Not really a problem with UDP itself, but with some very old protocols like DNS that rely on UDP but can’t be changed because of compatibility. If you’re writing a new service that uses UDP, there’s nothing stopping you from designing it so that it doesn’t provide an opportunity for bandwidth amplification.

The fact that most universities will graduate CS majors without ever teaching them how to use a debugger, build system, or version control system shows how useful they are to actual engineering work.

we evolved to be capable of thriving on a wide variety of diets

”An omnivore is an animal that has the ability to eat and survive on both plant and animal matter.” - Wikipedia

future generations will look back on eating meat as a barbaric mistake

Primates, including humans, evolved to be omnivorous. In the 200,000 year history of the homo sapiens species, only the most recent 3% have had the benefit of agriculture. Even then, only 0.1% have had the benefit of the industrial revolution which could in theory provide enough calories and nutrients for all humans with a purely herbivorous diet.

I prefer A Sale of Two Titties

lawbreaking while driving is widespread on American streets to a level so extreme…

Is this not the case everywhere? If anything, speeding, distracted driving, and running stop signs / ignoring traffic signals is much more common in other parts of the world.

Closing scene of The Kingdom, relevant as ever.

Good thing we still have Keanu.

The lack of breaks is the main reason I don’t see movies in theaters anymore.

Top Gun Maverick did it perfectly IMO.

I was using cat6 as a stand-in for “all the bad stuff”. There’s never been a category 6 hurricane before.

Insurers aren’t really to blame here. Florida is a fundamentally high-risk place to build and live now, and will continue to get worse for the foreseeable future due to climate change. Even a non-profit insurer would need to price Florida insurance at a premium, lest its funds be exhausted when the inevitable category-6 hurricane hits the state.

Arguably the ones most to blame (after the fossil fuel industry, for putting us in this position in the first place of course) is corrupt politicians and developers who allow such shoddy construction in the state in the first place.

wtf did I just read

temporary detransition

That’s a very strange way to phrase it. I wish we could just recognize that sex and gender can be orthogonal properties of an organism.

Only if they are well-known in the language you’re using or domain you’re writing for. x and y are fine for coordinates. i and j are fine for loop indices. But abbreviating things unnecessarily is bad IMO. s = GetSession() is too terse, for example.

Did nobody stop to think that maybe the value of A24 comes from the fact that they’re not making bland action blockbusters?

The preview image looks like the lady on the right just let loose the most foul stench imaginable and the other two are being forced to deal with it.

TFW you roll a natural 1 on your background.

I think you meant IAbstractBlahBlahManagerFactoryControlBeansHandlerFactoryFactory6ProxyHandlerAsync_Compat3, and of course its test counterpart, IAbstractBlahBlahManagerFactoryControlBeansHandlerFactoryFactory6ProxyHandlerAsync_Compat3::FakeMockVirtualDeviceTestManagerBeansFactory2_HACK_DO_NOT_USE
