I’m assuming it supposed to represent Arlington’s location within the original square District of Columbia, before the Virginia portion was retroceded back to the state.
I imagine it’s because someone commented on it so it shows activity. Dunno how the first commenter found it though. Probably just scrolled all the way back lol.
No you’re thinking of ‘active’, which surfaces posts with recent comments. Just scroll a bit on ‘hot’ and you’ll see it dredges up some old posts, even without recent comments
Girls don’t wanna work in CS because CS boys always be treating the class like a hookup scene. And it’s not every boy, but if there’s 2 girls and 20 boys in the class, and 10% of the boys are being creeps, then you’ve already got a problem.
Parents have gotta stop teaching their sons to see class as a dating opportunity. On campus, sure, but not in the classroom.
512KiB for a game ? Pfffff In the 80’s they ran Elite on a computer that have half of that on RAM A game that simulated the economy of galaxies and rendered 3d graphics !
It’s an impressive game, 100%, but I don’t think the comparison is quite so straightforward. Pokemon had only 8 KB working RAM, 4 shades of colour, and the cart only had 373 KiB stored on it. But the GameBoy CPU was over double the speed of the of the BBC Micro or the Acorn Electron.
Both are really impressive games for their size; though Elite’s no doubt more impressive for its time given Pokemon Red/Green released after 5 years of development to an already quite aged handheld, and ended up undergoing a full revision to patch out the bugs with Pokemon Blue version a half year later.
I think the real king is ET, a multicolor game with a layered gameworld, and detailed graphics on just a 1.2MHz CPU, 128 bytes of RAM, with less than 6KB on the cartridge. The game made a few mistakes that cost it any recognition, but it’s a really impressive game given its hardware and time.
Now that we’ve moved away from reddit can we just bring back emojis already? I know. I KNOW. They’re hated for some silly reason but I’d rather see 😏 than jk or /s in any form ever.
I’m honestly amazed that the no emoji culture on Reddit persisted even after it became super mainstream. But agreed, I actually like emoji for adding emotion/intent indicators to text. I use them all the time in personal conversations and work Slack, but never ever on Reddit for whatever reason haha.
They’ve been a little less militant about it over the last couple of years. Probably because newer/younger users have been rolling in that don’t have the hate for it lol
