    Knock Knock

    How can you be a Doctor and a Dentist there is not enough time

    what do dogs call Italy?

    dogtaly

    How many sharks does it take to make a grandpa shark?

    1,280,000 sharks.

    what does NASA stand for.

    not another spaceship aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

    can you fart?

  • in GTA 2, naming your player "GOURANGA" activates the cheat code mode. "IAMDAVEJ" gives you all guns.

    in half-life 2, typing ent_fire !picker in the console makes the thing you are looking at catch fire. it's also the base command for a lot of other things; if you're looking at a door and add "unlock" to the command, the door will open.

    when stacking firewood, always put the pieces with the bark facing up. that way, rain can't get the wood wet, and the logs dry quicker.

    paper maps fold long side first.

    the modern graphical interface of the personal computer was developed by Xerox and plagiarized by Steve jobs after he got a factory tour in 1972, but he missed the most important part of the computer that he saw: it was fully networked using what we today call Ethernet.

  • yeah, with mpd

  • in Germany*

  • elaborate.

  • ...but you were talking about the git project in the parent comment? the rest of the thread is about company structure.

  • engineers have not only the option, but the duty to refuse unethical orders. if your company tries to get you to do something that is unethical, you refuse, and they kick you out, that's a legal issue and the unions would descend on that company like vultures.

    there's also the option of malicious compliance; implement things wrong on purpose before blowing the whistle.

    keeping both of these in mind: if you are in this situation, you know about these options, and you still do it, then yes you are liable as all hell. not as much as your employer because they do have power over you (thinking of dieselgate) but you definitely had the option of walking away.

    the maintenance tech is probably not even employed there, it's more efficient for one maintenance firm to do maintenance for multiple companies.

  • dunno. they were talking about git so i was assuming we were talking about git.

  • that's just amazon. meta is tiny in comparison, with 75k people.

  • I was thinking specifically about the github.

  • same verb different form. i was thinking you could demonstrate by showing the three forms of a different word. like... "drive".

    drove, drive, ???

  • its an org, it can have multiple owners.

  • that's the same verb

  • can you use another verb to illustrate the form?

  • pro art gallery when

  • that's such a good question. i can't believe i'd never thought of asking that.

  • well that's just, like, your opinion, man

  • can't wait to have a tiny cacodemon in a tube on my desk

  • i just did it for one video :P it really is tedious and thankless though so it would be a great application of ml.
