For creative out there:

What would you name a variable that holds 1 byte?

"byte" is a reserved word since ES3. Variables cannot start with a digit, so "8bits" isn't valid.

"data", "unit", or "num" could work, although less descriptive.

Capitalizing the first character as "Byte"? IMO, looks funny and might break convention.

A homonym? "bite".

For whatever reason, my brain is refusing to cooperate with me today.

davep,

@atoponce And two bytes can be ocelot.

Health and Beauty Gurus who are under 60 are scam. Come talk to me about wrinkles and joint health when you're 72, then I might buy what you're selling.

davep,

@RickiTarr
I'm reminded of the scene in Coupling where the arrogant and vain woman in the main cast is patronising a very wrinkly old lady, who changes the subject thusly:

"You moisturise every day, don't you dear?"

"Yes, what of it?"

(with a slow smile of triumph) "So did I."

How about 92? https://infosec.exchange/@davep/111879005262655020

It's amazing. I started three years ago aged cough and was squatting over 100kg in three months. It's brilliant, and exquisitely doseable.

Last night I watched Australian Masterchef.

Somebody made meringue and they all cheered.

"That's odd" I thought. "Normally in Australia they boo meringue".

I cannot tell you how much I'm loving True Detective: Night Country. I don't know if it's because I struggled through 3 before watching it or if it's really that good, but I think it's the very best thing I've seen in ages. Going in on episode 4 now. HURRAH!

Aujourd'hui je suis chonchon parce que tout est contrariant depuis ce matin. Sur ce, je me dis stop, je fais une pause.
C'est là que je découvre qu'un gars a construit une tour Eiffel en 706900 allumettes, 2 fois + grande que celle de François Pignon qui compte seulement 346422 allumettes, 7 mètres de haut et 4000 heures de travail, avec pour seul but d'entrer dans le Guiness Book.
Et Bim, ils l'ont pas validée parce qu'il a pris ses allumettes direct chez le fabricant et elles ont pas le bout rouge. Pas de bout rouge, pas de Guiness, pas de chocolat (une bière ptet mais c'est tout). Le gars est dégoûté 🤭
Voilà. Anecdote de qualitay

davep,

@MadameMollette Quelle tête de vainqueur!

In a new study published in The British Journal of Sports Medicine, researchers found that while doing either aerobic exercise or strength training was associated with a lower risk of dying during the study’s time frame, regularly doing both — one to three hours a week of aerobic exercise and one to two weekly strength training sessions — was associated with an even lower mortality risk.

davep,

Note that the main goal of strength training for the "Masters Athlete" is improved mobility, strength and balance through older age, and compression of the inevitable uselessness to a small window at the end of life.

It's worth subscribing to Dr Jonathan Sullivan's "Greysteel" channel and buying his book, "The Barbell Prescription"

He was 92 then, and still going strong at 97

Somewhere, there is a person on this instance who used their work email address who must have recently left the company and turned on every email notification mastodon has to offer.

Soooo… many…. Email bounce backs

@simonzerafa It looks like this user changed the default settings from what @jerry said.

Yeah, I posted it in the depths of the replies https://infosec.exchange/@davep/111875498940243577

davep,

@peterbutler @fencepost I guess we'll find out more with time. You could be right, of course.

Apparently there was an email originally that the individual was wary of. Not that it proves anything.

what's the most fucked up mishearing of lyrics that you've had that you only found out were wrong wayyyyy later?

for me, in "Dirty Deeds" by AC/DC I thought they were saying "Dirty deeds, 𝘿𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙚𝙛" and I just assumed "Dunderchief" was some Australian 70's slang I didn't know

it was when I sang along to it in the car with Mrs. Smiths that I not only learned it was actually "𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘥𝘪𝘳𝘵 𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘱", but also that Mrs Smiths could somehow laugh hysterically and show total disappointment simultaneously

davep,

@quasirealsmiths
In fact Dirty Deeds Dunderchief is the perfect description for useless crime bosses like Trump.

In Sweden we'll use the euphemism “flowers and bees” for explaining how sex and/or procreation works. And it makes sense, right? Pollination and all that.

But in English it's apparently “the birds and the bees” instead and… exactly what did the birds do to the bees!?

Did they eat them and get stung? Is there honey involved? Do the bees like it? They die if they use their stinger, right? Does it result in bee eggs and bird larvae?

Not to judge, but maybe you could consider waiting until the kids are older before going into these more elaborate kinks?
