Oh you mean that the number 256 overflows into 0 in 8-bit range. My joke was leaning more into the idea that when you use all 256 possible bit combinations (1111 1111), it can represent -1 in signed integer formats. Even though 255 is the highest number you can directly represent, there are still 256 total combinations, including zero, so IMO, the joke works.

I’m not sure what you’re implying with this. But how did you dig this up anyway?

Yeah, I mean, sort by controversial is there for a reason.

Sick burn and true, we have so few comments that we read all of them anyway.

Ultimately, it’s supposed to be used to make post/comments less visible, for whatever reason.

Curved relative to what?

Edit: Nvm, I understood what you mean. But I think it’s a pedantic take. They obviously mean it in the context of the surface of the sphere.

Idk about “so many” other instances, but this post is clickbait. Company just hired 2 cosplayers for entertainment and didn’t claim they were robots. It’s no different from what Musk did for his robot reveal.

Nobody was busted, this is a clickbait post. Even the article just says they hired 2 cosplayers as entertainers, company never pretended that they were robots.

-1?

There aren’t that many. A good chunk of us here are Linux nerds. You don’t have to be condescending about confronting (I assume) intentional misinterpretation of comments.

I suppose, at this point, I want to understand whether you accidentally misinterpreted the context of the original comment (downloading .exe from TPB) or intentionally misinterpreted it for “comedic effect”.

So is your point to argue semantics?

“Downloading” colloquially referes to the proces of saving some data onto persistent storage device. When you open HTML pages they are loaded directly into RAM. They might be saved to drive if they are cached. But no regular person would refer to that process as downloading. Even I, as a webdev, don’t.

In that case your comment doesn’t make much sense, because when people say “don’t trust that torrent site” they mean the contents of the torrents hosted there. In fact, if you use magnets, you don’t download anything at all from torrent sites ever.

Don’t you ever pirate software?

I think it’s implied that the other muffin screams cause it’s surprised by a talking muffin.

The dev was like:

I’ve spent months learning to write physics for a gamedev project and they assign me to Solitaire?! I learned physics and they are gonna get physics.

That’s not how it works. If the society tells him that he wrong and rightfully punished, kid will likely just accept that reality.

Edit: what the? Why am I downvoted? I suppose you guys haven’t lived in middle-eastern countries.

Well, I’m pretty sure there were instances where Mario and Bowser cooperated. But it doesn’t matter, because even if only 2 answers make sense, the joke already works.

Riding somebody is a double entendre, often used as sexual innuendo beyond the literal sense of riding, like on a horse.
