I appreciate your optimism.
You can lead a horse to text, but you can’t make him read

Go home Tucker, you’re drunk.

It would be so cool to have time and money to mess around with this bleeding edge stuff.

Assassin’s Creed’s Publisher’s Greed: “No Pop-Ups. No Pop-Ups. You’re The Pop-Ups.”

I thought I was old, but I’ve only even heard of the 3dfx 😳

There was a 1999 PC game called Drakan: Order of the Flame which was a pretty good time. Third-person action-adventure sword and sorcery that had some fun hidden secrets, a variety of weapons with different strengths, dragon riding… To expand on that, and probably make the protagonist a bit more realistically dressed, would be enjoyable

this is so obviously a troll account that it’s painful to see no one else questioning it

Methinks your username is a little too relevant right now :p

Yeah it’s the front end of the week and Saturday is the rear end

The contempt and elitism coming off this post is so thick it could be cut with a knife. I sincerely hope this is just you in a bad mood and not routinely how you respond to people asking innocent questions.

As an outsider to that exchange, you DID reply quite nicely, at least until abruptly being quite rude in your very last sentence. :/

That’s an unorthodox side dish to say the least, but I suppose beggars can’t be choosers.

I can’t believe that all this time I could have been getting my lunch for free at wikipedia.org

I have already seen this horrible headline posted (and deleted) from THIS community earlier today.

No, I think min() returns the lower of two arguments. If you had 4 cores, min(4, 8) == 4, and if you had 20 cores, min(20, 8) == 8

Context:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cf.

The abbreviation cf. (short for either Latin confer or conferatur, both meaning ‘compare’)[1] is used in writing to refer the reader to other material to make a comparison with the topic being discussed. Style guides recommend that “cf.” be used only to suggest a comparison, and the words “see” or “vide” be used generally to point to a source of information.[2][3]

Ah yes, toxic individualism

Pardon me for sounding like an armchair psychologist here, but it seems to me like you have fallen down some weird rabbit hole where you are excusing your creepy behavior patterns with this concept of privacy. I suggest you take an honest look at how you behaved in this interaction, because “privacy loving” is neither a cause or justification for what you described doing in the OP.

Instagram and Snapchat play a vital role in the dating, no one is willing to share their # anymore. If you say you don’t have Insta or Snap all you’ll get is a weird up to down stare and the words “I’m sorry”.

If you really believe that, then tough shit: you can’t have your cake and eat it too. You chose to stay off insta and snap, so you have to accept the consequences of that choice. Your decision to try to spin up a burner account and hastily attempt to make it look legitimate was stalker-tier behavior. Not to mention that painting a whole class of people with such a broad brush as “no one is willing to share their number anymore” is dangerously close to incel bullshit all on its own. It is far more likely that no one is willing to share their number with you because you are pushing to get too familiar too quickly and they are rightly picking up on the major red flags.

The appropriate response would have been to be honest about not using it (and in general being honest is ALWAYS THE RIGHT MOVE when you’re meeting people, so long as sharing wouldn’t put your safety at undue risk), and to accept the odds of the weird stare you expect to get.

Because everyone is a unique person, and you don’t actually know when you’re going to run into someone with similar views as you about privacy, if that is really your true concern. But it seems like your desperation overrode whatever principles you purport to have in that moment. Changing who you are to try and get in someone’s good books is fundamentally manipulative and is a serious problem. You are never going to be capable of a healthy relationship until you nip that in the bud.

It sounds like you are young, so the good news is that most people have been a fucking idiot in this regard at one point or another, and it’s easily fixed! Accept that you fucked this up and take an honest look at how you approach interaction with others, and you will already be farther along the path to normal social relations than you think.

Well most replies already suggested a LLM but good old fashioned search skills work fine too.

For simple questions, as long as you know the correct terminology that is relevant, just asking the question of a search engine is usually good enough to turn up articles or stack overflow answers that’ll help

If you don’t know the terminology or you struggle to ask a precise question despite your knowledge, going up one level , so to speak, and consuming more information about the stuff in the immediate context, can often either fill in the gaps to allow you to ask the right question, or sometimes it’s the missing bit of info you didn’t know you needed to solve your actual problem.

It does, doesn’t it?

I think it’s the warmer lights. Subconsciously we know that stuff is supposed to stay there only temporarily, I suppose.
