I'm boykotting Canon and Birkenstock. The first for being total idiots, spurting "open source is theft of intellectual property!", the second because I know the owner family (the son was in my class) and they are assholes that would make Trump proud.

I've read the documentation on that feature, and still don't get over it. How can anyone with knowledge of computers be so dumb to even consider such an idea, lest implement it?

This feature is just a BIG flag waving "AbUsE mE!"

Speedy trial, as in: "I try to dump my shit first, and if I dump enough shit on Trump I may get out with a slap on the fingers instead of a stay behind bars. Better than waiting and getting shit dumped on by the others."

That's actually what we plan to use when we rework the bathroom. But there is no space for a separate bidet on the floor.

If you are starting from scratch, why do they limit the language selection?

Well, the toilet is still a toilet, but there is no space to add a bidet, too.

But I'm thinking about getting a Japanese-style hightech toilet when we redo the bathroom. Which would have a bidet included.

No, you bought magazines back then which had pages and pages of printed source that you typed in. And hoped that you didn't make mistakes. That's actually why I learned debugging before I learned to code ;)

And this also was the way I earned the money for my second computer - I wrote about 50 games on my own for my first one, some of which I sold to such magazines by saving them on casette tapes with a modified casette recorder. I wrote so many games, they published them under aliases...

Ah, ok. that clarifies it.

Quoting from memory: "Remember the times when men were men and wrote their own device drivers?"

Time to drop any kind of support for those countries if they fraternize with Putin.

The article is quite vague on how this is implemented. Does it require JS to be activated to work? That would be a big NO for anyone really looking into privacy, but could work for those who use TOR basically as a free VPN to escape stupid geoblocking rules.

And what will prevent DDOSers from just creating dummy requests without the intention to ever wanting to solve any PoWs? It will still allocate resources on the other side.

It was called "Water Carrier". It was a simple labyrinth game that - because I had no way of saving it to a tape, disk, or similar - I had to type in line by line whenever I wanted to play it.

Yes, I'm a bit longer in the business than most of you.

Dartboards, Dartboards!

If I would complain about any new language or environment I'd be dropped in, I'd probably in the loony bin by now.

Tell the team leader that you don't know the language but are willing to learn, read the existing code which will give you a feel for the language, the project, and the local programming style, all in one go, and you should be fine. Imagine the backend was written in PL/I, Prolog, or LISP instead of just another ALGOL dialect ;-)

The EU would tackle this by telling those aircraft owners to switch to unleaded fuel somehow, e.g. by fixing or replacing the engine, or put it out of business.

"all those COBOL developer jobs" nowadays probably fit in one bus. That's why every company that can afford it moves away from COBOL.

With my bathroom, the answer is simple. I would have to nail the bidet to the wall because of the lack of floor space, which would make it's use rather awkward.

It is not exactly sudden, it's creeping for the last 20, 30 years.

52 more instances of silence.

That was no failure! That was a successful lithobreaking maneuver!
