No, tiny bits of hidden software. It’s not a very efficient way of distributing code, but it was fun.

I’m a software engineer and I built a trebuchet during lockdown to launch Easter eggs at the neighbours’ gardens since we weren’t allowed to go see them.

I wandered in here from computer science, and I’m going back to solving parallel cache coherency for a bit of light relief.

And likely Crowdstrike will have their own insurance. At the end of the day, it’s just gamblers sitting at the table, moving the chips around.

Big employer in the uk back in the day would fine your boss if you parked outside the lines. People were pretty attentive to how they parked…

Lelete dater.

That one is … far away.

Function/Method names, on the other hand, should be written so as to make the most sense to the humans reading and writing the code

Of course—that’s why we have such classics as stristr(), strpbrk(), and stripos(). Pretty obvious what the differences are there.

But to your point, the ‘intuitive’ counterpart to ‘zeroth’ is the item with index zero. What we have is a mishmash of accurate and colloquial terms for the same thing.

Most humans wouldd never write the word first followed by (). It absolutely should have been zeroth(), and would not cause any confusion amongst anyone who needed to write it.

Saddameurysm.

Wasn’t she in Total Recall?

Quite right. XBumpick 2.3 was only ever released in the US, after ‘the incident’ back in 1996.

It probably had quite a lot to do with whether the unknown man in front could possibly be the senator. If he didn’t have white skin, it’s very unlikely to have been who she thought it was.

lol! There’s such a mix of people being genuinely helpful and people telling me the joke is past its sell-by date. But I hadn’t come across reflector before and will definitely give it a go—thanks :)

Thanks—will give this a try.

Thanks—I am running the zen kernel because I didn’t really understand the question during archinstall, and have added an AUR helper but still no lack of joy.

I’ll definitely give this a go—probably on Friday afternoon.

They are super cool and super territorial by all accounts. We were in a pop-up pub in a field and this guy kept coming to sit on our hands. I guess we were in his spot…

?

Your request for a duel is held in a queue and will be answered as soon as I’ve dealt with my colleague who inconsiderately has the same initials as me.

I remember using Mosaic on Silicon Graohics machines back in the early ‘90s. It’s was fab for the time.

And yes, Mosaic became Netscape, became Firefox. From the wiki page at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netscape_Navigator

The business demise of Netscape was a central premise of Microsoft’s antitrust trial, wherein the Court ruled that Microsoft’s bundling of Internet Explorer with the Windows operating system was a monopolistic and illegal business practice. The decision came too late for Netscape, however, as Internet Explorer had by then become the dominant web browser in Windows. The Netscape Navigator web browser was succeeded by the Netscape Communicator suite in 1997. Netscape Communicator’s 4.x source code was the base for the Netscape-developed Mozilla Application Suite, which was later renamed SeaMonkey.[4] Netscape’s Mozilla Suite also served as the base for a browser-only spinoff called Mozilla Firefox.
