Tobacco products were also very popular. Snuff being popular among rich people.
Coca was used as a drug (documented) in 1568.
Additionally laudanum and opium we’re also popular, but they aren’t stimulants afaik.

Not GP, but I get free checked bags with “priority” (so they show up first) and pretty much only check a bag. Sometimes I just check a small carryon item.
I carry a backpack with my laptop and other electronics on the plane and that’s it.
Did you ask the hotel? If you are nice they might wash it for free

Nonsense.
This is actually “better” than valve/itch removing NSFW content from their sites.
As Valve and itch removed them to please a payment provider, whereas, in this instance, Microsoft is complying with the local laws.
If it makes you feel any better, I was a good student and I would also calculate the minimum score needed to pass things and would half ass or skip finals that I only needed a low score for

3·5 months agoTree shaking is essentially reducing the amount of included code to only the stuff being used.
Let’s say you have a JAR, DLL, or whatever with 5 functions.
Your application calls function A which also calls function B of the DLL/jar.
Tree shaking says “hmm, if I follow the code execution path, I only need 2/5 functions from the DLL/jar” and discards the remaining 3/5 functions.
This significantly reduces the bundle size (the bundle is what is sent to the browser).

memes@lemmy.world•Never thought I'd see the day "Intel" and "good GPUs" could be on the same sentenceEnglish
8·6 months agoHighly doubt they will even try to compete with a 5080/5090.
If I was intel, I would release a 5070 competitor much cheaper with more memory.
That is going to cut into nvidias top line even if it’s slightly slower.
In Celestial and Druid I would start targeting *080s and *090s respectively.
Work your way “up” the ladder slowly, so you nail every release.
If they rush it and deliver something that is 5080/5090 priced, but can’t match, they are going to lose their goodwill they have been working towards with Arc and Battlemage…
Patience is the only way to start winning substantial market share from Nvidia.

I don’t understand windows business model for these low end laptops.
They just make windows look bad (not that it’s good).
So many people have “windows slow” imprinted on their brains because they buy a $500 or less computer and expect it to be as good as a 1500 MacBook…
