It’d be a shame if someone use AI to generate an image to upload. You’d just be feeding AI data into AI, and that could ruin what Facebook’s trying to do.

A bit of ancient history, the early Macintosh operating system & applications were written on Apple Lisas. Native Mac development tools weren’t released until late 1986.

Ah, that’s how we wound up with reverse Polish notation.

In a pressurized water reactor, yes. In boiling water reactor, steam is formed in the reactor vessel and is sent directly to the turbines. While in operation, the turbine area is too radioactive for human presence. Fortunately, the radioactive byproducts carried in the steam are all very short lived, so it only takes a few minutes cool off.

Same in Vermont, so long as it’s not “lewd and lascivious behavior.”

I’m curious what countries like Spain, Italy, and the UK will do. They all have smaller aircraft carriers that require short takeoff / vertical landing planes, a role currently being filled by the F-35B. I’m unaware of anything similar from other western aircraft manufacturers.

At the end of the Strange New Worlds musical episode, after the curse is broken, there’s a cover of the TOS theme that didn’t make it onto the album.
Make sure to lead your shot. At Apollo velocities, you’ll need to aim where the moon will be at in three days, not where it is right now.
Except this boy band is from the early 00’s.
Looks like some former USSR countries in Eastern Europe, like Ukraine or Lithuania, use +3 country codes. Was this always the case or was it changed after the dissolution of the USSR?
- mercano@lemmy.worldtoSteam Hardware@sopuli.xyz•Is the Steam Deck still worth it in 2025? I'd argue yes — but with caveats7·6 months ago
It’s a PC, essentially, so the hardware is always evolving, they could upgrade whenever they choose to. The advantage of any console, the Steam Deck included, is it offers a very consistent set of specs the developers can target for years. If Valve iterates too quickly, then two problems arise: One, there’s one performance goal for devs interested in making a portable game to work towards, there’s many. In addition, the Steam Deck Verified program gets a lot harder to maintain if there are too many flavors of Deck to manage. I think Valve is planing on a lifecycle similar to the major consoles.
The upside is it is all PC hardware, and there are other handheld manufacturers out there, some even running SteamOS, so if you want a higher performance rig before Valve’s ready for the SD2, you can certainly find what you’re looking for.

I’ve used the right trackpad as a mouse. I haven’t tried it for an FPS, but it works well for menus, inventory management, or for lower stress mouse games like city builders.
In Valhiem, at least, I’ve configured the left track pad as an 8 position radial menu to quickly activate to any hotbar slot.
The license plate on that car seems on-brand for Bond.

It may be zip code boundaries, given how narrow the NYC strip is. Some of the excessive jankiness in what was Nevada would be because no one lives on a lot of the federally-owned land reserves out there, so they don’t get their own post office, and the catchment area of some zip codes gets huge with weird boundaries.

Well, There’s Your Problem, a podcast about engineering disasters, with slides. Not as dry as it sounds, a lot of it is taking the piss out of the people in decision-making roles who made the disaster possible. The video version is recommended for afore mentioned slide decks; none of the hosts actually appear on screen.

The beach may be there, but the snow won’t be, and I care about the later more.
That’s a ChatGPT kind of answer. A pattern is recognized, but the meaning isn’t understood.
