Well you see one client demanded some absolutely stupid very obscure feature that was so absolutely stupid that it could only reasonably be achieved by hacking some bullshit together on their on-premise bare-metal installation that they insisted on not giving you proper access that you needed. Then something went wrong with that hacked-together one-off bullshit, and the digital equivalent of this was the only way to figure out what the hell was happening.

Yeah exactly. So why make that comment?

The iPhone is stopping them from doing all that, which you’d know if you’d ever used one. The phone’s filesystem does not appear to the pc as a mountable external volume for you to copy shit in and out of it. You have to move the files over network somehow, through a smb share or whatever.

He ate it, from what it looks like.

It has to be monocrystalline sapphire that was grown in a very specific model of vat from the Soviet era. Others just don’t sound the same.

He’s in Hydrogen Sonata. The mcguffin guy who everyone is trying to find and talk to because he’s the only person who’s old enough to remember some very important thing about the early days of the Culture.

One of Iain M. Banks’ Culture novels has an exceptionally old character who is so exceptionally old that he’s had to turn most of his body into memory storage (sounds weird if you think in terms of computers) to keep remembering things. He stores his sexy memories in his balls.

Podman has a built-in automatic update feature that monitors the source repo. Could be useful for you.

You said no weapons, but no mention of armor.

Wrap me in some chain mail or kevlar or whatever, and set me loose. I will rain down an ungodly firestorm upon any number of squirrels. They’re gonna have to call the United Nations and get a binding resolution to keep me from destroying them. I will massacre them. I will fuck them up.

How is that? Does risc-v have magical properties that make its designers infallible, or somehow make it possible to fix flaws in the physical design after the CPU has already been fabbed and sold?

What skill? This is not a fucking game lmao. I don’t use an immutable distro because I have better things to do with my time than to try and climb a steep learning curve using some very questionable documentation. I can acknowledge the benefits, but I also acknowledge it’s gonna take me time to get there. And I judge that the time investment is not worth it.

It’d be political suicide. A very justified one, I might add. Turkey has already taken on WAAAY too many refugees over the last years, and the consequences have become pretty bad. It’s a hot topic right now. Even his supporters are sick of his immigration policies, which he’s been using as a way to import voters by fast tracking them to full citizenship.

All sounds are short clicks that just repeat rapidly, if you think about it.

Does the kernel even have that functionality built into it? I thought it only mapped the raw data from the keyboard into actual key presses, but nothing more. That is to say it’s the kernel that determines the ctrl and z keys are being pressed, but it’s something higher on the stack that determines what to do with that information. Could be wrong, though.

The sweat thing is important imo. I don’t want to show up to work or school or whatever drenched in sweat. Sometimes it’s too hot outside, or you have to ride against too strong a wind, or the terrain on your route is difficult. Either way you can easily arrive at your destination soaking wet. Unless you have an e-bike, there is no easy or convenient solution for that ç. A very real consideration that most certainly has made me not choose my bike on many occasions.

While we’re on the topic of wet, weather is also an important consideration. Keeping yourself protected against the rain on a bike is not easy.

The answer is that many languages import their demonyms from different foreign languages. The reason for the inconsistencies is the different, unrelated sources for words.

I’m the walrus

Excuse me if I don’t appreciate when the compiler adamantly refuses to do its job when there’s one single unused variable in the code, when it could simply ignore that variable and warn me instead.

I also don’t enjoy having to format datetime using what’s probably the most reinventing-the-wheel-y and most weirdly US-centric formatting schemes I have ever seen any programming language build into itself.

I agree, unfortunately. The only reason I stick with ddg over Google is because, unlike Google, they don’t smother me with captchas the moment I enter a VPN.

1. making someone else do it because although you want it done, you can’t bring yourself to do it when the time comes

2. making someone else do it because you don’t want to fuck it up and deal with the rather significant aftermath after waking up 3 hours later with only a pumped stomach
