@retoor It's an interesting question.

@chatgpt have any academic studies been done to determine whether the appearance of "builder's cleavage" makes a person's arse more or less attractive to an observer? What did they conclude?

This is where the issue lies.

If you're a proper mathematician there's no need to render LaTeX because your brain supports it natively.

Were they your own repositories?

@kiki So that would have been a Soviet vacuum cleaner? In which case the main risk would have been electrocution rather than the actual suction.

.

I doubt if the statistics are robust. People who turn up at A&E with a fractured penis are probably not reliable witnesses.

It's the sound of a drunk on the bus, muttering random stuff, grunting occasionally.

And then very suddenly, and very spectacularly vomiting.

This is why the Almighty created antibiotic-resistant gonorrhoea.

@Demolishun Valley girls in the UK be like "beth wyt ti'n edrych arno?"

You mean a university maths department?

@GarciaYvette I'm glad you think so.

@antigermanist Is there a timesheet code for practising self-care?

@antigermanist Rock n roll.

Is it the actual building of software that's the problem, or is it the retrospective sprint baselines they're making you work up for the Q2 release train?

I would hesitate to hire someone who keeps saying "be like", in the absence of a compelling reason to overlook it.

@jestdotty I'd like to see how the little fuckers manage without me.

@Lensflare Their logo looks like it's supposed to represent lady parts though. This is inconsistent brand messaging. I'm confused.

If you don't have oxygen you'll fairly urgently need something to electrolyse the water.

Lack of sex makes you miserable but I wouldn't call it a need. I think it's in the third level of Maslow's pyramid.

Maslow isn't the Polish word for butter but it sounds like it ought to be.

Anything before 5am is early.

These days if I go to sleep later than about 23:00 I will wake up feeling like I've sucked a badger's arse.

@Wisecrack Until we go down there and have a look, it's neither dead nor alive, it's a heisenfrog.

@tosensei I was going to suggest superglue.

The juxtaposition of this with @Wisecrack 's post could be a work of modern art. I assume it's intentional?

Depends on the context.

C#, SQL: fingers

Anything functional: tear ducts

JavaScript: fists

PHP: teeth

Generating strings of love using PHP would probably give you several very intractable venereal diseases.

Whose choice is it and where can I find the little bastard?

@Lensflare "nicht einmal falsch"?

Javascript is potentially a really elegant language.

Back in the day, I was supposed to rote-learn all these lists of shit so that I could pass a bunch of exams and call myself a fellow of whatever institute of blah blah.

The trouble was, it bored the arse off me, so I never got round to it.

The people who memorised those lists and got the certificate - some of them are smart, some of them are idiots. The correlation between having that ticket and actually understanding stuff, is basically zero.

But having the ticket does at least prove that you're willing to do hundreds of hours of pointless drudge work so long as that's what everyone else is doing. So the correlation with being able to solve problems that other people have failed to solve is strongly negative.

Which professional engineering organisation are you a fellow of?
