@ryanc

probably not, but having chatGPT write C for you is totally fine. ;)

@ryanc

so the code jar is a smaller circle within the overall cursing circle venn diagram. fair enough.

@ryanc

i was just getting into computers seriously as higher level languages were making assembly, awareness of actual RAM usage, etc much less necessary. it's been interesting as we've move further away from all that and yet there is still a need for at least a few folks to dive into the guts underneath.

@ryanc

isn't that redundant? :)

@Quinnypig

nothing like crypo to up a valuation beyond where any sane human being can understand it

@inthehands @adamshostack

my uncle was a professional publisher of high end art/photography books. i remember how meticulous he was with every single aspect of text/font/picture layouts. he found most text editing software on computer painful to use.

the problem with the web is that we have two religions with irreconcilable differences. you can't have any random device with any random screen layout, size, resolution, and control exactly how a page is displayed and formatted. you get fixed display and control, or no control and any device.

@inthehands

hard to believe we turned GET/PUT/POST into the $#!tshow that is the modern web, isn't it? :)

talk about your dancing bear...

@adamshostack @inthehands

i'm sure if we'd just gone with LaTeX instead of HTML, it would all be fine. :D

at least subscripts/superscripts/fractions would all display correctly.

@tychotithonus

more and more as i try to help my mom deal with all the "new features" in her computer and phone that don't work for anyone with any sight, eye/hand, or skin chemistry issues, i'm back to this:

'no developer of any device software/OS that human beings use is allowed to touch a single line of code until they have spent 6 months doing user support at an assisted care facility'

@mjg59

something filtering ICMPv6 and PMTU not working?

@mjg59

different packet size/MTU by default

just one guess. i have seen it.

@saraislet

at least give them some tools to recognize when they might need to watch their backs, as well as some tools for how to manage up when you don't have a great boss.

@saraislet

you are giving them good memories so that after they live through some abusive managers and progress to when they manage, they will know how to do things better.

@ryanc

i was somewhere overseas when they asked this.

i got pulled out of line because i had so much.

then they went through the xrays, even asked me to pull out electric toothbrush and shaver "because they said *all* electronics".

25 minutes later, including the time to completely repack everything, i was finally on my way.

i sure felt safer flying. oh yeah. uh huh. you betcha.

eugenics/racial genocide automation

@ryanc

nice!

egg white foam drinks are lovely.

@jerry

it's way easier to understand than cricket and at least it's only 60 minutes of game play. :D

@ryanc

knighthood also comes with a sword and spurs, to take care of any other discourtesies. ;)

@inthehands @Adam_Cadmon1 @TCatInReality @housepanther

we need a slew of changes. ditch the electoral college. major campaign finance reform. mandatory consistent federal term limits (the same for all states), ditching of the current congressional seniority system for committee assignment, federal oversight (and enforcement!) of voting districts, federal standards for the algorithms used for said voting districts.

way too many thumbs on the scale now and no calibration authority to counteract it.

@Adam_Cadmon1

the best part of the block button is how eager folks are to show that they deserve it. :D
