Online marketing specialists: "A mailing list is the most effective way to reach your customers. It has the highest conversion rate, because everybody on that list chose to be a subscriber"

Actual businesses: start calling their regular "Our Specials" maildrop a "Newsletter"

@uastronomer also businesses

sales adds you to their newsletter without asking and then you're wondering why you're being advertised on gig work QA services each week

Yeah, don't know how to fix it. Doxygen is just refusing to output the usual file for my template using aliases / inline constexpr variables as a standalone XML so breathe just cannot find half of my stuff.

So all of my documentation is extremely broken on the latest Doxygen.

If you're not careful, Postgres might install with the default database collation of ASCII instead of UTF-8

The answer to this is, for some reason, to drop the template database and create a new one with UTF-8 locales applied. Which can only happen if the host has locales configured correctly too.

I am vaguely attempting to start trying to touch-type and wow, I sure do see the reasons people want to make new keyboard layouts.

@anthracite The horizontal staggering really wasn't designed for humans.. Sure we can go on about the layout too (qwerty), though that's a dead horse at this point. People still forget the horizontal staggering was for typing hammers.

Meanwhile the ergodox goes with vertical shifting, because like.. our fingers aren't all the same length, right?

@anthracite the amount of tapping my housemate makes on her phone with those looooong nails

I think I can conceptualize it.

In case anyone else wondered what was on their passport or ID card with a bunch of <<<<< everywhere, it is called a "Machine Readable Zone" (MRZ)

Which is documented in "Doc 9303".

I was curious why my passport and passport card had this, but not my drivers license.

Does anyone look forward to the day when brain implants are common, so anyone can broadcast their music like a Bluetooth speaker directly into your brain for being in their vicinity?

It would be like perfume but for another sense. Ahh yiss I really want to hear Christmas music within your 3 meter radius.

The sky walk at MFF is wobbling like a suspended bridge from a mere group of five people trotting inside. The reflection of Hyatt Regency can be seen tilting up and down.

The convention center and hotels really are pushing that shared facility until it crumbles.

It isn't normal to have a ~9000 ppm CO2 reading inside either.

Seems like all the early adopters are going to sh*t in the pool of information for generations to come.

The quality of search results are going down for all sorts of reasons. And it is taking a dive for the worst, fast,

Does Australia exist? According to Bing: no. With credible citations too.

"Wikipedia isn't a source" my middle school teachers would say, and yet it is nearing the most long term reputable source of information.

What will the next, and the next-next generation do to find useful, technical, accurate, and reliable information?

TikTok can't teach people cryptography. People would rather talk about disposable fast fashion that's terrible for the environment, or where to find the best street tacos in a town with only a dollar general than truly educate one another with reference material.

cendyne,
@cendyne@furry.engineer avatar

And now we have creators of reference materials, OEMs, spewing junk for their own search rankings in this inflating party on the back of AI. Check out Lenovo's abacus article https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/glossary/abacus/

This extended brain with technology thing is gettin *&cked and those with less interest in memorizing what they need to be independent and functional will make dangerous mistakes... like mixing ammonia and bleach.

Do not mix these. It creates a harmful and poisonous chemical!

I adapted to extending my knowledge to outside technologies like search engines. It wasn't there, for me, until I was in middle school.

In 2012-2018, I think the results were at their peak. The incentives were there to produce information that was useful, and the engines gave useful results to niche and complicated queries.

Now the results are skewed too much towards "did you mean" fat finger typing and commercial deals between companies too big for me to imagine understanding.
