For most devs, it's a Jenga tower.
Only fancy algorithm devs get a nice Hanoi towers setup.

"Hello IT, have you tried turning it off and on again?"
pause
"Is it plugged in?"
pause
"You're welcome"

For some reason it reminds me of When Sysadmins Ruled The Earth, a short story about sysadmins dealing with the apocalypse.

One of my colleague is leader of the team managing our internal software systems, but also a potato farmer. Somehow.

My entire career is based on "yeah but you're good with computers and programming!"
I just wanted to do fine arts and paint for fuck sake. And I could have made a career out of it, as history as since shown! Ah well. Maybe my kids will fare better, we'll see.

I remember playing Wildlands and loving it so much I actually bought the game full price. Sometimes you gotta vote with your wallet.

I wish I could do that for Band Maid. I really want them to get my money. Not some fucking glorified delivery company.

I'm glad it's only the football streaming sites, but I don't much like that companies get this kind of legal power.

I've had this so often... very frustrating.

I like to think the 400 within a 200 is for "look, I managed to reply to you. But there is bad news"

fibojoly ,

Oh I agree! It was so annoying.

More useful would be what sort of values is acceptable there. Can I use team number 2318008? Can I use team 0? If not, why not?
WHY / WHY NOT is often useful.

Same reason as usual : the music I like isn't conveniently available elsewhere I've looked to purchase, or available at unreasonable prices that won't benefit the artist, and I refuse to stream shit. So the high seas it is!

Happy World Turtle Day! One of my favourite turtle-releated software development things is that Firefox console will show a little turtle icon on slow requests. Picture also related. ( lemmy.world )

Also shout out to all shell programmers and turtle graphicians and turtle roboticians! Turtles are really awesome, they have shell access! And won't be rushing to push anything on production too fast either.

If you like turtles and programming, you might enjoy hearing about LOGO.
Back in the day, that was the first programming language I was taught. Years and years before I'd learn C or ASM.
You'd give instructions to a "turtle", moving it about the screen, drawing as it did so. It was a magical experience for 9yo me.

Not sure for triple, because you can face the central screen and have two satellites, but for two screens yeah, one wide is much better. I'm not going back! Was always turning my head and having to pick one or the other. Was not convenient at all.

It was called The x86 Assembly Bible and I would not have been able to do much of anything without it.

fibojoly ,

Y'all haven't heard of Windows clipboard history? Windows + V will change your life, I tell ya!

fibojoly ,

Keeping their admin password in the history so they don't have to alt+tab to their Secret Server webpage? W-who would do such a thing?!

That has to be because in Chinese there is a single word for it, like for so many other relative nouns.

... I think I found it : 老表 (laobiao)
Defined as "male cousin (on the maternal side or on the paternal aunt's side)"

fibojoly ,

China, at least.
Lots of distinction between mother side and father side.
Grandma can be 老老 laolao (mother's mother) or 奶奶 nainai (father's mother), for example.

Thanks for correcting. Pleco confirmed the one I wrote, but this is the one I learnt and actually wanted to write!
