Error correction helps a scanner account for portions of the code being obscured/unreadable, whereas a bad background can make a code not even recognizable as a code in the first place. (depending on the algorithm used, how bad it is, yadda yadda)

Finally, the lawyer dog

“required to prosecute all crimes to the fullest extent of the law”, taken literally, requires prosecutors to prosecute everyone for every crime all the time. After all, you don’t know what might turn up in discovery, anything could potentially have happened! Obviously, there has to be some judgement call made, where there’s just not enough evidence to prosecute me for drunk driving even though I stopped an inch past the stop sign. Ultimately, that’s just prosecutorial discretion again, and while it could be reformed and limited somewhat, it will always exist and be abused.

Since it specifically says sexual orientation and not romantic orientation, I think asexual would be the correct answer in that situation.

I think they mean gamesindustry.biz

Where did you read that? I can bet it wasn’t the TOS, because that’s not in there. The TOS allows Adobe to review anything you create with its products using manual or automated means, and maybe restricted to normal screening for CSAM and such (although it’s really ambiguous about what they’ll actually do with it).

On Windows, it’s easy! Unfortunately, on Linux, as far as I know, you currently have to use a non-standard client.

You can actually use Zstandard as your codec for 7z to get the benefits of better compression and a modern archive format! Downside is it’s not a default codec so when someone else tries to open it they may be confused by it not working.

Well, you can have a funnel cloud, but it’s not a tornado until the condensation funnel touches the ground, and it’s not always clear what the case is until proper surveying is done.

ChatGPT makes you a 10x developer, so using it for one year is like ten years of experience ^/s

Indie studios do in fact exist. I haven’t bought a game from a major publisher since… uhh… well, I guess I bought Portal for $1 last year, does Valve still count as a major publisher?

As a former 4-Her myself, the 4-H extension office in our region is run by a state university, but the clubs themselves are community-organized. Also, many clubs in our area were general, so you could do any topic covered by the extension office and be a part of the club.

Bricklink is a site for individuals/small business to buy and sell primarily individual Lego pieces, so it’s important for shipping calculations to have reasonably accurate weights of all the pieces. Their weights are therefore contributed by those sellers. Although now that LEGO Group owns Bricklink, you’d think they could just slide them the numbers.

The part pictured here seems to be 3069px7 with the base color incorrectly set to white. In any case, it’s 3069, the standard 1x2 tile. Thanks to the folks at LDraw who have modeled every Lego brick in detail (because of course people have done that), we get a volume of 303.8mm³, with a bounding box size of 409.6mm³, for a density of about 74%. But, Bricklink can just directly tell us the mass of a 1x2 tile is 0.26g, so the total mass is 10.5 metric tons.

Modern drugs cost tens of millions of dollars to develop at a minimum, and can easily reach into the billions.

From some searching around, it looks like the hole tilts as you stand on it. It doesn’t look dramatic but it could definitely induce falls in people who are prone to such.

It’s really not though? The Chinese government has a 1% stake in ByteDance. Meanwhile ~60% is foreign investors – believed to be mostly American.

Then why are 2012 and 2016 included? It’s extremely confusing to have a line graph over time where intervals of time are missing, even if you clearly call attention to it, which they don’t here.

Which comes out to about 1/7 of a person in that room being shot per year.
