Because “the markets open at 9” is an international standard that everyone can count on. You could stagger it so that one country’s market opens at 10, then another at 12, and so on, but then what if one country chooses a different standard? What if a restaurant picks a different convention than businesses in one area? Time zones are great because once you understand them, you’ll always know how time works locally, anywhere in the world with a single piece of information, it’s a truly successful standard.

I mean, some of those things are just because online recipes are usually shit. You can pretty much always use a spice blend instead of salt and pepper, you can always add Chile powder at any concentration you desire, and you should always double the garlic (at least). Granted, some of this is because most recipes are written by AI nowadays.

No one on LinkedIn has a real job, they’re all just bragging about being self-employed or paid to post there to “generate positive public opinion on 50 hour work weeks”.

Kinda wild how a web pages still take several seconds to load. I remember first hearing about multi-megabyte per second internet and assumed pages will load instantly. Now a webpage is so large it takes compiled languages several seconds to parse them.

cs () {
    cd $1;
    ls ${@:2}
}

You (probably) only want to pass the first argument to cd, this’ll send the rest to ls.

And MinusJs depends on AngularJs and VueJs for some reason, but that’s just the cost of doing business!

He doesn’t have to be a homosapien, he could be a corporation instead!

Remember the meme where all the parentheses are on the right hand side? This meme is the same.

Unironically, this is a very cool tool as an import profiler.

The number of combat defeats of the F-18 is somewhere in the single digits, so you gotta take what you can get.

I’m far less worried about the imminent supply shock to the economy and far more worried about the long term damage to things like the FDA. We’ve decided we’re going to try to go from ~10% vegetarian to closer to 80% or 100% because I simply don’t trust that thing like meat and milk can stay safe to consume. I do have a solid amount of food in my house, and if shelves start emptying I think I’ll be okay for a bit, but that’ll pass. I can’t really leave this country, so I need to be planning for longer term problems too.

Yes, but they usually came at the same price.

Almost certainly, they’re counting on their “audits” consisting of a script that looks for “$500 per week” in the descriotion to confirm that they’re posting ads.

dd literally has the nickname “disk destroyer”, and it is a well-earned title. Once you have a bad default choice and no pre-installed alternative, you’ll have at minimum 3 competing tools. Just the way the world works.

Pandas was always 200% slow, nothing lost there.

In my experience, if you didn’t write the function that creates the list, there’s a solid chance it could be None too, and if you try to check the length of None, you get an error. This is also why returning None when a function fails is bad practice IMO, but that doesn’t seem to stop my coworkers.

I too know how to run sed -r!

I always go with password2 cuz everyone throws a fit about password1 being insecure.

I could have sworn there is a puffer fish-themed SSH file manager GUI, but I can’t for the life of me find it right now.

Someone actually invented Tony the Toilet Buddy
