Even going as far as calling her husband an asshole (might be true, I'm not married to the dude).

You misunderstood the text, the sentence is :

If only I got a penny for every time someone said: you don’t look like a computer scientist, I could be Mackenzie Scott without having to marry an asshole.

She's calling Jeff Bezos an asshole, not her own husband.

Bash has an option for that you can put in your .bashrc:

bind "set completion-ignore-case on"

Other interesting options exist

"4 chords" is a cool mashup but it's not really a valid point in this conversation.

The songs in "4 chords" don't use the same 4 chords, because they are higher and lower than that. So you might say they use the same progression, but that's not true either, because they're not always constantly in the same order. So the best you can say is "it's possible to interpret pitch- and tempo-adjusted excerpts of these songs back-to-back", which isn't a very strong claim.

In fact there's a lot of things separating the songs in "4 chords"; such as structure, arrangement, rhythm, lyrics, or production. Another fact is that it's perfectly possible to use these four chords in a way that you've never heard before and would likely find bizarre -- it's a bit of meme, but limitation really can breed creativity.

This isn't to defend the lack of creativity in the big music industry. But there's more to it than just saying "4 chords" to imply all musicians do is follow an established grid.

The god that gave His faithful the ten commandments and has His church promise heaven or hell depending on behavior exists outside of morality ? He literally defines it.

War isn't inevitable. Back in the cold war it was averted multiple times, and the USSR had a much more closed economy than China's. China going to war with NATO would lose them all their largest trading partners.

Would you have resources or advice about cooking properly on a stainless steel pan ?

Not sure what you mean, obviously they must provide some bindings for developers to actually use their product.

But it's not enough to offer a solution — you need to get people to use it. Doing it this way means Nvidia has to go out and convince studios to spend the effort, provide assistance if necessary, etc — which plays to its strengths as market leader, because it doesn't require their product to be better, it "just" requires more employees and business contacts.

AMD, being smaller, instead goes for a riskier lower-level approach that needs less contact with developers, hopefully side-stepping the need to extend resources to drive adoption, because games get the feature "for free".

The game also supports NVIDIA Reflex technology, but Unlike Anti-Lag+ which works on a driver level, Reflex is incorporated into the game itself.

This shows how Nvidia's size and money allow it to improve its market position without necessarily having better tech. They may sign deals with game developers to implement Nvidia-exclusive features rather than have to tamper with DLLs and such.
