At any point when I needed an engineering calculator, I just created an ad-hoc Python script. Python seems to be easier to learn than 30 random buttons with mysterious mathematical functions.

Solution: stop using Reddit

The obvious choice is 8-------------------------------------------------------------D.com

Unfortunately D will become d in a browser URL field.

Windows is afraid of me

Eh, I usually write raw HTML by hand, and the only problem with raw HTML is that the unstyled checkboxes and radio buttons are tiny.

Green paint will be extra $2000.

Fast food is already as automated as it can be. Replacing cooks with robot kitchen is looks good as a management dream, but anyone who tried it quickly discovers that you need industrial robots, and they are fuckng expensive, and you need engineers anyway to maintain them. So you are replacing cheap cooks with outrageously expensive engineers.

“But no”, some ignorant CEO says, “we’re not assembling cars, we don’t need pneumatic robot arm that can lift 10 tons”. Yeah, you still need a robot arm, and it’s just a miniaturized industrial robot, not any much cheaper.

But robot kitchen exist, and they are actually very profitable. Go to your nearest grocery shop. 99% of items on the shelves were produced by a robot. Everything in a plastic wrap, everything in a jar, was produced on a conveyor. Even fresh produce involves some kind of automation.

So robots won’t fry your potatoes, because french fries have really short shelf life. Otherwise they totally could, but hiring a cook is cheaper.

I can tell you immediately why, just looking at the photo.

Shiny stone knap knap, my spear is shinier than yours.

With Meta it very much looks like overhiring. What are those 8000 workers even doing, designing CSS for each individual ad on Facebook?

Samsung pretty much controls Android market, Google is afraid to fart sideways in their presence.

“Eh, they can recover from yesterday,” he said, referring to daily database backups.

But did they recover from backups? Don’t leave the most juicy intrigue out of the story.

I always imagined this portrait was made right after Euler washed his hair, and it’s just a towel.

Try saying Tibet on a bus stop, and watch your ass getting hauled to the nearest police station in like 30 seconds.

Who would benefit from disrupting Ubuntu sofrware updates? Seems related to the recently discovered kernel vulnerability. Some state-funded cybercrime unit needs a bit more time to infect your servers before you update them.

It comes with a copy of Internet Explorer, and a copy of MS-DOS.

Wow, that was an intense self-diacovery.

They do use radioactive decay in archeology to measure time, but the precision is within a thousand years.

I’m not falling asleep, my laptop is falling asleep.

The problem is that it never wakes up. The solution is to disable every low-power option in system settings, and pretend that my laptop is very critical server, because Debian is made for servers.

Never heard of such clock. You’ll also need to regularly recalibrate your radioactive sample, because it decreases in weight over time. And you need a Geiger counter to measure that radiation, which is also not super precise.

A regular crystal oscillator seems better.

Nope. Quantum events are random. A clock requires precise periodic events, it cannot use random noise.
