With the 5 Eyes agreement, the they’re one and the same.

Look up “Stanford marshmallow experiment”.

I can’t stand Rossman’s videos; but I respect the hell out of his ideas, principles, and efforts to better the slices of technological life that he cares about.

Me in the late 90s: CSS is not a language!

Today: Holy crap, it’s now Turing-complete.

Speaking of stores, there’s also Obtainium if you like living on the edge. It can pull directly from GitHub releases, which may or may not be desirable for different people.

Another obvious one is Firefox or its siblings Mull & Fennec, with their add-on support for a better browsing experience.

There’s also system-wide ad/tracker blocking solutions. I don’t actually have a recommendation on this as most of them share each other’s blocklist anyway.

all work in floats

We even have float16 / float8 now for low-accuracy hi-throughput work.

Every. Single. Time. 🤚👆🤚

But then people will see how many bugs your code actually has, and how you actually can’t be bothered fixing any of them!

I hate how soy has been used by bigots as an insult. Soy products are bloody delicious!

That’s… two posts

Three, actually. While I agree with you, it is still arguably the number one company that annoys people on that list ʘ‿ʘ

I don’t know where you are, but painter’s tape (or masking tape) comes in all sorts of colours. Including white.

HTML is not trying to accomplish a task but specifically displaying stuff on the screen.

But what if my task is to display stuff on the screen?

The way I normally do it is the following. Strip the sleeve further back than you need (say, an inch). Untwist the 8 cores and separate them.

Arrange them in the right order (the extra length makes this easy) Flatten, pack them together, and pinch with your thumb and forefinger near the base.

Without letting go of the pinch, use your free hand to cut them to the correct length. Now that you have them flat between your fingers in the right order, it should be pretty straightforward to slide them into the connector.

I can’t believe there’s not more love for Seal in this thread.

Not Toyotas

Oh that’s not uncommon in the industry. Especially when dealing with legacy code.

Personal best was 40k lines in a file called misc.c containing all the global functions that don’t fit anywhere else.

Runner up was the one where each developer dumped their miscellaneous functions in their own files, so they don’t have to deal with merge conflicts. Which means we had x1.c, x2.c, x3.c … etc.
