My occasional reminder that I once used a ROM burner that, upon power-up, announced on its bright red LED display: "RELF-TEST PASSED".

@robpike did it have one of those TEXTDOL ROM sockets?

Coders of all kinds, I have a question.

What is the minimal amount for someone to "know how to code"?

aeberbach,
@aeberbach@mastodon.online avatar

@raiderrobert encounter a problem and work out how to fix it. Making something compile and run is about 10% of “coding”!

Every time we travel in quick spurts or over long distances, like this combination of 14 and 4 hour flights, I regret having an Apple Watch.

I keep threatening to switch to a conventional watch, but this version 5 keeps a charge most days and the urge goes away. Today it’s back. 😠 Having too many devices with batteries is bad.

@aeberbach@mastodon.online avatar

@KevinHoctor the only regret I have after giving up the Apple Watch is that now I can’t ping my phone when I forgot where I put it.

aeberbach,

@huwr but do you prefer slow-cooked or rare?

aeberbach,
@aeberbach@mastodon.online avatar

@huwr nice! I usually do slow-cooked just because you can’t get it wrong. And carving is hard.

delighted to learn that my wine cellar is the example used to explain cache hierarchies in UW's introductory courses

(the wine fridge in my kitchen is labeled "L1 cache", the cellar is main memory, and the offsite warehouse is the archival block store)

Defaced some of my Stack Overflow answers again because the people who own that site are triple-A fartwaffles who are fucking over the community.

P.S. They smell bad.

@thomasfuchs any volunteer moderator in that place has stood by and said “this is fine” through the deterioration of license terms and abuse of other moderators over years. They’re committed.

Anyone have a suggestion for a cheap soundbar style computer USB speaker? Something with no LED barf and that doesn't look gamery.

aeberbach,
@aeberbach@mastodon.online avatar

@paul it’s a shame there are less choices now with AUX stereo in. I would have bought the soundbar intended for my monitor but USB only!

I love the new office. Tasty breakfast served this morning. Then a mini hotdog cart showed up late in the afternoon. And a day full of productivity. Great day.

@fletchy but isn’t it a bad thing when the “mini” pertains to the hot dog rather than the cart?

Nobody makes butter dishes which are specific to west coast sticks. They're all either designed without even realizing west coast sticks exists, or they're slightly larger than east coast sticks and you can kind of cram west coast sticks into it with a lot of wasted space on the ends.

@linux_mclinuxface @foo this looks like typical commonwealth-heritage sized butter. AU, NZ, UK will all have the butter dishes you need. https://www.mattblatt.com.au/mb/shop/kitchen/butter-dishes/

If I ran a 2nd hand marketplace (Facebook Marketplace, Kijiji, eBay, Craigslist, etc) I would ban the word "rare" from all listings.

Also, all caps (except proper nouns) would automatically push your listing to the bottom of all results.

What would your rules be?

aeberbach,
@aeberbach@mastodon.online avatar

@linux_mclinuxface anyone listing things for laughable prices - “Atari heavy sixer $1999!” - gets put in a special “tell’em they’re dreaming” section with links to more reasonably priced similar items.

Don’t ever believe an Ilve oven is anything special because it come from Europe. They’re shit, just fancy, expensive, European shit that fools people the first time they buy an oven. Never again.

@parsley Pretty sure you already know that the name Australia comes from a Latin word “australis” that simply means “southern” and that’s the way it is used in Aurora Australis, but some who see your toot might not.

Building computers continues to be harder than it should be. Gigabyte didn't label the front panel connector pins on my motherboard, likely because they ran out of space in which to do so, but it seems like their support website has also run out of something today.

@timixretroplays @jimp my last Gigabyte board had this.

There's an apple ad for the ipad where a concrete ceiling crushes a whole bunch of musical instruments, paint, and other art-related things, then reveals a thin ipad at the end.

It made me physically ill to watch. Destroying musical instruments is disgusting, like burning books.

aeberbach,
@aeberbach@mastodon.online avatar

@PadraigOCinneide it’s a shit ad. But surely CG, not actually squashing instruments, toys, piano…?

When I finally pull the trigger, a new 13" iPad Pro w/ 16GB RAM, keyboard & stylus is gonna cost me €3,107. It would be by far the most powerful computer I own.

That's more than twice as much as what I paid for the Mac mini I do all my development on. It even beats out my high-end gaming PC whose GPU alone was €1800.

All of that goes to waste because it’s paired with a simplified, stripped-down OS using the same technology stack and limitations as a $300 Netflix device for your grandparents

aeberbach,
@aeberbach@mastodon.online avatar

@stroughtonsmith and it can only be personalised for one person. Let someone use your iPad and they get access to to your mail, messages, socials, everything.

And it looks like your $2k iPad is still locked to one user. Well, just pick up a few then!

More thin, expensive, and fast, is not enough to make me excited about iPad again. My 2018 iPad is enough of all those things already.

Hate those fake updates from USPS where their computer sees that nothing has happened for a couple of days and inserts some generic "oh, we've totally put it on a truck and it's heading to you!” It has been sitting there for 3 days! Definitely not arriving today. 😔

@fozztexx shield screen and other parts with foil, gently apply heat gun to make the adhesive behind the label tacky and easier to peel?
