevermind I misunderstood this

Am I the only one who sees this as a sloth instead of a helmet?

Yes? Ok maybe I’m going crazy

This has to be bait… I refuse to believe someone would see this meme and think it’s trying to say that people are literally being stabbed.

From the article

The first five implants took place last year in the US and all received donor hearts before being discharged from hospital, with the longest time in between implant and transplant 27 days.

Seems like the initial trials are using it as a temporary measure until a donor heart can be transplanted

Kitty has multiplexing built in so it can also replace a lot of what tmux does (unless you’re using tmux over ssh)

Obligatory “I’m a cis man” but this scenario is most of my extended family right now, with the lucky exceptions of my parents, siblings, and grandparents. I’m pretty sure they’ve all said this exact line multiple times.

Probably performance - the Java server takes up a lot of memory and CPU for what it does. The base implementation first started in 2011, so it wasn’t exactly designed to be multithreaded or parallelized because most games were still largely single-threaded at the time. Rewriting it from scratch in a different language probably helps with that
