  • You can uniquely salt every request trivially, so rainbow tables are effectively useless.

  • XNOR is so ambiguously named.

    Every time, I'm like: The inverse of XOR? Or the inverse of NOR? Oh, right, NOR is already the inverse of OR, so X-NOR is just OR, so XNOR must be the inverse of XOR.

  • Thanks for the reminder. So bad at taking my meds on weekends...

  • It looks so neat!

  • Ooh. Nice. Thanks for that! No idea when I'll need that, but I'm sure it will be useful in a future project.

  • Enough whataboutism, please. The Government has hundreds of MPs; it doesn't make sense for all of them to spend all their time on the same small subset of issues, even if they're critical. Like, it's literally impossible to have that many people at a literal table.

  • It's really helpful for quadratic factoring, too, since knowing at a glance that –56 is ±7 × ±8 keeps your working memory free to actually focus on the mathematical skills/concepts/problem.

  • It's basically "common core" math (in the US), or just "updated curriculum" everywhere else in the world. Turns out that building fluency with math through play and number decomposition is incredibly powerful for long-term learning.

  • What’s on your wishlist for cbc gem shows?

    Jump

  • I want an English-language Taskmaster Canada made. That's not an existing show, though, so not sure if that's what you're going for.

    Taskmaster UK, NZ, and AU are great, but I need more Taskmaster!

  • Canadians are taking a big step back from the U.S. — and here's the data to prove it

    Jump

  • Exactly. People are being abducted off the street by plainclothes "officers" (who's to know?), put in the back of unmarked cars, and disappeared. A Canadian died in detainment from being denied access to live-saving prescription medication.

    Tariffs are so far down my list of reasons for not traveling to the US.

  • They need a bigger screen, too. The Ask! bar, Yahoo bar, Google bar, Bing bar, and browser search bar take up so much space.

  • 4 mm wider than the 10V. :(

    This model series used to be the only decent option for a narrow mid-range phone. Not much separates it from the competition aside from the 3.5mm jack, now. What a shame.

  • What are your top games to emulate on a long trip?

  • I see FFT, I upvote. I love that game so much. I should play it again... It would be perfect for the Deck, too.

  • Please follow the instance rules if you're posting here. Reported for breaking the only rule: Bee Kind.

  • Which handheld should I get?

  • Another consideration is whether you're a "patient gamer". If you want to play the latest and greatest, then I have no idea. But, if you're like me, then there are literally thousands of slightly older games you'd be happy to play.

    If that's you, then you can't beat the Steam Deck for value. With game bundles, I often get 8 games for $10 or less. Even if I only play one, that's incredible value compared with $80 new titles.

    With a tiny bit of work, you can get Epic and GOG working on the Deck, too. If you're a Prime subscriber, you'll get 1-4 GOG/Epic games/week for free in addition to Epic's weekly giveaways and GOG's occasional giveaways. Some of those are AA/AAA games from a few years ago, too.

    If you're tired of AAA games entirely (like me), then the Deck is also likely the best since there are so many incredible indie games. I'd much rather play 20 unique 1-10 hour games than a single 100-hour AAA repetitive slog. And most can be had for $10 or less if you wait for a sale or bundle.

    It's also a great emulation machine for everything Nintendo that came before the Switch and everything else up to the PS2 generation, I guess? (Switch emulation is a bit of a pain to get working well, and for anything 360/PS3 or newer, they mostly have PC versions anyway, I think? I've never had a reason to emulate any of 'em so idk.)

    The OLED has a great screen and great battery life, so I have barely touched my smaller emulation devices since getting it. Why use a tiny device with cramped, limited controls when I can play on a great screen with Steam Input (so I can easily write my own game macros, or use the back buttons on twin stick games instead of the face buttons so I never need to take my thumbs off the joysticks, etc.)

    I guess if you actually want a device on the go, then something smaller might be better, but for longer trips the Deck works great in my laptop bag, and for short, mobile gaming breaks, I'll just play Minion Masters or Space Cadet Pinball on my phone.

  • Yeah; that's not much time, and I'm not a lawyer, but this seems a complicated legal question. I just assumed any tool that circumvents any sort of digital lock would be hosting in countries that DGAF about US laws. Even better if they have a .onion address to avoid any network blocking attempts, like z-library.

  • Poilievre says Carney's moving in the 'wrong direction,' pledges to 'legalize' pipelines

  • Poilievre said the Sovereignty Act would also include his campaign promise to exempt people from capital gains tax when they reinvest the proceeds of an investment in a Canadian company.

    This one is insane. The 1% would accumulate so much more wealth, tax free, with this. JFC.

  • NASA says its Mars rover may have found evidence of ancient life

  • Film 1 is the crew desperately trying to make it home in the prologue and dying, then the alien mind control worms slowly take over a NASA research facility until it's finally eradicated in the closing scene, with Sigourney Weaver the lone human survivor. But if you wait until after the credits, you get a 5-second teaser of a single worm wriggling out through a crack in the side of the facility.

  • It really is

    Jump

  • A similar strategy works great for me, but I frame it slightly differently based on my personal anxieties:

    • I'm procrastinating this important task because it's overwhelming
    • But I can't think about anything else because I'm worried I'm going to forget to do part of the task/some important detail
    • To be able to relax about this, I'll just write down a list of things I need to get done/don't want to forget

    Then, often, I'll realize there's a small part of the project that I am motivated to get done now so it's not looming over my head anymore. Or, if not, I've given myself a Hemingway Bridge to starting the task whenever I do have motivation.
