My speculation? They'll call it HL4 and then just say that HL:A was technically HL3

What do you mean I'm not supposed to add 0x5f3759df to a float casted as a long, bitshifted right by 1?
My first exposure to the internet was at a time that I like to call the "early modern internet" (early 2000's). I do have some nostalgia for that time, but I think times were also simply different.
For instance, there's just less content on the internet at the time, and whatever content there was was harder to find. The positive is that the internet felt more genuine. Nowadays, I think people have gotten into the habit of self-censoring, presumably at the gentle pressuring of big tech companies, and that has led to even indie content creators producing what feels like safe, corporate content.
My personal belief is that culture is shaped by logistical challenges. The challenges of the early modern internet are not the same as the challenges now. We don't need to return to a 2000's-era internet, and I don't think that's even possible. But at least we can reintroduce genuineness by resisting corporate influence where we can. Presumably that's why we're on Lemmy
Unrelated rant, but does anyone else find that graphics cards nowadays are way too thick to be aesthetic? They look more like bricks than cards. And it's not like you need such a large cooler for a low-wattage card, so presumably manufacturers are only doing this for the aesthetic. But does anybody actually like that look?
Anyways, the 2-slot card in the OP feels like a semblance of sanity
I recognize the original, unmodified meme but I don't understand what the new (4th) panel is supposed to indicate. Could someone explain please?
Dose makes the poison. Most bitter flavors (that you eat) aren't really meant to discourage you from eating them, it's really meant for insects.
Plant: I will make an unappetizing flavor to prevent myself from getting eaten
Humans: finally, some good fucking food
If this is how you treat men, then the OP appears to be one of the smaller problems that you may have
The best thing to do is to not see gender. Treat women the same way that you treat men. I mean that in the most literal sense, not in an "equal rights" sense (though you definitely should make sure that's true as well).
Do you know the uncanny valley? It's the idea that things that appear close-but-not-quite human are offputting. Something similar happens in social conversations as well. People are very good at subconsciously detecting subtle signs of incongruity between your tone, body language, and spoken words. For instance, if you are nervous but act blasé. There will be subtle signs, like in how you phrase sentences or your tone, that will be noticeable, and people will think that you are hiding something. And people may find it strange and offputting.
It's the same reason why pick up artists appear creepy - people can detect that their intentions and worldview don't match with their exterior façade.
I couldn't finish the game myself. I thought it was a good game for sure, but it just isn't something that I like. I'm not much of a hack-n-slasher. As far as rhythm game genre mashups go, my favorite is still Crypt of the Necrodancer
Lots in biology research, since biologists tend not to be good coders. That being said, the requirements for biology are rather interdisciplinary and a serious position will likely require you to also have advanced biological knowledge. Based on my impressions, you'll basically be playing biologist for 50% of the time and programmer for the other 50%.
The problem with dark matter is that we don't know what it is. If it's a particle, then presumably there probably would be an antiparticle for it. However, we don't actually know if it's a particle or not.
There's some hypotheses that say that dark matter doesn't physically exist, and that our theories of gravity are just incomplete. There's some other hypotheses that say that dark matter might be really small black holes. And then there's some hypotheses that say that dark matter is a particle. Until we find out more about what it is, we simply can't say for sure what sorts of properties it has
