I thought it was “wololo” (the sound made by the priest in Age of Empires when it converts an enemy unit to a friendly one.)

Same same, only different, but still same, but still different.

Not if you live near the tracks! Obviously that’s a bit of a safety issue, though, not to mention taking a few minutes time from (potentially) hundreds of people to gain a few tens of minutes for yourself.

Does the officer not take full ownership of the report once they edit it? If they got an intern to write a report and then they signed off on it, they’d be responsible, right?

I guess that’s text. Text win every time.

There are a lot of stories about Jobs acting in completely unhinged and highly toxic ways. I agree that the particular situation you’re describing is a good though.

For rendering voxel data like in a minecraft world I’d think an octree would be the go-to data structure.

Okay. BSP trees were the basis of the Doom WAD format and were used for visible surface determination and depth sorting, though. Seems relevant.

When Copilot was first released I called it Bing and it got mad. :P

Or a monkey. Or a car (when I was a kid one of our cars was called George.)

I dunno, I think it works in any organisation small enough to only have a small number of any given thing. One you start having fleets of servers then you’ve got to switch to fleet naming.

This is true, we had a bad hail storm come through in 2010 that dimpled an appreciable fraction of the cars in the city like golf balls. Most were deemed repairable write-offs. Went right over a couple of luxury car yards. A bunch of people

Maybe the cats were themselves invented by mice?

Are you thinking of some kind of “hungry intelligence” but for fatigue?

Well yes, but are you wiggling the giblet or are you flensing the grobbulus? Because the latter requires specialised equipment and a flensing trampoline, whereas the former requires a 1mm Allen key and possibly a hard whack on a nearby surf

Not advocating, just predicting. And not necessarily actual population, just population in paid employment.

One thing that I think has real potential is a portable split system aircon for workshops and garages. The all-in-one aircon units have terrible efficiency but split systems require expensive installation that can cost as much as the unit i

Exactly. It reminds me of all of the maundering about being "forced to work" (ie. having to earn some income in order to purchase some of the bounty with which we're surrounded) which usually comes along with the "hunter

We hear this refrain, that hunter-gatherers lived lives of relative ease while early agrarians lived lives of backbreaking labour, but honestly it's never made any sense to me. Outside of a few garden-of-Eden scenarios, life as a nomad

Yep, might be there was a known issue that was addressed, at which put in a new one. But just replacing a fuse (or, simultaneously worse and better, just resetting a breaker) without further investigation is just kicking a very spicy can do

It’s not a fuse. It’s a fuse plus guarantee plus liability.

This is a great example of something that experience has dragged me, kicking and screaming, into grudgingly accepting: That ANY time you say “We will absolutely always only need one of these, EVER” you are wrong. No exceptions. Documents? M

Any time I invent a cool thing, I go and try and find it online. Usually it's already an established product, which totally validates my feeling that the thing I invented is cool and would be a good product. :D Occasionally it's (

I think it's awesome that they can do this amazing fun esoteric stuff, but at the same time a small part of me thinks maybe they need to be doing something more meaningful in the real world.
