I'm also on Mastodon as https://hachyderm.io/@BoydStephenSmithJr .
Vocabulary question X + shell + powder = bullet, what is X?
Because usually the threat is that X will be delivered through use of powder the destination of the shell is ambiguous but not included in the delivery.
When you deliver while (unfired) bullets it's generally not considered a threat.
The DJIA (e.g.) isn't "the house". It isn't something you are competing with in that your losses are its/their gain. You are misunderstanding both investing (in general and the stock market specifically) and gambling when you make that confusion/analogy.
Not beating the market but having positive returns is only "losing" when infinite exponential growth is the goal. Beating the market but having negative returns is not "winning".
Just because you are wrong about your expected value calculations (or were right but the actual return was on the lower end of the range) and have made a bad investment doesn't change the fact that it was an investment because you were doing it for the returns.
In short, performance doesn't matter for this distinction, at least IMO.
The other suggestions are probably better, but you can technically self-host Wire (from Wire Gmbh) but I've never done it successfully.
Cube theory clearly established that hot dogs are tacos. It's all based on the location of structural starches.
IMO: When you do it for the entertainment/feeling/rush, it's gambling. When you do it for the returns, it is investing. I also think the other poster that mentioned investing as being interested in the success of the endeavor, that would exclude shorting and I think might be a useful distinction.
Casino games and sports betting all have lower expected value (probabilistic value) than their cost, so they are not something you can do for returns (you have better expected returns by not participating).
There are plenty of people that are misinformed, dishonest, or stuck finding a bigger fool that will sell you a gamble by calling it an investment, and expected value is not guaranteed value.
My quinoa, beans, and almond milk diet scores well. My popcorn snacks don't, but I'm not focusing on macros there, but rather volume/kcal.
Born 1980. I don't have a traditional wallet, but I do carry a combination card holder (which has my ID) and money clip. I think some people are simplifying that to ID in pocket and all payment methods on phone (tap or app).
Generations are mostly BS anyway. Carry a wallet or not according to your needs and preferences.
Born in 1980, modded Minecraft is still a great game.
I know a few YTers by name (a few of the ones I subscribe to), but I tend to avoid "drama" and haven't been interested in the most popular YT content since Gangdam Style.
New messages will show on all your devices, but yes, it is intentional that old messages are not available to new devices.
The academy has been using the term "AI" for a while now for things that are much less sophisticated than the current/popular generation of media generators. I took an "Artificial Intelligence" class as part of my undergrad around the turn of the century.
It is confusing though, since sentience and intelligence are synonyms in the right context, but no AI has shown any good evidence of being a non-human sentient being.
When MS was pushing the Bing challenge with TV ads, it really was quite close. I did the challenge and Google "won" (only) 3/5 of my test searches.
Of course Bing already had a hilariously incorrect "AI" interfering with the first page of results for a week or two before Google decided to further fsck up their search with LLM response generation.
Web assembly ? It's not driven only by Google, but I think they have been involved.
Late to the party. Idris had a bash backend (i.e. you could compile Idris to bash), and it's already bit rotted with new Idris versions.
I hope the language is at least as cool as Idris.
I think of the Carlin bit... It's the American Dream because you have to be asleep to believe in it.

I believe it, but I came to the comments to check.
In the U.S., laws that disadvantage specific entities are generally considered to not be following the "equal protection" part of the (amended) constitution.
Countries without (their own) laws prohibiting it can (and do) prohibit specific services.
Member states of the WTO (like the U.S.) have agreed to allow themselves to be sued for lost profits based on any (new) laws they pass.
But, I'm no expert -- this is just the view from my (potentially misinformed) corner of the world.
Same switch point for me, roughly, going from a Pixel 4 with jack to a Pixel 7 without.
There are situations where I prefer BT earbuds over wired buds, and I haven't tried the adapters, yet, but I still long for a audio jack: it's a lot quicker to switch my buds from work laptop to personal phone when they are wired.
I will look for a audio jack when buying my next phone... maybe someone will have figured a way to "hack" one into a Fairphone body?
Arkansas here; used Rolly-Polly as childhood name for isopods.
[Meta] (H)Ask Anything Thread?
On /r/Haskell there was a pinned, monthly thread so that people could ask questions without creating a new top-level post.
- I'd like to increase traffic to here (or some other Haskell Fediverse threaded-conversation group). Do you think a thread like that might help?
- Does pinning work here? It's probably not necessary given the posts/month currently, but I suppose it's something to keep in mind.
- Anyone got a link to Lemmy/KBin/ActivityPub Haskell library that I could use to write a bot, or some other way to schedule a post for yyyy-mm-01T00:00:00Z ?
