200 was an arbitrary number

It was not of any significance to the point I was trying to make

The IDF will bomb a hospital and kill 200 people

NYT article will say something like “200 Dead after bombs drop near a place, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.”

They phrase everything so carefully.
Like the bombs were some sort of natural disaster and not an intentional military strike on civilians.

They always append “Hamas run health ministry”, to imply the information can’t be reliable, because it’s from a US-designated terrorist organisation

The Israeli media will say “We killed 300 Palestinians”

I stole this from the other thread

A kernel, in computing terms, is the computer program that sits between applications and the hardware, facilitating their interactions.

This is the GNU/Linux operating system’s kernel (the part that is technically Linux) showing its architecture.

The columns represent the areas of functionality the kernel offers, the rows (from top to bottom) representing the level of abstraction from the hardware.

From the top; user space, where users barely have to think about the hardware enabling their applications. To the bottom; the hardware itself and the interfaces that enable the kernel to talk to them.

The lines represent the relationships between the various Linux kernel functions and structures - the text - that interact with one another directly.

The diagram is interactive in the sense that you can click the functions/structures and be taken to relevant resources to help a Linux kernel developer navigate the humongous amount of code that comprises the kernel, to accelerate debugging etc.

This diagram has been continuously developed for well over 15 years at this point and is somewhat iconic in the Linux world as it makes tangible the kernel and its thousands upon thousands of lines of code which I doubt any one developer has or could read and comprehend as a whole without the use of tools like this map.

And at a yacht club, I feel like anyone who does get it, is not going to be someone who can’t make a lifelong pacifist throw their first punch.

Ah, C++! I prefer my engineers use GoogleScript at the company I bought out. I feel like Google is the safest bet. Like, one day Apple and Microsoft might stop updating C++, where now everything is Blockchain and AI based, Google will keep its market share and keep supporting g GoogleScript…

right-angle plugs are often better than straight ones because you can put furniture closer up against them and do so without stressing the cable.

Yeah that is definitely a huge bonus. I’ve taken it for granted.

We’re slowly adopting three pronged Italian/Chilean-type plugs that will be “backwards-compatible” with the EU plugs. I have no clue about polarity or anything like that.

New sockets include em. The original three pronged socket is kind of a hazard. Kids can stick their fingers in there. Not sure how that got approved.

Allows you to remove power from the plugged in device without unplugging it. This provides convenience to easily and quickly turn things on and off and prevents arcing when unplugging.

That’s exactly what I do, because it’s more convenient than unplugging everything.

I live in South Africa, where we had rolling blackouts (called loadshedding) for a few years. It’s easier to switch everything back on when the power comes back than to plug it back into a socket without a switch, especially with my fucked up spine.

The electricity in the place I live was done poorly, so having something plugged in “live” risks a surge or something and then the appliance gets fucked and then everything smells like burnt plastic.

And that’s the best case scenario. Others have had housefires.

Also, the South African plugs aren’t pleasant accidentally to step on. It won’t pierce your foot, but it can still hurt like a motherfucker for a few seconds if you step on it in the wrong way.

Those UK plugs do look a lot more nasty to step on. I shudder at the thought.

I like the EU and US two prong cables ( 🔌?) where the prongs are parallel to the cable, but not the cables with the orthogonal prongs.

Do you think he wanted to do this last time but ousted everyone who told him that’s fucking psychotically stupid?

I imagine there are game devs who were laid off by the studio of the game they are playing getting extra pissed.

Like, they may know why a game breaking bug is happening and how to fix it, but they can’t, because the dipshit CEO wanted another yacht.

In South Africa, where I live, that kind of thing is a criminal offense known as crimen injuria.

From Wikipedia:

Crimen injuria is a crime under South African common law, defined as the act of “unlawfully, intentionally, and seriously impairing the dignity of another.” Although difficult to precisely define, the crime is used in the prosecution of certain instances of road rage, stalking, racially offensive language, emotional or psychological abuse, and sexual offences against children.

There are also a good number of other laws that deal with child abuse, so offenders won’t just get slapped with a crimen injuria charge on their criminal record and say it was just road rage when questioned.

Very cool

My friend from university sends me his Rust code snippets sometimes. Ngl it looks like a pretty cool language.

There was also that tldr reimplemention in Rust that is a gatrillion times faster than the original.

I really want to give it a try but I have executive dysfunction and don’t have any ideas of what I could use it for.

During the single mandatory postgraduate session on ethics, a few of us decided to play a bot trivia game over Telegram.

We all already knew it’s bad to use our education to kill people or do fraud or plagiarise shit. Like, man, I never did that. I’m not gonna fucking do that.

Anyways, someone sent the answer, “Led Zeppelin”, 1ms before me.

I slammed my fist on the desk. The entire lecture hall looked at me. That was my only moment of gamer rage where I hit something. Normally I just aggressively grunt or clench my teeth.

edit: I dropped out anyways, so it didn’t matter if you don’t think about it too much

this is multidimensional wisdom
