  • Cat: this is a nice place and I like you. I want to make sure you’re eating.

    Here, take this

  • What a mess… sounds like the devs got burned by various Unicode edge cases RTL, etc

  • Oof. That sounds horrible

  • Is it because of the lower case Latin æ since it’s technically one character even if two bytes?

  • And that’s why Belters shouldn’t cross into gate space while watching a show. Too risky to have the ship go Dutchman because the entities can sense your embarrassment.

  • Has hissy fit
    *Adds herpetologist to resume

  • Sounds like it’s actually using XSLT or some kind of content validation. Which to be honest sounds like a good practice.

  • Im so excited. That’s why I’m reading through them again.

    Then mistborn, warbreaker, etc.

  • Rereading the Stormlight archive right now after finishing the last book.

    Man I wish I could find another book with that energy. Murderbot diaries has some of the serious/comedic aspect but not at the level of DCC. Same for hitchhikers guide. Close, but not quite the same.

  • It’s not a waste of time… it’s a waste of space. But it does allow you to “enforce” some schema. Which, very few people use that way and so, as a data store using JSON works better.

    Or… we could go back to old school records where you store structs with certain defined lengths in a file.

    You know what? XML isn’t looking so bad now.

    If you want to break the AI ask instead what regex you should use to parse HTML.

  • Sorry Odette, with your limbs gone you don’t have much of a choice. However, we will have a prime broadcasting spot for you.

  • What kind of printer is it?

  • There’s been some movement over time but in general disk was used for pc because you had Hard Disk Drives. Then their counterpart the floppy diskette (disks).

    Disc as a term was used for media like compact discs and subsequently digital video discs, etc. and then pc components allowing them to be read and then written to did exist for PC’s and, as such, had the disc moniker. But that’s because they were already “discs” branding wise.

    USB thumb drives, being created as portable removable media for pc’s were a kind of solid state disk and so they use the k. Even NVME, being primarily storage for computing devices, can also colloquially be called “disks” but more and more people just refer to them as drives and I suspect those who refer to them as disks may do so out of older computer hardware habits and that utilities (fdisk, df, etc)call any such media a “disk”.

  • Probably. But I didn’t want them dealing with being cut off. They can do what they want but since it’s a dorm you can be sure they’ve had these conversations before

  • Depends on whether you can adjust the Tx level but then you run into FCC level stuff that most people avoid (since boosting it is a huge issue with interference)

  • But this is a dorm. A shared environment with close proximity.

    If everyone had their own Wi-Fi transmitting at normal power there would be too much interference that even channel hopping wouldn’t fix it.

    Not to say that there can’t be some middle ground but the Wild West attitude isn’t kosher either.

  • Rf interference. Similar to having multiple microwaves running near your router, or those old rf based baby monitors.

    Congested the 2.4 or 5gz spectrum with noise causing noise and retransmits or outright stopping the wifi from working.

    If you have an old radio that does AM find a AM channel that isn’t broadcasting and bring it near your router. You can actually “hear” the noise those things are putting out.
