Next your going to tell me that all those years of fixing other people’s bullshit computers doesn’t count as 20 years of tech support at Microsoft! I was raised in those mines, I’ve put more work into Windows than Bill Gates at this point.

It is a place where you drive, to your job

Why wait? Those horny, gym-rat twinks are out there waiting for you right now!

All these jokes about naming variables and yet no serious suggestions that if you have a turtle2, what you really need is a turtle array. I like to block out all the memory I’ll need for the whole program up front, put it all in one big array, and then I can use clean, easy to remember numbers for all my variables!

I believe you’ll find the documentary film “They Live” educational on the matter of space capitalism.

He can’t even, it used to be a widespread problem

Programmers after slacking off for two days to improve their factories in Shapez2 because they already automated all their tasks.

If changing requirements mean you need to update the script, then updating the script is part of your job. QED. I don’t see the problem with a little job security.

It’s posts that are a step up from piss-posting, but below regular unmodified posting.

“Day” and “year” have local equivalents for any orbiting, revolving body. We’d probably retain the second as the basic unit of time and maybe go to something like decimal time as a generic standard for communicating between places and for trade and business. That covers spans of time. For absolute time, we may be out of luck. Even assuming we could pick a standard object and point in time as anchors, relativity means that each frame of reference has clocks moving at their own speeds. So far as we know, there is no universal frame of reference.

So even if we said “every revolution of the pulsar at coordinates blahblahblah is one galactic standard day and we define Year 0 as starting exactly 3237.95 standard days ago” we still wouldn’t have a universal time standard because people close to black holes will have seen fewer rotations of the pulsar, so they’d be living in the pasts of any planets in a faster frame of reference.

If they called them “hot boxes” instead of “gas chambers,” i think the public support might be stronger.

“Hey Chad, we’re going light up this joint and gas chamber Alex’s car, want in?”

just doesn’t work as well.

I sort of hoped the beaming part of the gif was looped to never end. Great prank!

I wish games just wouldn’t license music, or would attain a perpetual license that allows the work to remain whole and as intended. Can you imagine if your movie collection just auto-updated to change the soundtrack or add some new scenes in now and again? It’s fucking stupid what people put up with in games and software.

Well, banned for having mild opinions on US politics and then getting defensive when someone called them a genocide enabler. Sounds like hexbear did them a favor. If only the right-wing loonies were so quick to ban people who disagreed with them instead of setting up a big slide to draw them further in.

So are we switching from metacritic to NASDAQ for our game reviews now? No longer will we buy or subscribe to games, now we invest in them. With the blockchain, we will…

Maybe they confused it for another game.

It’s sad but i stopped writing answers or comments on SO years ago. I used to have all these optimistic ideas about people working together to collectively grow our shared knowledge. I guess Wikipedia and the Internet Archive keep barely hanging in there, but if anything those cases prove my point: without one extremely strong personality to hold the corruption in check, all these collaborative “digital commons” projects are a leadership change away from completely selling out all the work put into them. That can be feeding everything into AI but it’s also monetization schemes and EULA changes to claim ownership of user submitted content and locking the public out of your site without accounts and subscriptions.

And usually the public’s only recourse is to tear it all down and start again, waiting for the next con artist to come along and steal the village’s prosperity.

There are many answers questions the judges will accept, but only one correct answer question!

(Also happy cake day!)

You ever been around geese? Those terrible shits take shits everywhere, all the time. Loud, nasty birds.

Are you in the czech republic, speaking in Czech, and presumably not using a VPN?
