I'd argue lexicographically it would be 0000 and 0001 for the first two sets of 4 digits. If you're looking for combinations w/o replacement, it would be 0123 and 0124.

I've definitely caught myself writing cumTotal += value; in my code before.

Agreed. Also, the cinematography in s2e2 was out of this world. I almost couldn't pay attention to the plot because I kept thinking "holy fuck, ther framing and lighting of this scene is amazing!" Definitely an inspired work.

I don't recall what the default behavior is with the linker, but it might also benefit from at least thin LTO.

Gosh, this is almost my experience directly. Somehow managed to convince the developer of the Thieves World MUD that I, a young teenager, would love to program & contribute for the game. Then he said "do you know linux", to which I did not, and that's the day that I started to learn. That MUD experience got me my first real job (I showed my boss-to-be my CVS checkins), and some 30 years later, I'm still writing low-level C++ professionally.

I'm exceedingly loving the combat design in Dawntrail, so I guess they took some good lessons from EW. That said, I do think CoD P2 is a bit too difficult for what they were aiming for. Two phases of P1 difficulty (mostly personal responsibility & quick reactions) or even very slightly harder, would be absolutely perfect for PF.

I guess I'm still not understanding it. Time to pour over the picture some more, see if we can't figure it out.

I'm confused. Haven't error correction codes like this been around since the 60s?

I'm pretty excited to see the Hildi plot for these patches to play out. There's a lot of potential gold in this setup!

Back in August '22, I weighed about 270 lbs @ 6'0 (122.5 kg, 183 cm). I realized this was dangerously unhealthy so I asked my doctor if there was any drug options for helping me change habits. As my insurance didn't cover weight loss, the doc opted for Phentermine. It drastically cut my food cravings and with exercise I've been losing weight steadily since. Down to 215 lbs now and the physical benefits are great: no more constant GIRD, can bend over without discomfort, etc.

It is funny though, just finally barely breaking the obese barrier (30 bmi) and people say "and you still want to lose more weight??" My goal is 180.

Edit: As an aside, how fucked is it that insurance companies don't cover weight loss; wouldn't covering it reduce their costs over time?

Did that dragoon Stardiver Titan? Also, that last clip really brings back the PTSD of ARR; additionally, I wonder how the voices are to be handled.

Starsector is amazing, even though buying it on the website made me wonder if the storefront was made in the 90s.
