Anyone have a non-paywalled link?

floofloof,

Gen X checking in. What happens when I can no longer work or no one will employ me, but I cannot afford to retire?

floofloof,

Spelling errors in titles really grind my goat.

floofloof,

“Discretely” should be “discreetly”. One means “separately” and the other “unobtrusively”.

floofloof,

For most of Ontario, voting at all would be a step in the right direction.

floofloof,

I’d expect at least one news report anywhere about it, if there were a significant protest movement.

floofloof,

It’s good to hear that there are Israelis who have the courage to protest against what Israel is doing in Gaza. I have not seen this in the news so thank you for the link.

floofloof,

Yes, I saw that, but there was also a section in the Wikipedia page entitled “Anti-war protests”, and some of those look like they are motivated by concern over the slaughter.

floofloof,

My understanding is that if you change the contents of a torrent you’d have to create a new torrent to seed the result. You can’t change the contents of a torrent and expect other people to receive the modified files via the original torrent. Your client will be doing a checksum and realizing its local files are corrupt (due to your changes) so replacing them with good copies.

So create a new torrent with the modified files and an explanatory title, and seed that.

floofloof,

If I subscribe for 10 years then can’t afford it any more I’m rewarded with a 10 year old version of the software? It should be the version that was current when you finished your subscription.

floofloof,

At what point do I get to keep 5.0 instead?

floofloof,

That’s not so bad. Thank you for the clarification.

floofloof,

Do people actually copy and paste code with no understanding of how it works, from SO or Copilot? I always thought this was just a joke.

floofloof,

The tricky thing about software development is this balance: you don’t want to hobble your system by designing only for today, because that could waste a whole lot of time later when needs change, but you also mustn’t paralyze the project by designing for all possible tomorrows. Finding a middle path is the art, and the only proof that you got it somewhat right is that things get done with relatively few crises.

floofloof,

You evidently haven’t met my colleagues. There are always people who go for the quickest hack despite the trouble it stores up for later, and they’re usually encouraged by management.

floofloof,

He’s gonna die soon.

And he’s happy to take the rest of us with him.

floofloof,

I imagine if the NY Times is putting it out there it’s probably something the US government wants out there.

floofloof,

There are some decent left-wing channels on YouTube, but you won’t see recommendations for them unless you have a history of watching stuff like that. Google knows about my political leanings because they watch everything I do, so I see left-wing content in my recommendations. By default though they are far more likely to recommend right-wing rubbish.
