Its something closer to 400% of the federal minimum wage and more like 600% of what some states have on the books. Minimum wage has barely moved since I was in high school.

In a normal byte format it wouldn’t help, the byte standard breaks off bits into 8 bit chunks and calls them bytes (I’m not trying to explain basics, just putting it there for background), little-endian excels at using the least number of bits to express larger numbers in a stream. If you wanted to send any number from 0-255 you only need 1 byte, for 256-512 you need two bytes (or 16 bits), in little-endian it can be represented in just 9 bits, or up to 1024 in 10 bits, etc.

Doesn’t matter for much to many people, but when the number gets big enough you can save a lot of bandwidth.

I think you missed the point, that I was making, albeit poorly (little endian still requires leading zeros when not transmitting in a byte format, otherwise you don’t know if the first on signal is for 1, 256, 1024, etc.) it’s all good though

I’m not seeing any trailing zeros if that is in little endian, you start little end first and it isn’t limited to a silly 8-bits, it can be used to represent numbers far larger than 255 if continued (though then it wouldn’t be representative of a byte and half the joke would be lost).

Little-endian for the win!

I usually just gather a nibble by picking up a couple crumbs… I’ll see myself out.

Napping. Not everyone understands the fun that can be had.

I’m sure a successor will come around when room forms for them, I don’t know of a reason any of the core *arr stack should need one. If you know of one don’t hesitate to share, I’m just not really aware of any, they are awesome to me.

Odd way to phrase it, but I totally agree.

I would have been a bit more specific, but it applies to all of them (they aren’t the reason I don’t trust Google either).

Sadly I’m not completely switched away yet, I’m doing the best I can with the sacrifices I’m willing to make and accepting what I can’t. I run GOS on a pixel, it has GPS but severely locked down, most apps get denied the network permission and pretty much nothing has access to any data outside of limited storage scopes or the minimum contacts (i.e. Android Auto can only see two contacts in my phone and can’t see any SMS/messaging).

Beyond that I do the usual Google replacements (Nextcloud for files/seedvault backups, immich for photo backups, CoMaps instead of Google Maps, etc).

I yern for the day I can have an old flip phone with a hotspot built in for a few apps on other devices (or bt tethering).

America isn’t the reason I don’t use Google Play Services… Google is the reason for that specific choice for me.

Personally when I need something and have seen an ad for a product that fits the need, I’ll buy it. If I’ve seen the ad so much that it’s seared into my brain, I search for the product and buy the ripoff version of it (when possible), or I DIY it.

Edit: corrected autocorrect

I took my Jeep (Grand Cherokee) to the dealer before the warranty expires because it is clicking and popping from the front. It took them 2 days to decide it must be the front CV, meanwhile sales kept calling trying to convince us we wanted to “upgrade” to a 2024 model with almost 40k miles on it… the 2023 we brought in doesn’t even have 24k yet.

Edit: I don’t know how they could have thought anyone would go for that.

When I realized they paywalled OIDC I had to look elsewhere.

As a current one I concur.

I suppose the older I get the more I can get behind this, similar to interlock devices for people that can’t control their drinking, I would imagine the offender would have to pay for it or lose their license. I know it seems crazy to force people to stay within the speed limit, but fining and tickets don’t work for some people.

My sincerest apologies friend, I have a few less years of formal education than most of the people on here. I believe my confusion was due to my utter lack of understanding, I was equating median with the physical barrier placed in between sides of a divided highway.

Once again though, my apologies and thank you for providing me with a bit of knowledge! Always happy to be part of the 10k.

I’m half with you; eminent domain it, but I wouldn’t trust his tunnels with humans in them. Maybe it could be repurposed as a way to redirect flood waters or something. His tunneling ability is right up there with his morality acumen.

Tell that to the untouched land behind me that when brought to the planning commission was hit with more complaints than they could handle and it was withdrawn. A new plan was slipped through avoiding the lot that touched homes so they didn’t have to notify anyone. It was approved and they immediately cleared the lot that wasn’t in the plan citing the need for an emergency exit. Then they added about 80 foot of elevation to the property (so much dirt and dust).

Umm… So assuming their youngest viewer is 0, who the fuck is the 140 year old still watching the news? I’m going to go out on a limb and reread that in my head as the “mean” age (average) instead of “median” (being the mid-point in a range).

I hate to be that guy, but words used to have meanings.
