  • I'm sorry, but how can you compare shooting a shitty CEO to shooting innocent children?
    And who would you shoot seemingly reasonable for this shit?

    More weapons and violence isn't the answer
    We need to understand how and why we, as a society, produce individuals like that asshole-idiot

    And then we need to act and change.
    Those people usually grow into this mindset and in most cases needed help themselves.
    We need not to only see the early signs, we need to fundamentally change as a society.

  • Local news says it was a fucking 22 year old ex student
    I somehow can understand holding a grudge at some teachers and/or ex classmates, but why the fuck shoot at kids much younger, who can't have anything to do with your misery?
    Of course the whole thing is bullshit, but I really don't understand why someone should do something like that...

  • With psychedelics it's always important to do some post processing and integration of your experience in your reality/life.
    Else yeah, it starts to pile up...

  • Think is, he never was a genius - actually quite far off from it

    He is just a spoiled boy having luck with gambling the money he got

  • In general, I'm with you
    But sometimes I need to revert/comment out a code block, because another code part isn't finished/working as it should.
    Sure, it clutters code, but if I just comment out a function call and temporarily replace it with the workaround, it should imho stay in code.

    Else the workaround will stay forever and the commented out code will act as a reminder, that this part isn't clean yet.

    But maybe it really is a case by case thing, where sometimes it's better to branch it out for later merge - although that can get really messy, while having the future implementation commented out, others will also see, how it is supposed to work and don't try to further extend the workaround, which makes future merging hell

    Out of interest, how would your best practice look in such cases?

  • Didn't Russia or the USA train dolphins during the cold war to do military missions - or at least tried to?

  • China, the lived version of a dictatorship of the proletariat
    Yeah, my ass...

  • In my experience they do.
    I've given some cooled out bees some honey and warm water, and they always go for it and usually recover and fly away

  • An upvote wasn't enough.
    Thank you!

    I have only skimmed the eureka alert article, but already on the surface it's so much better than... whatever the fuck that originally-linked thing is.

  • My ISA Fritz! ISDN card fucking killed me...
    I could, and did, live with the terminal for quite some while, surfing with Links, listening to music and even watching videos. Besides the obvious open IIRC chat in one terminal.
    But the Fritz Card was horrible to setup. I need to say, that it was ok, when it worked, but as far as I remember, I needed to compile the kernel with support for it and afterwards needed to configure some memory or bus addresses somewhere.

    As this was my only computer as a teenager, this was just a horrific experience. Cutting myself off from the information live line multiple times until I got it right.
    Also setting up dual boot the first time was a fun adventure...

  • Well, that's how my business trips usually look like.

    Work outside of usual production, but still somehow watch and verify your changes during production the next day, maybe producing hot-fixes, and trying to get some sleep until you can do your tests of changes at night, after you hopefully have swallowed all the fucking log data with a beer - and sometimes 2 and something stronger.

    Then you go to bed with an unresolved issue, wake up during the night with some kind of wacky dreamed up solution.
    Without any other option you hack it in, and it miraculously works.

    Then you go home and sleep - until some support call disturbs your Zen and you're helplessly confused again ..

  • I guess, baby steps?

  • Actually, in some industries this is actually a good thing

    If you can have a bumpy first day on Friday, and e.g. the warehouse is closed on the weekend, you can fix all the things you've seen on Friday during the weekend. And don't have to suffer through a real rough week with in-production patching

  • So, Trump let's public money build him the jet, he can use as a private citizen after his term?
    Why is this not surprising...

  • Would make sense, I guess, yeah.
