  • I dont fault that really, saying good things when a company does good things is fairly normal, as is working for a company that doesnt do good things but you've got to have a job.

  • Quizmaster: Jolly good! Well now Madam your first question for the blow on the head this evening is: Which great opponent of Cartesian dualism resists the reduction of psychological phenomena to a physical state and insists there is no point of contact between the extended and the unextended?

    Ratbag: I don’t know that.

    Quizmaster: Well – have a guess!

    Ratbag: Oh… Henri Bergson?

    Quizmaster: …is the correct answer! (Piano chords)

    Ratbag: Ooh, that was lucky. I never even heard of him.

  • I mean technically any machine is a potential Linux machine...

  • Waste is how you frame it.

    Even literal poop has a benefit.

    I do client work, sometimes it drives me mad how much time I "waste" making PPT slides that are just prettier BI dashboards, but then the client sees it, sends that one slide to his boss and everyone claps me on the back.

  • Mexico is a big country, Google has shareholders who demand line goes up, people use maps to advertise ("map pack" "local SEO" and brand tie-ins)...

  • it's a tricky question, arguably there are more people on this planet that call countries by their Mandarin name, followed by their Spanish name, followed by their English name, than the name in the native language.

    De Guo > Alemania > Germany > Deutschland for example

  • They finally did it, the crazy sonnuva bitches finally reached you about your cars extended warranty.

  • I interviewed someone today whose hobby was poetry of the African diasporia, for a position relative to logistics.

    While I know very little about that specific poetic oeuvre, hearing them talk about their passion gave me an insight into their personality.

    Perhaps ask questions about what they're into rather than if they're into thing.

  • literally the plot of Atlas Shrugged, except once again, it's capitalism demonstrating the evils that supposedly only happen under so-called "Communism."

  • There's a tradeshow a client of mine is attending where the DEI talk has been rebranded "Justice, Equality, Diversity and Inclusion" — JEDI.

    Thought that was kinda clever actually.

  • 1/6887 is not good odds.

  • it's a reference to this (circa April 2019)

    which was a reference to this (circa December 2018)

  • meaning "of the stars" (from Latin, as opposed to Astral from the Greek)

    used in modern English in "consider" (literally: with the stars, meaning to scrutinize the sky).

  • yeah I can spot an AI marketing email almost instantly now. I can't even really tell you why.

  • because you mentioned the kernel I was riffing off the Linux copypasta


    I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

    Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

    There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!

  • or, as I've taken to calling it "hu plus man"

  • it has the GitHub change log in the article, so yes they did have the skill set and accounts, made the changes and posted the receipts

    (?!?!?!?)
