Rtf is far more lightweight than docx. It’s closer to markdown.

One man controlling access to a sizable percentage of the world’s internet access doesn’t solve much.

I can’t tell if you’re joking and deliberately invoking the original comic above

The Animatrix described it fairly closely

I’ve seen this before, but didn’t realise they got milkdrop working. I bought an MMX compatible processor specifically to be able to run this, back in the day.

Piss poor management for decades has finally been noticed.

Interesting that they note that the installation and upkeep are expensive. I wonder if they’ve factored the upkeep into the energy expenditure. Flat roofing is far worse than a pitched room for needing replacement etc.

Basically, it sounds good, but the research needs to consider the full lifecycle of these projects.

Agreed. Mypy pre-commit hooks are very useful if you’re starting a fresh project. Adding typing to an existing project which reuses variables with different types… We lost weeks to it.

JSON parsers are getting me recently. The error is somewhere on or after row 1, char 1. Maybe.

Possibly it’s a BOM issue, or someone used double quotes typed on a Mac keyboard. Good luck.

You’ve never bought anything with “made in china” on the label?

I had a lot of fun pasting that into dalle the other day, created some funny stuff.

Quite an emotive title for “domain name not renewed”

That sounds like a problem worth solving, and I can’t think of a reason it would be the case without using the words “kickbacks” and “corruption”

Why do they need to ask? I ask as in the UK we all get our power from “the grid”, and don’t have much say over what the energy mix is there.

KDE. Not a distro, but I can’t get on with it. Too much screen real estate used by flashy things, and everything moves. I want instant transitions not a shwoosh. It’s probably all toggleable, but I don’t want to fiddle with it for every install or release.

It does still allow for catch-up at the end of the run though. I prefer to binge watch, but now I wait a few months for it all to be released and then watch it. Which still doesn’t allow for week to week discussion, but fits my watching patterns better.

Not if you randomly jumple and replace the switches before typing each password

I have a shelf of ducks, and I organised for everyone in the company to get a branded rubber duck at our last meetup. But there’s apparently something special about trying to show buggy code to a real person.

Entirely the opposite for me. Code which I haven’t been able to get to run for days suddenly runs first time when I ask someone to do a code walkthrough with me. Infuriating.
