you gais kaine up in here?

 

[AgonyandIrony]

New trailers. I'm so friggin excited.



Rereading Abolitionist again to get ready for it. Legit I was a bit cautious about the first trailer but now I'm over the moon.

don't feel like posting this in a more serious tech forum at the moment as just wondering off top of my head

What is the origin of the word "binary" when specifically referring to a compiled executable file ? Like when a downloads page leads you to downloadable binaries for their software.

I understand the origin of the word binary in its other meanings but not this one. Anyone?

That is a lot of clogged toilets.

Fixed

At the most fundamental level, all computer code has to be changed from whatever the programmer types in into ones and zeros so it can be manipulated by the computer hardware. That process is what is referred to as compiling (open to being corrected if I'm wrong but that's my attempt at a surface level description). So, since it's all just ones and zeros at that point, it's a binary.

Edit: that's why quantum computers could be such a big leap since currently no other computers can deal with more than 2 choices for any bit, 1 or 0--on or off in the case of the transistor that physically represents each bit on the circuit board.

What are the pros and cons of that? How much meat do you actually get? How easy/hard is it? How much space do you use for it?

I have done just a little reading and its generally presented as entry level livestock which makes it appealing. On the other hand, slaughtering rabbits? I feel sad just thinking about it.

For me there aren't any cons. The daily effort is extremely minimal; feed and water twice a day, clean out their enclosure as needed. Rabbit droppings make an absolutely fantastic fertilizer that requires no cooling off like chicken or pig does. Rabbits almost seem like they evolved to be livestock. They are easy and cheap to care for (especially if you have a decent garden), they are silent, minimal odour, ridiculously easy to dispatch if you have the right set up. They are the easiest animal I've ever encountered to skin. The only thing I'd classify as a downside is that if you butcher they at the optimum age for meat development/quality their hides are virtually useless, so I usually grow them for an extra couple of months so I can tan the hides without worrying about them falling apart. The downside to that is cost for feeding them as their weight per $ invested slows down and the meat isn't as tender.

So for a small investment of space, time and money a breeding trio will give you 75-100 rabbits a year. All clean, super lean, high in protein hormone free meat.

It's about to be. I have right more hours of this bullshit. Going to be mixing drinks in the office around four.

Did I have a friggin stroke? What the hell are you guys talking about?

 

[irish_thug]

I don't think guns were ever an agricultural implement though.

Sure they're tools but to be more clear and specific they're weapons.

My guns aren't weapons. They are tools used to protect my livestock, assist with dispatching them in a human way and supplement the meat in my freezer.

 

[irish_thug]

Would you call a bomb a tool?

Yup. Used for quick and easy excavation.

OTism

 

[AgonyandIrony]

Turns out the dude who shot himself in the dick posted shit like this all the time and I can't stop laughing. A tool used a tool to blow off his tool.

That boy ain't got no dick anymore lmao.

OTism

Fucking solid.

Thanks! Yeah that makes sense. If it is just a precompiled source file of C code it is not yet in the 1s and 0s the machine understands in order to execute. After it is compiled then it is in 1s and 0s and thus an executable binary.
