Tar and feather

I see what you did there

He’s allergic to that stuff. Otherwise he’d have done that with the ship more than that one time in that one episode, instead of wasting his life away tapping on a console like a filthy meatbag.

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 think what they meant was forcing people to do it all by hand invites mistakes, which are then fined.

Unfortunately, as of 29.05.2024, carrying laptops in your pocket is still slightly too uncomfortable.

The whole point of those generative models that they are very good at blending different styles and concepts together to create coherent images. They’re also really good at editing images to add or remove entire objects.

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.

Pretending that the distro package manager is a suitable tool is not enough? Kids these days smh

C dependency management is the worst. I thoroughly dislike how it works over there.

First gen in-screen scanners were absolute trash. Borderline unusable. But the tech has improved quite a lot since the first ones. The one in my galaxy tab s9’s screen is fast and accurate.

It’s an error message matrix (the messaging application) throws when something goes wrong that makes it unable to decrypt messages.

Yes that’s why kids’ tablets exist. They’re less powerful devices loaded with a special version of android that’s been MDM’d up the ass to give parents strict control over how their children use the thing. It helps you regulate screen time to a safe level instead of depriving your child of it entirely.

Maybe there are “peak seasons” where everyone rushes onto the server to get something done hours before a national deadline or something? No appreciable traffic 50 weeks of the year year, but total chaos in the remaining two. Not an uncommon thing for certain offices and agencies.

Yes. Your boss needs to be able to double click on an email attachment otherwise it’s like you never even did anything.

This. Everyone knows that windows is a perfectly safe and secure environment with no exploits and vulnerabilities whatsoever.

Floating point errors are a product of how floating points work as a mathematical concept. So they’re independent of the programming language and can happen everywhere.

In this case though, I doubt it’s a critical issue. So the player “died” when they actually had 0.000000000027 hp left or whatever. Who cares? Do you need to be that precise?

Ad blockers don’t protect you against dumbass frontend devs who serve 5mb png files to be stuffed into 600x400 boxes.

Was he though? He mostly looked like a captain who wasn’t thrilled with the idea of a large group of non-navy civilians starting fires onboard his ship and having their animals shit everywhere.

I just genuinely dislike such inexplicably, impossibly smart “genius kid” characters who also seem to possess inexplicably, impossibly vast amounts of knowledge and experience that simply cannot have been acquired in however many years they have been alive.

To be fair the show did try to address that a few times. The episode where he’s given his first team, for example, showed him needing real advice from real professionals with real experience. But such episodes were rare. Mostly he was just a general-purpose wunderkind who could solve any problem. An acne ridden teenager who came up with very advanced technical solutions where much more experienced experts drew blanks. Not the most fun trope.

There was a browser extension they replaced all the words in yt comments with “bla”. Pretty great stuff.
