“Vous” is the first one that comes to mind in french. But since it is also a more formal (and/or “respectful”) version of “tu/toi”, it can both designate a group of people or a single person, depending on the context (just like “you” in English). Sometimes people will use “vous tous” (literally “you all”) to make this clear.

It is a little better than the “you” situation in English since if you are speaking with someone that is not using the singular form of “vous” to speak about you (which is basically anyone you are familiar with unless they are your boss or In-laws and kind of oldschool), it is instantly clear what they mean at least.

Nah I’m depressed but still curious af

This. I didn’t spend nearly 1000 bucks on hardware that ensures that I basically spend more time on the POST screen than on the rest of the entire boot sequence to keep the thing on 24/7

I keep joking that we should make video games mandatory for millionaires when this subject comes up but I legit think that playing some grindy game or management games would make this type of people less greedy to some degree, because at their core they appeal to our seemingly primal urge of always hoarding more resources.

En vrai ce serait intéressant d’avoir la proportion de gens qui se disent non racistes qui sortent ce genre de phrase sans pression

Yeah they usually have the most dramatic impact on games that have bad CPU optimization, which is a lot of them tbh

I think the 5700x3d is the first one they made, iirc it outperformed even the high end CPUs from the next generation in quite a few benchmarks, but probably not the 7000 gen. If you want to keep the possibility of upgrading, I would advise against the 5700x3d because that’s basically already the best for this socket. By all accounts it’s great value for its price though.

You should try to go for a Ryzen “3D” variant with extra cache if you can spare the extra money, it works wonders on some games. I’ve had no issues with mine (7900x3d) so far on Linux

Whenever I see someone doing that I can’t help but question their sanity

Best I can do is Magic Mike. Can’t think of any men’s clothes brand that targets women with its advertising, let alone an underwear brand.

Yeah, the carefree mood of preproduction is definitely the best part

Also it really fucks with some peripherals. I even had a motherboard with RGB lights (don’t judge me, it was actually cheaper than the “normie” version I originally wanted) that didn’t turn off the lights and the fans because of this shitty feature. I never got around to investigating who was doing things wrong between Microsoft and the manufacturer in this case though, I just got into the habit of holding shift while clicking the shutdown button.

I have never volunteered to count or observe elections. However I am a professional programmer, and I absolutely agree, electronic voting opens up tons of new attacks, whereas paper voting “security” is basically a solved problem at this point

Nothing about game development is “easy”

They are very precise, cover the whole french territory, are all in the same format, follow the same standards and the paper maps are not too expensive. There are topographical maps at a 1:25000 scale, and roadmaps at a 1:250000 scale. And these paper maps are as sturdy as they can be, my dad has been rocking some of them for almost his entire life.

I guess I just get too excited about state funded institutions that provide good service to the public and still exist in 2024. Them paper maps can really be a lifesaver when you’re hiking in the more remote parts of France though

Also IGN (Institut géographique national) maps are amazing

Who needs 1000hz 4k when 120hz 2k is already stupidly expensive to achieve with most AAA games

Looks fine

Yes, stocks were made to finance human businesses and be traded between humans to exchange “parts” of a company easily. I’m not fond of capitalism but I can’t deny that the stock market provides value under this system. But I don’t see where high frequency trading actually brings any of the value it “generates” into this.

My main issues with our current brand of capitalism is that money can be very far removed from reality, with things like greenhouse gasses emissions being effectively “free” even though they affect everyone on the planet, including our economic systems. So, the way I see it, it heavily incentivizes short term profits at the cost of basically everything else. Unless we regulate the hell out of it I guess, but apparently that is a sin against the free market

Sure, it’s probably only worth it for huge banks that hook almost directly into transcontinental internet cables (to which my anti capitalist ass would say, that’s probably why it’s legal), but to me, that still basically generating some profits by exploiting a “glitch” in the implementation of stock trades while bringing absolutely no real value to the system.

Also high frequency trading generating money from dips/spikes in stocks’ values that are too short lived to affect anything on a human scale. And banks lending money (and thus generating interests from it) they don’t actually have yet but I think it’s related to the fiat currency thing ?
