This is my favorite reason

Not sure about availability or price in AU, but I like “hoplark” non alcoholic beer. Their IPAs are awesome.

Grok here: computers are fine, humans were a mistake

They got really REALLY good at a particular niche. They suck at everything else.

I say this as a loving python parent.

This tracks with my experience. “get really high… Fall off”

Lil goobers.

First 30 seconds of every mission : “I’m going to be soooo sneaky”

The rest of the mission: “Guess I have to kill everybody now”

I’ve been working through the books (just finished Babylon’s Ashes) and I was astounded at how small Drummer’s role was. In the show her character covers Bull, Pa, and probably others I’ve forgotten by now.

Not an engineer but I took calculus 1, 2, 3, discrete math, linear algebra, statics, dynamics, and probably others I’m forgetting.

Since school, I needed one trig function for calculating distance between lat/long coordinates that I looked up on Wikipedia and plugged in to a program.

… Statics was fucking cool though.

I woke up early today so I snuck out of bed quietly and decided to read lemmy on my phone so I don’t wake up the spouse… And then this comment made me snort.

Well played, well played.

I still type ifconfig by habit. Some kid the other day told me that you can judge a person’s age and Linux experience by whether they expect ifconfig and netstat vs ip and ss.

… I’m just glad they kept the parameters the same in ss

behavior that doesn’t align with the C standard … but was introduced by MS

Yep, that tracks. I’m still pissed off about microsoft’s non-standard implementation of HTTP 1.1 from however long ago it was that I had to conditionally work around it on the server side. They believe standards don’t apply to them and it seems like they’re right.

Should have put a H on it so everyone would know.

The sad part is now the thief will get all the hornet honey : /
