Tux racer go b.....r......r........r

I only had access to ex-corporate office hand-me-down motherboards as a kid. This was about 1 potato per 3 seconds of rendering performance (I'm 34)

Well, theres been a push to get more women into Tech so that works in your favour.

Your job is now to lure them away from the Microsoft bros

Yeah, but, like, I use Arch btw

Well, we have one group of people saying "the treaty means this". And we have another group of people saying "no, the treaty means this".

Which group is right? Currently it's impossible to tell, because they've interpreted parts of the treaty in different ways. And there is some precedent in case law thanks to Waitangi tribunal rulings.

Clarifying the principles removes the ambiguity and makes it clear for everyone.

I understand the opposition though, Maori stand to lose a bunch of Maori-specific things they fought long and hard for if it's decided that actually all citizens of New Zealand have the same rights and duties under NZ law

MSSQL in Microsoft* cases

FTFY although arguably Microsoft and Stupid and synonyms

My house was built in the 1960's, to New Zealand standards.

We build houses for the climate we wish we had, not the climate we actually have. All the wall cavities are empty, especially the external walls

Some things, like honorifics, dont translate well to English.

For example, the -chan, -sama, -kun etc suffixes are super annoying when the English voice actors try to use them.

They're fine in the English subtitles against the Japanese audio though

Still kind of relevant today; benevolent big corporate appreciating the work of its faithful office slaves

/s just in case

Yeah I figured that was the case.

It's an interesting thing about federation between platforms - everything gets federated, even the platform-specific stuff that may be irrelevant elsewhere

Reluctant upvote because it's New Zealand but my dude/dudette, what's with all the hashtags?

I'm assuming a federated post from Mastodon

If you're American and you've been eating the food-like product labelled as "Cheese" in your supermarkets then Yes

I found this in my first and second year so I stopped buying them.

Half the time it was just "recommended reading" and the book wasn't even used in class.

Yep, not gonna shell out $120 per book for "recommend reading"

To be fair it's probably running on Windows.

All the servers force-restarted due to windows updates, but the update introduced an issue and now the Bing API service won't start

Keeping shit running on Windows is always going to be a gamble

Sad for those who worked hard and repaid their loans and now get to watch as everyone else gets theirs written off

Consumers: only buy the cheapest regardless of how it's produced, ensuring a race to the bottom

Producers: lower standards to increase production so they can sell meat for the lowest cost

Consumers when they find out what that entails: shocked pikachu face

Looks like someone set it up just for show. There's no heat source for the still. The thumper is way oversized for the size of pot and the worm condenser is relying on the surrounding air which won't be nearly enough cooling, it needs to be submerged in circulating water

The irony of USA citizens hammering on about how free they are and they can't even legally distill their own liquor smh

Take me back...

There’s a rule banning “self-preferencing.” That’s when platforms push their often inferior, in-house products and hide superior products made by their rivals

Wow, I can see Microsoft fighting this one tooth and nail. It's basically their whole business model

Wow, and here I was trying to set breakpoints using the devtools debugger and faffing around with sourcemaps.

Wish I knew about this 10 years ago!
