Highly questioning my life choices here.

Good, this is correct 👍

Is it... (scrolls wheel of browsers) Lynx?

Having to work within such constraints, it really showed me difficulties that modern languages try to entirely abstract away from you. e.g. there are only so many "registers" that physically exist, before you have to start using much slower to access memory locations - a very far cry indeed from automated variable garbage collection!!

Intentionally or it will get caught up in one unintentionally?

Either way: "yes". :-(

It'll happen. Oh uh, I assume, I mean, yeah, totally that's what I mean... :-P

It could also just have been a hot August, leading people to feel lethargic and steal less than they did earlier in the year? (How reliable do we think this data actually is btw?)

Report to mods? That would work, until the next time, and the time after that, and the time after that... Damn fake news is gonna get us all killed (literally, as in climate change), but at least then after everyone dies perhaps we'll learn something from the ordeal. Wait... I might have detected a small problem with this plan (to do nothing at all, and just let it happen).

"very better"? Anyway...

It won't last. Right now it's new, but ultimately it will become an actual initiation ritual to knock it down, or perhaps a harder version to steal something out from under its nose. It doesn't know who you are if you wear a mask (or stay out of its line or sight) and don't carry something broadcasting your IP.

This looks like just security theater.

Meanwhile, aren't cameras cheap? If let's say hundreds of those were sprinkled around, maybe behind an opaque substance so you could also put up 10-100x more of them but 9/10ths being fake, and you swap them around occasionally, that might not be perfect either but could work better than a robot offering a nice, easy, fun target to play with, just like in video games. (Nobody ever enjoys video games these days though, do they?)

I'd take back those words that have hurt you

A choice to be? (If only it were that simple.)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Try assembly then - it'll freaking blow your mind!:-)

Yes they is precisely it. Not to be confused with a Lego party (of blocks), or a Minecraft blocky party.
