There are 8.0658*10^67 orders you can shuffle a card deck in.
The math is easy. It’s just 52! if your calculator has that function which is really 525150…32*1. There are 52 possibilities for the first card 51 for the second since you’ve already used one card and so on.
How many decks of cards have been shuffled over human history, or will be is beyond me.
80s millennial here and same. Getting games to run was so much work back in the 90s that I learned about computers. I think I got my first IT job because I was able to install and setup Word.
Not Foundation, but sounds a bit like it. Galactic empire collapses because no one knows how the technology that powers it works anymore.
Free time is tight before and after shift so it’s all about preparation. Clothes are out the night before, meals are prepped before work week starts etc. It’s also important to have a short commute. I’m close and go home on lunch break for an hour to eat and walk the dog.
Some days are real busy but fly by fast. I’m super beat after those. Most I’m more “on call” and just fix problems as they come. I get to work on projects I want to in the down time, or even just chill knowing a big problem is around the corner. IDK hard to explain but it’s worth it for the time off. I think my ideal would be for 10s every week.
Honestly once you get used to 12 hour shifts you come to prefer them. You have half the year off before you factor in vacation and sick leave. There is built in overtime every day. The time doesn’t feel much longer than an 8 hour day.
12 hour night shift was rough. The work hours weren’t bad but it was too hard to get on regular hours on my days off.
I work in the industry and my understanding of the chips act is certain goals must be met in order to receive money. Something like in order to get this 50 million, you must buy 100 million of new equipment and facilities improvement. In order to get this 25 million you must have 50 million worth of new jobs. These requirements were also spread out over years so you couldn’t artificially inflate your work force or sell off equipment.
Not saying Intel doesn’t suck, but I doubt they are getting chips act money now. Or they will have to have a big turn around in the next few years to do so. They certainly aren’t getting a free 8 billion.
I think the 360 failed for the same reason lots of early/mid 2000s PCs failed. They had issues with chips lifting due to the move away from leaded solder. Over time the formulas improved and we don’t see that as much anymore. At least that’s the way I recall it.
Same. I still have Solus on my old laptop but I mostly only use that when I travel. Its the same install I’ve been using since 2018 with no issues. I did not install on my new laptop because hardware wasn’t supported on available install image and it seemed like Solus was on its last legs and not worth jumping through hoops for.
I wear them at work because normally you are only allowed to wear one ear bud to keep awareness but I am deaf in one ear. The clean room suits actually help improve the sound (I think they vibrate a little). I also use them at my desk so people can’t sneak up on me.
At home I use them for phone calls because I don’t sound weird to me unlike regular headphones.
Aptitude has a GUI? I’ve been using it purely CLI for years.
Only if rail can figure out their shit and hire enough workers and give them all time off. Too many train derailments from precision scheduled railroading.
They really pissed me off with their Terry Prachet bundle a few months ago. Only in the small text did it state the books had kobo DRM. I’ve been buying bundles for a decade and never had to worry about DRM before so I didn’t even think to look for it.
Some living things will make it through the extinction event and the next sentient species will fuck it all up again in a billion years or so.
If I had a job where I could work from home I think I’d rather be in the office most of the time but I would appreciate the flexibility. I just really hate zoom meetings. I find most in person meetings can be done a little more spur of the moment and you are in and out in 5-15 minutes where the scheduled zoom meetings are an hour of some upper manager droning on in an attempt to justify their existence.
I’m much happier that 99% of the time I’m physically working on machines and not in face to face or zoom meetings but that’s just been my experience.
This was so confusing. We are doing RTO at work but it means rotating time off not return to office. In general people are pretty happy here to get some extra vacation even if it’s unpaid (we can claim unemployment so it’s not that big of a hit). It’s manufacturing so there’s never been work from home except some management types during peak COVID.
Ahh got it. I don’t use it as regularly as I did 10-20 years ago but I’d still miss it being around.
what happened to pitchfork?
Some people live in areas with poor service even with beefy antennas.
Not with enough server space.
Oh I didn’t notice it did that. thanks for fixing it.
