  • Our choice

    Jump

  • I'm not planning on a burial, but those biodegradable cardboard coffins look pretty awesome, and they're (comparatively) cheap as fuck too.

    My plan is to get cremated - but it would be great to either sneak in some petrol into the casket, or pay the funeral directors to go for a two minute walk while someone packs my casket with fireworks or other low-explosive compounds.

    At best, it'll put on one last show - and at worst it'll give the crematorium staff member a hell of a shock.

  • It's like the SQL creators designed the syntax to achieve maximum fuckery for those where "test" and "live" are different words for the same thing.

    I bet they were pissing themselves laughing when implementing the finicky ROLLBACK command, knowing it that it would be only ever be used in anger as a "hail Mary" from a dev halfway through writing his own resignation letter.

  • It's not real deployment if it isn't pushed straight to prod.

    Test boxes are for communists and the French.

  • I have to remind myself if I don't get up, I will become homeless (again)

    Jump

  • As shift workers will warmly relate to, coming off a nightshift on a Monday morning when it's pissing down with rain, and getting into bed while the rest of the world is getting up is one of the greatest pleasures known to humankind.

    Yes it's smug, yes it's a very niche pleasure, but it ranks somewhere up there with sex, toothache relief, and stopping a microwave before it beeps in terms of satisfaction.

  • Printers start speaking in tongues after Windows 11 update

    Jump

  • I love modern printers.

    We have a super fancy one in work that requires one to log in (or fob in with an NFC-style tag), to enable access to their own virtual print queue or printer services.

    Weirdly, if it doesn't shut down correctly (software failure, power cut, flicked at the wall switch etc), it reboots but with some quirks like not enabling the 10 second auto logout.

    It's satisfying as fuck walking up to a printer that's still signed in, scrawling a comedy dick in red pen on a bit of A4 paper, and using the cloud scan function to scan it and have it directly emailed to the user as a PDF.

    I'm pretty sure there's some serious security issues there but it's funnier to hear someone's "new email" tone, and their eyes widen when they've got an email attachment from themselves making a suggestion that they crudely be elsewhere, or who see a masterpiece drawing of a hairy rocket with a helium leak manifesting itself from the very top.

  • that about 1/1000 of your phones RF power output, and the distance is 384400km

  • Two thirds of a million kilometres under good conditions and at a precise angle to get a picture of goatse moontooth'd to my phone

    Welcome to 2025!

  • Equations can't hurt your feelings

    Jump

  • I don't work in mathematics but my work strays into another STEM field, but every now and then I watch this short clip of Sir Andrew Wiles and think "fuck me, maybe it is achievable".

    Absolute legend, that man.

  • Trump melts down in deranged rant during Zelenskiy meeting

    Jump

  • Very few people think everyone on your side of the pond is okay with your political shitshow.

    It's disheartening to see around a third of your voters being cunts, but then every country has their regressive arseholes, but it's downright frustrating to see another chunk of your voting populace being okay enough with it to not bother voting against it.

    So, by majority, the Americans are a clownshow. A small #NotAllVoters contingent doesn't really change that - coupled with a modern history of American exceptionalism (and i say that with a straight face even with the British track record) then you can see why you're getting dunked on.

  • Microsoft is reportedly killing Skype

    Jump

  • Yeah I've still got my headsets from boxes with Skype For Business branding that have "Compatible with Microsoft Lync" stickers on them.

    It's probably closer in UI to Skype from the 2000s that the "real" Skype never really recaptured. Not sure if that's a good or a bad thing.

  • Microsoft is reportedly killing Skype

    Jump

  • My org used Skype For Business and it worked remarkably well. Much more lightweight, though somehow still a little less responsive than it should have been.

    It has that "it just works" factor for video calling, whereas Teams almost needs a fucking checklist to rattle through if someone's audio or video feed isn't working.

  • What's stopping you from writing your Rust like this?

    Jump

  • I'm not sure if you're taking the piss or not but I'm going to choose to believe you're asking in good faith!

    The code just feels... messy, unfamiliar, almost chaotic - but the semicolons and curly brackets in a neat little row, formatted in a satisfying way, is like an island of calm and order in the middle of a formatting clusterfuck.

    A moment of serenity in the middle of a riot, one may think.

  • What's stopping you from writing your Rust like this?

    Jump

  • I hate it with every fibre of my being but also secretly calmed by that column of statement terminators and brackets.

    It's like the code representation of the Vancouver riots kiss photo.

  • When Your Last Name Is Null, Nothing Works

  • Taking the issue at face value, I wonder what Johnny Null's workaround would be for his (or their) name?

    N'ull? Nul-l? \Null? Null? JohnnyN ull?
