This is probably more accurate! I was relying on fuzzy memories from an era long past! Thanks for the correction.

Link speed has always been measured in bits/s or as sibling comment suggests baud which is, still, just bits per second. Obviously a huge part of this is marketing for modems, ISPs, network cards, etc. but it’s consistent. The conversi

> it amuses me that a language so obsessed with getting rid of symbols and looking like pseudocode decided that such cumbersome, obtuse and ugly looking boilerplate was just fine. 100 times this! I have always wondered about that.

I know the 8% is a statistic, averaging over lots of users, but it seems dramatically too low. I have a flexible, remote job (I have have for 11 years of my 13 year career to date). When I think about the cost it would take to poach me for

This may work for you, I’m not positive that the recommendations are globally applicable though… Argument based largely on things not occurring in nature… especially loaded phrases like ”frankenlab,” “artificial perfume crap,” and “naturall

You wildly underestimate how willing people are to avoid lose money in order to avoid the time and effort it takes to get rid of some kinds of stuff ;)

This is the actual correct answer, yes, but I figure if I can get them trying to scam me then they’ll spend less time trying to scam my grandpa… I’m probably wrong these days; it’s probably a ScamGPT instance, but it brings me joy.

The correct response to this is always, “I told you to use a burner! The feds know about this number!”

Nope, I’m pretty ambivalent about my OS… Used Linux professionally for several years, Mac OS for several and only recently switched back to Windows with the advent of WSL 2. Having spent multiple years on all three I promise you that my exp

I got invested in "Carrie" but we never found out whether or not she got help! As a sidenote: How does self-exclusion work for online gambling? Do you have to provide a gov't ID to signup?

Strongly disagree here on the "machines don't just work." 99% of the machines in my life just work for 99% of the tasks I throw at them. I spend an inordinate amount of time fixing/working-around the 1%, but directly int

This problem is not unique to Python, it’s just the proliferation of incompatible tools that makes Python quite so annoying to use. I’ve found that none of this is really an issue if you provide a container as a dev environment. Before some

They’re not suggesting you don’t store it… I don’t think you’re addressing the real concerns here. How I read the concerns: External connections to your data belong in a field or a separate table to ensure that your data is not so tightly c

OS agnostic here (I’ve worked professionally in all three major OSes and on both Apple and a variety of Windows machines, currently enjoying WSL2 on my Dell XPS 9700). Apple’s laptop hardware still seems to be the gold standard to me. I hav

I (incorrectly it seems) assumed that “molten” was just part of the manufacturing process. This take makes more sense.

Ew. Glad the article ended on a no. Coffee at home is not expensive enough to justify such madness. A pound of coffee makes about 7 8 "cup" (5oz) pots. I tend to get 4.5 mugs of coffee out of an 8 cup pot. Even overpriced Starbuck
