it is electronic

2018-09-27 14:02:31 UTC  

I suppose

2018-09-27 14:02:49 UTC  

I don't think robot wars was ever considered an esport tho

2018-09-27 14:03:07 UTC  

we didnt say esports back then

2018-09-27 14:03:11 UTC  

true

2018-09-27 14:03:50 UTC  

listen, you need drone cams on your robot controller so you can play this sport at a safe distance

2018-09-27 14:04:04 UTC  

preferably hundreds of yards away

2018-09-27 14:04:16 UTC  

it needs an array of wide angle cameras

2018-09-27 14:04:18 UTC  

big box retail space is about to become very cheap and useless

2018-09-27 14:04:21 UTC  

for full 360 view

2018-09-27 14:04:43 UTC  

if you can afford it, thats fine, but all you really need is a driver cam and a turret cam

2018-09-27 14:06:26 UTC  

in BattleBots im guessing it was too long ago to be using wifi, so they probly used radio, and therefore can only be so far away that a plastic window will protect them

2018-09-27 14:06:55 UTC  

but now we can blow live ammunition from killer toys over WiFi just like the military does

2018-09-27 14:07:18 UTC  

it's true that it's a sport few people could afford to play

2018-09-27 14:08:17 UTC  

you lose when you get TD'd, and the easiest way to TD will be to take out the computer, so you're buying a new chip

2018-09-27 14:08:45 UTC  

does not that sound like fun

2018-09-27 14:13:26 UTC  

I suppose if it became a popular esport you would get sponsorships and shit

2018-09-27 14:22:10 UTC  

yeah sponsorships from the leading arms manufacturers

2018-09-27 14:24:43 UTC  

although of course it would probly be limited to having specially designed small low-velocity HE rounds that cant kill at a given distance

2018-09-27 14:36:13 UTC  

@picnicnapkin it's a joke

2018-09-27 16:56:41 UTC  

i haven't been keeping up with this, can i get a quick rundown?

2018-09-27 17:00:20 UTC  

Im still looking for a good overall summary of everything thats happened so far

2018-09-27 17:00:48 UTC  

*why not just scroll up several days and read all my linkdumps?* <:pepe_smug:378719408341909506>

Linus says his problem is he doesnt understand emotions. I believe he is wrong.
I think he does not understand *emotional imbalance*.

2018-09-27 17:33:26 UTC

2018-09-27 18:51:00 UTC  

@M4Gunner @z80 Apparently, Linus did an interview on bbc about this.

2018-09-27 18:51:25 UTC  

Link?

2018-09-27 18:51:36 UTC  

The Net?

2018-09-27 19:02:58 UTC  

@M4Gunner @z80 Shit, it seems like he's been pressured into this.

2018-09-27 19:03:08 UTC  

yeah, I read

2018-09-27 19:03:15 UTC  

🤦

2018-09-27 19:03:36 UTC  

yeah i fail to see where he illustrates a problem in himself

2018-09-27 19:03:52 UTC  

"i have a problem, i think logically"

2018-09-27 22:54:54 UTC  

whao his wifes a blackbelt

2018-09-27 23:14:10 UTC

2018-09-27 23:14:23 UTC

@M4Gunner @z80 @Deleted User It seems the exodus from Linux has begun. My roommates research group with one of our professors was talking about how ODL, the main firmware for layer 2 switches, and it is based on Linux, had nearly it's entire group of maintainers quit because of the new CoC.
