This conversation is beautiful

I didn't realize it was a weird contaction.

@zemaits install an OS that supports my hardware? *installs Linux*

Customer brings in a laptop to be fixed.
Me: "did you bring the adapter?"
Customer: the what?
Me: "The AC adapter."
Customer: confused look.
Me: The power plug.
Customer: oh! No, it should be charged, though.

sed -i 's/ /\t/g'

That's sure to upset someone.

@gitreflog huh?

@vyrtruus that's fine. That's just slang. "Take-apart" attempts to make a verb where one already exists (disassemble). It's just too many syllables for the average American, so they dumb it down.

Ego is a lot like .. I dunno, McCarthyism?
Person1: ugh, your ego!
Person2: what an egotistical thing to say!

Just.. egos all around.

I'm just frustrated completely with people's complete inability to be objective. Even while ranting about lack of objectivity, there's a claim against the objectivity of that rant itself 😂

Finish up the coding, shut the computers off, crack a beer, watch Netflix for an hour before bed. Lights off. Popcorn. Movie time. Helps to change gears.

I could get naked in front of a webcam for more than that. Holy fuck.

@iSwimInTheC horses don't support combustion. Layman don't know this.

6? Who gives a shit? That's like trying to make sure gas nozzles at the gas station are lubricated so as to go in to your horse's ass more easily.

Minor anomia. I occasionally forget common words like "cucumber" such. The brain is a funny thing.

Psh. Everyone knows that Sun created JavaScript and it's counterpart Java, but that's only used on Microsoft iPhones.

... Inside a virtual machine with a Windows host...

Negative. I am a meat popsicle.

I bet a million dollars they wouldn't have done that if you were male.

I agree on this 100%. You might be able to phrase it a a little more positively while retaining the same sentiment, though.

@antic

Virtual Pool. I loved that game. Vpool.exe

@Qing 😂

I don't see much math involved in the software I've peered into, aside from basic algebra, unless the software is geared toward something mathematical (like something physics related).

I think it's more important to know how pointer arithmetic works than to be good at solving equations. There's Google for the latter.

I feel that I'm adequate at math. I have trouble adding and subtracting numbers because that's not how my brain works, but I'm good with vectors and trig and whatnot. I'm very visual, and numbers without meaning (distance, for an example of meaning) are hard for me. The biggest problem I've had is an inability to grok complicated algorithms and a lot of fencepost errors. Granted I'm speaking of personal projects. My career is.... not ready to take off yet.

Sometimes the build system gets confused about a timestamp on some source file and doesn't recognize that it needs to recompile it. It's become standard practice that if something like happens to just delete all the object files.

Also, #includes are evil. Someday we won't need them anymore 😁

A veterinary clinic I did work for has to use a DEA website in order to purchase controlled substances. The website requires Internet Explorer 9, and refuses anything else.

People that block ads won't ever intentionally click on one, anyway. It's better for the end user. I mean, unless you like web pages that are 80% ad, 10% popups, and 10% whatthefuckyoucametothewebsitetoread.

I just threw away half of my books because they're no longer relevant. If it isn't digital and doesn't offer free updates, it's destined for the garbage bin

Hardcopy is on its way out.

Fewer keystrokes, I suppose
Great for creating kludges that only you know how they work.
