I'm not quite sure what the advantage of doing it that way is

If I had to guess, it just kept the programmers from being super lazy about it. If the individual enemy AI doesn't have exact coordinates of the player, it actually has to move around, search a space, potentially manipulate the environment, and possibly fail to find the player, versus doing what is effectively an idle animation while waiting for the player to step out of cover.

I'm with you. She's especially great at physical comedy. Reminds me a lot of Lucille Ball in I Love Lucy. Not to mention, she's a complete 90s fashion icon.

Her later work as president of the Screen Actor's Guild showing solidarity and striking with the writers made me a fan before I ever watched the show.

Complete non-story. The Deck has been out for years for this verification to mature and it's usually less about specs (in the age of FSR/DLSS etc.) and more about "can this game be played with this control scheme comfortably" which is not an issue for the Steam Machine since it's just a PC.

For me it was a hard drive full of DS9 rips passed around the CS department.

So, the answer to the question “Can Linux directly host another Unix-like operating system’s binary interface?” at the moment is “partly, experimentally, and impressively.”

As if there was any question on that? You can have Linux "handle" Windows PE binaries by telling it to invoke wine, dealing with a Unix-like scenario is a much lower bar.

The question is who is this useful for? FreeBSD has the Linux compatibility layer because it's playing catch up to Linux, but the Venn diagram of stuff FreeBSD can do but Linux can't is tiny, especially if extra special kernel feature stuff is stubbed.

Can anyone name a project that is BSD first, doesn't rely on BSD kernel features, doesn't have a native Linux port, and isn't a distro tool?

I sat down to watch it, then realized during the recap that I'd bailed 3 episodes into season 2. I might go back... Might not bother. It's GOT without the characters that made GOT worth watching.

I find this image hilarious, but Dr. Who is so wholesome most of the time it's hard for me to imagine Sisko getting more than mildly annoyed by his antics.

This is definitely about the D language, I just haven't heard anything about in a long time (since Rust ate its lunch) and nothing about it using AI or long time devs leaving.

Was there drama with D? I'm out of the loop...

I think M-M-Monster Kill is more appropriate, even if it's just one guy.

Do you think benchmark results like these are meaningful when comparing Linux distributions?

Almost never. Bumping the minimum architecture version and optimization levels is all well and good, but unless you're doing tons of vector oriented workloads it's not going to qualitatively make a difference.
