if you pay for a thing it’s pretty hard to avoid giving a cut to amazon these days.

HR had some bug in their system and I got about two extra weeks (7 total) for a few years, but I didn’t complain about the bug.

of course

Linux is second nature to us IT people, so it’s easy to forget that the average person probably only knows basic shell scripting and how to build programs from git repos.

You don’t have to compile your own kernels you know that right?

Hmm worth a try. Seems it has a higher oral BA than e.g. ketamine.

Do you smoke PCP?

cat pipeing is safer though.

foobar > file and your file is gone.

ketamine?

I wouldn’t pay the premium to be a beta tester for Qualcomm for the new Snapdragons. They’ll be cheaper, have better drivers and more laptops to choose from in a couple of years.

The new Snapdragon laptops are getting 15h+ of battery life, which is a couple of hours less than the new Macs (macs have bigger batteries) in the same benchmarks. The next gen Ryzen AI 300 Omnibook is said to have 20h+… but why do people want so much out of their battery? I’ve only used laptops for work and I can’t remember being more than a couple of hours at a time outside a dock.

How many horsepower is your car’s gas tank?

I work totally elsewhere, but my union’s collective agreement says that I get paid for 40% of my hourly wage each hour I’m on call. So 16 hours / day mon - fri, 24 hours / day sat - sun & public holidays. Extra compensations for calls in the middle of the night etc. also.

I would not fill my glass with string.

I just press tab and the IDE sprinkles all that sugar for me.

doesn’t the CPU already do this?

disgusting

just wildcard for n digits

I don’t know how it’s in 60Hz regions, but here the generators are in 3 phases, 120 degrees apart. The voltage gets transformed to up to 400kV, still in 3 phases, and then down to 400V when it’s distributed to peoples’ homes. Then you can pull 400V 3-phase or 230V 1-phase from your wall.

How could it be off frequecy at house level? Aren’t the generators at the powerplants being spun at 50 or 60 times a second?
