Well, round numbers will indeed make the math easier.

Yes, people some times live up to 120 years. You should start at 60.

Ok, it’s cool. But is it good?

It’s so hard to find a good gaming mouse!

look at headlines occasionally

No way. If you only look occasionally you have no chance to normalize all the crazy stuff in the previous 12 hours and it all hits you at the same time.

The news don’t get any less crazy if you don’t look for a while. That recommendation was for the time when 24 hours news had to make shit up to fill their time.

Well, it must have become impractical after they started to invade cold countries… But it didn’t seem to have stopped them.

Also, I can’t tell them anything.

Yeah, by default kill sends sigterm, and not kill the process at all.

It’s the correct behavior, sending sigkill by default would be harmful. Now take a look at how killall worked in Solaris (before it adopted GNU).

The NT kernel was all built to emulate object orientation (read Smalltalk, not C++) style message passing. That’s because it was the 90s, and it’s the new technology kernel.

So yeah, expect everything to have more flexibility sending data around, and no standardization at all so you can’t have any generic functionality.

Even worse. You’d get from Windows 7 to Windows 11.

Why, indeed?

They need you training AI to make it into a profitable product… that will replace you.

If they really believe in that, they should seek psychological help.

Also, replacing you won’t generate enough revenue for keeping the main LLM provides alive. Yes, they are that wasteful.

Yeah, it’s because it’s not the school that is bullshit.

It’s some of the stuff people do there. At the same time, some aren’t. And we are incredibly bad at telling the difference, and worse than useless on doing that at scale.

Nah, the stupidest thing you can do is go around ordering people at random and shooting the ones that comply.

There’s a really fun discussion of news commentators on the lines of “Nobody is stupider than Trump, Vance will just be better at being evil” and “Nobody is stupider than Vance, Trump is the one keeping everything in place”.

Reality is probably too weird to predict anyway.

Just let C++ die already, and stop pretending it’s a reasonable thing to compare other languages with.

If you can’t do it in C, you are better in Java, Python, Haskell, whatever.

The length of variable and function names should be proportional to the size of the code that can potentially call them. And preferably segmented in namespaces, explicit modules, or something like that.

I belong to all of them. Same question.

Or at least say what’s broke…

The worse people are the ones that generate most of the interactions, so every side is biased.

Yes, we have an anti-birth set of memes going around.

But people sharing your memes doesn’t mean they are smarter.

Idiots tend to have idiot kids because they raised them in idiot households

Random people are usually way smarter than people give them credit. Idiots are an exception, though I have no idea how hey are distributed.

and idiots tend to have more kids

That’s completely unfundamented idea that was created to support some racist movements. One would think that movie made a clear enough point to convince anybody this is bullshit…

It’s a completely absurdist theme. The people insisting it reflects reality in any way are the ones that bother me.

Still, it’s a simple movie with simple jokes. The kind of thing maybe worth watching once, and not worth thinking about.

You save the server bandwidth bills and have all the people currently downloading help you get it instead of competing with you. Also, most torrent clients are way more competent and featurefull for handling downloads than most browsers.

Usually, it doesn’t make a lot of difference.
