The lack of braces in python code makes it quite difficult to read for someone who’s used to languages that use braces.

That seems dumb. I share an apartment with a friend, which is getting more and more common in this housing market. Would this law mean we’d be married even though we’re just friends or does it only apply to men and women living together (and does that mean that 2 people of different sex cannot live together as friends without accidentally getting married?)

Nothing says ‘I love you’ like a legally binding contract.

Antitheist

No it’s not. DST makes it so summer afternoons and evenings are useless because it’s too hot in the direct sunlight. By the time the sun goes down and you can actually be outside it’s time for bed.

We should move the clock a hour back in summer so we can actually enjoy the summer evenings.

Dark? It doesn’t get dark in summer at the end of the workday, even if you move the clock backwards.

What I do like in summer is being outside, which isn’t possible until after sundown because you’ll burn alive if you do. It doesn’t get comfortable outdoors until after the sun sets which in the middle of summer isn’t until 22:00, thanks to DST.

I’d like to BBQ, eat outdoors, have a few drinks with friends in my garden. All impossible during weekdays because there is not enough time after sunset before I need to go to bed.

Move the clock an hour back in summer instead.

How is it a retcon? The use of giga- as a prefix for 10⁹ has been in use as part of the metric system since 1960. I don’t think anyone in the fledgeling computer industry was talking about giga- or mega- anything at that time. The use of mega- as a prefix for 10⁶ has been in use since 1873, over 60 years before Claude Shannon even came up with the concept of a digital computer.

if anything, the use of mega- and giga- to mean 1024 is a retcon over previous usage.

Same thing goes for vaults, or all physical locks. It may take a little longer than a padlock but nothing comparable to the amount of time it would take to brute force good encryption. We’re talking maybe a couple of hours or days for a vault vs. millions of years.

Also crashing the economy so he can buy companies at bargain bin prices.

It’s so absurdly big. Our galaxy (the Milky Way) is estimated to have between 100 and 400 billion stars in it. For a long time we thought our galaxy was all there was, it wasn’t until 1925 when Edwin Hubble was able to prove that M31 was not a nebula or cluster of stars in our galaxy, but in fact an entirely different galaxy altogether that we realized there are more galaxies out there.

Look at the Hubble Ultra Deep Field picture

This was a taken by pointing the Hubble Space Telescope at a basically empty bit of space 2.4 by 2.4 arcminutes in size (for comparison, the moon has an apparent size of about 30 arcminutes, or half a degree). So an absolutely tiny part of the sky. It contains about 10.000 galaxies.

The observable universe is estimated to have between 200 billion and 2 trillion galaxies in it, with on average about 100 billion stars per galaxy. It’s absolutely mind blowing.

6 bankruptcies. He even managed to bankrupt a casino, which is basically a license to print money.

The screen sharing is also missing basic features every other video conferencing app has. A huge one is being able to share part of your screen. You can either share a window or an entire screen, but often I want to show multiple windows. I have a 21:9 5k2k screen, if I share my entire screen no one who is working from a laptop can see what I’m doing. Just let me share an area of the screen to share.

Trump is 78 years old. The average life expectancy for males in the US is 74.8 years.

And this why I have a PS5.

Windows doesn’t run Xcode. macOS does run Office.

These are enterprise drives, they aren’t going to contain anything pirated. They are probably going to one of those cloud providers you don’t want to upload your data to.

I’d want to be able to lose two drives in an array before I lose all my shit. So RAID 6 for me.

Repeat after me: RAID is not a backup solution, RAID is a high-availability solution.

The point of RAID is not to safeguard your data, you need proper backups for that (3-2-1 rule of backups: 3 copies of the data on 2 different storage media, with 1 copy off-site). RAID will not protect your data from deletion from user error, malware, OS bugs, or anything like that.

The point of RAID is so everyone can keep working if there is a hardware failure. It’s there to prevent downtime.

What do you mean brand? Bacon doesn’t have a brand. You go to a good butcher and buy bacon. No brands are involved.

Same. Turns out I do like cheese, just not the cheap rubbery crap they sell in the supermarket.
