I've always used "legos" as the plural, e.g. when telling my kids to put them away.
This behaviour seems limited to the USA. Lego the corporation wants you to protect their brand for them by calling them 'Lego brand building blocks' but everyone else in the English speaking world, outside the US calls many lego 'lego'. In Denmark the plural form is noun-er, but for lego they call it it 'lego'.
I was under the impression it was a real thing, constructed around market reporting times so that the 'pre arranged' trades of execs line up with positive stock responses to events.
Layoffs come in threes. I've been in big corporations long enough to know the runes.
I was once laid of, and I learned about it from the CEO of another company, who'd been told by the CEO of the company I worked for. He head hunted me before I was laid off.
Out the door Monday at 11.00am, after the 'big announcement'. 12.00 noon, working and the new place. Unemployed for 1 hour.
So you do see how it is a problem that such information is left on sold devices You just pretend not to see it to make a snarky post on/.
I see that it is the practice of companies and the government using them as authentication tokens that makes it a problem when they are left on devices.
Bullshit. Lots of people know my birthdate - It's been entered on numerous forms. Lots of people know my SS number - It's been passed around government departments for a long time. Lots of people have access to my credit card number - Pretty much every time I use it.
That means we live in a de-facto vulnerable state. I don't plan to make myself more vulnerable.
Britain has old pipes. Most water loss is through those pipes leaking. Replace the pipes and the outcome will be water security and a few years of massive road blockages as they dig up every road.
I would use a multi socket server motherboard with a couple of high core count Xeons and gobbets of memory. That would happily run Linux and could come in at less than $15K.
My life got easier since I put multiprocessing and multithreading support into my analysis code. Most of my compute bound problems scale linearly with core count.
> Most people will never need more than 16GB of RAM to play video games, and 32-64GB will take care of most video editing and 3D modeling tasks. With 256GB of RAM, you could run advanced AI processes
AI, Games and 3D modelling may be popular things, but they don't come close to the space and computationally bounded computational problems that you come across in engineering and physics.
In my case, an arbitrary amount of compute power and memory can be thrown at randomness distinguishability testing and entropy estimation. I'll take all the cores and all the memory available thank you. If you do finite element simulation, you probably have similar concerns.
Yes. That was my point. I was playing the game, not paying attention to the lighting. It looked good, especially compared the to Apple//e sitting next to it.
I played through Metro Exodus with a 2080 ti on a shiny new machine on a 4K monitor.
I remained unaware through the whole experience as to whether RTX was on and if it was, what difference it made. Side by side you might be able to tell, but you don't play games side by side.
Maybe it looks a little better, but if it does, I don't care. The game was pretty good and fun to play, albeit with a stupid ending, which seems normal these days. Issues of frame rate, RTX, DLSS or anything else never really impinged on anything I care about.

5% type II error with a 20 sided dice. You better use three.
So, you've never heard of Keith Bostic, nor of BSD, then?
I heard of BSD. It is that other OS that used to be compiled with GCC.
It used to be compiled with cc.
Well, FWIW, SFO does private screening, so it isn't actually TSA.
Really? It said TSA on the badges the last time I went through.
In 'murica, you just buy a new gun at the other end.
The plural of Lego is Lego.
According to whom?

The vast majority of us don't live in a world where we question & second guess every bite of bread, or breath of air.
Which is perhaps why so many Americans are chronically sick.
AC loves and nurtures his/her leaky gut with regular zonulin spraying and gliadin rubs.

I could name names, but I don't like being sued.

Going around the world in June. I'll rely on relative statistical safety to get me through.
You meant 'a fine' equation, not affine.
If you can't write your own better version of Notepad in 30 mins you don't belong on this site.
It would take more than 30 minutes to find and install a compiler that works on windows.
In Tk in Python on Linux, probably, but I have better things to do.
The spaces make up for all the evil.
But it will stimulate the economy :)
In an inappropriate brexity sort of way.

I see that it is the practice of companies and the government using them as authentication tokens that makes it a problem when they are left on devices.
So they are de facto secrets.
Bullshit.

Having a low user ID is overrated

Really? Then provide yours.
I will when they make it illegal to use them as authentication tokens.
>Social Security numbers, dates of birth, credit card information
None of these things is a secret and should not be used as such.

^ I played the game in my Amazon trousers and all was good. Get over it and your overpriced, "hand wash only", polyester pantaloons.

That sounds alarmingly plausible.
