Making the question so inflammatory is a double edged sword, you reach a larger audience, but you’re way more likely to drive people from your cause.

It is so inflammatory that it reads as intentional trolling to me. Same energy as “Islam is right about women”. The question wasn’t proposed to generate any sort of insight, it’s just to stoke the flames.

Please keep in mind that this is one columnist writing clickbait, not the entirety of women.

It’s possible he was capturing his entire screen instead of just some window, then forgot to turn off whatever software he uses. It’s definitely possible.

It’s like a cover band trying to replace the real deal by writing “original” songs that are suspiciously derivative.

I really liked that for how it allowed for interesting story telling. The clones can die without actually sacrificing the characters but there’s still fairly high stakes because the originals won’t know what happened while their opponents do.

Really sucks that the show got cancelled, especially on that huge cliffhanger.

Good news: Transporters in Star Trek do transmit matter, not just data. There is no original that dies.

I like tar xaf (eXtract All Files) better.

To anyone saying “just use GPOs”, here’s a quote from the SetUserFTA page:

Microsoft offers a solution with GPO, but it is Computer-based and not User-based – and rather complicated. this means, you can not associate your Users on the same Server/Client with different file types. for example:

you have a PDF viewer and a PDF editing software on your XenApp server. Now you want that a certain group opens their PDF’s in the editor and the others only in the viewer (for licensing reasons for example). this is NOT possible anymore and Microsoft states “it is by design” and “this is a security measure”.

Said solution:

  1. Set up a reference computer
  2. Install applications
  3. Go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Default Programs and configure default apps associations.
  4. Export/import the custom default app association with dism.exe

[…]

As some recommended applications can manage more extensions with each new Windows 10 version available, it’s a good practice to refresh your XML. For example, in Windows 10 1703, Microsoft Edge registers the epub extension. If you’re using an XML file from Windows 10 1607, epub is missing. As a result, you will get an app reset notification for epub.

[…]

Configure a policy for your domain-joined computer: file association will be configured at each logon. User will be able to change file association, but at the next logon file association will be configured using XML file. This policy works only for domain-joined computer.

This is just about the most convoluted, annoying way they could come up with for doing this, doesn’t help people whose machines aren’t part of AD and isn’t scriptable. If they were mainly concerned about security they’d have an option for not allowing the user to change these preferences even temporarily on domain-joined machines.

It is telling you to eat that deadly mushroom though.

I wonder if they will call the next versions 12 and especially 13. Alternative names:

  • Windows AI (because all those new features are so transformative)
  • Windows Azure Blue, Red and Yellow (Home and Pro, neither allowing local accounts, also Enterprise where non-hybrid AD still kinda works)
  • Windows Edge 20XX (everything has to use cloud computing terms!)
  • Windows. Just Windows. (four years later: Windows 2 announced!)

The next question is going to be what the maximum number of steps an ant can store is and what happens when it overflows…

Yep, my issue is with the presentation, not the actual content. I’ve also experience my share of elitism from people who seem to think that you either get it or are too stupid/lazy, there couldn’t possibly also be an issue with the teaching methods and notation.

kshade,
@kshade@lemmy.world avatar

Algebraic notation breaks just about every rule programmers are taught about keeping their code human readable. For example:

  • Variable and function names should be descriptive
  • Don’t cram everything into one line
  • Break up large statements
  • Consistency is key
  • Don’t be fancy for fancy’s sake, don’t over-optimize (this is for learning, remember?)
  • Add in-line comments for lines that aren’t easily grasped
  • Be explicit where possible (it’s a convention to omit the multiplication operator when multiplying variables because variables are only one letter anyway…)

And then we force kids to cram the whole stdlib (or rather its local bastardization) into their heads or at best give them intentionally bad (uncommented) documentation during exams while wondering why so many just don’t seem to get it, even resent it.

They used to make ones that can do both sides at once, but they were too complicated, expensive and basically immediately outdated when dual layer DVDs came around.

I had a Jolla smart phone, it was pretty great but it also quickly became apparent that the company had no real intention to make Sailfish the Android-compatible, open and privacy-friendly OS I was hoping it’d be. Selling licenses to customers to put the OS on third party hardware really killed it for me.

Kinda surprised they are still around, but I guess knowing the right magical words to whisper to investors is a good enough business strategy. They’ve done it with blockchain, now it’s AI.

Es kotzt mich so an wenn ich so etwas vom örtlichen ÖR lese:

Hoch “Uwe” beschert weiter sommmerliche Tenmperaturen. Sollte Bremen die 27-Grad-Marke knacken, wäre das ein neuer Wärmerekord für das laufende Jahr. Die Wetterlage macht richtig Lust auf Eis und Freibad. Und zumindest bei den Temperaturen sieht es für die kommenden Tage richtig gut aus. Sie bleiben bei mehr als 20 Grad, auch über das Wochenende hinaus.

Ja, soooo toll, können wir bitte die Erwähnung von Eis und Freibad in Wetterberichten verbieten? Die meisten Leute können nicht einfach den ganzen Tag faul im Wasser herumdümpeln. Und ja, “sommmerliche Tenmperaturen” steht da wirklich.

Weniger gut sieht es allerdings beim Thema Sonne und Regen aus. Die Sonne bleibt uns zwar die kommenden Tage weitgehend erhalten, aber wir müssen mit einigen Eintrübungen rechnen.

Ab morgen Nachmittag drohen vereinzelt Schauer und Gewitter, heißt es vom ARD-Wetterkompetenzzentrum. Dazu kommen auch immer wieder Wolken und ein bisschen Wind. Wer also am Wochenende draußen unterwegs sein möchte oder eine Grill-Party plant, für den lohnt sich ein regelmäßiger Blick aufs Wetterradar.

Oh nein, es könnte abkühlen, wie furchtbar. Wie bescheuert sind die eigentlich? Müssen die nicht arbeiten? Sind das Roboter?

And when the boss finds out about that ground-breaking research he’ll probably want to make an even better gay bomb with it.
