Lol wouldn't that be epic. IRC becoming a big thing again because discord, whatsapp, and all thr other business social media go to shit.

Isn't EPYC just a different name for Zen 3?

Karma is the total of upvotes and downvotes a user receives over time not just single posts and comments. It leads to discrimantory moderation and users tend to whore themselves out for upvotes to boast.
Ever heard of gallowboob?

Which is honestly freaking dumb. Sure you can do it with a big community but it will speed up the hivemind and alienate new users and frankly did nothing to curb bots because bots just farmed karma elsewhere on a sub where it was open by spamming posts and comments. And then went right back on the "threshold" subs.

It scales pretty easily. A Yak'chal is basically an early version of a cooling tower. And they regularly get used for bigger house complexes.

I came across this exact thing when researching air conditioning. And since I was interested in a good soltution for the tropics these Yak'chals as they're called are basically useless. The tropics regularly have dew points of 26°C and above.
It can kinda work with an elaborate setup and a (liquid) desiccant cycle but in the end you still want the evaporation cooling outside, especially in the tropics where you have legionella practically instantly if you humidify anything indoors. And that will tank the efficiency. But it kinda works. The more humid the weather the hotter the regeneration of the desiccant has to be to work.

Oh wow! The DOJ actually going for it. Can someone enlighten me on wether it's simply a procedural error because there was no approval or if a request for such a thing would be denied anyway?

Why would you write this to disk? RAM can easily hold a 1megapixel bmp

From time to time reddit does a community project, where you have a canvas of 1000x1000 px and every user can set the color of a single pixel with a cooldown period of 5 minutes.
I believe it had the origin in a legend that some guy in the old web sold ad space on a 1000x1000 px canvas for 1$ per pixel and got rich with it.

I mean that's arguably worse, no?

What are the 3 internets?

  1. Original open internet mainly for military and university use?
  2. AOL eternal September? (internet goes public)
  3. Web 2.0 is actually the third iteration because user created content takes off?

That's a variation of a singleton universe timeline.
