You're not necessarily wrong in the last bit, but...

No, in most they aren’t raised to submit.

Bro, this ain't slavery 😂

If I install a package, I don't even know what it installed and/or where.

I can't believe Linux can't even tell you what it installed where - even Windows can do that.

XP file search was slow as shit.

Everything for life! (locate (package: mlocate; run updatedb to get the initial load) for terminal on Linux, or I just use find)

Windows 10 is RIP October 2025 anyway, so might as well.

Is asked the local POC (Indonesian-Japanese; Indonesian-born) and he responded (and I quote) "people need to stop being pussies". The Brazilians (Brazil mentioned!) didn't care much either.

So I don't need to pretend anything about anything.

Your milage may vary though.

I don't know about Scrollone, but I hate it when corporations force me to change for the sake of change. Options to change is fine (in case someone doesn't like the default), of course.

And no, "inclusivity" is not the actual reason, as that's already covered by adding the option to change (which again, is completely fine)

Because I don't want to be forced to adapt by others. Let me adapt by myself. Adding an option for change is fine, but changing the default is fucking annoying. Fuck Github for changing master.

Not quite the same meaning, as master/slave is forced, whereas dom/sub there's implied consent.

Also, pretty sure most companies would not be OK with the sex reference, which is just a bonus!

Smarter than Zork, worse than a human. Faster response times than humans though.

Dune I and II were in development in parallel. One of them was cancelled (don't remember which one), but they forgot to tell the company, IIRC.

Warcraft 1 came after Dune (and Blizzard were big fans, IIRC), either way. It enabled multi-selection (based on spreadsheet programs, IIRC).

and occasionally Google translate

deepl.com is a decent alternative, if you want to replace Google Translate

Programming.dev represent! o7

The best implementation of errors as values I’ve seen is Rust’s Result type

You're talking Monads, baby!

Had to dig around a little, but I think I got some context :

I don't recall Uncle Bob being sexist or racist, but maybe I missed something.

I wish they had a section for query languages. Too many people only know about SQL, which being based on the Relational Model is rather powerful, except crappily implemented due to inconsistencies in the language. We need alternatives.

She ignored community feedback (I want customized channels back!) and turned YouTube into the dopamine riddled mess it is today.

Still, fuck cancer. My condoleances to her survivors.

SmarterEveryDay is nice too, though that's more focused on engineering stuff.

The older generation survived 4chan and worse. We'll be fine.

Wendell is a leftist. His current newest video has him say that.

Wait until people find out you can make the government ban ads - https://www.euronews.com/2014/11/26/grenoble-europe-s-first-ad-free-city/

I like their future (so far).
