Whenever I try, I get Ravi Bhatia screaming “How can she slap?!”

I’ve spent a lot of time in RPGs, and the last time I RPed in a G was around the time George Bush’s dad was president.

Did he make you manually allocate all the space for food in your stomach before you started to eat?

I feel like I’ll probably watch that Mayfair Witches show starring Alexandra Daddario at some point, but it hasn’t happened yet.

My experience in going from C to C++ was different: if you’re not converting everything from mallocs with custom addressing systems to the collections framework, you’re not living.

They named the bill wrong - it should be Kids’ Act for Online Safety- KAOS.

I hear that Suzie Dent has been looking into this.

When I want to see a broken mod, I just surf over to Reddit.

I didn’t get what you were asking until I started to answer. The parameter is the angle. The algorithm is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CORDIC . In (most?) compiled languages, this algorithm is performed on hardware. In (some?) interpreted languages, it’s done in hardware.

This is what I call a ‘pro grammer move.’
