Why do people buy baguettes?

They taste amazing

Do they make sandwiches with them? How do you even make a sandwich from them?

Cut the baguette along the length. Cut in half. You now have 2 sandwiches

Idk, I’ve never heard a suppressed subsonic shot irl but I’ve seen videos, and I’ve been to protests… I don’t find it that hard to believe that one wouldn’t hear the shot in such a situation. They’re also apparently describing point blank shots where the gunshot and impact would be heard simultaneously. (also in the French article, they use the onomatopoeia “toc” which is more of an impact sound)

I agree it sounds weird though. Why the hell would they go through all that trouble to kill protesters when they already have automatic rifles and the State on their side…

They’re pretty reputable for a mainstream news media, yeah.

I’d take OG doom being bundled with the OS and forever pinned to the taskbar over whatever Windows has been doing with candy crush tbh

It really is a great rugged car

Uh, yeah, I meant 15-20cm per side. Shouldn’t have wrote that before my coffee I guess

Yeah what’s wrong with small pc cases too? My mom had one that was a cube of like 15-20cm per side at work 15 years ago, I’m sure they can make them much smaller now. That would probably be more convenient to maintain, and at least you won’t have to change your keyboard if the PC is broken or vice versa

I’m guessing they don’t have kids. Gaming is also my main hobby and I generally manage to play every day too, but not sure I could with kids

Yes that is probably the case for project managers that are actually held accountable

The difference there is that our project manager guy is afraid they’re gonna go to prison if they don’t let you add those supports and something goes wrong. But for the software dude, building things properly is unfortunately mostly a concern for you and the other software engineers, and mr project manager doesn’t have that much of an incentive to let you do that

Counting offices/public spaces with several repeaters, and then people with some repeaters at home, it might be close though

It’s literally the process of turning the executable back into actual code (albeit usually much less readable than the original code, since symbols are usually stripped from release builds, so the original variables and functions names are lost), so it can do much more than that.

Once you’ve fully decompiled something and understand the resulting code, or even some parts of it, you can basically edit the original source code.

Shit, I actually forgot about garlic bread. My Italian ancestors must be rolling in their graves. You’re right though, shallot and garlic are definitely in a different class than onions

I see you’re a man of culture as well

Them’s fighting words. Shallot > garlic > onion

Calling it “slight” is being generous. Lots of competitive games have almost GTA-level aim assist. There’s nothing inherently wrong with that but it does rub me the wrong way when the controller and keyboard players can end up in the same lobbies, as mouse aiming and controllers aim assists usually play very differently and thus rewards different skills.

I could also probably yap for a while about why I think these differences killed the “old” movement shooters (e.g Quake) and gave rise to CoD’s style of movement shooter

Nowadays “aim assist” is just the name given to the whole suite of controller aim assistances. At least at the studios I worked at. It includes:

• Snap : “snapping” the aim to the closest target. For an easy example, it’s typically very strong in Rockstar games, where you trigger it by simply pressing the aim button
• Tracking : automatically tracks moving targets, if the player is aiming at them (again with a Rockstar games example: this is what happens after the “snap” when you just hold the aim button)
• Head/weakpoint assist : reduces sensitivity when aiming at/around heads (or other weak spots).

These terms are just the ones I use personally, but at least none of my colleagues seemed to think they were too vague or misleading. There are also a lot of other mechanisms but these are the main ones. But I think you’re right in saying that the dramatic snapping assist most games have nowadays have made the head assist mechanism almost redundant (though it is still present in many games, where it can come in handy for minute adjustments after the snap)

Yeah I saw that. It’s weird because I’ve used it without a second thought in tons of different languages and never had issues with it

It certainly makes me question a lot of things. This sub somehow manages to both feed my impostor syndrome and makong me feel like a genius programmer depending on the thread.
