at least, not with my 1080p monitors, which I prefer over higher-res ones

Blasphemy!

4k monitors are beautiful for normal desktop usage, making text crisp and clean with smooth curves and none of that blockiness that comes from low resolution, and with modern scaling settings you can even have 4K text and 1080p graphics at the same time with the same performance as native 1080p.

Born too late to watch the collapse of the Russian empire, born too early to watch the collapse of the Russian empire, born just in time to watch the collapse of the Russian empire.

Nobody went and flipped the breaker for the jacuzzi? People like that obviously need practice dealing with inconveniences.

Mint 21.3 might be a bit too 'stable' for your new GPU.

Linux graphics move fast. You generally won't have a good experience with an older distro and a brand new GPU.

IIRC, pumping hydrogen is only fast if the pump has a substantial rest between vehicles. Get a line of FCEVs wanting filled and you're looking at filling times not much faster than charging a battery EV.

The devs have been working hard to hammer out those troublesome edge cases. There's a lot less of them than there was a year or two ago.

IIRC Nvidia needs explicit sync support to work reliably. It's fairly new and might not have landed in some distros, especially the stable releases.

Russia's actual nuclear policy has been "fire nukes if Putin says so" for decades. This paperwork doesn't represent a real change.

No, it's the opposite - they're saying that this isn't a change in Russia's behaviour.

IPv6 has privacy addresses, though. Stuff on my network generates a new random address every day and uses that address for outgoing connections, so you can't really track individual devices inside my network.

IPv6 has a policy of throwing more address space at stuff to make routing simpler, though.

IPv4 will individually route tiny slices of address space all over the world, IPv6 just assigns a massive chunk of space in the first place and calls it a day.

 

In this paper, we aim to answer a long-standing open problem in the programming languages community: is it possible to smear paint on the wall without creating valid Perl?

We answer this question in the affirmative: it is possible to smear paint on the wall without creating a valid Perl program. We employ an empirical approach, using optical character recognition (OCR) software, which finds that merely 93% of paint splatters parse as valid Perl. We analyze the properties of paint-splatter Perl programs, and present seven examples of paint splatters which are not valid Perl programs.
