Unfortunately, I see a police car in her immediate future.

I mean, what do you do in a drive through when you get to the window to pay and it's like 3x more expensive than you expected? Just drive away? I'm sure that's what people would argue, while completely ignoring that it's a massive social taboo and 99% of people would just pay because of social pressure.

Also, what happens if the place starts making the food after you order, but before you pay (so you can get your food more quickly and efficiently!). Have you committed theft, or defrauded the business by deciding not to pay? I mean probably not, but I'd hate to be the first person sued to test if it holds up in court.

Yeah, but have you seen Swifties? God damn...

Funny

It's pretty shocking that they also tried to fly him straight back to the US instead of to a hospital in South Korea for treatment. Maybe things would've turned out differently if they'd done that?

Sure, but Planetside 2:

• Was specifically designed with that goal in mind
• Still runs like shit with loads of people

Presumably they have at least one person who passed their realtime programming course

You guys have courses for that? I just set CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=Y and go about my day.

You're right, but I feel like even without the hyperloop, the government (or other rich fucks) would find some way to avoid building a train line. Trying and failing to build a hyperloop was just a convenient excuse.

Pretty sure they mean that most people won't have any use for an FPGA outside of this niche context, whereas just using software emulation on a general-purpose computer means you don't need a specialized gadget that can't really be repurposed when you get bored or whatever (whereas a general-purpose computer could be).

God I wish I could forget everything and play Shadowbringers again

Unfortunately, building and operating 'The Torment Nexus', is very good for the economy.

Free software is better IMO, that's probably what the original comment meant.
