The Pathfinder version of this meme is the same, they’re just all wearing a rainbow flag.

Let’s see… You recognize that you have been a less than great person in the past, but are wanting to become better. There is probably a specific person who has inspired you on this path. However, internally you feel pulled a lot of different ways and like you are not always consciously in control of yourself.

I’m pretty certain the first computer I installed Linux on was a Pentium 75 with 4MB of RAM. I know I ran it on some 486s booting off floppys at work. We were at 10,000 feet and couldn’t trust the lifespan of spinning rust.

I got a Bosch a year ago and love it. Super quiet, super clean. But my favorite feature is that it cracks the door open after running so that every has a chance to air dry. I run it at night and when I wake up everything is fury dry, even plastic containers.

Can confirm. Source: am currently on vacation after yoloing a release on Friday.

Having been there and heard the real story about why it is the way it is, the Winchester house makes a lot of sense.

Sadly, no. It was quite real. I was given some while trick or treating as a kid.

Same here. I can’t figure out why anyone uses based on what I read.

It only affects people who are cross compiling for 32-bit Windows from Linux. Considering that the last 32 bit only x86 CPU came out over 20 years ago, I bet you can count the number of people who will be affected by this on one hand.

Our first past the post +presidential election system means that a third party, particularly a splinter third party will just pull votes from the not as terrible party, strengthening the opposition parties electoral strength. Funding third parties in close races to split the opposition has been a strategy of both Republicans and Democrats.

Thanks, I hate it.

Yeah, the people having problems with Brother printers aren’t saying that they aren’t working, but rather that print quality is bad. With it appearing to happen to just a few people my guess is that a few poor quality cartridges went out from a third party factory. Give it a week or two if you can and we’ll find out for sure.

Only sorta related, but now I have an excuse to tell my anecdote…

One job ago I had a manager who decided that he would convert some of our helper scripts from bash to Python for reasons. I was new there and so didn’t realize what he was doing, or that he had started the process just as I was going through orientation. However, I ended up being the reviewer for the PR.

This was the worst Python I had ever seen but in such odd ways and it mostly worked. It almost felt like it was written by someone who knew bash really well but had never learned any other languages, or thought that bash was just so damn good that he wanted to turn every other language into it. For example, instead of using argparse he was manually looping through argv and parsing them one at a time. And instead of using a standard for each in foo loop, there were index variables and while loops. And certainly there were no comprehensions or any understanding of the basic built in data structures other than using lists as arrays.

So I did a review, assuming that this person was just really new to python and tried to gently coach him towards basic Pythonisms. His response was: “Oh yeah, I just ran them through ChatGPT and assumed it was all ok.”

I quit about two months later.

Same here.

Array operations in FORTRAN are much easier for the compiler heavily optimize than it is in c/c++ due to its array model and type system. You can achieve much of the same thing with modern compiler extensions, but it’s difficult and not as portable.

I moved from IC to full time management this year and I’m struggling with this. I don’t control the money, the most I can do is give a glowing review and argue for my team members to get raises but the budget is not in my hands. I do have a small “team building” budget that I can spend on food and drinks so I take them out for a nice meal as often as I can. What else am I supposed to do?

Because your browser has one. Why would you need a second?

Why not both?

I’ve had small Debian servers such as a RaspPi or a NUC that I’ve never updated after the initial setup and they were still working perfectly when I finally turned them off to move. If you don’t want to update a Linux system, don’t. Maybe setup auto security updates if it’s going to be exposed to the raw internet and running some open servers.

This is exactly it. The various *HDLs are explicitly written to create systems of logic gates.
